The idea of secrecy was one of the central tenets of the Lodge. Every woman that came had to agree to that. Strict rules regarding contact with the outside world, a ban on posting any social media that could be traced back to the Lodge or any of the other guests, and no discussing it in public. When girls wanted to invite someone, they needed to carefully ap...
"So engineering?" asked Cindy after she took a swig from her bottle. "You're going to design cars or something?" Cindy and I sat at a small booth in a ramshackle restaurant not far from campus. In my reality, a Starbucks stood on this site, but here it was a quaint, if not a bit dilapidated, bar and grill apparently popular with the university's students....

11. Sharing Mary wasn't going to leave until after Aiden woke and could leave as well. She came downstairs a little after eleven in the morning, expecting that the rest of the gathered company would be gone, except for Caroline. She was a bit surprised to hear voices coming from the drawing room. "Honestly, I think I'm hopeless." Mary recognized Veronica a...
The cold air bit into Mark's cheeks, he lifted the lapels on his coat higher up in a vain attempt to stop the chill wind. He lowered his head and walked a little quicker the allure of a warm glass of single malt whisky spurring him on. It was November and autumn had come on in all its glory over the weekend, one morning the leaves were green and the sky a da...
Well, a very nice surprise has come along. A very old girlfriend has invited me over to her place in Norfolk for "an interesting very long weekend" in 10 days time. Instructions are to follow. The last time that we spent together was more than interesting and definitely explored some new experiences for me, and also for her. And it is some of this that I wil...
The afternoon before Mandy's birthday, on a hot day in late July...she sat at home studying the clock...only eight more hours to go and she would be free to do as she pleased. Her mother had planned a birthday party that evening with cake, ice cream and family...the same kind of birthday party that she'd been planning for her for years. For fuck's sake, sh...
The far corner of the country cemetery was heavily over grown. Fruit trees, almost barren in their neglect, arched their twisted branches over what might once have been hedgerows. The air was heavy with the scent of jasmine, which knotted its way into the uplifted boughs. Late summer grasses, golden and grown to hip height, waved their flag like seed heads i...
1. A witch stands before the mouth of a cave. She's making ready to go in. It's not a large entrance; a jagged diagonal crack in the cliff face. She'll have to stoop and turn herself sideways to get through there. It's supposed to open up quite a bit, once you're in. Not immediately—you have to go pretty deep. When you do, the cave gets huge. So she's bee...
Sometime in the night, we shifted positions. Usually, I slept flat on my back, Jessie's inconsequential weight atop my torso, her head either pressed into my shoulder or turned flat on my pecs. Tonight though, we'd been so worn out we'd only made it half there, and without that familiar ritual, I'd shifted away from her and then rolled back, spooning her fro...
