Jelena's family was poor, and unable to send their eldest son onward to higher education. If only they could send him to school, he could become a lawyer, or an engineer, and help their family rise out of poverty. Jelena had heard from a friend about Harem, a small country, its borders remaining intact into present day due to its ability to pay its annual pr...
There are lots and lots of survival guides teaching you how to survive hunting the creatures that go bump in the night. Guides on how to persevere through attacks by aliens and robot menaces and even manuals on what to do if there is an outbreak of the Black Plague in the world. Most of those instructions are roughly the same anyway. Stay hydrated, keep your...
Evelyn remembered little of her wedding feast. From the moment Reynar's lips touched hers, her mind retreated behind a wall. It wasn't a conscious decision. Perhaps deep down she realized that she wasn't ready yet. She did remember bits and pieces, though. She remembered sitting next to Reynar on top of a huge dais as they feasted. Numerous tables were line...
The name of the CD bar he owned was called 'Over the Blue Moon'. It was the name of the one and only play Gary Stanisloph Kowalski the owner had been in when trying to make it as a stage actor 16 years previous. If he got drunk enough like the character artfully portrayed by 'Brando' he would playfully cry out 'Stella...Stellll-aaaaa' to the amusement of his...
We used to go to the beach a lot. It's probably why I've had skin cancers removed now. But back then it was the in-thing to play volleyball and watch all the lovely girls dressed very skimpily. And, as often as possible, manage to do more than watch. At this one place where a bunch of us usually hung out there were probably two dozen or so regulars. At any g...
Summer time, 2008. An endless sea of persons of different shapes and sizes and colours invaded the streets of Miami, basking in the sun which bristled with intense heat from where it suspended, millions of miles away in space. As was customary in this part of the United States during times like this, women flaunted a good chunk of their skin by donning scan...
(This is another short story that has been hanging around for a long while. It needed to be got it out of the way, so as to concentrate on a series.) "I didn't get elected because I'm a nice person. I was elected because I put daddy's money in the election fund, and had more money than anyone else, to spend on promoting my image. I got votes from men bec...
Dedicated to you. This fast spinning hell sphere is something else, ain't it? "I'm with you. No matter what else you have in your head I'm with you and I love you." Ernest Hemingway, The Garden of Eden Here Comes the Sun "Here comes the sun," a deep voice sang. Hot coffee spilled over my mug and dripped down the white cabinets. I fumbled with the pot,...
It had been a long day at school, studying for finals, winter weather was nowhere to be found, of course this is Texas, so a halter top and skirt is completely acceptable in December. I pulled up to my friends' brother's house, where it is actually quiet enough to study. I went in and laid my books down on the couch, sat down, lit a cigarette and got to work...
When I awoke again it was daylight, and a bird was singing someplace nearby. I didn't move for a few minutes, letting thoughts of what had happened trickle back to me. Not everything was clear, but when I focused on you, I could feel a tension in my cock. I realized I had a sheet over me, and I opened my eyes. You weren't here. The sudden sinking feeling sto...
