Oliver Beindersnip sat at his accounts desk when the bell over the bookstore door jingled. He looked up and smiled. It was one of his favorite customers, Missy McGoldrick. She normally came in right after school on Mondays and browsed around for an hour or so before heading home for dinner. Every once in a while she even bought a book. More importantly, thou...
A guard appeared calling out: "One-eight-Six and Thirty-seven, let's go move it!" She got up; moving out in the hall where neck chains were connected and wondered what was in store for them. They marched through several hallways and then entered a small room. The guard signed their log cards, handing them to another guard and left. The ball and neck chains w...
Angus McLaren sat in the shade of the wrap-around porch. The Men's House was a comfortable place with its Adirondack chairs and broad eaves and on a hot, late summer day it was just the place for a large iced tea and some time to digest lunch. Food was important at The Commune and fortunately it was fresh, organic and plentiful. It was, he thought, a damned...
My parents are throwing a party because I'm finally home after a four year hitch in the Marines. Old friends, neighbors, all people I had known for a long time. I really didn't want a party but it makes my parents happy and I have to admit, it's good to catch up with everyone. I'm working my way through the rooms, talking with everyone, when I spot a beauty....
The summer of 1979 had most of the "chosen ones" on the paths that they were destined to follow. Robbie Seldon and Crystal North were dating and realized there was something building between them as they started college that summer. Brad Seldon and Jay Hanson were starting their jet fighter training at Edwards Air Force base... and both their wives were preg...
Note: An anonymous user commented that there were some inconsistencies with the dates in earlier chapters. Apparently I had typed April instead of August when cutting to the Scyftan ship, as well as Nedovis. I typically copy paste the date/time forward, and then change the location and date/time if needed. This resulted in the date April 12th being carried...
I didn't move all night. Curled up on my side facing the door with no duvet or clothes on I was dead to the world. I woke up slowly. Rolling onto my back and stretching my arms above my head as I did so. Day light was leaking through the gaps around my curtains and I glanced at my alarm clock. "Half 7," I muttered to myself, "Really?" I stayed on my back, m...
Ashley's inquisition was complete; Eric was condemned. "Yes, mam." Upon Claudia's command, the big female security guard grabbed Eric by the back of his collar and jerked him away from Ashley's desk. She tripped him, he fell, and his ass hit flat on the floor. An electric jolt shot up Eric's spine; the acrid aura of nosebleed clogged his sinuses; he saw sta...
This is a work of fiction. None of the characters are underage or any age. You don't know them, no matter how much you think you do, because they are not real people. I made them up. What I am really looking for here is feedback. I want to know if it entertained. If it did not, I would like to know why. Was it incongruities? Was it unrealistic size? Was it...
She was dancing in the dark, twisting and turning on the sweat-soaked sheets. The glowing hands on the clock read twelve, but it was not midnight, for the curtains suppressed the light from the midday sun. Apparently, the woman had cooked up a delicious fantasy in the cauldron of her mind. But a shrink peering into her head would have seen a host of sly hand...
