"EXCUSE ME!" came an inpatient voice. "I've been ringing this bell for at least 5 minutes and I'm TIRED of being ignored!" At the sound of the peevish interruption, Mike slid out from underneath the car he was working on. As he got to his feet, he started to wipe the grease from his hands on his pants and look for the source of irritation. Standing in the...
At the buffet breakfast the next morning in the Ambrosia Restaurant, Tiho was moving around a bit more gingerly and with a little less of the playful buoyancy and bounce that he had the night before, but he was still making an effort to play the role of everyone's favorite leprechaun. No doubt this was a studied role that won him extra tips at the end of the...
The first time I heard Sam singing his version of a Beatles number, 'All My Lovin' I just knew I was hooked. He performed at the local bar, I had not heard of him until then but I grabbed the opportunity to buy him a drink after he'd performed and received rapturous applause. That was then and now is now, we got talking like it was magic, like we both had...
I stared at the phone on my desk dreading the call I knew I had to make. Earlier in the day, my secretary slipped me a note while I was on the phone telling me a guy named Mark was on line two. He didn't give a last name but I knew exactly who it was. Only one man would have the nerve to tell her, "Just tell him Mark. He'll take the call..." I hurried my con...
"Room inspection!" I hear someone say from outside my door. I open my eyes and sit up in my bed. Cody isn't here, he must have gone out while I slept in. I needed some extra sleep after staying up to work on his homework assignments all night. I pull the blanket off of myself to go open the door, but realize that I'm still naked. Whoever is outside my r...
I owned a small, one family, three bedroom home in a nice town 13 miles outside of New York City. When the Republicans passed the "Cut Taxes for the Rich" tax law, I found it was more economical for me, from a property tax standpoint, to rent the house out and move into a rental apartment. As the local real estate market improved, I decided to sell the house...
Chapter Three -- Whatever Cory Wants Dusk stole over the roofs and treetops. The stark tree branches etched into the shades of pink and orange that broke over the horizon, painting the clouds before bleeding back into the dark. Sounds of life rose despite the chill in the air—the rustle and call of winter birds, the foraging and chittering of squirrels—all...
God I was tired. I had been to a late night cruise bar in the hope of picking someone up, but some nights it seems to be just the same old faces. Uninteresting ones at that. I got really bored so downed my last pint, got in my car and started on the fifty minute drive home. It was the end of the week and I’d gone out straight from work, bringing my ‘overnigh...
This is the story of a gay man in a hostile anti-gay military environment, who has to endure therapy by a homophobic medic. This story contains homosexuality. If you object or its not allowed in your area, leave now. Thanks to my friend KABS and Gingerninja for editing for me! ***** The year was 1984. South Africa wasn't a happy place. I was in the army...
My car came to a stop below the front of the house and I just sat there. It had been a long day and I was tired and not ready for the chaos I would find inside. Instead I sat there in the car and lay my head back on the headrest and closed my eyes for five minutes of peace. A year ago I would have been hurrying inside, however hard my day had been. But a ye...
