Something was wrong. Lily lay still, keeping her eyes closed. "Something is very wrong here." The bed felt normal. It wasn't too warm or cool in the room. It was still dark. Suddenly it dawned on her. Silence! Normally she would be able to hear traffic down below on the streets, the not-unwelcome sound of other human beings. The sounds of the city. Now t...
It was a warm day, so even though I wanted to dress up a bit for the interview, I still dressed with the temperature in mind. I wore a lift and separate type of bra under a white blouse - high necked with lots of ruffles on it, a cute little black tie and long sleeves. The sleeves were only a little puffy. I also wore a severe little open blue jacket that in...

THOMAS DEAN IMPRINT Part 4 Hot and Cold I jumped when heard the screeching sound of the nurse slipping on rubber gloves. I took a deep breath the ordeal was about to begin: the assumption of power over the person and the loss of personal autonomy.

Author's Note: This is the second part of a triptych, and follows from my previous story 'Questioning.' While it's not absolutely necessary to read that one first, it certainly couldn't hurt. ... It was so cliched it was almost funny. Or rather, it would have been funny if it wasn't the single most mortifying thing that had ever happened to her. Despite w...
Lily shoved the door to the Port and Pint open, smirking as it slammed against the wall. She glanced back to make sure she hadn't broken the door. She had not; too bad, the damn thing was in her way after all and with the mood she was in, anything standing in her way had better watch out! The bar's few patrons turned to check out the noise, but Lily merely g...
The revelation came forth after a night of vodka. Recently my college roommate and I talked about what it would be like to kiss a girl. She finally convinced me that the best person to experiment with was my best friend. Which just so happened to be her. However -- I never told her that I needed convincing. My name is Annie. I am quiet, short, thin, with b...
Up until her final year at uni, Edith had given everyone the impression her emotional system had been cryogenically frozen. She'd never even once been on a date or shown the slightest indication of being drawn toward a fellow human being. Not sexually drawn, anyway. The idea of her ever having a "love problem" was, quite frankly, absurd. But, early into her...
With Which, With What and to Whom? "This sucks." "You're damn right it does, I'm horny as hell, but I'm not going to have sex with you no matter what anybody says." "You keep away from me you Dyke bitch, and put my handbag down." "I don't want any part of your handbag you old fag. I was told that there were some hot, bi women here in this gay bar. Instea...
Susie Brock knew that part of her would always be sad that she couldn't work it out with Governor Bruce Calahan. She also knew that the Governor was right about them needing some time apart, after being lovers for the whole semester. She had missed him that summer, as she worked in the area, to ensure that she already had a job when the other students came i...
