Forward Long ago and far away, I read Bartelby the Scrivener by Herman Melville. My English teacher very cleverly offered no help in interpreting the story or its curious central figure, Bartelby, who calmly declines to do even the most minute task with the declaration I use in this story. Instead, he let a room full of 16 year olds debate the story and its...
Again, I must thank bebop3 for the pertinent suggestions. *Translation: Bituin and Tala = star Langit = sky or heaven Bulalakaw = comet Liwayway = dawn Luningning = brightness Pina = pineapple Enkantada = any being who hails from the enchanted lands (fairies, nymphs, sylphs, ogres, trolls, etc.) *All the characters in this story are above 18 year...

[Author's note: This is part of a continuous story, it's not really a stand-alone chapter. I recommend reading the parts continuously, and not jumping into it cold.] Kitty doesn't just tell me, her husband, that she loves me. She says "I love you" to a lot of men -- long-time boyfriends, recent ones, even one-time lovers. She's the sweetest person ever, b...
Sam picked up the phone after the first ring. It was early and Gloria would not be in for another half hour. "Foster," he said cryptically. They call this early, they better know who they're calling. "Sam, it's Brady. Sorry to call so early but the clerk of the court just called to tell us, the final decree was signed. We have a messenger on the way to pic...
To my fans, both of you: I'm terribly sorry it has been so long since my last submission. I have not forgotten, but the vicissitudes of life have prevented earlier posting. If you have not read the preceding parts recently, it might be a good idea to refresh your memory before getting into this portion of the story. If you have not read the first four parts,...
She was drop dead gorgeous and I wanted her. I lusted for her. I might even go so far as to say I would kill for her. Five feet five, one twenty, 36x22x35, hazel eyes and flaming red hair. When she was around I could not take my eyes off of her. She knew what she had and she knew that every man in the building wanted her. Her name was Constance Frederick an...
~Norm~ The front door opened and closed, and Nock walked into the living room. "Guys? I think he's back." I got up from the couch and went to the front window to look out, Nissi and Wendy close on my heels. The black BMW from two days before was rolling up the long driveway. We had all agreed that if the FBI were going to show up, it would happen within a...
If you haven't read our first posting(s) I'll tell you what we look like. Firstly, this is all real. I'm 5'10, just turned 32, brown hair and eyes and in reasonably trim shape. I met my wife while in university and we are married seven years now. Gail is exceptionally beautiful and very shy, which belies her intelligence and soft spoken manner. She is 5'7" w...
The phone ringing wakes me, my head pops up looking right at it. When it rings again I move to it, Tony only rolls over as I pick it up. "Hello." I'm sitting on the edge of the bed stretching my legs, a small groan escapes me. "I'm calling for Tony Samson I hope I didn't get the wrong number." An older man's voice says to me. "No you got the right number,...
