Few people realize how hard it is to be a witch, Clarisse mused as she stirred her potion. Who could afford eye of newt at today's market price? Not to mention her chants and trances took time, she couldn't possibly work full time and perfect her craft. The old red brick-walled kitchen bounced a pungent steam around the room. Clarisse breathed in the scent...
(It took a while a long while before I could think of something a little more interesting than my last story. There is no sex in this first chapter.) .... Many stories begin with an angry demon, who lives in a dark and dirty cave, who probably can't control him or herself. He or she may have no shame, or may be hideous with extra additions that would be se...
'Gr-ry!' said Chelsea and startled Gary by hugging him tight from behind when he was peering at the park from the alley. He swallowed his heart back down his throat. 'Shh..' he said. 'I think that same guy is here again.' Chelsea peeked over his shoulder and he had to will himself to ignore the nice soft pressure against his back and pointed at the front of...
It was a Halloween to remember. I was in my senior year of high school. As with any other holiday, my family was going all out. My dad went through the house trying to scare us with his gags in his zombie costume. My sister Sarah at 16 wasn't into it as much as the rest of us but mostly did it for my parents' sake. Her 24D boobs were squeezed into her Tinke...

Any similarity to any persons living, loving or otherwise - well - you know who you are. * * * * * The Twelve Lays of Xmas Seven Swans A-Swimming Nobody was around very early the following day, but I actually had...
Nik quickly composed himself, breathing in deep, making sure to remain calm. "So Gale knows my secret past. It is okay. I never did anything illegal. No one else knows it. But I made a pact with Michelle and Valerie to always be truthful to one another, always sincere, even if it was negative or would create a problem." Running a hand through his hair, Nik...
Time to introduce the male protagonist of this thing. A rather humble and unpretentious sort, but he's real. He'd say 'Damn' if he was mildly surprised, and a whole lot more if the situation called for it. He's stoic. He's sparse. He's even cheap though not to a fault, and above all, our guy here is pragmatic. He makes up rules of thumb as he goes through li...
Halloween has always been a festive time for the residents of Blair Bluff Estates. It was one of the few times that the entire addition participated in the events. Kids could go door to door trick or treating, and the adults gathered at someone's house for a large block party. A few years back, the high school and college students started having a party of t...
Megan and Jessie #4: Sleeping Beauty Part 1 * I was lost in my thoughts as I sat around during our drama club's meeting. It's a small club, just a few of us girls who needed a few extra credits. Now of course I'm not usually one for being out on stage, but I was sort of the director in the group, so it worked out. I was comfortably only dealing with the ba...
Azalea Ortega was what they called a polymath. Any endeavor she undertook, she mastered quickly, and she undertook much. No doubt she would have made a fine doctor or lawyer, and wealth was all well and good, but there were lots of ways to come by wealth, and she was a woman of simple needs. Or, at least her material needs were simple. She wanted excitement,...
