I started going to estate sales with my girlfriend last summer. She's an artist who uses a lot of found items like old books, fruit cans and photographs to construct these amazing creations. She was getting popular, and had to buy as much stuff as she could for as little money as possible, and the cheapest prices for all the best stuff was at Estate Sales. I...
Jane and I arose at some ungodly hour. I shaved, showered, dressed, and we taxied to Logan Airport, to make the seven a.m. flight to Newark. We were at TCI Headquarters right at nine o'clock, and received a heroes welcome from Pam, who pulled us into her office (Jane's old office) and gave us kisses that nearly set off the fire alarms in the building. She le...
Part three in the tale of August and Mason during which the D/s aspect of their relationship intensifies and August really, really likes it. Since the first two installments were focused on Mason's boxing world, this one is more about August's as a legal professional, though there is a little bit of boxing fun at the end. As always, you don't need to read th...
I hated school. I was literally at the bottom of the social ladder; nobody ever wanted anything to do with me. Being the only child to a single mother didn't help. The deadly grip of loneliness threatened to take hold of me and never let go. That was until mom fell in love. "Steve, you are going to have a new father and a brother. I'm getting married to To...
Ever since she was a little girl, Alice has always been deathly afraid of public speaking. Every time she was forced to get up in front of the class, she would stammer a sentence or two, and either freeze in place, or burst out in tears. Even now, in her Senior year of High School, as a legal adult, she was terrified of speaking in front of the class. This m...
Simon awoke to find the sun streaming in through his bedroom window and the warmth of the day already beginning to find its way into his room. For a moment he thought he had overslept and a moment of tension gripped him, but then, smiling, he relaxed into his pillow as he realised this was the fourth day of his summer holiday. After dozing for a while, he...

"Mom!" She called loudly. There was silence. "Mom?" She repeated, peering into the kitchen. It was empty. Her mom's car was out front, as well as one she had never seen before. Perhaps she was entertaining in the back yard, thought Tina. She went through the kitchen and was about to open the back door when she noticed something though a slit between the d...
As I walked down the jetway about 6:45 p. m. toward the first class section of Delta Flight 4383 (operated by Virgin Atlantic) I was still sore from my full body workout with masochistic female trainer Jill. I didn't know that it was my normal trainer Vince's day off and that I'd have the trainer from Hell when I arrived at the gym otherwise I might have ski...
I was there for the first part of the story and it was only later that I learned the rest, much later and much too late to do anything about it. It started innocently enough. We were staying at a hotel on the beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We had just returned from an evening of dinner and dancing and we were sipping wine on the balcony of our sixth floor...
