Author's note : apologies to Deep Purple: And yes I know the song is "My Woman from Tokyo" ------------------------------- I work for an extremely large company that is based in Kyoto, Japan. The office I work out of, however, is in Seattle. On Friday, January 6th, 2006, I succeeded in bringing in a contract that would net the company $100 million. When I...
In a few days my office was going to relocate. Today everybody was invited to discuss the plan. We gathered in the meeting room at 9 AM sharp. Everybody was there, the management, the client, and the staff. The Project Manager opened the meeting and briefly explained the whole plan. I was writing down what was important to my team when I felt somebody eyes s...
"Well, come on, chicken!" "Cluck, cluck." OK so I know it's not original, but it was the best I could do. Despite my misgivings, I got out of the minivan, smoothed my skirt across my hips, and waited for Alexis. Her name's really Alice, but she was Alexis for the night. The same way Jeanna was Gina and I was Belinda. I don't remember whose idea it was, but...
Jack Muncie was 54, a traveling salesman, divorced twice, no kids. Make that - a successful traveling salesman. Very. For the past two years, his territory had increased, and so had his sales. His demonstrations of computer set-ups for offices was his strength. "Don't know how you do it, Jack!" said his boss cheerfully, smacking him on the back. "But keep...

Tori, after getting home and resting comfortably on her own bed, awoke to the vibrations from her phone. She was drowsy, dizzy, and she barely had any clothes on as it was. All she had on was her socks. When she looked at her phone, she saw it was 9:30 a.m.. Tori unlocked her phone and saw she had a new message from her master, Armin. She opened the message...

In order to appreciate the characters and their relationship, please read the previous parts: Background Research. * * * * * It was Friday night, and Don had just gotten home from work after a long meeting with his sales team.

Hey guys, sorry it took a while, but the other version of ch4 that I initially was going to post didn't work out as I expected. So I put it aside for now, and re-wrote it from a scratch. I didn't like where the previous version was going and I don't think I was in the correct mood when I started it, you know?. It was more quantity rather than quality. I real...
Dearest Cecilia, I write to familiarize you with Six, whom, per our earlier correspondence, I am entrusting to you while I'm away. He used to have a name and not just a number -- as did One through Five before him. He had an identity apart from mine, and a life too. Maybe he still does. His work has to do with IT patents so specialized, he told me once...
So let's start with the basics. I am 29, male, and from the U.S. Until this past year I had not had a physical exam since my high school sports physical. Why would I? I'm in great shape.
