Chuck truly loved his job. He had been hired as project manager at an up and coming video game company. Essentially, he was working his dream job. They were currently working on a dumb, but incredibly fun, game centering on an eco-terrorist werewolf attempting to avert the apocalypse. His team was on a deadline, and he was working excessively late hours. Be...
CHAPTER 16: A SEX DEVIANT OR A SEX DOCTOR? The sun was bright up, making everyone buzz with life and energy. Despite the sun and bright colors, one place always has a sense of gloom, the hospital. The trillion-dollar industry has recently been concentrating on the sense of welcome for their patients. But who are they kidding? Who would want to be walking in...
Alice and I both awoke at about the same time. A quick trip to the bathroom for each of us and we headed downstairs together. Kathleen was sitting in one of the overstuffed chairs reading the newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. "Good morning sleepyheads," she greeted us. "Stay in your nighties, if you want, and join me for a cup of coffee." We soon bot...
"You're so lucky," one of Brian's friends said to him as they sat drinking a beer at their local bar. "Well I don't feel lucky," Brian said taking another sip of his beer. He had just gotten fired. He knew it was coming. After all the things that had been happening in his life, he was aware that it was in the cards. "Yeah, about that," the friend said. "...
A 'Thank You' to my editors LadyCibelle and Techsan for making my stories a much better read. * My wife, Susan - I call her Susie - and I have been married over twelve years. I love her with all my heart and soul, but I think she's crazy. Not loony crazy but kind of dumb blonde type crazy. Don't get me wrong here; she is a blonde but she's far from dumb. I...
UNICORN OF THE APOCALYPSE October 23rd, 2076 One Year Ago There were so many questions I didn't ask. No time. I didn't stop to ponder how a zombie could have gotten past the decon systems, through the walls, or any of the doors. Why the cameras didn't notice him/it. Nor did I ponder the sole logical explanation. Zombie. Here, now. Years of hard-wired r...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* February 2010 Going to work was not what Alin wanted to do, however leaving Ryan on his own was unfair if not a little unprofessional, even though their relationship was more than boss and employee. There was a knock on her door, which reminded her she needed to be more composed. "Come in." "Morning A. You alright?" Ryan placed a cup...
For me, the day started out bad and got progressively worse. The clock didn't go off when it was supposed to and when I woke up I was already half an hour late for work. I skipped breakfast and with only a cup of black coffee for sustenance I jumped in my car only to find that the battery was dead. It cost me $55 to get the service station to send over a guy...
Thanks to Tangent Joker for the edit. "So! To summarize: The Zorgon Empire has contracted us to produce an army of clones for its new offensive against the Cretan Federation, and the Cretan Federation has contracted us to produce colonists to bolster their territories against the Zorgons. So you see the problem. We have a major conflict of interest ticking...
Brandon never thought making this bet would end with him losing. He was an avid football fan and it never occurred to him that his friend Maddie would ever pick more games right than him. She had probably never even seen a full game in her life and definitely didn't pay attention to who was good and who wasn't. With all this is mind he felt very secure in ma...
