Again everything else would be provided once they got there. Sheila and Jill both dressed in a nylon type flight suit type of garments and tennis shoes Sheila's in emerald green and Jill's in bri...
Suzanne loved it when Pete worked from home because sometimes, when their schedules aligned, she could be with him when he worked. She made a point to be extremely quiet when she approached his home office area, probably being more careful than needed since his headset blocked most background noise. Still, she respected his career and didn't ever want to int...
The intern was not your usual 20 year old. Mengxia looked sharp in her crisp white blouse, black skirt, stockings and heels, particularly at this tech company where casual wear was the norm. Her sharp eyes roved around the room and finally landed on me, her manager. She approached with a professional smile. "Hello Mengxia," I said, reaching out my hand, "we...
It was early afternoon when Shanta and Gary reached Caman, a trading outpost at the edge of the forest. Basically a small human settlement, it was comprised of wooden huts and various booths and stands where merchants bartered or sold their wares. It was warm and humid, and the brutal, glaring rays of the sun beat down on them. They rested under the shelte...
As a sportswriter, I travel a lot and have the opportunity to meet a lot of women. But I've never met anyone like Gina. My editor called to say he had an assignment for me, so I went in to meet with him and he told me what it was: a story on the female bodybuilding competitions. I wasn't very excited about it.

Linda awoke expecting to witness a bevy of her sorority sisters, all running around half naked laughing and giggling about their dates the previous evening. However when she looked around she saw only one naked body. It was the body of her Psychology professor, standing in front of the bathroom mirror, brushing his teeth. When she sat up in bed he looked ove...
An unsettling feeling overcomes me when the privacy door closes behind us; my mind races in a million different directions instantly. Initially, my thoughts are outside the small privacy room wondering what Rhonda and Walter are discussing in my absence. The very thought of having sex with Phil Durham utterly disgusts me, not to mention the fact he is obviou...
The grey stone building stood before Cassandra rather uninterestingly, the mock Tudor fronting grayed to some extent by years of pollution. The black paint on the door was pealing slightly. Irony had taken its turn, placing it at 23 Acacia Avenue, next to the mythical whore of Iron maiden fame. The numbers were faintly unaligned, leaning away from each other...
"Vivian... I think we've reached a stage of our relationship where I have to be honest with you and tell you the whole truth." Vivian stopped in mid-sip and placed her cola back on the disturbingly sticky McDonald's tabletop. If Sam were any normal guy, like her ex-boyfriends, she could expect to be hearing right now that he was in reality, a Mormon/Jew/Sat...
A gentle chime rang out across the craft, signaling morning for its one-man crew. In fact, the lights had been simulating dawn for quite a while already and the ambient temperature had been slowly rising. If the shades had been down, a sunny glow would be emanating from them as if Earth's sun were not lightyears away. Reed preferred a view of these far-flung...
