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...
A couple of weeks ago, on a grey, overcast Monday, I was running some errands on my lunch hour. I hadn't had time for breakfast that morning, and was absolutely ravenous. I decided to stop off at this funky little cafe in Fremont, a new place called Antonia's Soups, which had just been voted Seattle's best soup and sandwich joint by readers of The Stranger....
Author's Note: These short fantasies started off as weekly mini-stories for my readers, but the newsletter was shut down because autoresponders do not accept adult content. I thus decided to publish these fantasies for free for my readers to enjoy. It is meant to entertain, so please do not leave hateful comments if everything is not perfect. I am only human...
Here is another story I have written. I'm working on more but I would really like to hear what you all think of this one. Thanks for the replies from the last story. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mary walks up to the front door of her last customer. The wind buffets her and she shivers in the cold night air. With one hand balancing the pizza, she reaches up...
I was over at my best friend's house the night after Halloween. Both being broke, we decided to have a late party, just the two of us. Vanessa was sitting on her couch, watching some drab comedy on the television while I mixed us up another round of pineapple juice and vodkas, our fourth round already. "So, where's Paul at tonight?" I called to her from th...
"I still can't believe he stood me up," I exclaimed to my best friend Alisha. "He is the one who asked me out, then never met me at the theatre!" "You never know, maybe he couldn't make it, Jen. And since you don't have a cell phone, he couldn't call you to let you know." "Yeah, yeah, yeah. It still sucks. So, want to come over and keep me company? My pare...
The argument started in the club and ended at the front door of our apartment with a loud slam. I wasn't wrong and you weren't right but no one could tell us anything. So I slept on the couch and you took our bed. Less than an hour after we went to "bed", I couldn't lie there any longer and shuffled to the bedroom door quietly. I pressed my ear to the door...
I was going cruising down a country road. I was upset and just wanting to clear my head. James and I had just moved and I didn't know the area. I must have been going to fast, because I started to loose control. I ran off the road and into a field. I think I hit a tree but I was knocked out. When I came to, I didn't know where I was or why I hurt. As I laid...
My best friend's name is Danielle. Danielle A. Mitchell. And I am in love with her. I think she is the sweetest and most beautiful person to have ever walked the face of the earth. I tell her that all the time but she's never believed me. She's gorgeous though. Sometimes I can't help but just stare at her. She's shorter than me, about 5'2'', and has the swe...
I almost never go to Starbucks. I actually hate coffee, all coffee. I don't even like the gritty, dark smell of it. Generally, I think Starbucks is a plague. Their muffins, however, are fine if you're starving, which, on that day, I was, and you don't have any other options, which I didn't. That's why I was standing in a place I never go, waiting to pay fo...
