Frozen in place she began to shiver as horrible thoughts crept into her mind; thoughts that could have possibly prevented any of this from happening. Like most things lately, she had immediately dismissed it as pure coincidence. But she knew that nothing was ever a coincidence; things always happen for a reason. The night sky was covered with diamonds, and...
Jael's heavily kholed eyes glittered beneath his arched eyebrow, staring intently at his favourite barmaid, lingering on her swaying hips as she pottered round the old oak bar. Long fingers gripped his pewter chain and pendant, twirling it round in little circles, twisting the key that hung there with familiarity. He sat at his usual table, running a long na...
"For Emily wherever I may find her...." - Paul Simon My two-year-old granddaughter, Emily, cried for a while, refusing to go to sleep. Finally she wiped her nose on my shirt, rested her head on my shoulder and dozed off in my arms after her "terrible twos" tantrum. Putting up with a cranky baby is just one of the joys of being a solo baby-sitting grandparen...
I saw Marco staring at Ana's ass as she exited the cab. It didn't bother me. I'm not normally a jealous person, but if I were, Marco would be the type to set it off. Wealthy, handsome, Latin. His staring didn't bother me at all though. I exited through the other door, and then turned to hand Isabella out of the cab. "Gracias senor," she smiled, stepping ou...
Every one knows that high students often have crushes on their teachers, especially if the teacher is not bad looking and is sympathetic to their adolescent problems. And the crushes can go both ways, even all three ways. Female students may have a crush on their male teachers. Male students may have a crush on their female teachers. Or even a student of one...
It was just another boring Saturday night at my friend's house. We were watching a little SNL, playing pool, and bullshitting about life. We did this almost ever Saturday since Andy didn't have a girlfriend and my girlfriend Lisa worked nights. Halfway through a very unfunny Chris Farley skit we heard a knock at his door. Andy went to answer it and came bac...
I needed money. My job at the supermarket wasn't paying well enough for me to pay my rent and go out every weekend, my brother Chris living with me was helping but I needed another job. I met a friend for lunch one day in town and confided my money worries to her. "I'm telling you, if I don't find another job soon I'm going to have to move back home." And...
It was the start of a three-day holiday weekend, late Friday afternoon. With many people already gone, the nicely furnished and equipped exercise room of the apartment complex was empty except for one man who was moving weights. Don rented a small one bedroom apartment but its size was ample for a single divorced man whose work required him to travel often....
We met at a coffee shop in Ellsworth. She was very attractive. Not model looks, but tall with a nice body, wavy hair and a sincere face. Sometimes it's not the looks per se, but the personality and attitude that make someone sexy. She just exuded, extruded, sex. I asked her what she had in mind. She said it would be me, her and her husband. "Wait," I said....
The day after I submitted "People Watching" I had an idea for a different ending. This is it – and I have to say I prefer it. So, if you read the original, the only change is the last couple of paragraphs (you can't miss it). So, I would appreciate our views on which ending is the better one. Thanks As has been the case with my more recent contributions, th...
