"That's what I'm paying you to control!" she said harshly in no uncertain terms. "I'm taking a helluva chance on you. Everyone I know says I'm crazy. But after 45 years of being around horses, I can...

Hanna approached Saint Peter's Roman Catholic Church in the Finance District early in the morning on election day. She hesitated in front of the church entrance. The stone carvings of saints and angles that adorned the entrance were foreign to her. Jewish prohibitions against idolatry prevent any similar ornamentation on synagogue walls. As per her tradition...
It was the worst day at the office. First of all, I got slapped in the face by my co-worker, Linda. Then my boss yells at me and tells me I'm fired unless I get all my paper work done. I needed to do something to get my mind off it all. Driving on the way home, I thought about the present that my brother gave to me. I was... about 26 when he got me a mastur...

Could be why Indians hated the white m...

Everyone I knew claimed to have been living the carnal life for at least the past two years. My best friend Janice - this kooky black girl with spiked hair and a delicate little...
A movie and popcorn found the three of us piled together on the floor in front of the big screen TV. I tossed the pillows down while Lance took care of the popcorn and brought Lacey a cold beer. I lay down and Lacey settled herself against me and we watched a couple of comedies, laughing our asses off. It was good to see her laugh so freely; I had the impres...
When I was born, I was supposed to be a boy. My father was counting on it, so I could carry on the family name.
