Note from Slickman: One of my favorite stories on the Lit is "One night at a party." I like the story line so much I thought I'd expand on it a little.

As this is a Valentine's Day contest entry, positive votes and comments are appreciated. This story is the result of a reader asking me to write in a specific category with just the barebones for character descriptions and a plot. I was given carte blanche with the rest and put my own twist on it. Thank you for helping me push my boundaries. Enjoy the burn...
Part 12. Thursday afternoon. "You know, Will, Belinda wants me to convince you to make amends with Karen," Steven said. "She's quite upset about it." He grabbed his water and took a sip, casting a quick glance at the departing hostess. The ladies of our group had gone en masse to the restroom as soon as we entered the restaurant. I originally thought that...
Prologue "What is it?" Lara Collingwood looked at the small white pill. It could have been an aspirin for all she knew. "It's just a special diet pill, darling, it will give you a pep in your step because, honey, you look dreadful," Gordon said, turning Lara's hand over and placing the pill on her palm before curling her fingers over it. "You can't keep pa...
Author's note: I feel rather proud of myself for managing to keep this story under the traditional forty-thousand-word lower limit for a novel -- if only by a little. As always, I've taken the time to lay the groundwork for the characters and story, and I hope you'll find the payoff worth it. MB "Good morning, Montana!" the obnoxious Johnny Temple bellows...
Chapter 9 Note: This is a work of FICTION! Although the areas this story takes place in are real; all of the landscapes depicted, the people described, and everything else this story uses to make it enjoyable reading for you are NOT REAL. As you read this story, try to remember: THIS IS A NOVEL! 31. Patricia and Stephano Get Married. After speaking to...
This story is a bit wordy and fairly long, so if you are looking for immediate gratification, you might want to look elsewhere. The following story is a work of fiction. Any resemblance between these character and events and any real person or events is strictly coincidental . . . and pretty darn impressive seeing as it is a science fiction story. Do not re...
It was Tuesday morning about ten o'clock when Barb's telephone rang. She put down the armload of dirty towels from the previous weekend's party and answered. "Hi Barb, it's Katherine. How are you?" "Oh, hi Katherine. I'm great! I've been doing laundry and picking up the place, so your call is a welcome break." Katherine chuckled. "Sounds familiar. I want...
A big thank you to Steve 150177 for his work reading and re-reading. His honesty has been unbelievably helpful. I know the finished product is much better for his input. Willieone- the support is inspiring. A note to all who leave a message, I really do appreciate the time. I look forward to knowing if you like it, hate it, or don't understand. As always...
The usual disclaimers apply, any sex portrayed is between adults 18 or older. Be forewarned, this story is longer than usual, though I've used an actual event as the launching point all characters and places are a figment of my imagination. I've been criticized of late because I will at times use asterisks instead of parentheses, I do this to highlight a t...
