Meeting His Parents I woke with a start. Something was wrong and I knew it. I had been in this "hospital" room now for about three days. I visited Oliver about five times a day, for my one-hour period with Lara guarding my door to ensure I got every minute of my hour. Yet, for some reason, I knew that deep in my gut, something was wrong. The alarms no longe...
There is something about the love of two men. They hold you, even when they hold you at a distance, and you always know, if you have given them everything they've ever wanted, you will never have to worry about them leaving. I have two such men. Jay and Adam. My name is Mavis Ayilah Clifford. I'm considered an African-American woman, although my mother was...
Hi folks. This story was edited by the incredible Mikothebaby. * * * * * * It was a typical Saturday in suburbia. Well, maybe it was typical for everyone else, but I was unfortunately having a garage sale. I hate fucking garage sales and like most guys, I'd rather have simply thrown the shit away.

The ad read: Is your fiancée an out-of-control Bridezilla? If so, we can cure her within one week, guaranteed. Tony liked the sound of that. Megan had been just hung up her cell phone after screaming down the line at somebody about the ribbons she'd been sent being burgundy, and not the mauve she actually ordered. Well, Tony was sick and tired of all th...
This inspiration for this story came from a novel I recently finished. The premise of the story will follow the author's premise for a very short time but he never developed the direction I will take the story. His entire treatment of the subject was done in a couple of pages. I guess he isn't the same type of personality as me where I like to explore these...
Chapter One - What Really Happened to Jeremy at Home Jeremy woke with a start. Looking about, his eyes focused on at the gently moving, heavy curtains. A steady breeze, invited by the open screened windows, carried the crisp autumn cool into his room. Thud. Jeremy tossed off the covers and, like a child, raced to look out each window for the origin of the s...

Friday morning "I talked to your mom last night," she said to her husband as he stepped out of the shower, "and she mentioned tomorrow is your father's birthday. Do you want to call him?" "No." "You know, it's none of my business, but..." "That's right, Abby. It's none of your business, so drop it." "Does he even know about Micah?" "I have no idea. And...
