He sat next to me in Computer Science every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The teacher would talk about loops and object oriented programming and all the while, half listening, he would be sitting next to me. Breathing. His presence was so entirely sexual, and I bet he didn't even know it. I'd get out of class and just be wet. Oh, Seth. Fantasies and comput...
I step out of my front door, coffee in hand, laptop case over one shoulder, purse over the other, and realize that the sun is actually up over the trees this morning. Last week I could just see the pink glow that comes right before the big ball of fire pops over the horizon. What a difference a week makes. As I get into my Prius, I spill coffee on my den...
I first met Elsie when she was about 12 years old. She was part of the Scout troop my wife was helping with. Elsie's mother was one of the other leaders. If there was anything to do with animals you would find Elsie there in the thick of things. She was almost an expert on the raising of goats, yes at 12. She had direct access to one of the college profess...

Bu...
After reading many religious books of Indian sages, I have come to the conclusion that a human always tries to find love in worthless worldly things. One goes here and there but never gets satisfaction, therefore one should try to gain it from God who never breaks our heart, never wishes evil about us, or never behaves badly towards us. He is the only perpet...
A flash story (This came to me when I was observing (at a distance) a fast paced negotiation that ended poorly for one of the sides.) "Hey Chloe, before we go down to your mothers' surprise birthday party, could you step in here for a minute?" It was my husband Mark. We've been wed for a year now and it's all good. We married right after college and with hi...
"A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke." -Kipling Fuente Fuente Opus X An after dinner smoke, content, confident, relaxed... A sip of bourbon to whet your palate, I watch you inhale, noting your deep satisfaction. You enjoy pleasure. Bidding me to stand before you, watching intently as my chest heaves with each breath. Even clothing can't hi...
