"But I don't want to!!!!" The little voice shrieked. I hung my head and tried not to cry. "But honey, Santa would like you to sit on his knee for the picture. Mommy would like you to sit on his knee for the picture too. Grammy and Grampy are looking forward to seeing the picture of their good little granddaughter sitting so pretty on Santa's lap." I was st...
After teaching his afternoon class, he strolled over to the book store and wandered aimlessly through the aisles, eventually settling down in front of the SciFi section. 'No new Zelazny.' Stooping down, 'no next short story collection of Lafferty.' He stooped down more, 'no new Niven.' But then, `I haven't seen that one before.' He took it, flip briefly thro...
Noreen So there I was up again at 7:30 grabbing some OJ from the refrigerator. I heard Consuela singing softly nearby in the laundry room. I knew that following the laundry duties she'd be getting breakfast ready. I finished the juice, rinsed the glass and left it in the sink and strolled silently around the house. When I came to Noreen's room, I opened th...
NOTE: This is for adults, but you knew that. Josh walked into the auditorium, a little intimidated. Here it was, his first day at college--and his first class was so big, it met in the school theatre! So many freshman and sophomores took Introduction to Psychology that Josh had to walk upstairs to the balcony to find a seat. He settled himself into a chai...
Faye and Jessica's Apartment Jessica Unwound, bare to an apartment that still felt too new and too cozy, Jessica heaved into her frustration with a blasting sigh. Her nappy, tight curls seemed all the tighter to her — everything felt like piano wire being tuned by some sick psychopath. She threw her head into her couch. "Fuck," she swore, barely audibl...
Sunlight filtered through Jason Somner's room awaking him. It was 9:00 am on his digital clock and realized he had a good, restful sleep. He swung out of the bed and padded into his black, mirrored high tech bathroom. This was the first day he won't do any work. He stepped under the cold shower and felt good. His several weeks of toil must earn him a week or...
Continuing the theme of trying something new, this is a completely different idea and approach to that of 'Vegas', but one that has fascinated me for some time. And in writing this, I have taken on board feedback on my first posting, which suggested a tinge of disappointment with the balance between poker and erotica... there is none of the former and the fo...
Chapter 3: A new way of life. )===(>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jhardron woke in the dim morning light with the sour smell of the girl in his nostrils. He looked over at the girl huddled asleep at the back of his tent. He debated his wisdom in acquiring a ha'akh now. The Twisted Dagger was only half way through their conquest of the remote Northern provinces. Dealing w...
Authors Note: These all take place ... eh let's just ball park it at a month or so after Electrical Situations. I'm kinda curious as to which character everyone likes and I'm honestly too lazy to figure out how to do a poll so maybe if anyone's reading this just comment below on who you like outta the Home Improver series of stories- male or female, don't ca...
Orc 4 - Would the real Orc chapter 4 please stand up? Right. Considering the frankly ridiculous amount of time between chapters there is no possible way this will be worth the wait. That said I hope you still enjoy it! No promises for more frequent submissions, however I will say that I do seriously want to make this a more regular occurrence. I will try to...
