Raphael Dorval leaned back on his chair inside the Carleton University library, sighing deeply. The last day of July 2012 and he was still a thousand dollars short for the classes he wanted to take come September 2012. He was going to have to hustle in the month of August, for real. Life wasn't easy in the City of Ottawa these days, if it ever was. The big a...

I was sitting in my Bark-a-Lounger in the dark. I was sipping on a bottle of cheap whisky when I heard my door knob turn. I picked up my service revolver off the end table and waited.

That's why, well, I wish people would stop being surprised when I tell them that I am a Merman. Apparently, in the minds of some i...
"Don't say anything," Warrick said, unchaining the door briefly and then closing it and sliding the chain home behind them. He'd heard the key in the lock before he was even undressed from work. "I mean it, I don't want to hear, well, anything." His voice was low, urgent, tired. He moved back into his living room without turning on a light. The only illumin...
I was watching an episode of CSI: NY when the doorbell rang. How rude was it to interrupt the best show in the history of TV? Grumbling to myself, I plumped my tub of ice cream on the table loudly and meandered to the door. I swung the door open, ready to glare at the person behind it, when I saw- right in front of me- the hottest, most handsome guy I had...

Act IV: Panties In the morning I awake refreshed, despite the fact that it seems as if the whole night through I've dreamt of panties: t-bars, g-strings, thongs, briefs, bikinis, hiphuggers, no-shows, and boy shorts -- mounds of the things piled high, a veritable smorgasbord of women's underwear, filmy fabric raining down from the sky like manna.
