A small engineering factory, April the first, just after half past one in the morning. Three men are just sitting down, taking a half hour mid shift break. Two are old friends and have worked together for twenty years, the other in his first year of employment. "Every time I've looked at you for the last couple of hours, you're either looking at the clock o...
Jacques Binoche lived on the banks of the mighty St. Lawrence River that runs between Canada and the United States. It was the area dotted with a thousand islands, some just big enough to support a cottage and some large enough for a country estate. His passion was boating and almost every weekend he'd be out of the river, navigating his craft through the m...
It’s been a long day full of accidents and assholes. You drag yourself through the front door to find the apartment in darkness. You reach for the light switch and nothing happens. “Of fucking course,” you mutter as you stumble your way through the hallway. A faint glow catches your eye. You turn the corner to find a candle flickering happily, its sister d...
I'd like to make a couple of things clear. I'm not a voyeur and neither do I go around taking advantage of young women. The whole thing came about by accident. I like cameras, and I have a few of them. I also have a nice set of lenses. I own a unit in a block of small stand-a-lone units, we have a friendly body corporate team and things go smoothly. Now I...
I've gotten many great responses to my stories so far and am really enjoying them. This story is also true, but it took place several years ago, before I met Kelly. She's described it to me several times, and I write it based on that description (so parts of it will be "dramatized". However, I don't want to embellish it much, so it's not too long - and don't...
Thankfully, it was the final appointment. The multiple trips each week from the suburbs to the downtown hospital were taxing. Besides the up-and-down weather of winter and the traffic, it required a three hour section of his schedule set aside for therapy. Thankfully, they were finally going to discharge his son from the twice-a-week commitment. There was o...
Amanda was a nice, normal girl with no annoying habits or quirks. And this was good, because she was going to be my room-mate at university for at least the next year. It was a relief to find we got on with each other, and in fact we had several things in common, such as bands we liked, TV programmes we loved and hated, favourite clothes shops and the like....
It was hot. It was my birthday. Sara told me where to meet. Was this really going to be as good as she had suggested? Only time would tell. When I saw her sitting on the bench at High Park...Sara looked better than I had ever seen her before...and she was stunning from the first day I had seen her a few years back. We had teased and flirted and played a l...
Several editors have worked on this story which was sitting in my file, but Demirath did the last and most extensive work. This is a long story broken into four short parts. The first and second parts could stand alone but they just felt so incomplete even for me. I apologize to all who were offended by my last story. Sometimes, I just go very dark. There i...
This happened to me about 2 years ago when I was 22, the summer before my last year at college (yes, I was on the 5 year program). I'd decided to spend the summer in town rather than go back home so I could hang out at the beach on the days off and party on the weekends. Though I'd moved out of the Fraternity a couple of years ago, the rent in the summer was...
