This is an ongoing story. It might be a good idea to read the first two chapters before reading this one. ***** Tom's already heavy head swam with new thoughts and the air seemed to escape his lungs and refuse to return. In ten years since his mother left his father he had heard him referred to as "that man" and "the asshole." So the fact that she referred...
The sky illuminated in a colorless haze, though the sun was not yet up. I stood still in the middle of the room, where the coffee table had been, just staring at the couch for a couple of minutes. Something settled in one of the moving boxes and my feet left the floor. I sighed, bit my lip and went over to the right side of the white mammoth, gripped underne...
Over the next few weeks, I worked with Dr. Miller in her lab. I was more of a secretary then a scientist, filing paperwork, blood and tissue samples, etc. I had to admit that working days was a lot easier than working nights and a lot more freedom. On Sunday I met up with Noah at the chapel. There was a local preacher who came by to lead a non-denominationa...
Prologue - The Chase The black evil crows carefully clawed onto the cables, and barked their annoyance at me. Even the dark, hideous silver-linings behind the clouds looked petulant as I choked on the thought of Nate putting those uncomfortable handcuffs around my injured wrists. I was running for my life. Better yet, I was sprinting away from a crime scene...
Kevin woke the next morning and headed to the bathroom to release a steady stream of piss into the toilet. He hadn't drunk in a while and though he hadn't had a lot, the beer still had left his bladder full and his head feeling funny that morning. He flushed, and made his way into his office. "Computer?" Kevin said as he sat down in front of his terminal....
Chapter 36: Voice of Mercy SLAM Another day, another line of questioning, and another look of sheer hatred from the young blonde male as the heat lamps blare down on him once again. Nigel shook his head as he looked through the glass wall between him and his 'guest'. Erin looked sadly at Merrick. His complexion looks terrible -- there are red blotches alon...
I clamped my hands snugly around my enormous cup of coffee, letting it warm them as I idly absorbed the noises of the bustling shop around me. Friends laughing together, cashiers taking orders, machines hissing, baristas stirring, pouring, squirting fluffy mountains of whipped cream over tooth-achingly sweet creations. These noises blended together with the...
Author's Note: This will be a fairly tragic story in some ways. There will be some terribly upsetting violence (nonsexual), and the ending isn't meant to be very satisfying. However, different people have different opinions. *** Bang! Crunch! Arthur's body was forced to lurch forward a bit, but when his heart stopped battering his ribs and his gooseb...
This is a true story about something that happened to me recently. When I'm bored and horny, which is quite often, I browse the local Craigslist casual encounters section. This is usually a waste of time because the ads are mostly repeats by the same people who are either obviously fake, unattractive, or not looking for what I'm looking for. And when you d...
I picked up my phone just as I did every morning to shut off my alarm – I briefly considered throwing it out my window. I didn't move for ten minutes. "Better get up," I said to myself. I had too much to do to waste time staying in bed. I did all the morning usuals – coffee, breakfast, bathroom, and off to start the day. I grabbed my gym bag and headed out...
