As the professor turns his back to write his next item on the board, my cell phone rings, the class laughs as the music of Bon Jovi emanates from my pocket. Sheepishly I pull the phone out, not knowing the person on the line I answer it with a meek little voice. "Hello." "Hi, this is Sarah Branson, I know we haven't had the courtesy but I saw your ad in th...
"Who was that?" Herman asked, when Theodore had finished his conversation and put his cell phone down in the grass. "That was my niece Mimi," Theodore answered. "She asked if she could come for a swim. That's what she always asks on hot days like today. She'll be here soon." "Mimi," Herman thought, "that's one of those names you never hear, but once you c...
PART I What Mary Learned Mary is 55 and happily married. At the moment, Mark, her husband, friend, and lover of 30 years, has been gone almost a week taking care of a family problem.

Fresh out of college, with my degree in Mechanical Engineering in my hand, I felt like I had the world by the short hairs. Six months later I was working in the local gas station, pumping gas and fixing cars in the dirty two bay back room. My Dad had grinned at me and shook my hand, happy that I had graduated.

This story is really, really messed up and depraved, in many ways. You have been warned! ***** At least I got to fuck Margot one last time before the Earth was destroyed. I'd begged and pleaded all week for her to change her mind. The sheer misery of knowing she was moving out but being unable to do anything about it almost drove me mad, and more than...

Bryan had gone kayaking that morning like always, and was sitting at the kitchen counter with his schoolbooks when there was a knock on the door. Bryan was pleased to find his Irish visitor on the porch. She had a basket in hand. "Come i...
This is the first half of a story inspired by the "hunting for Bambi" hoax. Even if the story as a whole is not finished, this chapter is a finished section and can be enjoyed as such. If there is interest I'll continue this story. ***** Battle of the Sexes. It was a beautiful summer day. The midday sun was high up in the sky, heating up the world with it...
Being a divorced mother of two had its ups and downs, and today was no exception for 39-year old Amy Hunter. Work had been particularly hectic and she hadn't been able to get away from the office until 6:00, which meant she had to rush home to get ready for her date at 7:30. In the five years since her divorce, Amy had gone out with only a handful of men and...
Dana was sitting at her desk staring into the glaring screen of her computer. She attempted to work, but as she did her eyelids kept drooping and her head began to loll down to her chest. Abruptly her head shot up as if she'd been pinched. She blinked her eyes several times and rubbed them with her fists. She yawned as she stretched her arms out to their ful...
It's another return to those so-called thrilling days of yesteryear, this time to June of 1971. Nixon sat in the Oval Office, the Rolling Stones' Brown Sugar topped the Top 40 charts and Summer of '42 and Billy Jack played at the box office.
