I marched the three men into the station. The fat desk sergeant looked up and yelled, "Wait a minute! Just what the hell is going on here! Carl, are you okay?" Before Carl could answer I said, "Sergeant, I want this man arrested for attempted murder. Also, he's to be charged with conspiracy to commit murder since he was trying to convince his friend...
The ball was made of clear crystal and was a perfect sphere, some nine inches in diameter, its surface reflecting the faces of the four women who sat huddled around it. Two of the women were blondes, their hair dangling in sun-bleached tresses down their backs, their blue eyes twinkling as they peered excitedly at the glass ball. Their companion, a sleek bru...
I’ve been looking for this place for most of my life. Well, at least half of it. I started thinking about it when I turned twenty-five, you start to wonder at that quarter-century mark just what the hell you’ll be doing when you get old, when you retire. I mean you want to be where you want to be, and I wanna die happy. I’ve been lucky, I’ll turn fifty-two...
A humorous revenge story The BTB story haters published a lot of satire about BTB or Consequence stories. So it is the time for a humorous BTB story to equalize a little.

After sixteen years of marriage, as both were approaching their forties, he was still in love with Laura. Her brown hair, her blue eyes, not to mention her generous cur...
I tapped on the window to thank the Instacart delivery girl who had just dropped my groceries at the front door. She said something I couldn't hear, gesticulating towards one of the bags. I put on my black cloth mask and opened the door. "I'll need to see your ID because of the champagne." Caitlin had dark spiky hair and a southern accent and was wearing a...

Wesley whistled sharply to his dogs after checking the cows recently brought down from the high winter pasture. "'ere dogs! C'mon!" The little Corgi dogs raced across the field and dodged between his mount's legs. The horse nickered a bit in irritation and danced backward, snorting as the dogs ran across the main yard toward the barn where they'd get their s...
Now, what did I like best about being an old maid? If you cut away the drudgery from this trite term and the women that people usually picture when they say "old maid", then you get a picture of me.
