Slowly opening the large, iron door, Persephone stood face-to-face with two stunningly beautiful women, one of which she immediately recognized. "Melody... it seems you're alive," she mused quietly. "I'm not so easy to get rid of." "Apparently." Turning to the other woman, she condescendingly asked, "And you are?" "Selena. Grand Vizier to King Farzan...
On Wednesday afternoon of that same week, Greg took Jennifer to a local Laundromat so she could get some laundry done. She had volunteered to do the guys laundry as well since they were doing an interview at the local radio station that was sponsoring their concert this evening. Greg was one of the van drivers that took them around town to get things done. H...
Thanks to the Hip and Knee doctor for editing assistance. There is no sex in this story. Sorry. * My name is Jolene Brenner, Jojo to my friends, and I am on a quest. I am looking for the perfect mate but my approach is anything but typical. I have figured out that the standard method used by almost all women just doesn't work. The most important factor to...
At eighteen years old, I'd made my fair share of mistakes, but this one was by far the worst. I'd asked my last ride to drop me off at a highway crossroads, God knows how many miles back. Told him I had enough food and water, and brains, to make it on my own. He had warned me how dangerous it was, but I had been so cocksure. So certain in my ability to surv...
The Day I met Mr. H started like most days, except today I had a job interview. Nervous jitters jumped through my body as the alarm clock made the most obnoxious noises in my ears and I realised today was interview day. "Ok, I got this" I said to myself as I threw the bed covers off, I really needed this job, my flatmate had moved out the week earlier and...
The life of a botanist isn't always sunshine and roses... Author's note: This is Part 1 of a 3-part story arc and is a light look at alien botanicals rather than the usual Nonhuman Vamps, Weres and mythical creatures. It isn't intended to make the "Reality Check" some readers find crucial. Rather, it is an exercise in Willing Suspension of Disbelief. In the...
Saturday morning. No classes today. The sky was blue, the sun was shining and I had nothing to do. I grabbed my guitar and figured I would head to the park, play for a few hours, maybe make enough in tips to buy myself some dinner and have a drink or two. I found a quiet corner of the park where no one else was playing. When you play classical guitar, it...
Chapter 4: Destination Nowhere © Sadie Rose 1999 (Gore Warning: The culmination of this story is 'still' [apologies to Laurel and Manu] a tad violent, so anyone with a nervous disposition and/or weak stomach should cut away before the last page. Sorry :I ) SIMON "Why didn't you fucking wake me?" Simon yelled at his boyfriend, and not for the first time,...
Chapter 02: The Date I'm lying on my bed in the dark room, looking up at the ceiling without really seeing it. I sigh once more in disbelief as my mind wanders back to yesterday's events. Only yesterday! My face gets host just thinking about it. That... that... brat! In my indignation I can't find the right words. I'm of course referring to Mia, that sly ra...
When Pam asked me to come to her pool party next Saturday I tried to think of a way to politely say no. I'm not much of a conservationist and quite frankly I find most women to be boring. I never was one for chit chat about children or homemaking or any of the typical topics most women select to discuss. Pam knew that, so I was a bit surprised that she would...
