******This is a world where magic and technology evolved side-by-side. Spells are as common as cells, phones I mean. This is an encounter between old friends who both happen to be magic wielders.****** ***** Dinner has been fantastic. The small diner's menu didn't offer anything close to fine dining, but the intimate and casual atmosphere allowed the two f...
Author's note: My previous stories were inspired by a modicum of truth, but this one is wholly fictional. Never, in my entire life, have I lived in an apartment building (except once, briefly, in Ohio). * * * * * "Ve are de Yohnsons," the tall Viking roared as he and his tiny wife stood in our apartment doorway. "Ve liff yust upstairs!" he added. My bewi...
Jake sighed as he cleaned the test-tubes. He was a freshman, and realized that he needed to pay his dues to get the really choice assignments in the lab, but cleaning the results of grad students experiments was still really nasty. Although, the job wasn't without its perks. One of the perks was that he was always the last one in the lab in the evenings - li...
Maybe, Never, Forever Once more she heard those horrid words spill from his lips. He was berating himself again, talking about how he was ugly and how no one would ever want him. She automatically looked up from the book she had been perusing. Sometimes she just wanted to smack him as hard as she could. Perhaps she would knock some sense into his head. Oth...
In times of old, great kings ruled, magic was wielded, across the land all kinds of species (both sentient and not) roamed the land, and there were a lot of naked people. Wait, what? Naked Fantasy Life takes place in the realm of Nuderia (original I know). You take the role of a peasant, noble, hero or anything in between within one of the many kingdoms of t...
Hi guys... This is another old one of mine. I don't really have anything new because there's been too much real life of late. But I've received a number of PM's, Feedbacks, and general comments looking for information... So hopefully those of you who wrote me anonymously will get this. I'm still here. After the semester is over I'll put more out as soon as I...
Can you hear me? Hear you? I'll take that as a 'yes'. What about the other senses? You're in a room with a small desk and a home computer; there's a wall-sized shelf of books beside you. The air smells of slightly acrid floral perfume, and it's comfortably warm. For some reason you can't move your body. I can see and hear and smell and feel, but I can't move...
"Are we really going to go out in matching workout gear?" Kat turned to her husband and playfully punched him in the arm. "You said they were cute when you bought them as an us gift for Christmas." Mike frowned. "Well, yeah. I just..." He trailed off and looked back at them in the mirror. The couple was dressed in matching windbreaker suits, real Rocky Ba...
Helen browsed the lines of lingerie displayed in the shop. She had been so upbeat about fixing her silly problem that the thought she could fail so spectacularly at such an early stage didn't even occur to her. As if her training schedule wasn't already challenging enough! Her first tries at running had been a hilarious if not humiliating event. Her 'stuff'...
“Tommy, don’t forget your lunch! You don’t want to starve on the first day of school!”, yelled Tommy’s Mother, from the kitchen. “Ok Mom, I got it, I’m gonna go now, bye!” Said Tommy. “Wait, don’t you want me to drive you?” “I’m ok Mom, thanks. Its the first day of senior year, the last thing I need is to be seen being dropped off by my mom.” Said Tommy. He...
