Going home is always hard for me. This time, it was Friday evening, and I was driving into the town I grew up in for my dad's birthday dinner on Saturday. It was his 60th. He wanted "the whole family" here this year- me, my mom, my brother, his wife, and their toddler. This was oil on troubled waters; he and I had always had a rocky relationship when I was a...
Warm silky sheets enveloped her. She felt so comfortable, so cuddly in the warmth. Suddenly she began to feel trapped in the endless silk. These sheets were warm and the air that did come through was humid. Jackie felt the weight of these sheets begin to choke her. She was fighting against the tangled, humid trap. The blankets got wetter and hotter. The weig...
** June 13th ** Bette surprised me a little with her announcement Thursday. "People in my line of work normally take the month of August off." I knew this. "I'm going on vacation with some... friends." She broke eye contact when she said that; very un-Bette like. "I'll be gone from July 15th to August 16th. I'm telling everyone this week. I would be pretty...
I'd be lying to you if I said that the thought of getting into bed with my new roommate Georgia, hadn't crossed my mind once or twice since she moved in. I seemed to have a new roommate every month, but that's how it goes when you live in Los Angeles. People are always coming here to make it big. This city eats a lot of them up quickly and their gone before...

You wouldn't think that buying a silly ole ankle bracelet in big old Chi-town would be a problem. Well, here's what we found. A lot of stores in the neighborhood aren't open on Sundays. Fine jewelry stores didn't carry them. There was a place that wanted $74 dollars for something that neither of us liked. I did see a store we'd go back to when this adventure...

We pulled into my home in Fort Smith about 11 pm. I live in a manufactured home on an acre I bought from a farmer right on Old Union Town Rd in Rena, north of Fort Smith. It's got a nice, long circular gravel driveway in front - I'm damned if I'm gonna be backin' up when I bring a semi to my house. Now, in case you're thinkin' it's some old rattletrap mobil...
Things don't always get easier. * Author's Note I've gotten myself back into the slice of life story mode again. No major backstory, no definite closure, just a glimpse into the lives of a couple characters as they move along toward their destinies. Though this one takes place over a longer time span than my other slice of life stories. And there's a road...
This is an NSFW story. If you are under 18, go away. I started this as an outline for an author I was editing stories. When they rejected the idea for themselves to write, I decided to see where it would take me. ***** "Do you want that?" she asked, clearly surprised. "No, I don't. I mean, this is as far as I know I can go. But..." she stopped me again,...
