Joan ran up the stairs to her apartment, checking her watch and muttering, "I'm late." Arriving at her door she slipped the key in and unlocked it. As soon as it opened she ran towards the ringing phone, and picking it up she sank onto the couch. "Hello, Joan?" the voice on the other end asked. A faint smile appeared on Joan's face. "Fred darling," she...
Her life had been more like the plot of a romance novel than reality. She and John were both Greeks and both had lived on campus, the two of them were involved with so much school activity she couldn't remember what event she actually met him at. In reality she barely knew his name but when they were crowned king and queen of home coming, it just seemed natu...
Sally Ambivalent. In two minds. That's how I was feeling all day. On the one hand, my normal view of myself was that I was conservative, modest, faithful and so on, however, I spent that Saturday buying clothes to turn myself into a total slut, and I'd never felt so excited. With my second glass of Prosecco in my hand, it was time to choose which outfit to...
Olethia closed her pale blue eyes as she listened to the sound of the rain. It was a peaceful sound, one that comforted her during the lonely day. Being the Oracle was not easy, nor was it ever a choice she made for herself. She longed for a life where she could live among the people, laugh with them and love with them. The Oracle was not allowed any of thes...
Thanks for the feedback etc on Chapter 1. I admit to exploring new territory with this topic, and it is certainly outside my experience. I've just tried to imagine a couple experimenting with it and the conflicts that one of them had over and against the more willing side of the other. Obviously readers are entitled to like or dislike it according to their p...
The Chronicles of Slave Nano No.5: The Second Mission to Rescue Goddess Eostra's Magical Talismans By Slave Nano. Inspired by Goddess Nemesis I had a distinct feeling of déjà vu. Here I was again waiting by the bench on the forest path outside of the village of Polle in view of Castle Everstein, Goddess Eostra's castle, which had been usurped by the deba...
Darkness surrounded Ashriel. He'd stripped naked, bathed in the waters of the Pool of Sorrows and then knelt on the Rock of Offerings with his wings spread out as far as he could stretch them. The cold made him shiver, but he kept his eyes on the horizon. Seraphia's three moons cast a silvery path upon the calm ocean water below Mount Chielos, where the holy...
After failing my freshman year in college, for the second time, dad refused to pay for another year -- understandably so -- and told me to find a job. He refused to support "a 21-year old dead beat" and said I had six months to earn enough money to find my own place. With just a high school degree, there weren't that many jobs to choose from. As a matter of...
Neil's phone rang. Neil saw the caller's name and answered immediately. Aarav: Your toxicology reports are here. Negative. Apparently, there were no drugs found in your blood. Neil: I guess that's good news, but what caused the problem then? Aarav: Hard to say but I suspect a special kind of drug that acts quickly and washes out equally quickly from your...
Ch. 10 - The Madness of King Arthur "Hold here," Arthur said as his forces reached the edge of the woods. "What next, Sire?" Bedivere asked. "You and the men will remain here. Merlin and I shall enter Camelot undetected and see if there is any truth to Mordred's words." "Yes, Your Highness. I pray he is merely trying to spread a falsehood." "As do...
