Slipping away un-noticed, I stepped quietly along the corridor and tapped on the Black Room door. It was now just before 2 am. Linda's voice sounded familiar, but lacked her usual air of confidence as she invited me in. When I walked through the door, Linda was standing against the opposite wall with her hands behind her waist. She looked tense. She had cha...
The place is not what I expected. The atmosphere is bright, glitzy, with an overall techno feel that seems almost cold. I had expected something warmer, more ... nurturing, feminine, I guess, from a place that caters exclusively to women. I wonder if this appeals to the butch types, and then laugh at myself for indulging in stereotypes. What do I know, anywa...
While out shopping Lee Ann tried on a loose top in a changing room. The one she was wearing was too tight, after having her nipple's pierced. The idea was to de-sensitize them, and she really hoped it would work. The woman in a magazine article had found it a great relief, after years of discomfort. Hoping it would help her too, she made the daunting visit...
Celeste woke without an irritating alarm clock each and every day. She threw the heavy down filled comforter and sheer velveteen sheets back off her frame as she stretched her long arms and legs way out on the surface of her heated waterbed. She groaned and moaned softly as she felt her body loosen in that awakening gesture. Celeste wiped the sleep out of he...
14. Phoebe was still there in my arms when morning came. Not that morning was much to speak of; it was grey and cold, rain drumming on the roof of her little flat, staying-in-bed weather. I felt her wake, and as she snuggled back against my chest I murmured "So, what do you have on today, love?" She yawned and stretched, then giggled as I reached around a...
"Hi Le, how are you this morning?" Though a little jealous, Paulette was always uplifted by the younger woman's constant cheerfulness. Practically bouncing in her seat, Le replied, "I'm fine thank you. I had orange juice this morning at the café by the canal watching the sun rise. How is your day going?" Paulette had started subtly flirting with Le. "You l...
Preface This is part one of four. It takes a while to get through all four. Your indulgence appreciated in advance. There's a prologue (chapter 00) but you won't be missing out too much if you skipped that. FIVE YEARS AND FOUR DAYS -- DAY ONE --Prelude to Day One-- ALEX I volunteered for the UK project as soon I heard about it. Mona, my boss, was happy...
Chapter Four: Red Tulips Apologies for the long delay since my last update. It's been a tough year, and I got stalled for quite a while, but after a couple of false starts here I am again. As I post this, Chapter 5 is with my beta readers and I'm starting on Chapter 6. "Hey Anjali!" "Hello Sarah, how are you?" "Oh, not too bad... look, my boss has asked...
All Characters Are Over 18 Years old! This is a fantasy story all the gods and goddesses were once revered. Hawaiian mythology is quite fun to research. It was all handed down orally thus there are different accounts of almost everything. As an example Hi'iaka is Pele's youngest sister. In one telling she is youngest of 20, in another youngest of 12 and anot...
Jane Niles stepped into the Dealer Room and looked around. She was amazed at the activity going on. Everywhere she looked, there were people buying and selling a wide range of merchandise, from 8x10's to videos to toys to fan magazines to jewelry. She couldn't believe her show, "Project: Wormhole", had generated so much interest. The crowd was varied as wel...
