I came in my door as the sun was already going down, my mind searching for the next important thing to do and... rejecting them. I was hungry, there were dishes to do, but something in my hind brain put it all aside; right off the bat. I had been thinking about this moment all day, as silly as it kind of felt. I had been thinking about how to do it this time...
The shower water has long since run cold. Those laughing, jeering voices have echoed into nothingness. Still I stand here, shivering and cowering, hoping like hell I am truly alone. Soon I will climb out of this cold, thundering stream and run through to the changing room. Naked. Those bastards have taken my towel and my sweaty cricket gear, even my box, sho...
My name is Rahul and I want to share with you a disturbing thing that happened to me last year. I joined a Zen Buddhist meditation group in the city I had recently moved to. I don't want to mention where it was. I am a specialist software engineer (computer programmer) and I move around the country depending on where the latest project is. I became intereste...
When you're eighteen years old, about to graduate from high school, and have a long summer of relaxation and fun in front of you, the last thing you want is for your whole world to be turned upside down. And you certainly don't want it to happen the way it did to me. Loud shouting from the hall woke me around midnight, and before I'd worked out that the agit...
By the time I've plunged the coffee and made a pile of buttered toast, I'm a bit calmer. In control of myself enough that I think I can manage a silent cuppa rather than screaming 'fuck off and away out of my life', the moment I see him. He's still glistening with water, hair in tiny wee wet spikes, with a towel tucked round his waist. A hand towel. It ju...
Omar and Barry were my neighbors in DC before they moved to California 10 years back. They lived in my building complex and we hit it off immediately after meeting at a mutual friend's dinner party. Barry and I quickly connected over our love of team sports. At nearly 6ft, he was a big man but surprisingly agile on the field. He joined my soccer team. Ba...
The muscle-burning peddle up into the base of the Thompson Gap had helped. I'd had to think about what to do next—what to think about and what not. Mom wanted me to stay a couple of more weeks before leaving for Wake Forest for my first year there. The university coach had suggested that guys trying out for track and field couldn't show up early enough to st...
*All characters are over 18. Appreciate any constructive feedback.* Sure enough as I was changing in the Doctor's lounge one of the other female residents approached me and asked, "There's a rumor running round about you and Dr Crenshaw in Cardiology." Teresa and I went to the same university and have always been close. In a hushed voice I said, "I don't...
When I first wrote about my relationship with Stefan, I incorrectly wrote that our first time having bareback sex was a trip we took in May of the first year we were together. I meant to correct that before I published the story but forgot and I did not expect to write another story about us. But because of responses I received I decided to write about some...
I heard the hum of a well-tuned engine out in front of the restaurant and turned to the window to see who was gliding in. The car, a beautiful, new silver Porsche 911 Carrera, didn't make it as far as a marked-off parking space before it stopped, at somewhat of an awkward angle, taking up two spaces. I paused with the thought of whether he'd parked that way...
