On the plane, we took to come back to Italy, there was another mixed couple like us: he was Italian, and she was from Moscow. They had the seats close to ours, just on the other side of the corridor. So we started to talk, and we became friends. They too had come to Moscow for the New Year, to visit the parents of hers. And they too lived in Tuscany, close t...
Greetings once again, readers. I realize this chapter came very fast. Don't ask me how it happened. I do not know. I started this chapter and it kinda ran away with me. I wrote most of it over the last weekend. Bottom line...It would be better if don't get used to it. The way my luck runs, I'll be back to my normal snail's pace here again, eh? (With apologie...
Chapter 3 I saw Emma again only a month after our initial meeting in Los Angeles. After I got back from the ACM Conference, I briefed my boss and colleagues on the papers I'd attended and my recommendations. After some further research, we realized there was some seminal work on relational databases being done by Larry Ellison at Ampex Corporation in Redw...
Do I really need to describe our village in the Kaatskills? I think not, for Diedrich Knickerbocker said it all when he told the tall tale of my ancient relative Rip. Not that I'm closely descended from Rip, quite distant in fact, but then us Van Winkles are an extensive tribe, at least in the these mountains. Now, life in these parts being generally dull,...
Thale sat alone in his room and brooded. The brooding came easy – too easy. With Adoran and Enriquah both gone – off to hunt the Liminal Knight known as 101g – he was left board the Victrix, once more climbing up the Chain. Slow. Stately. Plodding. Cloying. Claustrophobic. Thale's palm rubbed against his face and he hissed his frustration as his tail lashed...
The year is 2069. It's late December, right after Christmas... "Don! How are you my friend? Get yourself some new wheels?" "Mikey! I'm great, buddy. No, it's an old one my dad used. Nice though. Got a handbrake, and it folds up slicker than shit." Don shuffled over to the dusty old kitchen table in Mike's sunroom. He held on tight to his rolling walker as...
Paper Chase Denise kept standing for a few moments after Gabriel's car had turned into the main street. Finally she gave in to the undeniable truth that she had to play along in the voice-owner's mean little scheme. "Jerk...!" She slung the strap of her handbag over her shoulder and got into gear, stumbling occasionally on the poorly maintained back all...
This is a slow burn novella that I hope will come to me faster than my other story. This is just a foundational chapter introducing the plot and characters. This story will eventually include themes of exhibitionism, twincest, multiple configurations of group sex including homosexual encounters, flashbacks to rape and abuse as well as incest. If none of this...
Big Mama asked me: "Are you gonna have a problem with killing a friend of yours?" "Depends on which friend." "A Yakuza gang member on the management fast track." "It's not a woman, is it? I've got enough contracts out on me without the government getting in on the act." The Government of Greater Good frowns on killing females, but men are fair game. "C...
June 10 11:20 p.m. Detective Robert Pearson looked away from the two-way mirror and glanced at his partner. "So, what do ya' think?" Detective Jeremy Alveraz shook his head slowly as he gazed through the mirror. "She's hard to read. She's very calm, I'll give her that." He paused and squinted as he leaned toward the glass. "Does it look like she's smirking...
