Author's Note: This is not a story. This is a behind the scenes look at my writing of "There Was an Accident". If you don't want to read about how my story unfolded, the thought processes involved, and some things that didn't make it into the published story, then just stop reading now. There will be no sex in this writing. Well, OK, maybe not none, but n...
It had been a long couple of weeks. I was single and had been talking, flirting with a few, but wanted no type of serious relationship. Because of long hours at work and some long hours of printing in a side business I owned, I was tired and a bit stressed. My upper back had been hurting from some bad posture decisions and I knew it was time to call on my th...
Mikal chuckled low in his throat, running his hands lazily up the back of Amber Eye's well muscled, powerful legs, "Seems terribly rude to not do a simple thing that a guest asks, don't you think?" Despite his effort at humor, Mikal ached. He'd never actually gone to his knees but rather had ended up crouched, braced against the door with his back, the head...
I got a call today from Paula. She said she wanted to catch up with me since she hadn't heard from me in a couple weeks and was curious how I was doing. I called her back and talked to her for awhile and found out that Lynn and Tara were rather worried about me and what was going on. I called Lynn and told her what was going on. She was happy to hear from me...
A Dramatic, Classical Story To reiterate, I defined a story as an artificial construction intended to give the illusion of reality. (What? What?) A dramatic, classic, which is the type I am interested in expounding on, is defined as: "The story of a protagonist who tries to get something which he/she desperately needs that is very difficult to get and su...
It was a great delight to hear that I had won a one-month trip to Africa especially after many years of missing holidays because of business responsibilities. I did not know what to expect since I was completely unfamiliar with the region or the history but I was glad I would get to see something new and different. I would travel with a group and we were su...
Jim: Until now, I always enjoyed traveling. The Navy sent me to cool places I thought I'd never be able to see. Guam, unfortunately, wasn't one of those places. It was only supposed to be a six hour layover. There was a storm coming in and they thought we should try to avoid it. Well, the storm ended up being a hurricane and six hours turned into 2 days....
A Nights Tale had the most comments and e-mails of any story I have written even though it had the least readers. So for those that enjoyed it I offer part 2. Dom Woolf * She walks through the hot summer night, her body glistening where flesh is exposed. She stalks her prey, keeping to the shadows in areas where they are most likely to be until she spots...
The next morning Asch headed for town as soon as the library was due to open, which was after some writing and a quick breakfast. His first presentation in Easthaven was the next day, and he wanted to review some of the geology paper, look over some satellite photos of the area, and rehearse the approach he was going to take in his talk. He saw Clay when he...
*Note - This is a work of fiction. By the time the summer of '75 came, 8 different girls were involved with Helene's little voyeuristic game. They all thought they were doing it just for Helene and their own benefit. Only Gracie knew that I knew as well. If I have given you the idea that I just went to work and then moped around all the time waiting for H...
