I. Moving In August in Missouri is always terribly hot, except when it rains, and then it is just bloody hot. It is constantly humid, some of the worst humidity the North American continent can muster. He may have bitched about it a lot, but really, Logan didn't mind too much. The heat and humidity just meant that all summer long, the girls wore really shor...
Chapter 3: Connection While Raz ran, Tessa guided him with the knowledge she had gleaned from the minds of the guards and other staff she had come across. She knew there weren't any humans in a 100-mile radius of the complex, but there was an old town 75 miles away due east. The staff would use the town to have parties and drink, which was not allowed on th...
Chapter 2: Something New Rashad regained consciousness but didn't immediately open his eyes. He could tell from the smell of sterility that he was in the Medical Facility. 'What was that?' He thought to himself, seeing the redhead, the blinding light and the...feelings. He had never experienced something like that ever in his life and he needed a moment to...
After years of reading stories from others, I have finally decided to try one of my own. Feedback appreciated. It was a fall evening, slightly cool, just after sunset. Cassie was with her boyfriend of 6 weeks, heading out to a dance club. They had just finished dinner and a couple of glasses of wine at their favourite restaurant. Cassie and Jack were 19 ye...
Way back at the beginning, I mentioned that the story would jump the shark. Well, here we go. Ironically though, this was actually the original intention from the beginning. Original influence is from a 4-page short at the beginning of a doujin. The short pages were called 'Canned Peach' by Momoyama Jirou-and coincidentally, what got me into writing in the f...
"Have a safe night at work, sweetie," Carol Melvin-Brown texted her husband, family law attorney Devon Brown, as she started her shift at Victoria General Hospital. Outside the hospital, it was super cold, even by Halifax standards. Carol for once was glad to be inside. The six-foot-tall, curvy and sexy, short-haired and big-bottomed, caramel-hued and brown-...

My eyes snap open to see an unfamiliar woman in a jogging outfit, bleached blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, and some of the longest legs I've ever seen leading up...
I wrote this as an entry for the 'One night in XXX' event, but I realized it doesn't fit the guidelines, so I'm posting it separately. ====================== There wasn't anything unusual about that evening. I'd stayed late at work, struggling with a coding problem. Truthfully, I'm a better designer than coder, but that doesn't mean I didn't have to solve...
The Kingdom of Hafizar, which is bordered by Kuwait to the north, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the South and is considered the smallest of the Gulf States, stands at the doorway of progress and peril. The Kingdom has a population of three million inhabitants, most of them centered in the three major cities, Al-Mokhtar, Behar and Thobar. Ninety percent of t...
At the beginning of my sophomore year of university, I helped create a student environmental organization called SAVE (Student Advocates - Voices for the Environment). The group struggled to find its focus and mission in the first few months. Many people who came to our meetings were either interested in hiking/camping or in smoking weed. While I think it's...
