My ex and I bought a house in Vancouver, Washington back in 1991 and about a month or two after we moved in his brother came to visit. He is an ironworker and is in real good shape. He came with intentions of finding work and after a while he did. I wasn't working at the time and usually he would get up and go to the union office before I ever got up. One...
"Samuel X, over the years you've pissed me off, annoyed the hell out of me, basically stalked my ass online, yet we share a weird connection, why is that?" KenJDoll said sharply, and the curly-haired, caramel-hued young biracial woman looked at the big and tall, Afro-sporting, roughly handsome, forthrightly bisexual Haitian guy who stood on her doorstep, a c...
Samuel X, also known as The Aquarius King looked at the sleeping form of his voluptuous lady slash partner in sin and crime, Domina Scorpio a.k.a. Kiah. The big and tall Black man smiled to himself.

Chapter 3: Calling it Quits On Saturday Ed took me to see our parents' burial spot. It was as I had pictured, quiet and serene. That's when he broached the subject.

I gasped, wriggling in the arms of my boyfriend and throwing the handful of soapy water in my hands at his grasp, "you do pick your times, don't you?!" He laughed, the low growling timbre of his voice hot against my ne...

Chapter 4 The cold wind blew down from the mountains, sending the orange and brown leaves racing across the graveyard. Jessie waited on the steps of the chapel with her hands in her pockets then turned to face the heavy oak door as it opened. Chloe stepped outside onto the steps, holding her hymn book above her head as if was a trophy. "Found it, Jess. It w...
Viv Coughlan put the EarPods in her ears and flicked through her playlists. She had eclectic tastes, but she knew today required something grand and majestic. Whereas yesterday's run called for The Village People, today called for Handel's Coronation Anthems. She told her cat Leroy to mind the house and set off on her usual route down the back streets around...
Lying next to my sweetheart, Jean-Christophe Etienne, I thank my lucky stars that he's safe and sound beside me in my bed. Every time I log onto my Facebook account or watch CNN, the trigger-happy cops have shot another unarmed young black man. A while ago they choked a black man to death for selling cigarettes on the streets of New York City. Seriously, Pre...
Hello my name is Libby, Libby Taylor. The story I am about to tell you is one, which has been haunting me for the past two years. Before I start telling my story I have to help you visualize the people involved. This will be good for me. The guilt has been killing me.
