This is a true story. It happened to me recently. The following is the typed conversation that took place between myself and a scammer, who for the want of a better name I will call Adriana. As this story unfolds I will place my thoughts in brackets to separate them from the actual conversation. I am posting this as an example of what is happening, the signs...
I work for Aardvark Industries. We're the big company out in the industrial park on the edge of town. We employ over 11,000 people. A lot of people in town have a place to live and food to eat because of AI. We run a pretty clean operation. If we find someone who lied on their resume, out they go! If we find someone trying to pull a fast one on a customer,...
Over the years, Randi had discovered that his wife, Allison, could be fairly wild when he was not around. He had often heard snippets about times when she was "out with the girls." The girls in this case were women who taught at the same school where Allison worked. It was never very incriminating, just enough to make Randi wonder what he wasn't hearing. Th...
Ava rummaged through her closet frantically in search of something to wear. Letting out a hopeless sigh, she turned to the fresh dry cleaning. With a smile of satisfaction she removed the pink leather skirt. “Great”, she said aloud. Tonight she had to look gorgeous, after eight long years she was finally seeing her girlhood crush again. Ava frowned as she th...
Then there was the Sunday before Labor Day weekend. Buck had told Suzanne that they were going for a drive. She looked at him quizzically but didn’t say anything. While she was in the shower Buck had gone into his office and gotten a rifle with a big scope on it, his 357 magnum and took the little 22 automatic out of the dresser drawer and put them in the tr...
"Hello, I'm ...." "Helen Hamilton!" I exclaimed. When my doorbell rang, I had idly wondered who it could be. I never guessed it would be one of the few women I fantasize about on a regular basis. I was stunned to see Helen Hamilton standing on my doorstep. "So you know who I am," she smiled. "I'm moving in next door and wanted to introduce myself." "Real...
Since getting married, Thanksgiving has always been a paradox for me. My wife's family, consisting of her sister and dad, meet at her sister's place in Las Vegas, which is a pretty nice place to be when the alternative is staying home in the snow and ice of the Midwest. However, it means I have to fly to get there every year, which doesn't bode well with my...
This is a continuation of a story submitted by Whiteone Redone called Suspicion and done with his permission. I liked the story but felt that it left too much unresolved. I usually try to finish my stories with some degree of justice and that's what I tried to do here. This is my ending and not his so any negative comments should be directed to me. The day...
"Master, Eupas has returned," Prima informed the Ambassador, who had just finished shaving himself. "Let him in," Kalitz instructed her. Eupas entered his boss's office, apparently satisfied from a few encounters with youths. He also looked pleased for another reason. Abel instantly sensed that the meeting with the Vorindun Consul must have gone well. How...
This last couple of weeks has been total bull shit. My relationship with my wife has been getting bad like an infection. Reflecting back, it seems to have changed big time when she started dieting in April of this year. Actually, she would just skip meals. She has always hated exercise. So I guess she figured to just not eat. She has a strong will and I love...
