Back on Argos, Calisto shivered in fear. Having watched Demetrius be chained and taken away by the guards, she did as he had asked and stayed hidden in the quiet bush shrouded cove they had sought refuge in the night before. Waiting hours to make sure no guards were still present she spent a fitful night crouched under the palm trees, crying herself to sleep...
I posted this story on the internet back when it was originally written, but as I've revised it considerably recently, thought I'd put it up for perusal here. The original featured a disclaimer and legal ownership preface which I've excised as I am the original author and because I find reading it pretentious now, especially given the ownership I retain thro...
Halloween, ahhhhhh finally, her favorite holiday of all. She slips into her costume, smoothing the black stockings over her long legs, rubbing the bare strip just above the wide band of lace. She sighs softly, ohhhhhhhh, this will be fun tonight. She slips the gossamer gown over her shoulders, adjusting her breasts, taking the time to knead the sensitive tip...
It all began as Wendy Askew walked through her parents' game room during a party celebrating her high school graduation. Without warning, she was playfully yet soundly smacked on the bottom with a ping-pong paddle. The gentleman who administered the whack was Ted Weems, a friend of her Uncle Richie. "Hey!" Wendy cried in surprise. "Sorry, honey buns, just...
Joe Palmer pulled up into the concrete driveway beside the home of his son Damian and wife Candace. After an unbearably silent hours' drive from St. Louis that ended only ten minutes prior to reaching this destination, they made peace. Of sorts! Engine shut off Joe glances over at his daughter-in-law and fidgets, "I'll stay long enough for you to download t...
Pam and her sister, Gillian, are talking in a coffee shop. "Pam darling, you would not believe, he is so wonderful," Gilly's voice goes very high and squeaky when she is excited, "even though he is quite a bit older than me, he is so energetic especially in the bedroom," Gillian was telling her older sister Pam all about the new man in her life, "I have my...
"No good will come of this, I tell you," grumbled Fenrohir. He kicked at a stone near his feet and sent it sailing through the air and into the large, dark pool before him. With a muffled 'plop' it disappeared into the murky depths, showing little evidence of its passing on the surface of the pool. "Stop that!" cried Enduriel, catching his arm and pulling h...
Damn, she forgot her umbrella and it was pouring down rain like water out of a faucet. If she could just make a mad dash to the car, maybe just maybe, she wouldn't get too wet. She went for it. It wasn't until she got to the door she realized her keys were still in her purse. Cursing a blue streak, she fumbled around and finally got the car door open and slo...
I saw her the first time in the snow. She was walking down the main street, grey coat and black wide brimmed hat, boots covered with the slush of the sidewalk. Tiny in that great grey coat, but moving like a shadow under the streetlights, dancing to her own music. Making patterns of steps as intricate as weaving, she passed out of my sight. Months later ag...
Softly falling ( Manners: an excuse to get three dates) As he was waiting for someone else that day he almost missed her. Yet even though he had other plans he could not resist. Her eyes were what caught him. They were a green/blue and her shining red hair accentuated them perfectly. They had a confused look in them as she scanned the small café. She sighed...
