iv. It was eight o'clock in the evening and Ofelia was watching television with her brother and her Mom in the living room of their apartment. Dominga, Ofelia's Mom, was standing behind the couch, running a brush through her daughter's long dark hair, half paying attention to the television, half paying attention to Ofelia's hair. Manuel was sitting close...
Waking early the following morning, we were confronted with sunny, cloudless skies. It looked like it was going to be a great day for riding. Getting into our riding gear, we unloaded Liz's new trike and Cody's Road King. Liz was grinning ear to ear, still excited about her new ride. I decided to try my hand at being a passenger, hopping on behind her. The r...
A novel by Christopher Scott Wagoner - "Damn you," Steve said, squinting his eyes to slits "you don't belong here. I'm going to to get rid of you, no matter how much it hurts."

The car swept up to the entrance to the Diablo Club and stopped. Alex and Jennifer now totally composed but for the faint red blush on Jennifer's cheeks, alighted and walked into the entrance of the imposing building.

Several heavily armed men in combat fatigues wearing high tech, night vision, goggles a...
I'm waking up; I can't tell you how long I was out. Lying nude in a cushioned chair, I catch short glimpses of my surroundings. I quickly close my eyes blocking out the intense, bright, light. I'm light headed, unable to distinguish shapes and sound clearly; my fucking head hurts. My body feels like it's being crushed under its own weight by the Earth's grav...
Six years ago, I was doing well enough to finally afford my dream apartment. It was a studio apartment on the upper side of town. So, I had the job, the apartment, the money... but I was lonely. Very lonely and very horny. Not only would I get all hot and bothered from looking at all of the pretty women at work, but there were also plenty of hot women who li...
6:33am. The clock is fucking ticking. I'm no closer to completing my mission now than I was last night. The sun hasn't even come up on the streets of Atlanta and my day has already turned to shit. Everything has went wrong, horribly wrong. At the moment it looks like I'm fucked in more ways than one. James Coldburn has eluded me and I'm clueless where he's...
"Oh, Sam, look! It's a puppy!" Young Sam's tenth birthday party had been going exuberantly with other young aristocrats stuffing their faces with cake and ice cream (All Jolson's best) and Purity and Willikins genially maintaining a semblance of order among the guests. But now it was time for presents. The first two came as rather a surprise, being marked,...
