Chapter 25 -- Experiment in Reality Susan said, "This sounds a bit like a cult." Dave chuckled. It wasn't the first time he'd heard the accusation about the Circle. In a way, every unique group was a cult in his mind. His old Christian church had been more of a cult than the Circle because of how they restricted everyone's thinking to only the rules and su...
Chapter 16 – Neighbors – First Encounter "HELLO!" Dave turned around, surprised at the slightly shouted greeting from an unexpected direction. He'd just come back from a five-mile run, worked up a healthy sweat, and didn't think he was too presentable to be meeting someone new. He saw a young couple he didn't know walking up the Access Road. The woman carr...
Chapter 17: Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely "Good morning, Slave." A startled Tyler looked wide-eyed at Goddess from his curled position on the hardwood floor. The cock had been pulled from the mirror sometime during the night. It lay by his side. "How long did you stay up?" "I don't know. A few hours at least." "Can you swallow it without gagging?"...
The family were engrossed in the nitroglycerine scene of "War Wagon" when the phone rang. Vicki rushed to answer it, hoping that it would mean Tyler and the other deputies had caught Dinah. "Thank you. Yeah, it's not ideal, but I should have seen it coming. Prison is no picnic for child molesters, from what I've heard. That's probably even truer of women's...
I'm sorry to have taken so much time to complete this interim chapter. This has been the hardest thing I have ever done, that is... to try and describe all of the various events that occurred during those terrible days that forged my new persona from the old, so many years ago. It was a thorough metamorphosis that changed me so dramatically, most people no l...
It had years since I had last seen Lee, the neighbor kid who had guided me with the ease of a master down the road of servitude into a state of complete and depraved slavery. The extremely humbling experience with Lee, Kay, my former girlfriend, and others of my youth was finally set aside once I got away from the small town where we all lived. Running away,...
Chapter 31 -- Independence Day Dave looked next to him as he stood on the patio at the Meadows and from a few feet away got a highly contented smile from Joyce. She was wearing both parts of her patriotic bathing suit with both bra and bottom sporting a bold pattern of blue stars and red and white stripes. She was also wearing her jeweled flip-flops and had...
Chapter 9 Justin thought about the risks of what he was about to introduce, but thought it would probably be put away and forgotten after the war. Guns and bullets would never go away on earth, but that was because everyone could both make and use them. Here, he planned to use a magical equivalent that few people could duplicate except mages. And really,...
July 2011 In all my travels, the Paris Metro is one of my favourite transport systems. Whether whizzing across to breathtaking views of La Tour Eiffel or hopping up to Anvers to marvel at the gleaming Sacré Cœur and bustling artists of Place du Tertre, it's an essential piece of kit to explore what is arguably the most romantic European city. To plan a Met...
I wasn't sure why she wanted to get together. All she texted was 'meet me at Cisco's at 6:30,' a typically terse demand. She was on time for a change, weaving through the chairs with an attractive long haired woman in tow who looked uncomfortable, like she didn't wanted to be here. When they sat down Lisbeth introduced her as Harriet Glover then picked up a...
