After over twenty years childhood sweethearts Rachel and Bob are brought together again by COVID-19. Will it be a case of happy ever after or will fate tear them apart once more? Do they still feel the same about each other now they are 30 somethings? This is a very last minute entry in the COVID-19 competition so I don't expect it to do well. I don't go in...
I stared over my laptop at my mirror. While Joe, my boss, quietly read my report, I stared at my new haircut. Hmmm. I'd had the same style since I was a child. Straight to the shoulders, no bangs, probably the average haircut for a first generation Korean-American overachiever. To celebrate my 30th birthday, however, I'd chopped it. Pixie style. Still dutifu...
So It is the year 2020 and things are going fine. On the run-up to this year, everyone was joking about a new flue like a virus in China that shared its name with a make of Beer. The Coronavirus or COVID 19. It was all fun and games until it started spreading out of China as tourists brought it back to countries such as Italy. You were concerned but hoped it...
It wasn't just jealousy, concern on my own behalf that stole my peace of mind. I had fears for Akemi. She'd been reading a book, a novel, "Out," by a Japanese writer, reading it in English for practice, aloud to me sometimes for help with pronunciation. One chapter depicted a vicious rape. The details were horrific and titillating. The rapist had targeted hi...
It turned out Akemi was fine, maybe just a little hung over from the night before. She didn't have COVID-19. We'd drunk more wine than usual. Our neighbor Henry stayed talking an hour and a half. We finished the bottle he'd brought. I'd talked to Henry about a course Akemi was in after she and I got close- our connection was a secret then from the other st...
I had been feeling under the weather but since everything had started getting into the doctors office was not an easy task. I had been staying at a friends house since i got kicked out of my mom and step dads for not "following the rules" there was more to it but that's for another time... Having had a sore throat sucked and with all the covid scare my fri...
A bit different: This is meant to be a catalogue of college experiences, embellished a bit, and made entertaining. I (the author) will start, anyone is welcome to add their own stories though. Hopefully this isn’t too boring, although it’s only my second story. UPDATE: This story will remain a stub until further notice. Just not enough time to waste on writi...
Tom was tired and bored. Overdose of Netflix, overdose of Call of Duty, overdose of Facebook... He tried to get his wife in the mood for sex, but she was hopelessly "exhausted" again. He ended up, as too often, frustratedly watching some porn on Amazon Sex. He kept clicking through ads like a robot, from sales of billionaire mansions to cheap eleph...
Thanks to many for the feedback on my first few stories. Decided to try another in the first person at many people's request. Hope this sounds less like a newspaper story (and yes, that is an apt description for some of my writing, I agree!) Also, being in Australia I tend to use British Australian medical terms, so for those suggesting I need a dictionary,...
Due to COVID-19 and lockdown, we hadn't had intimacy in weeks. It was now 01:00 am, and as agreed I'd turned up at your house, and entered via the back entrance. If you'd followed all of my instructions, you would have bathed, had a glass of wine to relax, and made a bed den. Almost just like sliding your head under the duvet. We hadn't had any intimac...
