(This is Part Two of The Awakening, and I want to thank all who have read, voted, and sent me feedback on my writing. Like so many have said before, voting and feedback are the ways writers have of knowing that their stories have an impactÿso enjoy the story, and vote if you like it.) * * * * * Faith leaned against Lisa trying to look totally relaxed and...
It was a rainy and cold night when I entered the smoke-filled bar just off the Interstate. A series of personal defeats had sent me home for the comfort of my most recent lover. My unexpected early arrival found her the arms of another and after a flurry of ill contemplated accusations, we were soon on our separate ways. Fearing further confrontations, I eas...
A snippet from my mind on the journey from London to York... By the time I get onto the train to York I've fucked 17 people. I know, because I counted them. I don't remember them all, though I'm guessing they'll remember me. At least for an hour or two. It started with Monserat, the only one whose name I know - not that I bothered to ask, but she was cle...
I awake to the feel of hands on my wrists. Slowly, as from a daze, I realize I am being removed from my bed and bound to the restraints in the middle of the room. My pulse begins to race as a blindfold covers my eyes and my body is bound spread eagle. As the leather straps are tightened around my ankles and secured; my heart catches in my chest and fear ming...
Sitting alone in your Bogotá apartment on Christmas Eve, the heat is stifling and the tequila is going down smoothly as you decorate the imitation tree your mom sent you when she found out you wouldn't make it home for the holidays. Mom being mom, also sent Christmas DVD's, lots of packages dressed up with pretty paper, ribbons and bows. You turn on the DVD'...
Consciousness came to Dave like a butterfly approaching a cluster of flowers. Small gentle kisses promenaded along his back, at the same time he was aware of a hand exploring through the hair on his chest. Cautiously he opened his eyes to the velvety darkness of the bedroom; the only thing he could see was the fiery red numbers on the clock radio burning...
Things have been, well, very agreeable at home. At first, seeing Bobby fall through the slapdash structure of his "bigshot" persona, seeing it implode before my eyes, was a great awakening for me. A great awakening, and a great liberation. For him, too, it turns out! I mean, the boy has done a 180. It seems he got down-and dirty in some inner part of himself...
Wow, I'm excited about this story. I had a blast writing it, smashing it out in one fast session. On the reread, I still love it & didn't change it much. I think it was so easy because this one really came from the heart. It is fiction but could easily be real: a resonance. Given the power these ancient Arabs enjoyed, we would easily and naturally adopt the...
"Good morning, Ray," Sasha Brown said as she turned the light on, causing her boyfriend Rayon Blake to blink in surprise. After working security at a local warehouse, he'd gotten home late last night and needed his beauty sleep, as they say. Hard-working brothers need to catch some Z's like everybody else. Too bad his girlfriend Sasha Brown served Rayon a ra...
Legs of beauty could not hide the fact that the "Corriledge" began in the first reign of planetary disturbance. Truly, this is a strange sentence to start with, but so be it. It is the result of a drifting mind in the early hours before dawn. With the first new word "Corriledge" a whole new dictionary begins from words that spring out of the nothingness. Bu...
