In 1969 Thomas Finn Callahan, then a young short order cook, fled Ireland after being accused of raping and murdering a young Catholic girl. Even though he was no where near the crime, Thomas looked enough like the perpetrator that the local constabulary wanted him. Thomas changed his name to his mother's maiden name, O'Hagan and arrived in the United Stat...
Oscar and Irene arrived at the pub, which was already heaving with customers enjoying the lively atmosphere, and the music from a live rock band who were set up on a small stage. There were a whole range of different people, young couples, slightly older couples, girls in small groups or pairs, but most especially, young men in small groups. As soon as they...
My lovemaking with Ally had been seriously interrupted by the screams from one of the bedrooms. I ran through a mental check: the voice was Fran's and she was in trouble. She's yelled with a mix of anger, pain, and anguish. "NO! GOD DAMN IT, I SAID NO. HELP, SOMEONE HELP." I was up and running across the house as fast as I could, even leaping pieces of furni...
Tim dropped him off at Terry's mews house. He showered and changed his clothes. After which he caught a cab to the military tailors. Returning with a pizza, he settled down to watch TV. The next morning early he took the Celica out of Terry's garage and drove down to Aventon. The cottage was empty; he had not told Mrs Mac he was coming, wanting to be on hi...
Amber and I walked into Carl's office to get our money. I made $800 for the day, money I'd be putting to good use later on. Carl gave Amber $200 even though I knew he'd already given Jed her money. He wouldn't have left so easy without the money Amber had made for him. I always felt Carl had a soft spot in his heart for someone who really was in need of help...

Spring semester was starting and I had been back on campus for about a week. Chris and I had been dating ever since the Halloween party. Things were about as serious as they could be for two 19 year olds who had known each other for about three months. I had really opened up about sex since we started dating. With my previous two boyfriends, sex never reall...
Squatting on my heels, feet just up under the curve of my cheeks, I can feel the ruffles on my sissy sox up against my bare legs. They would tickle if I weren't so afraid and focused on doing what he demands I do in front of these men. My knees pushed up toward him and spread wide, don't dare hold them together, don't want to get slapped, I feel his hand o...
"I'll see your ten, and raise you ten," The man to my right said as he threw in two chips. I was holding three nines, a duce, and a three. I considered whether to fold or risk another twenty dollars. I don't know why I cared, Tom had paid for my chips so it wasn't my money. I guess I just didn't like to lose. Before I decided what to do, my wife Jolene came...
As I cleaned the breakfast dishes and made sure the kids lunches were ready, I smiled at the three bags lined up neatly by the bench. My children were all getting ready for school, and my husband, James, was gathering his things getting ready for work. The kids came out from their rooms, and I kissed each on the cheek as they collected their respective sch...
