I left the apartment at my usual time and pulled out of the parking lot onto the street. I turned and headed down Cortez to the stop sign at Monte Vista and then hung a left. Twenty minutes would have me at work and if it was a normal Friday and the day had no surprises I would be able to leave work early and head for the lake. I had the tent and the rest of...
Daphne Moon lifted her head off the hotel room pillow and looked at the digital clock on the bedside table – its large green numerals flashed 6 am. "4 hours to go" Daphne whispered to herself. The past couple of weeks for Daphne had flashed past in a blur and had also been the most eventful and life changing of her whole life. She had posed for her first nak...
Chapter 19 - In Flagrante Delicto Crystal was walking around the other girls' condo with her cell phone to her ear. Occasionally, she'd ask whomever was on the phone a short question.

I'd like to give a continued thanks to Lastman416 for his advice and recommendations. The sight of a police squad car parked in front of Riley's house had become an odd ritual. He had more than repaired his relationship with the local law enforcement, but somehow, life continued to find ways to bring them to his door on official business. Riley sat with D...
She awoke slowly, her eyes blinking a number of times trying to adjust to the level of light in her bedroom. Her body felt wonderfully warm and snug against the silk sheets of her bed, under the covers that she was very reluctant to throw back and get up to meet the new day. She raised her head from the softness of her pillow, letting her eyes glance at the...
Gabriela unveiled her hood as she approached the tent pitched in the dark. The wind was howling—swaying the enemy flags through the crisp, ebony air. The snap of tent flaps flickered warm firelight glow into the barren, snowy plain. The Royal basecamp was in the heart of Barbarian territory.

*Being dead is wonderful; you never get tired and you have all the time in the world to regret how you ended up this way* Thank you Frontma for inspiring me to keep writing so she can polish off the rough edges. (Yes, this tale is supposed to be somewhat humorous and outrageous too. While not always comedic, I'd like to think it is mostly a good-natured ro...
