I'm impressed and amazed at the imaginations of many authors here—able to write from multiple perspectives, inventing complex scenarios, developing characters through multiple chapters of evolving stories. I am not one of those authors. My background is in science, specifically biology. I deal with questions, observations, data, hypotheses, analysis. I rare...
James spent the next work day more unfocused than usual now that Ben was out with a fever from what happened the previous night. Julia was there for him, of course, probably tucking him in and giving him food and some spare antibiotics she had stashed away with her tranquilizers. She always knew James's secret, and was willing to have their open marriage so...
Chapter Three Kyle said he preferred to walk home, so he could clear his head and ended up wandering. The day was bright, and he was surprised at the amount of traffic downtown. It wasn't something he'd paid much attention to. On weekends, he would usually spend in bed, reading comic books and cheap science-fiction novels. He headed across the lower side,...
Alien dust. It gets everywhere. It penetrates despite the best insulation science can devise. Cycling into the dome through the airlock from the crawler I feel the intimate rub of its familiar dry grittiness on my skin, that same urgency to cleanse it away. Once inside I head direct for the bath-unit. It's already in use. But I can hear the water tapering of...
This story is based on a real incident that happened many years ago. Unfortunately, I wasn't ready at the time. This occurred long before the internet and home pc's. All characters are at least 18 years of age. I hope that you enjoy ... * It around sunup was a warm summer morning. Since there was no reason to hurry, Andy had taken his time biking around hi...
I had attending a science fiction convention. It had been fun, but I was mainly on my own, most of my friends didn't go and I wasn't dating at the time. I had attended a number of panels, checked out the dealers room and the art show. I checked out a few parties but none really appealed to me so I headed for the con suite. I was sitting a table when this guy...
The phone rang. It was midnight. I knew it was Joel. The dreams of his absence were over. This was the reality of hearing that voice I had held silently in my throat all these years to hear. I picked up the receiver. Joel said, "It's St. Nicks and it's raining." I told him not to be a puppet again. Not to be a marionette. To stop being sad. To stop hiding...
In the nice weather, the members of Manclub bring their slaves outside naked, though they wear shoes and, since Jason is fair-skinned, I allowed him a baseball cap. I, myself, always have a lead attached to Jason's collar. Others simply have the slave walk a respectful distance behind them. Slaves are not permitted to communicate with each other. The day aft...

Send me your email through private feedback and I will send you the new chapte...
The young groundskeeper found himself totally naked and strapped tightly to the stool. Sitting upright with his legs slightly separated he was bound and could not move an inch, nor could he even flex or flinch, he was a total captive. Now he was inside the old abandoned hospital, long left to rot and ruin. The property management company paid him to keep the...
