Life had been pretty good for me. My mother, Aunt Constance and I lived in a quite country town in a big old house. My father had deserted us when I was very young, so young that I don't remember him being around, but he had provided well for us, so it was a happy, comfortable upbringing, although a little boring at times. There was some occasional tension...
Funny story as to how all of this came about. I've long been interested in music, and over the years have sunk thousands of dollars into LPs, CDs, cassettes, 8-tracks, etc., all of which are media for the storage of recorded musical performances. My tastes are catholic, or, perhaps more accurately, I should say, agnostic, and run the gamut from hip-hop to op...
She was still horny; Either the humans were lying to her, or cold showers just didn't do anything for the Fae. Ever since the Celestial Conjunction in the early 21st century, the one that made magic possible, and enabled the Fairy races to return to the Earth, the sexual habits of the Fae had been criticized. Y'cynndaarielle was trying her best to adapt to...
I can't wait until we do this again, I said to Rafiq Fakri as I kissed him goodnight. Grinning, the handsome, dark-skinned young Moroccan kissed me back passionately, and then exchanged a wink with his lovely wife Basmah Fakri, ( nee Redouane), who nodded understandingly. I bade them both goodnight, and they walked me to the door. Before I left, Basmah did s...
It was to be the greatest magic trick ever performed. Greater even than the Allies deception about the Normandy landing during world II. The plan was to evacuate a large portion of the planet's population under the very eyes of the rest of the world. Hiding in plain sight with smoke and mirrors was how it was to be executed. The big question was who would g...
My work takes me to Washington where I see the sights. A firm in Washington DC had contracted my services and after a couple months of work I had yet to spend the weekend there despite the many attractions the city held for me. I had just broke up with my girlfriend about two months before my contract began, but I was still making the 4 hour drive back home...
Sabine only had one client on Fridays. He was neurosurgeon with enough money to buy her a million times over. They had to finish up early because his daughter had an orthodontist's appointment and couldn't drive herself. As they redressed, she thought about her time at one of the state-run boarding schools for abnormally-abled children. A fuzzy memory of pic...
Tales and myths from the American Wild West have fascinated boys all over the world during the last 140 years. An old saying says, "Boys are always boys and will never be adults" and therefore we middle aged men in our small Scandinavian town have an "Old West Club" with twelve members. Names as Wyatt Earp, John Ringo and Doc Holliday are magnified and fact...
A story following others in the series, but intended as a stand-alone work. Enjoy! + "So that's it?" I said. "That's it. And more high-tech you'll not find." "And I'm supposed to use it when?" "Might make editing more interesting," he replied, smiling. "Silly man - I have six papers to grade and a major article sixteen other people are waiting for me t...
The next day, Adam was working the night shift and not long after he had been working, Mark showed up. "What's up? " Mark asked, as he sat down at the bar. "You're a son of a bitch, you know that? " He said quietly. "What the hell did I do? " Mark asked. " Look man, if you and Jesse are having problems, don't say I didn't warn you. " "Yes, and what exa...
