Chapter 1 The weather had finally broken and had taken on a somewhat different aspect, more in keeping with the early summer. Whilst it remained quite warm, the temperatures had tumbled down to around 18-20 degrees, and a noticeable wind had stirred the air. It had been some weeks ago that Matt had last been around – the last encounter had left both Laura...
The following day, back at his usual post, Sam Stillwell was restless. He pondered all day whether he should go back to the gang's hangout. He was nervous. How would he be received without Devon? Would he be received without Devon? And he was nervous about going without Devon. Even though he knew Devon had no more control than he in the situation he woul...
It was my first summer term at university. I'd been biking a lot so my legs and butt were nicely muscled, but I wanted to have an all-round balanced look. I'd resolved to work on my upper body by using the weight sets at the gym, which was only a few minutes' walk from my residence. I'd been doing regular workouts there for the past three weeks, but hadn't r...
Daniel sat stunned! He just simply could not believe his own reaction to that photograph. Ok, so it was an erotic, perhaps even obscene, photograph, but he had seen erotic photography before without such an immediate and extreme reaction. But here he was, turned on like never before! Daniel had an obsession. He loved to have his partner tied to the bed, leg...
I hope you've been enjoying these characters who've been keeping me company the last few months. I could have gone on much longer but decided this chapter, including some brief epilogues, would be the end of this story.

David, on the basis mainly of his undergraduate work, saw his name on his first scientific publication. It was shared of course with three other coworkers. He seemed excessi...
Part of the 'Butt Monkey' series of stories by Robert Furlong === "This is why I don't come to office Christmas parties," I thought to myself as I stood near the photocopier feeling awkwardly self-conscious and uncomfortable. I was trying to look as casual I could, exchanging half-hearted pleasantries with guys from different departments who I barely knew...
It's 2018. The five of us are sitting in Heathrow airport, waiting to board a plane to New york where we have several interviews to give and a couple of TV shows to shoot for the promotion of our fourth album with U-N-I. U-N-I, that's the name we gave to the group we formed over ten years ago. Our lives have been so crazy in the past ten years, sometimes I...
Note: In this chapter we hear from several of Jamie's family-first hand Aiden Spence. I'd just finished giving a speeding driver a ticket when my cell phone rang. "Officer Spence," I responded while on my way back to the patrol car, not instantly recognizing the number, but it looked familiar. "Hey, Aiden? It's Matt from the Austin FD. You got a sec, bud...
I woke early to the sound of truck doors slamming nearby and the deep rumble of cold engines beginning to warm. For a moment the noises were alien and alarming, but then a flash of recollection put them in context. The trucker. The day had barely begun but already some drivers were getting the jump on it, pulling out of their bays and trundling across the...
