I've been waiting to get this job. Two months now. Two interviews, waiting on a third. I'm starting to have a bad feeling. I think dating has prepared me for this - I know when they don't want me, I can feel it when they become vacated of interest. It's palpable. Like when I said to Erica that I would never want kids, that I hated kids, that having kids woul...
Prologue A thousand years ago the Galactic Empire ruled over the whole Milky Way Galaxy. Its citizens enjoyed the highest standard of living and everyone was treated fairly and with respect. Then came the Terrins, a terrible war loving race, whose own lack of foresight lead to the destruction of their own home. They had journeyed for hundreds of years to fi...
He stood at the produce section of the grocery store looking at the pumpkins. He thought he found the perfect one. It was big and round and had a flat sturdy bottom. He rubbed his hand across its hard orange flesh and smiled. He grabbed it like a small child grabbing a present from under the tree at Christmas. Sean placed his pumpkin in the cart and headed...
There are a lot of things about this site that I'll never understand, but I have found that most of them center on the readers... For instance, there seem to be a lot of readers that go around reading stories that they know they won't like and then leaving degrading remarks on the stories. They're too cowardly to leave a name, but for some reason they thin...
Jennifer had had a rough day. The children had cried all morning, taking turns it seemed so that she did not have a single moment of peace and quiet. The washing machine had overflowed, soaking the kitchen floor and ruining a couple of bags of flour, sugar and rice that were stored at the bottom of the cupboard. The package that she had been awaiting for day...
After reading some works by anti-porn protestors, I thought they should have some erotica tailored specifically for them. This story has therefore been written to reflect what we all know is really going on when a man and a woman negotiate the boundaries of patriarchal discourse (i.e. have sex). Chuck had had a hard day maintaining the institutionalised opp...
Comments and votes are greatly appreciated, even the negative. I ask that if you suggest any improvement, please be constructive about it and not rude. ***** Dear diary, today I want to discuss my boyfriend. I wish people would stop questioning our relationship. Everyone wants to get involved and stick their two cents in. I just don't understand it. I know...
In this age of technology, they met in the old fashioned way, via newspaper personal ad. He had been, unsuccessfully, dating friends of family and friends of friends. Ever since his divorce, he had seemed too desperate, too needy, too whatever excuse they wanted to offer. He was just trying to show his true self, no holds barred, him, raw. As a last ditch ef...
You don't need to be handsome or ugly to find your soul, just be confident and you will find you goal, if Jane was horrid to you no matter, invariably it was caused by a lot of abusive chatter. Misunderstandings; they happen all the time, and I guess without them life would become bloody sublime It s like soaps on TV, the sometimes pre-supposed drama and pr...
This is a re-post of a 2009 story that has been re-edited and lengthened. There is no sex in this story. Linda and I had been married for twenty-three years. We raised two daughters and I thought that we had a good marriage, but what did I know. I tried everything I could to be a good husband. I was attentive. I was not rude or overbearing. I didn't ignor...
