Chapter 21 -- Prep and Travel Word quickly got around the Circle to those outside the security committee and their families that the place was on some kind of security threat. We were using more and more of the human resources for guard duty and as back-up snipers. There was some concern, but the impetus for the concern was never fully revealed. Those who h...
Chapter 16 - Security The Circle Security Committee sat around the board room table. The members included: Dale Harnett of Harnett Security, Dave Prentiss, Rose Prentiss, Lt. James Hotch of the Circle and Sarasota Sheriff's Department, Owen Bennett, and Julie Prentiss-Bennett. Dale had also invited Lucas Donovan -- the head of security for Worthington Indus...
This story is paired with my story "The Climbing Tree!" For the greater part of the text they are the same story, however the two tales have different outcomes. For the convenience of the reader I have clearly marked the point of divergence, where the individual stories go their separate ways. If the "The Climbing Tree!" is fresh in the reader's mind, they m...
Hi Folks. I originally wanted to do something more shocking with this story. All the way until the moment I posted it I was torn between which version to use. I decided in the end to do both. Like "Fur" last year I'm putting out both versions. Most of you will already know where to find the other version. This is the nice or hopeful version. The mean version...
The place was perfect. Rory Harrison's real estate agent had found, in a few days, what he had spent the last month searching for. It sat at the far end of a quiet neighborhood street that was mostly filled with families. She had a smile on her pretty, oval face as she showed him around the outside of the house. She was wearing heels and a tight skirt that e...
The summer between my second and third years at the university I lived at home and delivered newspapers on the outskirts of the large city of Overbrook. It was hard work getting up at three despite the weather. We all gathered at an all night grocery to fold the papers and load our cars. Every morning it was the same routine. Occasionally the truck that brou...
This story is written as a stand-alone, but it continues the adventures of a couple introduced in a previous story -- 'Fifty -- Fifty', and contains some back-references. You may like to read that one first. * Life changed following our pretend one-night-stand-with-a-stranger incident. It had to, we were both on the point of giving each other marching orde...
The Literotica Xmas Bash All characters in this story are over eighteen years of age. Any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. Except in two cases. But I've got so much dirt on them, there's no way they'll sue. I'm assured by management that everyone voting for this story will get an invite to next year's party in the post....
Chapter 1 "So this is how my vacation actually went." "What?" "I didn't say anything." Jen said sharply, barely sparing me a glance from her phone. "I could've sworn...never mind." I said, glancing around the busy bar. No one was close enough for me to have overheard that, so where did it come from? "God...are you really that thickheaded?" I heard...
I woke the next morning to find myself alone in bed. I looked at the clock to find it past ten in the morning. I never sleep in. The previous night really took it out of me. I yelled to see if anyone was home. No response. The girls must have left me. I pulled out my phone to see a text from Lexi. She sent it when they left the house. It said, "Holly and I...
