「ザキさん、こんなクソ寒い夜中になんの用ですか」 空気も凍るような寒さの夜、理由も告げずに俺を稽古場へ呼び出した小劇団の先輩、崎山に不満を隠さず声を掛けた。そこは、稽古場というより廃倉庫といったほうがしっくりくるボロ屋で、風が吹かないだけ外よりマシという状況だった。貧乏劇団ゆえ暖房器具など置いてすらない。 「おう、すまねぇな、森田。ちょっと見せたいもんがあってな」 「金貸してくれってのは無しですよ」 「そんなんじゃねぇよ。芝居の話だ、芝居の」 崎山はもう四十も半ば、芽の出ない役者だ。売れない理由は、今時となっては珍しい「飲む」「打つ」「買う」と三拍子を見事に揃えた素行の悪さが、業界中に知れ渡っているせいだった。どこぞの脚本家の奥さんに横恋慕して旦那に殺されかけただの、賭場で負けて裸で電車に乗って留置所に入れられ...

ERIN: 2:07 I love you to, Babe! Kissez ANDREW: 2:09 You know, "kisses" sounds amost like "caresses", that's why they go together so well ANDREW: 2:10 BSWK (Big Sl...
2:47 pm - Baby, I'm so horny right now I can barely stand it... 3:05 pm - Are you? This sounds fun. 3:06 pm - Don't make it worse! I can't wait for tonight if you tease me. It's already unbearable. 3:08 pm - Didn't say I was gonna make it worse... at least without making sure it was fixed in the end. 3:08 pm - As I said! I'm miserable already. 3:17 pm...
For much of this year, I was trading some rather interesting IMs with a friend halfway around the world. Because of the time difference, we are rarely ever on IM at the same time, so most of our interactions end up being via offline messages (i.e., when I am offline, she sends an IM to me which I then see when I sign on later, and vice versa). These have bec...
A rough shaking awoke #4 from her reveries. The Headmistress was back. Gone was the softness and passion of the night before. Here was the Woman In Charge, hair pulled severely back, make-up sharply defining her pronounced bone structure, immaculately tailored suit screaming power. "Time to send you on your way," she said curtly stripping away the covers. S...
This takes place during the John Byrne era, right after Fantastic Four issue 238. The Fantasti-Car dropped down into the roof of the Baxter Building. The members of the Fantastic Four, along with trainee Frankie Raye, were returning from meeting Ben Grimm's Aunt Petunia in Arizona, and were in a mood to enjoy a bit of piece and quiet. When the craft finall...
She made it to the plane just as they announced the final boarding call. Stephanie still could not believe she was doing this. After six months of conversing back and forth with a man she had met online, she was finally going to meet him. They had met on an erotic website. The attraction was instant and she quickly became helplessly infatuated with him. And...

Manticore was destroyed and Ames White has been sent...
This story, as the name suggests, is about codes and variations of codes. It has nothing to do with Elgar and his music. I thought of including the translations of the coded messages within the body of the story, but decided that this would take away the fun of solving them, so for those code breakers among you, enjoy. * It had been a rough trip, the guy...
Two house slaves led her into the chamber. She was dressed - more like decorated - with shining gold cuffs on wrists and ankles. Two moderately heavy and equally bright chains linked wrists and ankles. Her hair was perfectly coiffed high on her head to show she was collarless. Earning a collar was partly the point of the auction, after all. Her make up was f...
