Babu sat up. An idea that might work flashed upon him. He considered it from every angle. He found no flaw. Like all good solutions it was simple. It was based on the age-old barter principle. He worked on it and after two days got it all down on paper. He read the note with hope more than satisfaction. He waited for an opportunity to spring it on his unsusp...
A word of thanks for HawaiiBill and A7inchPhildo for their comments and support. Warning: this story features a priest who errs from the straight and narrow. If you find this offensive, do not read further. For nearly 250 years the Witches' Hammer (the Malleus Maleficarum was published in 1487) was the guidebook for the witch hunters. Open hunting season w...
INTRODUCTION He didn't know where he was, but the transporter had hummed along for nearly an hour. He already knew he was in deep, deeper than usual, but this meant bad news. Usually he'd try to run, a simple white and blue picking him up (if they could) before even ID'ing him, but this time was a different story. Both hands were locked in code protected, a...
Part 1 Like every morning for the last year I was up early running in the park a few blocks from my place. Very rare to see anyone else out and thought that when I turned the last corner and started my home stretch sprint and saw you running in front of me. I could see your long blonde ponytail bouncing with each step as the morning sun glistened off of it....
He heard the sound of the front door opening and closing, and the familiar footsteps that he had grown accustomed to hearing everyday around this time. He was downstairs finishing folding the laundry after putting in a solid day working on his novel. He knew where she was judging from the sounds of her heels, and then heard the sound of them being kicked int...
My heartfelt thanks to Kinkybelle for critiquing my story over and over, and her very valuable insight and recommendations. She was incredibly patient and diplomatic breaking in a new writer. It's greatly appreciated. The stories I write are absolutely true. As I didn't get married until I was 30 (and even then as you will find out, that didn't stop me from...
I hadn't really made up my mind whether or not I wanted to sell my house, but with a couple hours before the real estate agent was due to come over, I thought I'd take a nice leisurely swim in my pool and do some thinking. My house is very rural and at the end of long road, shrouded by trees and shrubs so I never swam with a bathing suit on, I figured why bo...
Bonnie didn't think it proper to be early but she needed a drink to steady her nerves. The excitement of meeting a stranger was bordering on paranoia. She began to wonder if she really knew enough about him. What if he was a mass murderer or a pervert? More realistically she thought they would meet and the chemistry would be zero. That's why she told nobody...

Hope you enjoy the story. Please feel free to leave a comment and remember to vote. Enjoy! It started off as a harmless afternoon as I was just starting to clean around the apartment. My fiancé had left on a weeklong business trip, and it was only the halfway point. After about five minutes of straightening up the apartment I was done for every other day th...
