Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Nine: Fallout In the end, it was decided that Zevran would tackle Erlina, being the most likely to catch her if she was lying, while Aedan, Alistair, and I went to free Dougal and Loghain from their house arrest and bring them to Cailan to hear their side of the story. Both men were being guarded in rooms in a dim, slightly dingy...
Author's Note: The Story over all: I only I hope Dickens doesn't come and get me for this but the name came to me the moment I read about the winter contest and I had to do it. Destined to be 5 chapters total with one chapter devoted to each spirit of Christmas, this is not going to be short. (This charter alone is nearly 5,000 words.) So if you are looking...
The lights were off and I sat on the couch in the dark living room and stared at the opposite wall and wondered how it could possibly have happened to me. I had always thought of myself as a man. Truth be told, and I admit to some ego here, I would have considered myself a 'manly man.' As a middle linebacker I made All State in my junior and senior years in...
"The woman had no blood in her and the fact that she was also found in a rubbish bin right outside of where she worked stemmed clues for foul play as well as a sick twisted vampire wannabe scare. But when checked for further fingerprints on the woman no actual form of sexual abuse came to her, the woman was two months pregnant with a child and with her body...
I never even saw it coming. I had spotted a big Buck across the valley, and spent the better part of a day trying to get closer. The wind was wrong, but I knew the wind would die down later, it always did in these remote canyons. That would give me a chance, if I could just get within a couple of hundred yards and get a clear shot the trophy would be mine....
I wrote this story three years ago as a way to share some of my desires with my Master. Due to circumstances out of our control we currently cannot be together physically and have to instead rely on the internet as our main form of communication. I found this story while digging through my archived messages and decided it could be posted here as my first pos...
The restraints Gary used to secure me, face down, on his bed were well-worn leather restraints attached to unusually heavy chain. Once I was restrained and helpless, spread-eagle across his bed, which was stripped off all blankets and sheets except for a single, very clean white sheet underneath me that felt like it was made of tablecloth fabric rather than...
Well... I've sold your contract! WHAT!!! I've sold your contract. Remember, the bet was for 24 hours, anything asked for, no questions, done to the letter. I've sold your contract so I want you to obey your new owner just as you would me. If you don't, I'll hear about it and this whole day will be null and void and you will still owe me a day. Now before I...
I) Travel Tessa awoke to the sound of her hated alarm clock. Five-thirty a.m. was as late as she could put off her morning and still make it to work on time. Groggily, she pushed back the down comforter and spun her legs over the side of the bed. The worst part about being the boss was having to make it in early. The ends justified the means, and she though...
Maria was an "older woman" (30's) I worked with. She was from Switzerland, here in the states with her husband. I was a teenager (I think I'd turned 19 - maybe not) working in a bookstore, and she was a part timer there, mostly working for fun, to meet Americans (and practice her American English) and because she loved books. Plus her language skills made he...
