My name is Stephen Simmons and although it might sound like a cliché, my life until recently was the definition of mundane. Some might feel that having a successful career, married to a beautiful woman, father to a charming, smart young adult and only 36 years young would be the cat's meow. Unfortunately, for me money is not everything and if you could think...
I want to tell you all about this dream I had. I need to tell someone, so I can hear it for myself, to see if I sound as crazy as I think I do. Because this dream, it scared the shit out of me. There wasn't anything special about that night, or the whole day for that matter. Work during the day, dinner and a couple beers in front of the tv at night. After...

"Shit, shit, shit. Don't go. I'm coming," Dawn screamed. She put on her glasses and grabbed the white cotton t-shirt that she had left at the end of her bed. She then took off down the stairs towards the front door. The pounding on the door had stopped thirty seconds earlier. Dawn was amazed at how fast she bounded down the stairs. She threw the door open a...
Rachel stirred beneath me, opening her eyes. My heart thrilled at the ready smile that touched her lips as she looked up at me. "Morning, lover," she murmured. I placed a soft kiss on her lips. "Did you sleep OK?" She nodded. "Never better." I shifted so that my body was only half-covering hers. "Me too." My stomach rumbled, and I gave her a resigned smil...
Slam goes the stockroom door. The door crashed behind Katie as she scooted her way into the stockroom, arms loaded with files. Damn, she thought to herself, reaching for the handle, locked. Cursing herself again she remembered that the door locks from the inside. "Stupid!" She muttered out loud as she threw her files to the floor. She was now locked insid...
And how do you talk to people of a love like this? So big you lose yourself entirely and have to rebuild from nothing when it all goes away. Can you ever laugh and smile and say it was just a phase? Talk normally in company; enquire innocently of their well being as though you didn't wish they were dying inside without you. Crushes and infatuations pass with...
I leaned back against the double-pane glass as I waited for my bus. I was in no particular hurry and I figured I could just ride the bus in circles to pass the afternoon; my hook up hadn't lasted as long as I'd planned for and I had a sitter so I wanted to enjoy my free time. Then he sat down beside me, his long light brown hair was pulled back into a ponyta...
Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Gail logged into her account to see what had happened in the world overnight. The message icon showed that someone had reached out overnight. Mike's name appeared with the message "15-17?" That immediately motivated Gail to get her ass in gear and get to work to check her calendar. Seeing that she didn't have anything urgent...
It had been a while since we had had wine. It used to be a frequent thing, then for some reason I had got onto beer and she had started drinking some sort of alcoholic fizzy orange juice! This weekend however, she had been shopping alone and returned with, amongst other things, a bottle of wine. Our evenings are fairly straightforward these days, put the ki...
