Victoria cursed under her breath as the Xerox machine whirred to a brutal halt and the obnoxious Error: Paper Jam light blinked. She sighed and rubbed her eyes, looking at the giant pile of copy orders. Being a secretary wasn't as much fun as she thought it'd be. Even if the office was full of good looking men in suits. When she opened the front door to the...
During the week, one of my wife's Soma lingerie catalogs arrived in the mail. I tried not to look at her looking at it while on the sofa, but she knew better. She looked over at me and asked..."Have you ever been to Soma?" I replied "Yes, but they are a bit pricey." "Well, Soma has these wonderful panties on sale right now. You been wearing those three p...
Part 6: The 8 Team Enters The Porn Industry The whole 8 team was gathered around Roger waiting for some inspiration, how to quit schooling and stay here together. "Let's have some attention, you can't stop your schooling without a very good reason or your parents will get very angry and that goes for you Salenna and Craig." I'll speak for Salenna as she...
A bright flash of light disturbed my sleep. I opened my eyes with great effort and saw Uday jerking open the curtains of the suite's bedroom. He was fully dressed in formal clothes. I looked down and saw the sheets were gathered around my waist and my boobs were exposed. Not like he hadn't seen everything already. "What time is it?" I suppressed a yawn and...
Sitting at her kitchen table drinking her coffee as she reads the morning paper, her routine is similar each day. In fact she makes sure to do the same things every morning; she doesn't like to be rushed. Reading one of the stories on the sports page, she jumps when her phone rings. Taking it from the counter, she answers without looking to see who it is. "...

They are not particularly nice. -Expository fragment of the Malaveve prophecies Sephora's view of the camp was obscured by darkness.

Julia sat back heavily at her desk, her mind unable to wrap itself around what she saw. Her normal mail stack had contained a heavy manila envelope, when she curiously open the package, a short note and a compact video viewing device had fallen onto her desk. The note was written in an untidy scrawl and the message was short and to the point. Log on, wait, I...
The weather was miserably hot and sticky in the ancient city of Verona. I was there to attend the opera CARMEN at the city's Roman arena, along with twenty thousand or so other people. I am no fan of opera but, as usual, I was under the influence of the woman beside me (my sister) who wanted to see one, so there I was, sweating bullets and being elbowed by...
This story happened over 25 years ago, and is now one of the more cherishable memories of a much older man. One day an older (over a decade) male friend from work put it in my head that we should join an amateur theater group together. He had seen some flyers around the malls for casting "try-outs".

I didn't know which was worse, being an out of work writer like me, or being an over the hill, out of work movie star like Lois. Lois was her real name by the way. Her stage name was Marietta Miles. Some hack agent had given her the name when she arrived in the Dream. She had stopped going by it the second year after she stopped working in the flicks. She ha...
