My father was an engineer, and his father before him was doctor. Before him, my great-grandfather was a renowned marine biologist and so on. I became none of these things. No. I, Simon Booker, was destined to become a teacher. Truth be told, I was barely successful in these fields of study during my schooling years. Additionally, I had very little interest...
I looked up from the book. The silence made sound more pronounced, and I mistook every creak of my chair and boom of heavy footsteps above me as someone approaching me. No matter how many Fridays I spent in this isolated library cubicle in the study room of the basement floor, the paranoia of being caught jerked my head up at any sound. I turned my head tw...
Jude had gotten through the second set at The Spot in Chelsea the same way he had gotten through all of Logjam's concerts in the last two decades—riding a high on the music, the roar of the crowd, beer, and poppers. If the proportion of beer and poppers had been relentlessly creeping up over the last fifteen years, it had been too gradual for Jude to notice...
I can't believe this is happening right now Matt thought to himself. Stupid hand me down car. He really should have known better than to accept a car, a free car at that, from his brother. Mike never gave away anything for free. "I really do appreciate this Sir," Matt told John as they walked across the parking lot. "Don't mention it." John replied, glanci...
When I woke Sunday morning, I was completely nude. I'd showered and removed my makeup before bed. The image in the mirror as I pissed standing up was totally male. I was clearly a man, in appearance at least. Sure, I was totally hairless, but that didn't make me less male. Inside I didn't feel manly. I didn't feel independent, willful, or strong. I felt vu...
The bust had just been announce officially and notices had gone out notifying the staff that layoffs would be in affect. The five senior engineering designers were informed that only one would be remaining with the firm. As the youngest I naturally assumed that my tenure with the firm was at an end. With a young child, a new house and a stay at home wife and...
His stomach was a mix of excitement and fear, and it was impossible to untangle the two. There was a good showing of people out tonight. Smoke, alcohol and high pitched laughter wafting around through the air. The light turned green and he stepped out with the waiting crowd off the curb to cross the street. Part of them, but apart. His hands and feet were bu...
I few years ago I was at my workplace's summer 'do'. An event held each year for all the offices in the UK to get together and party on down. These events were notorious for employees getting in compromising situations and the offices would be awash with rumours for weeks afterwards. Little did I know it was going to be my lucky night. Now, I'm a Bi lad/som...

Global warming was certainly making the weather more extreme. In Darwin we were already getting warnings of another cyclone building up, and it was only days since the previous one, Nigel, had crossed the Northern Territory coast 300 kilometres to the west. Half way to the Western Australian border, in the middle of nowhere, and had fizzled out without doing...
