First On. Closest to. First in. For the uninitiated this translates to First On (the green), Closest to (the pin) and First in (the hole). This is 'friendly game' usually played for nickels or quarters because by the sheer logic of the game of golf it will balance out, more or less, over 18 holes. That is, it will balance out unless one player is clearly sup...
You come home tired from a long day at work, your body aches and your feet feel like lead, You open the door and can hear the faint sound of music coming from the living room, shuffling your feet, you pull off your tie and unbutton the top buttons of your shirt, rolling your thick shoulders as you make your way through the house. Entering the living room t...
April walked into the exam room with trepidation and excitement. She liked seeing Dr. Wexler because there was something in his eyes that comforted her, but she hated to see him because she was so ill and was too young to be so ill. She was only 24. April felt that he would agree with that assessment; his deep, mesmerizing voice often spoke with a tinge of s...
How my wife and I could have gotten into such a thing would have been beyond me if not for the odd chain of events that had led up to where we were now. My wife Sherry had been less than faithful a year or so ago, bringing us close to divorce with a short separation. During that time we both had a lot to think about; she with her brief affair and I with my...
Often we fall into behavior patterns that are initially useful but over time become problematic. This is the case of my Tuesday night group of men who are trying to start families. Few women realize how very deep-seated the fear of getting a girl pregnant can be. Most men are conditioned from early adolescence to avoid impregnating their girlfriends. The...
Anyone who tells you that married life is hard must be part of a straight couple that survives on vanilla sex once every two months or so. I love being married, I get to live out all my wildest fantasies and adventures with the man I love; just over a year ago I married my brother (I could explain why right now but that's a whole other story), but because I...
I got home from work and was strolling down the corridor towards my unit when I first noticed her. It would have been pretty hard not to notice her. She was standing in the corridor almost dancing on the spot, looking at the open door of the unit opposite mine. I'd heard that there were new tenants in that unit but had never met them. It seemed as though I...
Just a little flash story for the Summer Lovin' event. After proofreading it became apparent that the clichés had hijacked the story. This is my fiftieth story. Some seem to be popular, and then there are the others. Regardless of the outcome, I've enjoyed attempting to entertain. To my supporters, a big Thank You. Please read my profile for my stance on c...
Lessa combed her hair and stared at the letter from her Grandmother's lawyer. The note was three weeks old and was informing her of her inheritance of her Grandmother's house. Nova Scotia was hours from Lessa's busy life, but the lawyer was insisting she had to come and sign the papers for the old A frame house in Asheland. Growing up Lessa remembered the le...
Hey everyone, Averagejoe here. If you haven't read the previous chapters, I highly recommend doing so. This is almost a part 2, continuation of the original story. Rest assured, I have plenty more to write. I've also got several other projects I'm working on, so stay tuned and show some love. AverageJoe ***** Shuddering in bliss, I dropped into the hot wa...
