I was going stir-crazy in my little apartment. The overwhelming urge to go out for a couple drinks was winning. I checked my wallet -- again. The ten dollar bill was still there -- it hadn't magically changed into a 20 or more. I thought about it for a few more minutes and remembered my unemployment check would be in the bank the next day. I grabbed my windb...
Chapter 16 "I'll do the dishes, you go write." I clutched the edge of the table and pretended to swoon. "I've been waiting my whole life to hear those words." Daniel rolled his eyes and snickered, but in a way, it was true. I pretty much gave up on the relationship thing when Neil moved out. Before that, really. Before he ever moved in. Obviously, there...
"I have had it with you! Seriously Michael, this is the last straw." Janean glowered at Mikey as she stood, hands on her hips, tapping one foot and ranting angrily. "When are you ever going to learn?" "Now, just calm down baby." Mikey's father stood up from his chair and moved to her side. "Just give the kid a chance to explain. He said it was all a mistake...
Just like always I can hear the nearest neighbour pour water into something before he shuts the water off. The soft padding of feet floating above my head. I follow the footsteps, wandering beneath him. It's fascinating, how I can hear every move he makes. I know when he goes to work, when he comes home, when he sleeps and when he wakes. I know that he list...
My body felt like it was on fire. Zack's tongue was invading my mouth and sending chills down my spine. Is this even really happening? I felt his arms tighten around my waist. His body was pressing intimately up against my own. Zack ended the kiss and buried his face into my neck. I could hear him murmuring my name over and over. "Zack, we need to stop this...
Chapter Thirty-Three - Unmoored Ah, damn, it was raining. Carter didn't exactly feel like going out in the rain, but Taz could care less about that and needed out like five minutes ago. Well, it wasn't like he was the one depressed, right? There was no point for him, as a dog, to mope around the house, in slippers and pajamas. Could dogs feel depressed? He...
I opened my apartment door wide before I realized that I had forgotten to hide my tattoo under a hat. It was already too late. The man at the door was wide-eyed as he read the label pasted across my forehead. He was black, about thirty, a bit stocky and very handsome. He wore the tan shirt and striped black pants of a security guard from my office. In his h...

My first short story, my first story written specifically for you wonderful people, my first foray into anything other than simple sex. (Well, when is sex really simple? But you get my drift.) Also, my first try at creating some...

The phone rang. "Hello?" "Is Kyle Matthews in, please?" "This is Kyle Matthews." "Mister Matthews, this is Doctor Curtis, calling from County General." Kyle's heart leaped into his throat. A million things went through his mind, none of them good. Has something happened to Kim, Bryan or the twins? He wondered, slightly frightened. He never even considere...
