Everyone's over 18 I once had a student who, in response to an exam question, wrote that Australopithecus invented stripping. I had the Genus mixed into a list of Homo sapiens progenitors and was looking for those students who saw that it didn't belong on the list. Obviously Francine hadn't picked up on that fact so she, in a gesture of academic frustrati...
Chapter 1: Opening Moves I: The crime scene was located in suburbia Virginia, in a nondescript middle-class cul de sac. I pulled up in my beige sedan as a team of agents with "FBI" on their windbreakers were loading up. They all gave me one look. None of them gave me a second. I try to be unworthy of second glances, both through my attire and a few magica...
Acknowledgements: Tabico, as always, plus the departed and sorely missed Parker, as well as Jasmine, Jord, The Collector, Haywaine, and lots of other visual artists over at The Collective. N.B.: I must be watching WAY too much "Lost" recently, since I decided to try something a little ambitious with the timeline in this final chapter, and may or may not ha...
"Kellerman Studios ... How may I direct your call?" As soon as Eric opened the outer door into the studio, Jennifer looked up at him and held up her index finger so he would wait for her to complete her call. He sauntered to the reception counter and leaned toward her with his trademark smile plastered across her face. When she hit the transfer button on t...
"What do you mean, show you?" "I mean, show me." "Like . . . kiss you?" "Well, don't make it sound like a chore!" "No, I didn't mean that, I—" Without further discussion, she placed her hand around the back of his head and pulled his face to hers. He attempted to pull away, not because he didn't want to do it, but rather, he didn't like the way she was...
Vanessa stood in front of the mirror while leaning over the sink as she pressed her colored lips together. One of those stretchy, short 90's style dresses hugged her every curve. A scoop neckline and plunging backless view made room for nothing more than her smooth skin that would slide against it. She tugged at her dress while sliding her feet into the whit...
"You remember, don't you, pet?" It was his voice, close to her ear. She felt his breath there, warm, and then his lips and teeth, on her earlobe. She tilted her head, letting out a sound partway between moan and whimper. He spoke again. "Remember the first of these dates for me, pet. Go there again now, let it all come back to you..." And like that, the me...
I had arrived a day earlier than kelly. We had been planning this vacation together for almost two years, but one of us always seemed to have to cancel out for one reason or another. This was the first time since college that we could have our reunion. Now laying by the pool I closed my eyes and reminisced about our last two years in college, and particula...
There was a world of mist where time stood still. The sky was always grey and there were never any clouds or sun shine. There was grass as far as the eye could see. The grass was not green, it was grey and it never grew. There were no animals, trees, or plants in this timeless world. However, it was not a place without life, for there were two humans who liv...
