"Drinking isn't going to fill this empty space" thought Maxine disconsolately. Her mind, still starkly etched with the black despair that had shrouded her since yesterday, wandered from the dinginess of the bar in which she sat. Slow drowsy blues music filtered through cheap speakers above the bar, settling over her straight bourbon like a spider's web. Thic...
* * * * * Click Here to listen. (15 min/mp3) * * * * * A young woman stepped into the crowed restaurant. It was like any other chain family restaurant on a Saturday night. The waiting area was full of disgruntled patrons waiting for a table. It was cluttered mostly with families and dating couples and she had to push her way past many of them to get to th...
The thing is, we had gone over there to play bridge. Yes, bridge. The same game old ladies play in the parlor on Sundays. I don't even know how to play bridge. I remember when my wife, Anna, told me about it. "We don't have any friends," she said. I didn't even look up from my book. "We have plenty of friends," I mumbled. "There's Steve, Nick, Andy... Jane...
I seem to have an affliction that causes me to enjoy seeing the love of my life been taken in the biblical sense. No not just taken, but taken with the full blessing of myself, my other half and I may add, absolutely enjoyed by all. I later found that the chaise was also a major part of the game. Many of my Partners, (and there have been a few), were very s...
Kelly walked seductively out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her gorgeous buxom body. Her strawberry blonde hair was still damp from the shower. She walked slowly over to the mirror allowing the towel to drop freely to the floor and starred to admire her gorgeous figure in the mirror. At thirty four, she was just as attractive as she was in her...
As we prepared for our evening out, Gail and I were not really looking forward to it. We didn't go out much since our children were born and had become use to our evening in enjoying each other's company. Whenever we where invited to friends or family it always seemed an imposition on our time, but we normally ended up enjoying ourselves. But this particula...
The sky is a murky grey outside, and you can hear the sleet outside as it patters against the gym windows, like tiny ball bearings scattered from the heavens. The wind howls like banshees through the gaps in the old building's windows. Most of the camp is on leave now, "just a skeleton crew left," you think to yourself. You start to pace around the gym, tryi...
John woke slowly in the thick black night, yawning quietly and wondering why he was up so early again. For almost a full week now he had been waking hours before the alarm was poised to pull him out of sleep. Waking up in the middle of the night like this was bothersome, but it wasn't the only problem he had, far from it in fact. For some unknown reason, Joh...
Andy looked out his window, the woman was still out there? He saw her earlier and didn't think too much of it, just another hooker most likely. The neighborhood was not exactly what anyone could call safe, which of course meant affordable rent and Andy was between jobs. He had spotted her earlier for the second time, down the block a short distance, not do...
The crowd filled the club to overflowing, bodies packing the space. The din was almost deafening, a thousand voices all laughing and talking. I chose the path of most resistance and pressed on to the bar. I ordered a Jack and Coke and turned to survey the room, my bored gaze briefly scanning faces and moving on. Suddenly, I stopped and backtracked, touching...
