As we waited in line for the lift to the top of the snowy mountain, I bent down and undid one of the straps on the snowboard that held it in place so I could maneuver a little easier. I did the same to yours since you refused to try again after the numerous falls from earlier that night. We help each other forward and were lifted up by the chair that would c...
While all eyes focused on the barbarian horde advancing towards the small town of Graesol, Chala watched the expressions of the men around her, the mercenary group that she now traveled with. They were riddled with fear; she could tell by their wide eyes and slack jaws. Some were even visibly trembling. Her dark green lips rose in an odd little grin. Since h...
(This is an entry in the Christmas stories contest. If you enjoy the story, please vote and comment.) Santa must love me because I've never had such a young, nubile present in all my life. It was the day before Christmas and the sky hung over my house as black as cast iron. A bitter mix of snow and sleet hissed through the leafless trees in my front yard...
My name is Chromie. I know this is an odd name for some, but for a person that's been as many places, seen as many things. Time , places and names mean little to nothing. Why else would I speak in such broad terms of infinite if I was not just that. For some, they see a cute, petite little gnome with silver hair entwined in those little buns at the sides of...
I will state up front that this is part of my therapy. I will likely never again encounter a Cinco de Mayo without thinking of her. The "her" of whom I'm speaking of is my ex-wife Laura. It was on that day that our marriage of seven years was shattered, never to be put back together whole. It was a day that confirmed a marriage of deceit and lies - one that...
Please leave comments for me. Thank you! (Diolch.) ***** Vadya climbed out of the saddle, looking warily at the people standing at the top of Castle Sietter's steps. All around him, the sunny cobbled courtyard was full of the van H'las retinue dismounting and Sietter servants taking their horses' reins or going to give a hand to H'las servants unloading p...
Gloomier about the Christmas holiday than usual, Brian picked out toys for his niece and nephew and then checked them off the 'Santa's list' that his sister kindly provided. 'Thirty years old and I'm out buying presents for other people's kids instead of my own. What's my problem?' All he ever wanted was a family like the one he grew up in -- a couple of...
Christa giggled a little as we walked through the store. "Everyone is staring at you," she whispered conspiratorially. "Are you sure?" I replied, arching my eyebrows and squeezed her shoulder, "Seems to me you're the one with the most to check out." She giggled again, "Well maybe it's both of us then." What was left unsaid was that the reason other shoppe...
I woke with the realization that even a night's sleep didn't cure the ugly feeling I had in the pit of my stomach. Dick and I had shared an incredible physical experience. Sex with him was spectacular. But I'd allowed him to become attached to me emotionally. I didn't recognize the fact that since his wife left him he was missing the emotionally attachment o...
Author's Note: DG Hear, MistressLynn and myself are doing a mini writing invitational. We are each picking one song from Ray Price and using it as the basis for a story. I've picked "City Lights," DG Hear, "For the Good Times," and MistressLynn (aka MissLynn), "That's All That Matters." I decided to also do, "A Girl in the Night." We hope you enjoy the sto...
