Wow, seems like forever since I've posted anything. Life was pretty busy and then along came the novel coronavirus and got even crazier. I haven't been able to contact my long-suffering editor, LarryInSeattle -- well before the virus hit. I hope he's well. It took a while to find a replacement. Say hello to HotandHollow. Needless to say, any errors you fin...
Continental Breakfast I woke, or to be more accurate, I was awoken, on the morning of my actual birthday by the sound of the chain-tracked hotel curtains being yanked apart. The room lightened to a misty grey, the setting moon bouncing silvery-white light off the snow from the previous evening's blizzard and mixing with the faded yellow street lamps from th...
I am just a lonely boy. High school sucks for me. Sure my grades are good, and I got into Yale, but I have no sex life. Just home and school life. I just turned 18, and I can technically have my own life. And that's when I decided to go to my district community college campus. Pretending I'm a student and similar in age to most of them i look for a person t...
Peter Russell stepped out of his car and looked up at the building before him. 'Block G, level 4, room 417,' he muttered to himself under his breath, glancing down at the key in his hand. All around him anxious parents were fussing round their kids, helping them with boxes, bags and suitcases. Pete slung his backpack over his shoulder, pulled his case from...
I just finished high school, graduation already ended, I am 18 years old, my name is Anthony Johnson, about 6'5 in height, lanky build. I guess you can say I look like your typical nerd, i'm not ashamed who I am though, I like myself, blonde hair with blue eyes, and skin as pale white as it can get, my friends often joke that i'm secretly a vampire. My pa...
"What the hell happened to you?" That was the first thing Norman had said to his daughter's ex-boyfriend as soon as he opened the door and found the young man standing on the porch. He almost questioned whether or not he even saw the right person. It had been at least two days since Norman's daughter had broken up with eighteen-year-old Isaac. And since the...
A slightly longer chapter than what I'd usually write, thanks to some comments from my readers. My apologies for taking so long, and to the one reader whom I'd promised that this would be out on Wednesday. =/ Enjoy. ***** "Hey, watch it asshole!" "You blind or something?" A hand shoved me out of the way as I staggered towards a lamp post, leaning heavil...
The final chapter for this story. It's 2.27am right now, my energy levels are zilch and I've just completed it. My bad, and I'll try to release all the chapters at once for a story next time. Have fun. ***** "Jake." I turned to look at the person who'd called out my name. Keisuke was standing several paces behind me, an unreadable expression on his face....
It was my junior year in college and things weren't any better than before. I was still considered the brains of my classes and no one wanted to be my friend. I guess because I looked the part everyone avoided me. I was tall and thin, gangly you could call me. I had a class where some of the football jocks attended. The main man was Joey, the star quarterb...
My name is Bernard Brown and I am a big and tall black guy. A lot of people think that if you are a big guy, then your life is miserable and lonely and you don't get any fun. That's so lame, seriously! When you describe a miserable person with self-esteem issues who hates themselves and doesn't want to enjoy life, you're not talking about a big man or a big...
