It had been three months since their affair had ended, so Charlotte hoped she and Ralph could manage to pass the two-day conference without too many uncomfortable silences or awkward breaches of professional etiquette. She had a back-up plan (a headache; a fast train home) if his puppy eyes became unbearable, but for the sake of her career, she wanted to sti...
*Author's Note: Any and all persons engaging in any sexual activity are ate least eighteen years of age. A flash story. And quite a dark one at that. You've been advised. ***** The first day of the high school reunion for the McKenna High School Class of '95 had just gotten underway. Michael Bae smiled at Trish Hayes as she manned the sign in table, much...
Using Evy is a true, but an exaggerated narrative. I am hopeful that you will decide to comment on my work. It is the only way I am able to improve my writing. Especially grammar. Thanks in advance. Evy and I met at a large teaching hospital in Colorado. We are both registered nurses. She wanted to date me and so asked me out numerous times. I was reluctan...
I'm a normal guy with an inclination to adventure. When I graduated college I had no idea what I was going to do. Then I saw an advertisement promising an adventurous career. Teach English abroad in Thailand. I had no money; I was lucky that the school paid for the airfare and provided a place to stay. I was ecstatic, a dream come true a life full of travel...
When I was twenty-years-old I moved from a small town to a big city to go to university. I was living in a dorm and had never had a girlfriend, and had only ever kissed a girl once. One night, I went out drinking with friends and dorm-mates, and I was "picked up" by a twenty-nine-year-old named Christa. At 5'10", she was a couple inches taller than me, and s...
I woke to an empty bed. I was getting used to that. Again I found Ivy and Lilith downstairs in the kitchen preparing breakfast. I hesitated outside the doorway, eavesdropping on their conversation. It was the reporter in me. "Are you sore?" Lilith asked her daughter. "A little," the girl I had deflowered answered. "But I suppose that's to be expected." "...
My wife and I are both Marines. I am twenty-six, and she is twenty seven. I was wounded six months ago by an IED and am healing at home on detached duty. I am now finishing therapy and learning to use my leg again. She is still on active duty and just re-enlisted for another four years. She serves with a transportation unit in Afghanistan, and it is her seco...
Why is it that the women with the biggest and most beautiful butts tend to have the most attitude? Seriously, one has to wonder. The first time I spotted Mira Nazeem I went to the graduate student lounge to make a copy of a document and fax it to the social services department. I had never been to the graduate lounge, being a third-year undergrad and all. To...
I must surely be the luckiest guy on Earth… Four years ago, I married Diana, a beautiful Vietnamese woman. She stands a sweet 5'1", has a gorgeous face, and a lovely body. Her hair is mid-back length and black with highlights, and her makeup is always perfect. She takes great care in her looks, and she visits the salon once a week for a hair touch-up and a...
This is a true story of a trip to Myrtle Beach with my friends in the summer just after finishing high school. Names have been changed. *** "This is it; we're here," Brian's voice crackled over the walkie talkie we were using to chat between cars. This was summer 2000, and while several of us had cell phones, they weren't always reliable in the rural Caro...
