~~Jack~~ "Name them yet?" "No. Really torn on it too." Jack leaned down, held out his hand, and smiled as the two crows each took some oats from his palm. "It's gotta be something meaningful." "Bonnie and Clyde?" His sire laughed at his own joke. Tacky, but the mafia boss man made it work. "I'm thinking something a bit less depressing. Just... nothing co...
I took the call a little after midnight, and yes, it was a dark and stormy night, but I guess in my line of work they usually are -- in one way or another. Dispatch called just as I ran across an ex-wife in a bad dream, but the sleepy voice on the other end of the line had no way of knowing that, and even if she had, there wasn't a damn thing either of us co...
[Note: Thanks to Curious2c--this story was inspired by, though it's quite different from, his story "Triple Trouble".] * I suppose you might think I was a complete idiot—the blindest, most stupid of husbands. But the thing is.... Well, first, hindsight is always 20-20. But beyond that, like most happily married men, I loved and trusted my wife. I had abs...
Writer's Note: I first submitted this story using a different name than the title. It is based on actual events. * The first time I laid eyes on Melissa, I was walking down a sidewalk after school with her younger brother, my best friend Doug. The fall day was sunny and warm, I was 16 and happily enjoying a little freedom before meeting my mom at her offi...
Author's Notes: This story contains m/m sex. Thanks as usual to my faithful editor bikoukumori and my lady love, for turning a messy story into a polished mess. All participants in sexual activities are 18 or older. ***** "Elthas Veru'in, you have been found guilty of treason and conspiracy to destabilize the realm. There can only be one reasonable puni...
I don't always start off a story with an introduction, certainly not with three of them but this is one of those times when I really feel it's necessary to explain to you, the reader, exactly who the people are in this story and how this sordid compilation of events came to pass. If I hadn't experienced it myself I wouldn't have believed it myself. You proba...
A note from the author. I am married to a lovely man. He is considerate and caring, a great father and in most ways he is a wonderful husband. For most of our twenty-seven years of marriage, everything has been fine. Now, though, as I approach my fiftieth birthday, far too quickly incidentally, I and too quickly incidentally, I are changing. I am bored wit...
Ch 1 October 2015 "Ella, wake up hon." I opened my eyes as the late afternoon sun hit through the window of their Ford Expedition hit my eyes. I let out a groan, my nap wasn't long enough. I checked my iPhone, it was 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon and we had been on the road since five. I sat up and stretched, my muscles were stiff from the drive and the aw...
Sometimes your past catches up with you. Sometimes it it bad. This time it's good. I had been working at my job of 10 years building heavy equipment. We had been putting in over 80 hours a week, for the past 6 months. With only Sundays off my time was limited. But our 2 week shutdown was coming up next week. And that meant vacation. 2 weeks to decompress. I...
Note: Though this is a sequel to "The Wolves of Paris," it is not necessary to have read that story first. "You never kill anyone you want to in a war." -Ernest Hemingway, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" *** June 1, 1944, Paris: 1,440 days under occupation. The streetlamp flickered, but did not go out. A pair of uniforms lurked on the sidewalk up ahead. Riqu...
