And here it is, the sequel to Teacher's Pet Chapter 1, the further adventures of Ron and Cindy. Thanks to CB for helping to inspire this story and remember to vote and send me feedback. * The week after Thanksgiving was a busy one for most college students and faculty. For Cindy Williams, it was insane. Not only did she have two classes of Introductory Psy...
Chapter One - Catamites and Rent Boys The big dark car cruised slowly along the street; the windows were dark, the grille and bumper bars were all chrome; the large headlights sitting atop of the gleaming front wheel panels glowed an ominous dull yellow. Charlotte leaned against the rough brickwork in the dark railway underpass hoping the car would pass by...
Michael sat on the couch; Tera and Valerie still slept within each other's arms. The morning had found him feeling better, there was still the nagging feeling of his energy being drained but was much more tolerable now. Having Valerie and Tera close seemed to help balance the feelings he had been experiencing since arriving in Nogardshire the day before....
It is 11:39 PM on a Friday night after a totally blasé day and I still don't have a girlfriend. As a matter of fact, I look around and all my friends are either ghosts or characters out of paranormal romance novels. In other words, I have no human friends. This is not new. I have been alone for a long time. As a Muscogee shaman, people tend to want to keep t...
A million drops of water will hollow a stone Three months passed, and a patient repetition of daily chores created a new normality for Lucian Gaines -- even in a world as weird as Norton's Academy of Excellence. Since he started classes, things sped up. Life became more palpable, more real -- though increasingly bizarre. He was at a school after all, a...
(Kathleen Connelly addresses the group) I was almost late for the meeting but luckily, I got there just in time for the opening address. The woman at the front of the hall had just called the meeting to order. "First of all, before we begin our meeting, is there anyone that is here for their very first time?" I had always been quite shy but I had to speak...
I see her as soon as I step off the jetway. She's standing apart from the rest in the arrivals hall. She's even more beautiful in real life. Short elegantly trimmed blond hair. Subtle makeup. Full length white fur coat, and black stiletto heeled boots. She must have been heart breakingly beautiful when she was younger. She embraces me. I think she's going t...
Prologue Hindu Kush 04:06. I whispered into the mike: "Sierra Five Zulu, this is Four Delta Quebec. Do you have visual on targets? Over." A little further down the valley, George, my opposite number in 2nd platoon, pressed his transmit button twice in rapid succession. The clicks in my ear confirmed that he had indeed seen the Taliban commanders we were...
Author's Note: This has long been one of my favorite songs; it has such an elemental rhythm that you can feel the song. There has been a lot of speculation over the years about "what does it mean?" but little agreement. This story is what I feel as I hear the song. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote "Paint It Black" with the assistance of other members...
MK is getting ready for their double date. She's naturally a little nervous to meet new people, being an introvert. Tonight will be special: It's her mate's best friend/boss and his wife. She's sure she'll like them. Damian had sounded nice enough on the phone for the three seconds she'd heard him speak and, more importantly, she trusts Holly's judgment when...
