I understand why people read the Loving Wives genre (betrayal and revenge are an emotional turn-on). But a lot of its stories border on the misogynistic (look it up cowboy). So, I thought I'd take a stab at writing a genuine, non-cynical "loving wife" tale - just as a change of pace. The Hemingway short story with the same title may have been the first (on...
A 'XXXecil for hire' story commission * A cackle erupted from the throat of a smoke-shrouded man as he waved his arms in fluid circuits above the dun-colored stone floor. His face was adorned with black eye-paint made from tar that had suffocated a virgin. His nose and lips were pierced with rings forged from molten metal harvested from the charred wreckag...
It was the first time I was ever in the place. A cocktail lounge in a small bedroom community on the outskirts of Tampa Fl. I decided to drop in on the spur of the moment. I had no where to be on this rainy Friday night. My last girlfriend left me when I refused to let her move in with me. She was a nice enough girl and a great lay. Her only problem was she...
In almost all Loving Wives stories the term "love" is liberally used. It is rarely, if ever, defined. It is a simple word with a complicated definition, meaning different things to different people. For most of the commenters in stories in the Loving Wives category where there is a cheating wife the main association of the word "love" is with "fidelity." Fo...

Welcome all ye princesses, heroes of prophecy, and green muppets with laser swords to yet another episode of LST3K! This episode is a little longer than those previous, and I'm afraid you know what that means if you've been sucked in with me before — double the pain! The original story has a few spoofish moments of its own, some of which the author ad...
She had shoulder length blond-brown hair that the sun had bleached to almost platinum on the top. Her body was slender with curves that were sweeping rather than dramatic and she had just a slight swell of a belly that added to the allure in the same way that a slightly asymmetrical rose seems more real than one that is perfect. Her eyes were the blue-green...
Two people, drawn together by a bet, meet, perhaps fall in love, but separate, one to pursue another love and the continuation of a career, the other to salvage a business and forget the heartache. As each grapples with their demons they plod forward; spinning off, errant comets into different realities. They wonder if the decisions they made were good ones...

1) My office literally sprung a leak. The company I worked for was leasing an old building. The roof gave in and a load of accumulated water dumped into the office space. We were all sent home early. I arrived home at approximately 2:00 PM and saw a familiar vehicle parked on the street in front of our house. It belonged to our friends Jim & Sabrina. Sabr...
