AS I kissed her goodbye, I had no idea how the day was about to unfold. I hopped into the boat and with four tugs on the engine cord, started putting my way across the lake. I was taking a break from my two weeks at the cottage to see how the renovations were doing. My wife is a style writer and was doing a makeover on our main floor for a TV "Decor" series....
Marcus Hennley watched as the city of Boston passed him by outside the window of the yellow cab he was presently sitting in. He had never been to this part of the United States and was interested in exploring the city. But, first he had attended ten band auditions. It wasn't until the last band he had met with that he found a new band home. The group ReAmpe...
Jake, the college dormitory's newest college freshman, started to head upstairs. He knew from what he was told last night that he had to be initiated before he was welcomed among the juniors and seniors he was wanting to live at the dormitory with this year. To him, it seemed like a small, surmountable task that would last an hour, maybe two, and he'd be abl...
I'd barely made it through a rough day in paradise. I had paperwork up to my eyeballs, and the ambassador was being a real bear toward the Country Team. He was being crushed in a vice between Washington, the Greeks, and the Turks over the latest failure of the Cypriot settlement talks to move just when the Greeks and Turks were both teasing us with the possi...
"My truck's just over here," the trucker said. He led me over to a huge semi with a large cabin behind the driving compartment. He opened the door to this cabin, and I saw that there was a short-lengthened twin-sized bed in it along with some shelves, a compact john, and a small refrigerator and cooking unit. The bed was covered with pillows and there were s...
This is my first story. Please let me know what you think and if I should continue. I've read ton of stories over the years and felt it was payback time! My hat's off to all the authors on this site. I'm learning this takes time to do well! .............................................. After my Friday night ordeal with Huan and then his younger brother,...
John was a distinguished looking man and ever so friendly. Young Peter was not exactly sure what he did in the hotel but he always seemed to be on his floor when Peter came out of his room or in the foyer when he returned to the hotel after work. John was such a big man, very handsome in a rugged sort of way and always took the opportunity to put his arm aro...

The 'Ocean Gypsy' sailed on a calm sea as she headed for her next port, the moon making the ocean a thing of silver and black. Her Captain walked her upp...
After indulging in another long drag from a freshly-lit joint, Jason and Jacob stepped into the piping hot shower stream as they reveled in all of the highs the night had brought them. Jason's apartment shower wasn't huge, but it was big enough for them to stand side by side as they covered their bodies completely in hot water. The pot had gone straight...
This story is a treasure memory. I took to the gym in my late teens, having been a fat kid. Fat kids were rare in those days. I guess that being more numerous now, perhaps there is less stigma attached to being "The fat kid", maybe not but when I see so many obese children waddling about the supermarket and I remember how much effort it has taken to recover...
