I was so, so very tired when I got home that evening. I had been working as the Key Grip on an indie film being shot in Brooklyn. The best thing about it was that it was a good crew, with a lot of guys I've worked with before and considered friends. Even the shittiest jobs are bearable when you're surrounded with good people. And make no mistake, this was a...
Richard & Richard's biggest case was an environmental degradation lawsuit filed on behalf of the residents of Clear River, a town located downstream from a large chemical plant. While establishing liability and damages would be difficult, the potential award was in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The firm, unfortunately, had bad luck with the judge assi...
PART 3 Celina .../b> If it hadn't been for the alarm siren I think we would all have slept on and on so great was our exhaustion following the first full day at slave school. I was deep into a wonderful dream about Master Si when the damn bell interrupted me. I opened my bleary eyes carefully, slowly remembering where I was. Gradually the feeling came back...
The phone on the bedside table rang. Chambers reached over Ria, still slumbering beside him, and picked up the phone. "Hello," he said groggily.

This - watching men trying, and failing to pick up chicks was his job. One he was normally better at. His client, a stuttering and pimple-faced ginger IT geek blundered something about...
I want to thank all those who sent private and public comments about chapter 1. This was going to be a fairly straight forward story, but I loved some of the suggested directions for the story and changed course. As a result this chapter had to be rewritten and took a little longer than I thought. Sorry about that, but I hope you enjoy the results. As alwa...
Sixth Inning Part six of nine part series! Read the other parts first, would you? Everyone is over the age of 18. ***** I woke up early the next morning, my back stiff from sleeping on the floor. The previous night, our amazing baseball road trip orgy had, indeed, become worthy of the word. All of us -- my athletic, tomboy roommate Julia, my best friend's...
Xavier was the General Manager and part-owner of a hip new restaurant in downtown Manhattan. There was a Christmas party going on that evening, and he kept getting pulled in different directions on the way out the door to meet his Simone.

Yeah, Shae's still trans. *** The shuttle rumbled as it started to slow its descent. Shae idly noted that she barely felt any inertia shift, but, she knew the Rei-sa had tech to manipulate gravity, even if they have been very tight-lipped about how it worked, there was no other explanation for her comfortably sitting on a cushion while the ship decelerated...
