The curtain had fallen. The cast had taken their final bows and once they were cloaked in darkness the budding young soprano, Clara Josepha Cavalier, tore from the stage with her heels striking loudly on the wooden boards while she held up the voluminous skirts of her lavender dress. She pushed past the chorus, stage technicians, and wardrobe to her private...
Like it? Hate it? Please leave a comment! * "Hey Bran." I looked up from my studies just in time to get hit in the face with Suzu, Amy's teddy bear. I blinked in shock as she screamed, "Bear attack!" "Jerk!" I squealed, and threw it back at her. She caught it cleanly and grinned wickedly, rearing back to throw it again. I scrambled to sit and get my han...
"I mean it was perfect you know? Just great like everyone agreed!" whined Stephany curled up on the lap of her PE teacher. "Really was it now?" asked miss Schwarz growing more, and more disgusted with herself. She was jealous, and it was bad. She wanted Stephannie's relationships to fail sure, but she had loved her so much, and she was so happy when she wa...
By the time Gail hit the End button on her cell she felt better. Jan had explained how enduring a brief bit of humiliation could create a long term upside. All she had to do was think of it as acting. With no appetite, Gail ordered a double Bombay Martini for some liquid courage. By the time she got to the bottom of the glass it was already one o'clock. Late...
Call me Ayaan, if you would, please. I see a lot of Muslims shortening or simplifying their names to please Westerners, and I shake my head at such a trend. If your name is Mohammed, don’t let some punk with a last name like Williamson or O’Connell call you Mo, either at work or at home or anywhere else. Make them respect enough to say your name properly. Cu...
Ever since Sarah and I have known each other, I have loved the way she looks. She's shorter than my 5"10, with larger breasts and red hair. Even though I thought she looked great, I would never had considered letting anything happen between us. I was in love with my boyfriend Mark and was faithful to him. Then while Mark was in the Basic Training Sarah and...
Author's Note A little something different for your holidays. I'm in my fairy tale remix mood again and this time it's turned out as a 24-hour slice of life story as well. You may remember the story of Hansel and Gretel from your childhood. This story takes place after they've grown up, and changes the setting from the forest to the inner city. I've pulled...
"Listen up, Todd, my name is Naima, if you can pronounce Wasilewska, or O'Rourke, you can definitely say my name right!" I said sharply to my manager, Todd Jenkins, and the portly, red-haired white dude stood there, gawking. And he wasn't the only one either. Everyone inside the Loblaw's Supermarket seemed to be staring at me, and for once, I didn't give a d...
Becca and I are sitting around talking, when Ashley walks in. "What are you two talking about," she asks, a fake gleam of jealousy in her eyes. I laugh and pull her into my lap. "Well, babe, I was just asking Becca how you two met. I mean, all this time and I've never heard the story." Ashley looked at Becca, both of them blushing slightly. "What makes yo...
I wrote this on your birthday.... ************** ******************** I startled awake at dawn. I could feel my whole body tingling and I wondered why. I stretched out my hand towards the bed-side table and grab the alarm clock. I noticed that it's just a few minutes past six. Normally, you would have been out on your early morning r...
