Bett and I are an average couple in our early forties and we had been married just a little over sixteen years. Like in a lot of marriages of that length the sexual excitement had disappeared. I guess that after sixteen years of the same old thing we had gotten bored - maybe not of each other, but of sex with each other. A few years ago I had found a magazin...
© 2019, Ribnitin For April Day 2019 contest Eleven was kind of late to start a party, but that's when my evening shift finished. Robert had been on days, so everything was set up: the wine, the whiskey, the snacks. It wasn't an elegant affair, but it was important. Today had been my last shift after thirty-five years as a nurse. My farewell party was at Ro...
The two girls sat side by side in the Principal's office, the room filled with a deathly silence. Their faces were like thunder, the one marked with a bloody scar where the fingernails of the other had connected during their skirmish in the grounds outside. The man they were waiting on sat behind the opposing desk. He was well built, sharply dressed and cert...
Erin stood under the overhang, mentally kicking herself for the late night craving. She'd been certain she could jog to the store and back fast enough to beat the storm headed her way, but now she was stuck, the rain pouring in buckets, waiting for enough of a break to make it back home without catching her death. What was worse, the store had closed, so she...
"You may be seated." We all mechanically, like a herd of obedient sheep, dropped to our creaking pews. Everyone in attendance settled in as comfortably as they could onto the wooden benches, preparing for the long sit through Pastor John's sermon; that is, everyone but me. I was riveted, perched on the edge of my seat. My eyes darted to the stairs leadin...
About a year after I graduated college, I ended up taking this crap job delivering frozen food. Not exactly what I'd envisioned doing when they handed me my diploma, but an English degree in a bad economy isn't that helpful. The pay was lousy, the hours were long, and the benefits were pretty scanty. That being said, there ended up being one good thing about...
I looked at the e-mail. So the transfer was actually going through. My boss had confirmed it. I picked up the phone and called him. "What's the deal, boss? The last manager `disappeared'? What's that even supposed to mean?" "It means exactly what it says, Matt. One day he was there, the next he wasn't. And it's been a week. No calls, no e-mails, no ransom...
I shoot up out of bed, sweating from my nightmare. The anniversary of hell is tomorrow. I don’t even remember what really happened. I kept the video the police found in the camera from the scene of the Incident. I remember refusing to let them watch it until I was strong enough to find out what happened myself. I run my fingers through my sweat-soaked hair...
I was thirty-five, single, never married, though close several times, five-feet-eleven standing up, seven-and-a-half inches lying down, so naturally, I was very popular with the ladies while on my back. Evette was forty-seven, widowed, a very well-preserved five-feet-four, raven hair, with dark,smoldering 'fuck me' eyes. She dressed like a sophisticated slu...
