For ten years since leaving school I had a great job at my local tax office, fantastic hours and even better money but when they let a lot of staff go, I lost my job and suddenly realized that I was in big trouble. I had a wife and two lovely kids, a big house with a big mortgage, a nice car and all the other financial concerns that go with being part of a f...
Judy and I went to work at our small company at about the same time. She as administrative assistant to the CEO and me as a marketing rep. We were about the same age—early twenties when we first started, but didn't work too closely together being in different branches of the company. Judy started out as administrative assistant in the executive offices, whil...
The next day, Sasha brought back the materials for the basement stairway, based on my measurements, and we started the project immediately. Wendy and Nissi kept up with the completion of the bathroom, sealing and sanding in preparation for painting. Stan, Stansy, Nock and myself spent that first morning and part of an afternoon just in dismantling the old st...
Setting takes place in Forgotten Realms, copyright Wizards of the Coast. Silverymoon was a city that opened its gates too all. For Lura, who was a black-skinned white-haired drow, that was a good thing. On the surface, her kind was not always readily accepted. Thanks to the works of the goddess Eilistraee and a certain well known drow ranger, though, she ha...
The next morning Julie woke up hung over. She wasn't much of a drinker and the stuff Ashlee had made was potent. Then she remembered replying to Greg's email. Oh, shit! She quickly checked her email. Greg had replied. "There's no one here this weekend either, if you want to stop by today or tomorrow." He wasn't even pretending it was about talking now, w...
Day 7 Shannon's eyes popped open suddenly. She could feel her cheek resting on someone's skin. Daylight illuminated the room and refracted off long strands of red hair that lay over her eyes. She could feel a dull ache between her legs. Her left arm was underneath her, completely numb from lack of blood flow. She looked down and saw it was a male chest tha...
Saturday morning I slept in late. I had the whole day to kill before riding out to Clarksville and seeing what Ravagers was all about. Debbie had mentioned the place didn't really start rockin' till around 8:00pm. I wasn't sure what to expect but I hoped I was prepared. After catching up on some shopping I decided to lie out and catch some sun. Donning a wh...
The first chapter dwelt with Betty and Bill having jobs at a fast food restaurant that didn't pay enough to cover the rent and other bills. Betty and Bill emphatically said no when the landlord first suggested he wanted to fuck her for the rent. Later when they saw their unpaid bills stack up and were going to be evicted, they agreed to his suggestion. Also,...
Samantha Brennan lay on the snow-capped hilltop, while around her the eternal trees abided, dark frost-patched evergreen, as numerous and densely packed as the hairs on her head, with irregular pauses for rivers, lakes and oil and logging camps, all the way to the wintry western peaks, their lines delicate, ephemeral, more dreamlike than actual beneath the p...
"Doctor?" Clara said by rote. "Why are we at 13 Paternoster Row in 1893?" The Doctor looked up from a read-out on the TARDIS's console that did not do much more, in point of fact, but play Flappy Bird. "Now, that's hardly fair. When we weren't here ten minutes ago, you didn't ask why we weren't at 13 Paternoster Row in 1893." "It's just that we seem to c...
