Jacquelyn Beauchamp sat at the table by the window. She watched as hundreds, thousands of people passed by on the street outside. In her hand, she held the leather bound journal that had brought her thousands of miles from her home in New Orleans. It had belonged to her great-great-great-uncle Henri. Its tale was the ultimate story of privilege, debauchery,...
It was a Saturday night and it was the same as always. The guys would come over, flop into their favorite chairs at kitchen table and play poker all night. Us wives would sit in the den, watching TV or gossiping. “My turn.” I got up and made the rounds, serving beer, emptying ashtrays and refilling the snack bowls. “You know, I don’t think I even got a n...
4 -- Friday Kim's day started earlier than expected with a jolt and the odd sensation of falling into her bed. Tangled in the sheets and sweating, vivid flashes of yesterday's activities ran like lightning through her, at once setting her mouth watering with Sylvia's flavor and chilling her with the last words the woman had said. "You came in her." A condem...
Day Eight -- Samantha (b) Samantha brushed right past me into my apartment, dragging a carry-on size "wheelie" suitcase (black, of course) behind her. After she had moved out of the way, I could see that she had arrived on a big black Harley ape-hanger hog, which was now parked in the Randolphs' designated parking space. Stepping into my apartment to speak...
The alcohol I drank earlier made me feel great. Usually when I drink I become funny and laugh. Tonight was different. I looked around the closet for something that could be used to teach the two women who got me fired from my job a harsh lesson on humility. I wasn't just giving them what they deserved for my sake, no. Those two fucked up bitches destroyed t...
I don't know how far or how long we walked until we stopped to rest. It's kind of hard to tell time or distance when your surroundings look pretty much the same whether you look back, around or ahead. All I know is that after a while, we decided to stop and rest, also because Mel was looking very much the worse for wear. She still refused to drink from eithe...
This wasn't her. No, she wasn't the most confident or strongest person, but she had never needed to depend on another person to keep her life in order. She had survived the death of her parents on her own, and she would survive this. It had gotten to be too much for her, though She had tried being strong, hoping that her mate would just snap out of it. He...
An elderly couple loves Halloween, almost as much as they love one another. Sadly and tragically, Bonnie and Andy never had children. She couldn't because of a horse riding accident that happened to her when she was young, a lifetime ago. Ironically not fair that those couples who should have children don't and those couples, who abuse their children have a...
HI! This is my first submission; the idea came to me late one night. PLEASE PLEASE give me feedback in comments, I'd love to hear it! It's a little long (I think) but I promise it gets there! XxX SunStarMoonGirl **__________________** She broke into his apartment long after he went to bed. He considered it breaking in, even if she did use the spare key he...
I was getting kind of concerned. He had been pouting around the house for two whole days now. I was used to his mercurial moods shifting quickly and was adept at reading and adapting to them as they came. However, it was very seldom that such a heavy mood came to rest upon him for so long. I knew it was my fault but I also knew that nothing I could say at th...
