I should never have been flip when Vincent asked me about that photo of Phil and me I kept on the shelf in my cubicle at work. I didn't really want to talk about Phil. We'd been roommates at the university. He'd been the star athlete and I'd been the quiet, studious geek. Still, we'd gotten along real well. Night and day we were called at school. But I'd had...
Full Blown By casey5940 Chapter 1 It was the start of my freshman year at State University. My dad had helped me pack a few things in the back of the old Camry they had given me. At least I would have wheels to get around the small town surrounding the campus. Since apartments were too expensive for my parents to pay for, I would be staying in the dorms,...

I saw him from a good distance away, walking down the highway in the direction I was driving shortly after a big cloverleaf marking the intersection of two major highways. He hardly looked like an experienced hitchhiker, but that was exactly what he seemed to be doing. Not only was hitchhiking illegal on a highway like this, but I also couldn't remember the...
The first time I returned to Bethlehem from college, that Christmas break so long ago, I'd felt that familiar as my parents' house was, it was no longer my home, that I'd really only be a visitor from then on out, because my future lay elsewhere. I should have felt even more of an outsider on my way to Garden City, but for some reason I didn't. Despite every...
***Myles appears in my Mason series. This story is a part of the "In'DaMan'd" Universe.*** The steady rhythm of the treadmill calmed Myles, it eradicated all of his thoughts and stresses. All he had to do was just keep running forward. Every so often his concentration would falter and Mason would slip into his mind. He couldn't make sense of his feelings a...
After graduating from college in Pennsylvania, I moved to Boston for my first full-time job. It was a little harder to make friends in a new city than I expected, and I found myself spending a lot of time in online chatrooms. Now that I was in my 'adult' life, one of the things I missed the most about college was: in college it was so common to see naked guy...
Author's Note: I suppose most of these notes are self-evident, but I include them here to circumvent getting comments about them later. I've read many a story where the comments section has left me scratching my head; it's always a good reminder to me that, just because an author puts something in a story, it doesn't mean (s)he endorses or agrees with it. A...
Author's Note - The voices in my head are still sexually harassing me. ~Dayne Chapter Two – On Finger-Banging Cheerleaders I'm not completely sure why we're tabling for yet another week during the summer session. But, Kiley thinks she can keep the GSA active even though most of our members went home for the summer, and somehow I'm roped into this. I hones...
