Reviews & Essays

Author's Note: When I first published this (I hope) slightly humorous little paper, it was just to answer some ill-informed anonymous critic, and explain to readers why I used the words I did in my stories. Little did I realise that it would raise more feedback from further afield than all of my stories put together! I've had comments from people from the U...

Hey Buddy can you Spare a Dime

by Bakeboss on Sep 17, 2017
Non-Erotic

Every day we read headlines and hear news, scarier than anything M. Night Shyamalan could dream up for our entertainment. Whether it's a new terrorist threat or a coastline ruined by the foolish oil industries who can't control their wells. While many financial empires are teetering, others have already fallen off into the abyss. We curse our enslavement to...

Sci-Fi & Fantasy

June 17, 2032. Father’s Day. A time of reflection for some and celebration for many. For me, it’s a time of angst. You see, my father and I have a complicated relationship.

A Turkish Christian Woman

by Samuelx on Sep 14, 2017
Erotic Couplings

As I walk through the halls of the University of Ottawa in the Canadian Capital, I see a lot of Arab guys with White girls. I shake my head, and shudder. Why am I doing this? Am I some of racist? Am I intolerant? Far from it. In fact, I could tell you a thing or two about real intolerance. My name is Mona Bagis, and I'm a Turkish Christian woman who recently...

The Hijacking of Global 7749

by Dinsmore on Sep 12, 2017
Romance

Ken Taylor had pulled the call button in spite of the terse warning from the flight attendant not to do so. He was at the very back of the giant 747---the cheap seats that his company always seemed to acquire at a deep discount. Something had occurred at the front of the airplane. The first class passengers had been flushed from their upscale seating. There...
