Hi everyone! My name is Mari Jo, but my friends call me MJ for short. I am a white woman who grew up in a small southern town where racial tensions were still high even in 2014. My parents were no exception. Although they never broadcast it in public, I was well aware of their prejudices. Luckily I never inherited their prejudices - though I can't say the...
Continued from Chapter 4. Please read earlier chapters to get the context. Manisha was sound asleep after her brief interlude with Kishanchanji this morning. However, the comparison between Kishanchanji and me were playing in my head. I wondered if she praised Kishanchanji only to make him feel better?

Archimedes returned to real space, not with an elegant blink but in an explosion of hot gasses. Trailing fire it shot through the void, damaged sensors peering about, lenses glinting in the fierce light of the nearby star and the sharp illumination of its binary partner.

When she was stranded at the destination, he kept her company for a while, a...
Since I travel a lot I have trouble holding onto anyone, male or female, for any type of long-term relationship. And as usual, I've been single again for a few months now. Each time I'm in a new relationship they seem to be lasting fewer and fewer months than they used to last. I've been with both women and men and love both sexes, and love sex with either a...
I am sitting in the dark, breathing in and out, slowly, with a man I do not know seated directly across from me, hoping he will hypnotize me into forgetting about my broken heart. How I wish with all of my heart, all the broken pieces, that this will work. I have tried conventional and unconventional means - psychotherapy, acupuncture, keeping busy, working...
