Where do ideas come from? Have things ever happened to you to give you certain ideas. I'd taken a job as bartender/room manager on a ship, the S.S. Diamante, sailing from the United States to Australia. It was designed to be a pleasure cruise for all the passengers. One major concern of the crew's was to ensure that an enjoyable time was experienced by all...
It is late but you are stuck in the airport. Your flight home was canceled because of the snow and there is no motel with an open room for miles. Since the whole airport is shut down, you are stuck. But you planned to make the best of the situation. Hopefully they will open the airport back up in the morning and you can catch an early flight home. To pass...
It is an unseasonably warm fall evening. The near full moon hangs low on the horizon, casting an eerie glow upon the earth. Long strange shadows dance about as a cool gusty breeze rustles the leaves in the trees. I am walking briskly to my car, hastily removing my camel hair sport coat and loosening my tie in an effort to bring closure to this hideous day....
My wife and I had been trying to get out of Los Angeles for a long time. It always seemed that the time was never right or there wasn’t enough money. Landing the client who was in town would mean a big up front payment and the ability to get out of town. It was down to my company and a company in Orlando and I had no intentions of losing this fish. I had Dan...
Ashkey pushed opened the doors to the bar. It was an old fashioned bar and she had to give the doors quite a shove to have them open for her. As they swing inwards, they creak which indicated that the bar was somewhere that was not well maintained. Stepping through the open doors Ashkey found herself standing on a carpet that was red in color and sticky wit...
Chapter Two: Ten years later...Mary...Helen...pissing trouble So that's where I was when I first saw Mary, ten years later. I was still going to Len's Bar occasionally on a Friday evening after work, though less often. The novelty of years gone by had more or less worn off, and I didn't show up so often because of work pressures. But I put in an appearance...
Part 1. I surprised my husband with a bath last night, it's been a while since we have been so sensual. Well Ill say this was the most sensual we have ever been. I filled the bathtub with hot/warm water and soaked a new bar of soap in the warm water for 10 minutes before he got in. The soap of my choice was Camay classic, I enjoy the scent, color and round...
I saw the Rumpus Room bar out of the corner of my eye as I drove home. I'd passed it a hundred times back and forth to work but had never stopped. It was a seedy local bar--we used to call it the Rum & Pus in my drinking days--but I wanted a beer and maybe a game of pool to help me unwind from the day. Inside the air was cool, but it had the sour smell of s...
Kalasandra slowed her big boat of a car as she approached the sign and neon lights indicating she had reach her destination. Wings Bar and Restaurant was just ahead on her right-hand side. She took a deep breath and put on her turn signal. Ed said to be there at 10:30 P.M., she was about 10 minutes early so she pulled around to the rear of the parking lot....
It was 1:45am and we still had a solid crowd for a Tuesday night. There were about 10 or so people up at the bar a few outside smoking cigarettes. Usually the wait staff was long gone by this point, having transferred any remaining tables to the bar's tab, and tonight seemed to be no exception. I hadn't seen any other staff members for a bit. I worked at a...
