"Today's military rejects include tomorrow's hard-core unemployed." John F. Kennedy * Alex was still adjusting to her new surroundings. She did not like the inner workings of the ship. Nor did she like the fact that she was placed in Deck Department. Deck was one of the worst places to be on the ship. She worked long hard days that wore her down. All she h...
"So how many guys have you fucked?" Dee asked Connie. I was a little surprised at the question, but not very much. When teenage girls get together they are bound to talk about boys. And when the girls are the three of us, it's likely to get personal. Dee, Connie, and myself (Allison) were at Dee's house. We were making use of her swimming pool and our new...
After an hour of looking up at the wall I decided to get up and do something. What that something was...I didn't know. I checked my phone and sighed. No messages or texts. Well, at least not any from the one person I wanted them from. I rubbed my temples. How had my life gotten so sad? I hated that I had even wanted to check so soon. She said she would c...
The first day back to school after summer vacation is always filled with a bit of anxiety, infused with both tentativeness and excitement. The beginning of my senior year was no different. I arrived at school and spent some time catching up with people I'd not seen since the end of May, saying hi to friends, and scoping out the handful of new students we inv...
The next morning Riley woke up just before the alarm went off. She could hear her mom in the bathroom getting ready for work. Feeling the urgent call of nature, Riley got up and went to the bathroom. She knocked lightly on the closed door. "Mom. I need to go. Can I come in?" asked Riley. "Sure thing," said Heather. Heather was in her panties and nothing e...
Jill arrived at work dressed in her gym clothes, excited to get to work. She hoped work would take her mind off everything that happened last night and this morning. When she entered the restaurant she saw her boss, Ed, sitting in the back booth with a beautiful young woman. Ed caught her eye and waved her over to the table. "Jill, I'd like you to meet Ivy...
I was sitting quietly in the principal's office, waiting for Ms. Victoria to come in after speaking with Ms. Horne, the school's science teacher. Beside me was Brianna. We never got along, mostly because Brianna was so obnoxious, and being placed as lab partners only fanned the flames. Brianna had just moved here from Detroit. I don't know much about her,...
"Hey, what if microbiology was the study of baby animals?" "What?" "Wouldn't that be amazing?" It was one of dozens of times that evening that my mind had wandered off the task at hand - studying for my comprehensive midterm in microbiology. I was certainly amusing myself but I was starting to concern you with my inability to focus. We sat on my bed toget...
After 3 sleep-deprived months it was finally Kelly's first night out since she had the baby. John, her husband, had been deployed to Korea shortly before Tommy was born, so he had been unable to help, but they skyped every weekend and he adored them both. Kelly's life revolved around her little man. She wanted to be the perfect mom, and had no regrets, but s...
The club night was going well, and had been very much worth the effort required to get dressed up for it. Emma adjusted her collar slightly, the soft blue glow giving her light complexion an almost ethereal quality. Tonight had been about trying something a bit different, and the new Cyberpunk HoloHall in town had seemed ideal. Full five dimensional displays...
