It was New Year's Eve and I was really enjoying myself. In my entire life, I had made two solid friends and they were standing in the room with me. We were in Tom's basement shooting pool and drinking beer while our wives chatted upstairs. I had moved back to Allentown a year ago, after living and working in Philly for fifteen years. Ray had gone to Stanfor...
It was a warm Saturday about a month after my divorce. I sat at the bar nursing a beer and watching the college football game on the TV. While I wasn't really looking to actively socialize, I had come across the lake just to be in a place where there were other people. I pondered how I had gotten to this point. I wasn't exactly broken up about the divorce,...
Before I recount this story I need to give you a little background information. I am Jim Samuels. I'm a widower and had botched the job of bringing up a very smart and independent minded daughter, Jody. Things were mostly o.k. until about her sophomore year in high school. She developed the attitude that I was incredibly old fashioned and not overly bright....
Things took a turn in the summer before her senior year, Tracey's parents moved from Florida. Her father had once again caught her mother in a car banging some stranger. It was something that happened more than once and rather than dealing with the problem, they moved away. The grandparents had a greenhouse business in Indiana. Her younger sisters and brothe...
So much of what happens in our early years determines the sexual beings we become later. A person could go a lot of different directions with that. But what's gnawing at me right now, wanting to get out, are some of my earliest experiences as a young man—or maybe, as a boy in man's clothing (or out of it), when I left home and was on my own for the first tim...
"Look at it! It's so beautiful!" Belinda cried excitedly as she gazed out the train window at the verdant countryside passing by. "It's just farmland," Amber said scornfully. "Full of animals and peasants." "I love animals," Belinda said defensively. "Look at the horses!" "Oh be quiet, you sound like a l...
Donna, Amanda and I have been good friends since we were kids in grade school. We grew next door to each other, Donna on one side and Amanda on the other, and played together after school through our whole grade school years. I caught a lot of flak from some of my other friends, teasing that I was going to get girl cooties if I hung around them, but that did...
I was hesitant to go at first. A five year reunion? It seems I've already seen everybody around town in the year after college. I still hang out with the same people I did in high school since all of us have moved back home, and those who didn't move back are only living a public transit ride away. I know what everyone is doing. On facebook, I'm friends wit...
AN UNEARTHLY ASS Part 1 It was a cool November evening, as Cliff Stone sat in his class at the end of the school day, doing his marking. As a science teacher in Fail Hill School, he knew that his pupils considered him a bit of a "fuddy-duddy", not "with it" at all. Nonetheless, he kept himself in shape to the point where his muscular frame drew female atte...
Chapter I: Aimless Wander Author's note: For those of you that may have seen a similar story before, this is a remake of an older story from my previous account, that I wanted to improve. In most places, they imagine the hell as some hot, burning cesspit of torture and sorrow. Hundreds of thousands of souls funneled down into a lake of fire, overwhelmed...
