Chapter One The revolving door swung open with a flourish. Althea was distracted by the sudden movement and looked in the general direction, only to see another businessman arriving early for the evening. The hotel was full tonight, unexpectedly, though one could certainly understand the reason. The blackout in the northeast had suddenly set everything on i...
Little of what I've been writing recently turns out suitable for this site. The majority of readers who comment seem intent on getting stories that repeat what they've already read and I can't see any reason to upset them with my stuff. But I wrote this some time ago, no doubt in response to something I'd read here, and it certainly takes place in the famili...
-The Full Moon Retreat- Episode: The First Search and Rescue Mission Chapter 9: The ultimatum... To the reader: Boy! What a week this has been! First, a hardware crash, fixed that. Then before I could catch my breath, Mozilla updates Firefox and it clashes with Norton Identity Protection and that starts crashing my system. Enough! Well... I didn't "fee...
"Wizards and witches always know when they will die," Havelock Vetinari proclaimed to his 'friend' Lady Margolotta, Ruler of Überwald, over dinner one evening, "unlike the 'Differently Alive' who mostly have no reason to believe that they ever will." "Qvite so," she responded archly, "und your point is?" "I'm just musing on the fact that while the Watch,...
From 2007 through 2008, lucsmith was very active on Literotica. He wrote long stories and short ones. One of the short ones was called The Pain of Forbidden Lust. He realized that his ending might leave some readers feeling unfulfilled. He invited anyone that felt that way to come up with a New Ending. This is my attempt to honor his invitation. You must rea...
I was in awe of the gothic splendour of the main hall of the Wills Memorial Building. A magnificent place, unfortunately funded by the proceeds of tobacco and, indirectly, the slave trade. We filed out into the bright Bristol sunshine and I was joined by my son, William, whose graduation ceremony I had attended. I shook his hand and congratulated him on his...
When I first started reading on Lit some years ago some of the first stories I read were "Genie Chronicles" and "A beautiful Wish" both were very good and they started my love of the site. I was thinking it'd been a while since we had a genie story and this just popped into my mind. I hope I'm not over reaching with three projects at once and possibly a four...
Chapter 10: Lacie's Decision It had taken a long time. Almost the whole day, but finally, Lacie knew that in the end, she really didn't have any choice. She knew that she was still being manipulated, and it infuriated her, but Lacie knew that part of her anger sparked from her fear at what had almost happened to her. That same fear of what could have been,...
Discipline and Dilemmas (2) -------------------- Wednesday, 9 October -------------------- The headmaster couldn't sleep. He rolled over in bed and looked at the clock again. Still only ten past five in the morning. He'd been away from the school for way too long for his liking. He'd originally planned to be back on Monday but his mother had been taken i...
I was raised in a conservative, religious family, home schooled. I realize that I have a different background than many. Very straight. But I've always been happy, enjoyed life and have done extremely well in school. At least academically. Socially I was and probably still am far behind. My mother always stressed game playing so I'm good at solving puzzles,...
