We'd been two years living in Calcutta when my life changed forever. My husband, Peter, was a high-tech hired gun who'd been brought in by a powerful new Indian computer conglomerate to straighten out the problems that often came to companies that grew too fast. Pete had just finished up grad school at MIT and his skills had started to come in great demand...
"You know what I don't like about her," said Anita, the tall statuesque blonde, "is that she thinks she is better than the rest of us." "I'll second that," said Carol as she sipped on her wine, while sitting in Anita's family room. "Well," said Cindy the redhead, "I think her problem is that she and her husband don't have enough sex." The three women laug...
It had been such a long day for Tessa. First, she overslept and was almost late to work. Of course her boss, a. k. a "The Total Bitch From Hell Almighty" was waiting at her desk when she got there, already prepared to ream her out and decide to treat her like she had been for the rest of the day anyway. Next, everything she attempted to do took twice as long...
Meghan looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her Halloween costume looked great. Being a huge Star Wars fan she had decided to dress up as a Twi`lekk smuggler. The costume consisted of tight fitting black pants and knee high boots of the same colour. A crimson shirt fell down to her upper thighs. A belt held her blaster pistol and pouches for equipment. He...
At this moment in time, my hands shaking on the keyboard, I muse. I romanticize that I am going to see her. Then the romance goes away, and I see the facts, not the emotions. The reality kicks in. Oh yeah, she was serious. She doesn't want me and for good reason. She is in a 24 hour in patient program with no date of release. In the dream, this fantasy tha...
The phone rang; "Oh shit." muttered Alison without taking her eyes off the screen. " Can't you ignore it?" She implored of her best friend, Elaine. "It's getting to a really hot scene." Elaine chuckled and shook her head. "No way! It might be my mum. Just pause the tape." Alison pouted and turned the volume up instead; "Oh yes, yes, right there, don't stop...
Layla was a licensed car mechanic, who operated out of a large garage near to the edge of Omen City. She wasn't affiliated with any company, and she was the only worker, but she got by from a combination of her constant hard work and the loyalty of the local civilians. Most of the people near to her shop were happy to have her do all of their repairs, upkeep...
PREFACE: This is a story told to me by a fellow 'lipstick lesbian'. It's been a few years since I've seen her but I hope my memory of her account is accurate enough. ********************************** "Why don't you come in and let me make dinner for us," Samantha said as we arrived back at her place from the airport. I couldn't put my finger on why the...
It had been ages since the last time I gone out. I was never one to go places that include alcohol, loud music and sweaty bodies. Work, the online games, those were my life. Friends knew it would be difficult to get me to leave the house. No one could blame me really. You get with a small town and people you want to see but dare not seek them out. Tonight w...
The wild strike at the airport has ruined the day for many people, and my return trip home has now been postponed until tomorrow. Thanks to Google, I was able to find a hotel that fits the budget of a junior forensic accountant. The hotel is a time capsule that was first opened during the 'Roaring Twenties' when the hip Charleston in the 'speak-easies' ke...
