"I... fucking... hate... this" I groaned to myself in the rhythm of my footsteps on mud. I had been jogging a couple of months now and it still felt like the worst thing of my life. Not just the burning muscles and gasping lungs, but the knowledge that my best years are over. In my youth everything was easy, my body required no long term attention, a spray o...
It was a misdirected camping trip. We left Scottsdale, Arizona thinking we would take a Spring trip east through New Mexico and into Texas. We had traded a beast of a twenty year old diesel pusher motor home for a more compact 28 footer on a truck chassis. Pulling our ATV on a trailer behind we were up for adventure. Then we hit El Paso. Fuck! We didn't spe...
Molly thought of a plan, she thought it would work best if she could have a hand help them, instead of Miss Sarah or Miss Dawn. The hands often switched working days so people can go to special events or whatever. The system was working quite well. One hand called to another. "Hey Larry, can we speak to you for a moment." The hand said, "Sure Moe, what's up...

Hi Folks, this one is a bit different. I've been reading a lot more DG and Hermit lately and Barney-R's influence is in there too. So in this one I wanted to concentrate more on the family aspects of the story than on revenge or action. The next one is probably going to be a bit sci fi, so for those of you who hate sci fi, here's your life preserver. I also...
===================== Cult 101: Defining Your Cult's Purpose and Establishing Moral Authority Alright, this one's a little 'out there' and I imagine I may piss off a few people along the way. Remember, it's only a joke, so lets not get too crazy. This is an entry in the April Fools Story Contest, 2016. I hope you enjoy it. ===================== I held...
There was a soft tapping on my shoulder. At first I thought it was my wife, then I remembered it was late Monday afternoon and the tapping was coming from someone else. I rolled over; it was Varina Jefferson, wife and part owner of the Antique shop where I'd bought some furniture. She was smiling at me. "Wake up sleepy head," she whispered, "it's after 4:00...
Chapter 1 Lying here in bed, just staring at the ceiling, the glow of the morning sun making the room an amber light. I can also feel the fresh breeze on my face, as the window is open now due to the warm nights. Spring is here. Soon it will be summer again. It will be my first summer in Lemsford Village. My place of residence for the last seven months, try...
Ian woke at the crack of noon with his muscles feeling tight, slightly burning as if he'd just gotten back from an intense workout. 'Though...' His eyes popped open in surprise when he realized his body wasn't sore. In fact, he felt refreshed --like he'd just slept ten hours instead of less than half that. He noticed his newest companion was awake next to hi...
One afternoon in early August, I was out for a training ride on my road bike in the hills east of Portland, Oregon. I was doing some interval work on my way to the top of Larch Mountain. As I neared the top and after a particularly tough interval, I spotted another rider on the side of the road. As I got closer I could see it was a young woman who seemed to...
