Henry spent another week driving people to their destinations. He drove sleepy commuters to their jobs in the mornings and brought them back home, weary from work, in the afternoons. He drove mothers and children, and young lovers who snuggled against each other on thinly-cushioned bus seats. Of all these people, only Henry, their driver, seemed to have no d...
Grinning impishly, the girl pushes back a bit to recline in the Master’s furs, just out of his reach. “Something should definitely be done about that,” she teased, eyeing the bulge in his pants. She could see him simply smile as he sat back to watch. Stretching a bit to tease him as her flesh is exposed, she is free of everything except the golden hue of her...
Over the next few months, I managed to get into Boston a half a dozen times as a sort of bodyguard to one of the locals who ventured back into his home town to spy out what the Brits were up to. He was a fine, brave little man named Richard Backus, and although I could hardly understand him at first, we became reasonably good friends, as much as you can be f...
"Lisanne, wake up!" The voice alone didn't quite wake her, but the combination of the voice and the sliver of bright light allowed to escape from the lantern directly on her face did the trick. "Whaunh?" she mumbled. "Get up and come on deck with me. We'll talk there." She had opened her mouth to recite the hangover herbs, but closed it again. Maybe Dain...
Chapter 1 Nassie swung her staff around her body, connecting with the large brute to her left. Stunned, he fell to the ground clutching his middle. Quickly Nassie swung again and again hit a brute to her side. She had been fighting for a long time, heard the shrieks of her village and seen the smoke rise. But no matter how many of the raiders she dropped mo...
He had to hurry. His footsteps echoed down the street. Had he escaped it? Well... it certainly seemed so. He leaned against a brick wall, a sigh of relief escaping him. Though not completely comfortable, he slowed down to a brisk walk, although often he found himself looking over his shoulder, and shuddering. Finally he reached his own front door. He gave a...
After quietly opening the locks, the door crashes open with a single kick. Racing in, gun in hand, I scan the rooms to either side of the hallway as I enter. Seeing nothing, I clear the hallway to see you sitting upright in a recliner, a shocked expression plain on your face. My uniform tells you I’m a cop without me having to say it, but I clarify it anyway...
Something I competed for a class. My classmates seemed to think it was good, so I decided to post it, just for kicks. ------------------------------------------------- I'm running, running for my life. Branches whip my face as I stumble up the steep incline. My sandals long gone, sticks and stones rip my feet to shreds. I gasp for breath, my side burning....
The Sky Marshals engines burned brightly through the early morning sky. Those underneath knew not of the hope the two spots of light represented and some even ran in fear, thinking only of the lights to which came before it. A silvery monster had landed only hours before spewing dark demons into the city. Slaughter was indiscriminate and every passing moment...
Arriving early, I walk into the room and immediately look for the mini-bar. Finding the tiny fridge with several small bottles of cheap zinfandel, I twist the cap off one and take a long much needed sip before kicking my heels off next to the bedside table. A king sized bed lay draped in plush white linens which is fastened against a painted on headboard h...
