Along with Elsbeth, Amy spent the evening and the next morning in preparation for Judge Blake's arrival. With the measurements that she'd taken, Arn had a decent shirt and a pair of pants which fit -- more or less - to begin with, but Elsbeth had proven to be a very handy and knowledgeable seamstress in her way, so Amy was pleased with how he looked. Elsbeth...
"You'll be paid five dollars a week, with room and board." The Lord of the House led him down a maze of dirty corridors. They passed doors lying off their hinges, and some barely affixed. The plaster was falling from the walls in places, oil lamps left carbon stains on the low ceiling. In short, the place was a dump. But that wasn't to say it was beyond repa...
Delays, delays, delays. I've edited, re-edited, and re-re-edited this segment so many times now. Pretty sure I've caught as many errors as I'm going to at this point. I'm also tried a new submission method. Rather than submitting a word file, I'm sending it via plain text and formatting tags. Hopefully it comes through okay, but the main reason I'm doing thi...

A faint frown of concentration crossed Debbee's beautiful face as the eighteen-year-old carefully applied her lipstick, running the small, salmon-pink tipped tube across her full lips until they were bathed in moist colour. Pressing her sensuous lips briefly together, Debbee's slim fingers took the maroon lip pencil from the table before her and began to pai...
***I don't suppose that you really NEED to, but if you don't follow my work, it might help to read "The Smoke-Girl & her Northern Ghost" for a bit of background on Gunnar. If it helps, this is set about 983AD. Louhi is the name of a powerful witch out of Finnish mythology, also known as the Mistress of the North. She is the inspiration for the protagonist'...
Part 1: Meeting He was 48 and suddenly single. He had known their marriage was increasingly unhappy but he thought there was still love there. He didn’t realise until the lawyers were involved just how far he and his wife had drifted apart, and by then it was too late. On the positive side there was little acrimony and the financial arrangements had been a...
The dying man got dressed. Not that dying was going to be very hard, Bill Carter thought with a weak thread of his old humor. Easier than dressing, at least. Pain hampering every move in his hands and wrists, he managed to zip and button his heavy parka. A thick wool cap was forced over his head and ears, and he pulled the hood of his coat over it all. He e...
(Hey all, we're almost up to 100 stores on lit! For number 100 I'm dropping something BIG and then I'll be going on a long sabbatical. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of God of Whores!) It was a strain, but Pericles kept his word. He'd done so much fucking to train and then fucked the elites so damned hard that it was much more challenging than he thought i...
Pam and Alex sat together on the bed, the former watching television, the latter on her phone. It was their last night at the hotel. Some of the teachers at the conference had organized a group outing earlier in the night to a nearby restaurant for dinner and drinks, as a farewell of sorts. Pam had gone along, but Tanya had been unable to. "I have a date,...
