I saw a bumper sticker the other day that read, "I may be fat but you are ugly and I can always go on a diet." That bumper sticker made me realize that there are many not only fat but, also, ugly people out there. Sure, I see lots of fat and/or ugly people every day and everywhere I go. Fortunately, I am not fat or ugly. Thankfully, there go I before God, I...
Earth witnessed a massive meteor shower in 1950 which brought along with it extraterrestrial life, albeit as unicellular organisms, several of which crashed as meteorites in Central Asian, East Asian and South Asian countries with a few of them landing in the North and the South Americas. These single-celled organisms had a lot of similarities with viruses o...
With the help of her friends, National Nude Day gives Ruth back her memories by restoring her view. The only thing that Ruth liked about the room she shared with Dorothy at the nursing home was the view. If it wasn't for the view, she wouldn't be happy here at all. Everything was too new, too small, too white, too antiseptic, and too cheaply made. Unlike he...
The name is Steve. I'm a big and tall, openly bisexual young man of Haitian descent living in the city of Brockton, Massachusetts. My friend Wendy came by my house for a visit one Saturday night and things got kind of crazy. I liked it, though. Wendy and I go way back, folks. We met when we were both students at Bay State University in downtown Boston. Fast...
With his black robes flowing behind him he entered the Underworld furious at what the Moirae had told him. He walked into his study that was surrounded by black marble; he paced back and forth next to his stone desk. "Damn it!" Hades screamed, as he slammed his fist down on the table. The information the Moirae had given him, made him start to doubt the ques...
CH 4 - COME HOME It had been a week since Lexi had walked out of the house and out of the McCloud's life it seemed. No one had seen her and Xander had received her resignation via e-mail. She hadn't returned any calls, texts or e-mails either. Xander was lost. He couldn't remember a day that they hadn't at least spoken to each other for the last twenty yea...
"Man," I thought, "He is so sexy." I had just seen the sexiest man in the world walk into my office. I know that is a totally unprofessional observation but hey I'm only 26 and I have eyes so I'll damn well you use them. Anyway he's about 6'2, slim, pretty good build (from what I can see) classic brown her brown eyes but he's still downright Tom Cruise hands...
Gail Galloway's face was even redder than her hair. She had accidentally hit an extra 0 on the microwave, setting the popcorn to 30 minutes, before rushing back to finish her article on the new summer-movie season for Apple magazine. Had it not been for Angela Morris seeing the flames shoot out of the Sanyo, the entirety of Apple's Brooklyn offices would hav...
My name is Nancy and I have never considered myself to be beautiful, pretty, cute or even adorable. I am white and have been blessed with brains but I think I lack something in the looks department. I mean I have a nice body but I have a giant issue about my face. I don't have or have ever had a skin issue, but I just find myself to be unattractive. I date...
Please just call me Ed. I am a 51-year-old man, divorced, and out of shape. Both of those things were not where I thought I would find myself at this point in my life. I am an industrial designer whose trajectory would have, in my early 30s, led me to design cars, but my divorce and following series of steps knocked me off that route. Now my design is limi...
