「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...
©2003, k.x. Halfway to the alien habitat, Govinda contacted the spacesuit through the interface net in his cybskin. He thought a series of commands: reverse thrust, line us up for a matching orbit, make sure to bring us in aft of the hab, scan for threats. The suit's non-sentient brain made a course calculation in two picoseconds, then swung the stalks of i...
She was there, after the typhoon, tugging the sad, yellowed plants upright. A brush jabbing at the muddy tiles, an aimless hose splattering. He clattered the mug on the glass table to avoid alarming her, but she had already seen him. "Quite the storm for December, huh?" he said. Tala feigned surprise, twelve feet over and a hundred and fifty up, aware th...
Author's Note: For years I've tried—in every possible way that I can think of—to persuade my wife to cuckold me... preferably with a black lover. But she insists (and I've come to accept) that it's just never gonna happen. Not in real life. But! My wife does like when I tell her a story about her being with a dominant black bull (if by "like" one means "r...
Melanie sighed as she hung her towel over the rack to her left. She knew she should be in a good mood, having just completed an early morning run around the manor grounds, but she was annoyed. It had been over a week since Paige had worked out with her, the blonde always finding some excuse. Getting her to agree to work out in the first place had been diffi...
The following was an actual conversation I had with a former girlfriend. The names have been changed for obvious reasons. 11-17-2008 ANDREW: 2:05 Just an afternoon reminder that I love you... 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...
