Chapter 2 -- To Prove That I Could AN INVITATION As she erased the email passing her over for promotion again, Anne wondered why the world just wasn't fair; the game seemed to be rigged against her. It was the fourth time that a person who was less senior, and, in Anne's opinion, less competent, had been chosen for promotion over her. At age 27, Anne Bish...
The stillness of the sunset was startlingly surreal. It was as if I awoke in another place, another world separate from the real one, where the problems of my life melted and floated away on the lingering air. But even I knew, that this false reality would come to an end. All my problems and issues would reappear and everything would be as hard-if not harder...
A letter from the unemployed to Santa Claus hoping for a job. Dearest Santa Claus, I'm sorry, Santa. Maybe I asked you for too much last year, when I asked you for what I'm asking you for again this year. Since I didn't receive what I asked for last year, by asking you for the same thing again, I was hoping to receive it this year. Maybe I was expecting to...

Dear Senator John Goff, Having personally struggled with this bad economy, it's long past the time that I write you. I'm a middle-aged daughter of second generation immigrants to this wonderful land and my heart is broken by what has taken place in our country. I'm expressing what it's really been like for millions of United State's concerned and united mid...
For a few years now I have been conducting a series of interviews with authors on Literotica. This is the ninth in the series, with the author lovecraft68. He came highly recommended to me by a number of readers, and while not originally that familiar with his work, after reading a few stories I understood why people were so enthusiastic. I think you'll appr...
This is a Nude Day contest story. Please vote. Writer ponders Nude Day. Is it just about not wearing clothes one day out of the year? * Nude Day to many is the one day a year that we celebrate being naked in public. Those who cannot bear to wear nothing but skin, but who still want to celebrate the Nude Day holiday, can do so in the privacy of their home...
In our previous story (I usually do the writing but she always edits and approves) we described how the fantasy of non-monogamy had fueled our sex fantasies for over two decades. Please read the posts entitled Prologue for background. ***** I described in Prologue how she dabbled in sext play with a previous ex-boyfriend. I label him a boyfriend, but in r...
Friends with benefits is kind of a cool, detached term. When we talk about friends with benefits we're thinking of "Sex in the City" with hip and beautiful career women in a trendy and slick metropolis who don't need men for anything but sex. They're self contained and self absorbed and they need each other more than they'll ever need any man. Their friends...
Chapter 8 Ex Libris Salvatio. Do you like that? I made it up. I have no idea whether it's actually Latin, but it is my new motto. From books, salvation. Or more accurately in my case, from the library, salvation. A lot of people find solace in the library; heck, I'd found some pretty good solace in the library myself the day after Christmas. But salvation?...
