Damon and his friends were spending the day in Damon's house since it was his turn to host their Saturday morning get-together. He had told Tristan to come join them so he could officiall...
The next day I left for work early and had to walk since Maryellen took the car the night before. I worked with Alex the entire day and had no more embarrassing moments, though I did get some good staring time in. Most of the morning passed with only a little conversation but when lunch rolled around, we sat together and started talking. I found out that h...
"Why Goa? And where is it?" The question had come from the second row of those few sitting in the dimly lit voluminous lecture hall at Georgetown University, the venerable Jesuit-founded stone Gothic-style campus towering over the Potomac River west of the Washington, D.C., city center. The query was posed to the tall, thin, distinguished-looking professor...
"Do you believe in ghosts?" It was not the sort of question my wife normally asked. I'm the romantic type. She's a numbers person, a bean counter. "I don't know. Why do you ask?" "Well, we're hiking up to a ghost town, aren't we?" "It's not that sort of ghost town" "It was a thriving village once." A voice broke in behind us. One of the guys walking alon...
Are you coming? 86th & Park. You're on the list. On my way. Kip replied to the text message. He shut his laptop, made a side glance at the pile of work on his desk then gathered his things. It could wait. He'd promised to make an appearance at Tyler's first party of the year. Neither Kip's nor Tyler's schedule had allowed them to have much quality time tog...
This is a long, character-driven story. The sex begins around the last five pages or so-- if that's what you're here for. I'd like to think that the rest of it is somewhat worth reading. Notes & constructive criticism are greatly appreciated. -- Leon xx ***** "FUCK!" I slammed my fist down on the island, tears burning in my eyes. I was still st...
I am fairly certain my father knew there was more to my being apprenticed to the Dutch munitions broker Fons Hertzog when I arrived in Cape Town from London then learning a merchant's trade. He was being protective of me, I'm sure, the Great War having broken out the previous summer in Europe with the assassination of the archduke. With the war only enlargi...
The final chapter is here. Originally, this was going to be one big chapter, but it's been taking me too long and the chapter itself is also very long, so I'm splitting it in half. I hope my friends and readers enjoy this and the last installment of Aquata Cove. ***** Chapter 100: Together Forever As far as history can remember... The old king breathes...
THE USS COCK vs. THE LEATHERNECK BATTLESHIP Couldn't believe my eyes. Who woulda thunk? The Hulk had a weakness! I was amazed. Couldn't believe it. A monster like The Hulk with such a teeny weakness! It was like the Statue of Liberty jumping up on a chair screaming it saw a mouse. Let me explain. The Hulk was the biggest Marine I ever saw. An oversized R...
