I heard Grace's sobs for me as I lay in my coffin deep in my darkened apartment. My heart ached for her agony. As promised though, I sent her my heart in my stead. It would calm her for a moment and then someone would brush against her and frighten her in the crowded city street. She'd murmur to herself: 'If Angel were here, I'd not feel so frightened.' Just...
"Hey you, come here - I need to test out something." My mentor, part mad scientist part brilliant artist all genius eccentric, calls me over. I am her loyal assistant, learning her skills and her ways as I help clean after her and set up before her. I am her protege by title, but mostly I am part of her work - her tools, her workshop, her canvas. "Right. N...
Penny was tall slim and sexy. She liked smart clothes, for herself and for Mark, because he thought her a sensual dresser. She also liked casual clothes, for she could tease him. Shirts and singlet tops without a bra, or wearing a pushup, that made her beautiful breasts bulge, and he said it made him hard, when her nipples peeked out. She used the fact that...
Silence. The only sound was coming from the window air conditioner. She looks at me; I look at her. Time moves, but we do not. Our eyes remain locked. Her eyes search mine for some sort of explanation. I rifle through my thoughts trying to come up with an excuse for why I had just kissed my best friend. I got confused... It's college, everyone tries it...Hav...
Ask any of my friends and they would be the first to admit that my views differ from theirs. For example, I have issues using the terms boyfriend, relationship, and serious in conversations involving the guys I typically have around. Unless of course the sentence in question is something along the lines of "The guy you referred to as my boyfriend, and I are...
"Okay, everybody, one more push through, on my count and 7,6,5,4,3,2,1....and you are done. Excellent, that's one of the leg burners I have been saving up- just because it's Friday is no reason to go easy on you, and I don't want to see you all back here flabby and bummed out on Monday..." It was a demanding, punishing work out that that had scared the hell...
As women, we have all thought about it now and then. Whether it is in disgust, mild curiosity, or if it is an utter turn-on is irrelevant. When you are on the examination table, your feet are in the stirrups, and the doctor is prodding and poking you with those cold metal instruments, you are at your most vulnerable. Maybe it is a fleeting thought or somethi...
Chapter 3: Second Skin The crystal globe sang with reverberations as it rattled, the spotlight glinting off its surface in the darkness. Strong yet diminutive fists collided unrelentingly with the globe's interior wall with force enough to crumble mountains, but found pure diamentium giving no quarter. Perspiration began condensing on the taut sinuous muscl...
For context, please read "The Wall" Comments and criticism always welcome - JJS Harshaw Joy's Friend "Uh...Vicki, this is Melanie Craig. I'm a friend of Joy's." There was a pause and then a groggy "hmmmm" on the other end of the line. "I'm sorry...I'm a morning person." The voice was husky with sleep. "No. Ummmm, no, that's ok. I was just going...
Today was grocery day, the usual trip to the supermarket is usually one mundane task to say the least. I see you walk down the middle aisle, you're distracted momentarily by the end aisle promotions. There's nothing of much interest so it would seem so you move on, turn a corner & disappear. I slowly walk towards the same aisle. As I turn the corner I see...
