"Maybe we should all have a pill." Angus said observing Jessica with a calmness he didn't feel. She was terrified. Absolutely terrified. "Maybe." Jessica agreed. "Sean and the others." She began when silence had dragged on for too long, "Should leave. I know it's not fair to you ... it decreases our odds of fighting Earl, but Earl will follow the boys. If...
"Peter? Peter Holladay? The dentist is ready to see you now. Second one on the left, okay?" I looked up from my phone and turned on my best confident-but-cool smile, but Amy had already turned away to field an incoming call. I mooched down the hall trying not to let that sting, but when you're eighteen every time a girl doesn't even notice you're alive you...
I don't think this is how it's supposed to work. I've been at this for over an hour and still haven't gotten it right. That's what I get for trying to surprise someone with knowing how to put up a tent. The damn stupid directions weren't made for me. The t - pole goes to the right, the x - pole to the left. "Damn" I shout for the fifth time. "Baby, I'll help...
When you lick your lips and look like you're about to take my cock into your mouth, or raise your eyes at me through half closed lids and look abashed through your lashes. Or sway your hips in your "just fucked good" way. Or curl your foot under your calf and jut your hip, raise your torso to pronounce your curves. These are nothing. Just your little ways....
I'm getting ready for a date. I've waited all week for this. I take my time, enjoying the process of it, the pampering. I shower and use my nice products, shave my legs and my pussy, apply scented lotion. I paint my toenails while wearing nothing but a silk floral robe, loosely tied. I start on my makeup: a smoky eye, mascara to give me a wide-eyed look, dee...
It's a hell of a thing, knowing the Creeping Things are out there. Really knowing, I mean. Everyone knows that there are times when they're alone in a room, but they're not really alone. Everyone knows that sometimes they do things that don't really make any sense and they can't really tell you why. Everyone knows that sometimes they feel nervous or sad or a...
It was 10.25 pm, Monday, and like the proverbial memorable night in a movie, it was dark and stormy. Thunder and lightning rattled in the distance and the sound of rain falling constantly was ever present at the windows. Meanwhile, as my parents slept soundly in their room, I tiptoed my way quietly towards the servants' quarters. You would think I would be...
Karen was tired when she arrived home. She had seen just enough of the hospital and was ready to forget all of it. As a nurse she had more than her fill of responsibility. Add to that the fact that she worked the night shift of seven on, seven off in a burn unit and she was always ready to relax when the time came. At 32, Karen had already been married and...
Decision "So we didn't say anything more. We got back to his house, and I didn't really say goodbye or anything. I just kept on walking up to where I'd left my car and drove away." Melissa looked up from her unfinished bottle of beer, which had grown warm while she told Malcolm about her day with Erik. Shame and sadness tempered her voice. She did feel a li...
First let me tell you that I am not young; in my estimation, I am not good looking; I am not a hot stud; and I am not a famous character in town. Having told you these things, I must also tell you that I am one lucky guy when it comes to getting laid, blown, or finding a hook-up. This is what happened to me yesterday, January 9/08. I went to Canadian Tire...
