He hated winters in the north. He was a Southern boy, born and bred. How he had let his buddy convince him to watch this old cabin up in the middle of the forest, in the middle of the winter, he would never know. To make it worse, there was no electricity. To heat the damn place, he needed firewood. To get firewood, he had to chop it up himself. His friend...
Kyle felt woozy. He'd dropped hi keys in the bowl and stripped out of his clothes headed groggily to the shower. He felt painfully hot, as if his skin were coated in some sort of flesh-eating chemical. He switched on the shower, turning the cold nozzle all the way to the left. He ran the bar of soap over his flat stomach and up over his chest, letting the s...
An Unfinished Story Waiting to be Lived He figured after 34 minutes if she didn't show then he would stop waiting, but no, he waited 54 minutes and completely gave up hope. He had been stood up, she wasn't coming! The pain of the realization hit him and his voice cracked as he called the waitress over. He could get a quick bite to eat and leave. "I'm ready...
One week later: The following weekend, we had been invited to a party at the home of our friends Jim and Melissa. It was to be a relatively small, casual gathering and we offered to bring some homemade chili, which I told Jason to prepare. I donned my clothes, put on my makeup, and packed my travel humidor with a variety of sticks. I told Jason to wear pan...
This was the second time I'd been hogtied that evening. First time was on the bed. This time I was lying on my stomach on the floor. Wrists tied closely to my ankles which were tied to a harness around my chest. I was gagged and hooded and enclosed in darkness. My mouth and arse burnt with the fire of hot chilies, pushing waves of discomfort into my stomach....
I washed my bowl out and set it in the sink. Glancing over at the stove, I put the lid back on the pot of Chili and wiped my hands on a towel hanging from the oven. Turning up the glass of iced water, I all but chugged it down to wash the spice from my mouth. I knew I needed to quit eating hot chili. I dreaded the inevitable heartburn I would no doubt experi...
Jeff arrived at Cindy's apartment that Friday night promptly at eight. His wife had been in a rage when he left. She didn't believe for a minute that he'd been called by an old college room-mate and had to go out with him. But Jeff would worry about Allison later. Right now he was almost faint with excitement at the prospect of a real date with Cindy. Afte...
Life for Carly started falling into an almost comfortable routine over the next few weeks. Jason still wasn't talking, but he wasn't as surly anymore. Caleb was spending less time wailing like he was possessed by demons. Carly was seeing less of Emile, who was spending her weekends with her mysterious man, but they still caught up several times a week. She...
This is a story about the Scallions Brothers, Greg and Brett. I hope you enjoy reading it as much I enjoyed envisioning it in my head and then putting it on paper! * * * * * It was a bustling Friday night at the Wind-n-Rain pub in Jackson, Tennessee, and the place was nearly packed. Amanda tucked her hair behind her ear, raced around the side of the bar an...
In Mary's mind, another summer was vanishing without real incident and the halls of a college a few miles away offered little enchantment for Mary's musing. It was February and nearing the end of summer when the wind and air change as frequently as a woman's fancy but this would be Mary's enchanted season dominated by a reality suddenly appearing right next...
