"What are you and don't say you're me!" Ella thundered at her doppelgänger. The other elf shrugged. "But, I am you. It sounds crazy but it's true." "If you're not my twin sister, are you a shifter?" Ella resigned herself to the fact she'd lost her marbles. Robyn put all her effort into freeing herself from her bonds though it proved fruitless. "Grr! El...
It was Nia’s first day at the library. She was replacing the last girl, who disappeared under suspicious circumstances. She was organizing fantasy books when this whole predicament started. She had her Walkman playing Justin Timberlake. She hummed to the music, stopping suddenly when she came across a red leather covered book. ‘This doesn’t belong in the st...
"Come out, come out, wherever you are..." the boy said, wondering where the girl had gone. He'd met her the day before at the convention and was, like most of the other male attendees, smitten immediately by her. He caught a glimpse of some movement behind one of the trees and sprinted in that direction, tearing around the corner and almost tripping over her...
I was in quite the bad mood lately. A failed marriage, a nasty divorce, and my boyfriend just left me wondering what the hell happened. I'd just gotten out of the Navy a few months ago, attempting to live up the civilian life, but finding it not all I thought it was cracked up to be. I missed the wild and crazy parties, the travel, the guaranteed paycheck, b...

Reader edited - the faults are mine. ***** (11:00 p.m. Thursday Night) Rhada stood by the Lily Pond. She'd looked at her phone once. A couple had walked past, causing me to delay my approach and heightened R...
This is the first story in what I hope will eventually be a larger collection. Or maybe it will be the only one, considering how long it took to complete. I have a bit of a hangup regarding posting a story that's not finished; far too many of my favorite serials have been abandoned and left as monuments to premature expostulation...and so if you're reading t...
XXXVIII "That's it" When I had finished eating I sat back and stared blankly in front of me. I wanted to shut my eyes but every time I tried it I saw that awful look on Nina's face as she realised she was about to be raped -- no, that last clause is a cowardly evasion, scratch it. I should have written as she realised I was about to rape her. Wendy was th...
Let me tell you about the penny first; otherwise it won't make sense later. I was the only girl taking metal shop one year in middle school, and I found this penny. Someone had been practicing using the metal shop tools, and had sawed a piece off it, and drilled three little holes in it on the drill press, bent it, hammered it, put a brass rivet through it,...

This is my entry for the 2019 Summer Lovin' contest. It is based on a collection of real-life incidents that have happened over the years either to me or things I've witnessed at both nude and non-nude events. It's also a little nod to this year's 50th anniversary of the first Woodstock festival in 1969. Enjoy! *** Kyle rushed through a maze of restless of...
