It never ceased to fascinate her. Every Tuesday she could, Lucy would battle three trains and heavy downtown foot traffic to spend the day at the Art Institute of Chicago. She'd get there early, just prior to opening, and would stay until they were ready to shut off the lights. This was perhaps her tenth trip, and she had yet to see the whole tremendous coll...
This is my first story and fist submission. Please give critical advice. All characters are over 18 years old. ***** As day breaks in the village of Berchtwald, a farm boy lurched from his slumber. A smile spread on his face, "Today's the day," he whispered as he started putting together his daily ensemble. He slid on his wool shirt and pants, far too exc...
Chapter 19 77. Brilliance Runs (in the family) Delicious ran from the science section, down the stairwell, and out of the spacecraft screaming, "I am smarter than my kids! My kids are not smarter than I am. I am smarter than my kids, my kids are not smarter than I am. Thank you God for giving me a husband who has been able to keep me sane, because I am rea...
"I assume we have reached a bargain, then?" Darkniciad asked. The man before him pursed his lips for a moment and his brow furrowed. He took a breath, nodded his head, and said, "It's a square deal." "Excellent," Darkni said while extending a hand. As he shook hands to seal the deal, he said, "We shall stay in touch so you know when to be ready to take del...
I don't know what to expect. They call her a Princess, but I expect her to be more like a General. She must be some kind of military leader to be in charge of such an army. Several hundred women serve under her command. Her single order could move a thousand horses, dozens of wagons, not to mention all their tents, food, and provisions. When they attack, the...
Transcendency 2: Chaos These characters aren't mine, well, Gabriel is, but he's about the only one. Okay, just some considerations. I'd stalled on something to follow up with Transcendency, and I'm a bit fan of a lot of the Image Comics stuff. So if you've seen John Carpenter's Vampires and are familiar with Image Comics lines The Darkness, Tomb Raider, Wit...
Hey guys! Back with another chapter of BTB! Again, I'd like to thank you guys for all the awesome emails and comments on the previous chapter. Keep 'em coming! Much love, Lily xoxo When Lady Madison received the letter, she collapsed onto the nearest settee. It couldn't be, she thought. Not her son, not James! This had to be some sort of cruel joke! Bu...
Chapter 13: THE LIBRARIAN It was my agent's idea that I write the article, and although at the time I thought he'd simply lost his mind, or confused me with another of his clients, in retrospect I have to be eternally grateful to him. You'll probably understand why my initial reaction was what it was when I tell you that the proposed article was to be on t...
Another "Heartland Tale", with a nod to "Heartland" creator and Literotica author Trisha Monks for her inspiration and indulgence. Follow the link on my Favorites page to see her work. This is a standalone story though and may be read without the context of other "Heartland Tales" stories; however, context may be provided by reading my other stories "In an...
This story is based on the "3 lies and 1 truth" premise, where there are 4 outcomes. Three of these outcomes did not occur. They are from my own personal fantasies of what might have occurred. Only the Prologue and one of the outcomes are true. I leave it up to the reader to decide which outcome is the real description of events. Feel free to comment and vot...
