As Darla lay nude on the bed next to all of her new sex toys, the alarm clock awoke her out of a strange erotic dream. Despite the eight-hour nap, which she took after having arrived home after a long and exhaustive double-shift at the hospital, she suddenly awoke and had a sudden sensation that her session at the gym yesterday had been all a dream. She had...
A cigarette hanged from between the thin lips of the boy called Hate. Those glowing embers did nothing to light the room, and the glow only partially illuminated his sharp, hawk-like face. His dark brown eyes scanned the room slowly, and a small smile raised on the corner of his lips. Though the room was hardly lit at all, he could see it perfectly. Just ch...

She was feeling a tad dizzy. Kistle clung to the mane of the airhorse that she was seated on, fearing for her safety. They were gliding along the clouds, much too high and much too fast for comfort. She could feel the horses' flanks contracting and relaxing under her, hear its loud snorts. The big beast's satiny black wings flapped about her gloriously, co...
This is a true story shared with me by the young Indian man who had the pleasure of experiencing the joys of an older woman as his first lover.

However, on the day we were to leave...
Not an actual story, just a guide I hope someone finds useful. Character: Important characters require backstory, beliefs, and personality. The quantity of detail depends on the level of importance. Not all characters require back story, there is nothing wrong with "throw away" characters. The most important thing needed for writing characters is empathy....
My wife Anita shifted uncomfortably in the passenger seat. "You OK?" I enquired. No reply. A mile or so went by in silence. "Why do they think it's so funny?" "What's funny?" I asked, knowing full well what had got to her. We had just overtaken a white van, which as is quite typical at this time of the year, had its back end covered in the dirt sprayed up...
The rest of our winter vacation that was not spent in bed was devoted to house hunting. We thought at first about buying one huge house big enough for the five of us and our families, but practicality reined us in finally. We decided instead for two large houses that were right next of each other on this lovely bay near Mano, and close to the nearby shopping...
Finally!! I can't believe what a week it has been. The drive across town in the evening rush was tougher tonight than it had been in a while and it seemed to just add to my already bad mood. You would think that eventually they would have built and rebuilt the roads in this town enough times to actually not have construction going on for a at least a few day...
THIS IS A STORY whose happenstance did occur to its young protagonist on one recent morning in the year 20__, on the fair streets of B______. (Whoops, sorry, my underline button got stuck. It was last Sunday in Boston.) My name is Cedric, and I found myself at loose ends on this particular Sunday after cutting out early from a comic book convention at the do...
