* Set in New Zealand that has no nuclear reactors CHAPTER 1 Guthrie Marks worked alone repairing small boats Monday to Friday, usually from 7:00 till 4:00, and then would go to one of his favorite bars in the prosperous seaside town of Townsend that looked out to Okahu Island and, like everyone else in that locality, he was unaware the island soon would be...
A short meeting about my lab grade with the TA had devolved from general concern about doing well to total panic about graduation. It wasn't her fault. I'd put off the lab requirement years longer than I should have. I had just realized my first chance at the lab was also going to be my last—unless I wanted to graduate yet another semester late. "Cole, don'...
I didn't know I was headed for disaster as soon as the week arrived. We were having fun, and more importantly, we were all coming together. Walt and Michelle were great together, and Rosemary's advice had brought out a performance in me that was both dangerous and exhilarating. For the first few days I freaked out thinking that the critics would think I was...
Another sunny school morning, Monday morning to be precise, and John Lock waited by the stile for his first love Margaret Short. They walked across the field together, every weekday, to school. The field was the next one to John's garden and a few hundred yards from Margaret's house. At the bottom end of the field was a long gravel track that went slowly dow...
I've been kicking this story around for a couple of years, and I finally got it finished. This is my entry for the 2014 Literotica Winter Holidays Story Contest. It takes its title and inspiration from the classic 80s song by the Waitresses. Please leave a comment or send me an email, and don't forget to vote! ************* Bah, humbug! No, that's too str...
It was Saturday morning, and the kids were still asleep. I could tell my wife was awake, but wasn't really ready to acknowledge it. I got up quietly, went to the bathroom, then brushed my teeth and shaved, keeping the noise down so I wouldn't disturb Gayle. When I returned, Gayle was more or less awake, just staring at the ceiling, but not saying anything....
Author's note: We have finally arrived at the "true" format of the series – one longer adventure that could be read without the benefit of knowing the previous ones. Nevertheless, I will summarise what has happened thus far: Jon was an English RAF pilot during WWII. In 1943 a race called Scnrgsis recruited him for the forces of the galactic community, which...
"Incoming!" "Carrie, I think you caused the robot to short circuit with that one. Look, she isn't moving!" "Yeah Tina, I gave robot Becky a syntax error!" It wasn't a syntax error, I just didn't care anymore. I held my head in my hands watching my coke can empty its contents onto my pizza slice because the in crowd chose to have their amusement at my expe...
This is dedicated to Vermilion, for the inspiration that her upcoming wedding gave me. Fortunately, my college roommate and the ditz that he's marrying are "like, so totally sexually compatible" as to invite comparisons with the great romantic couples of history, real and otherwise. That's Kendra's take, anyway. She's the ditz. Among the couples she lists:...
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!" Candi Palmer nearly pissed her sweat suit as she stared out the window of the gym. The parking lot already had thirteen cars in it and the doors weren't even open yet. Today was the grand opening of her Massage Parlor. For over a month she imagined what things would be like. Her bosses Mark and Earl Garrett were alrea...
