Curiosity overwhelmed me about a local bookstore that was known for having a rowdy adult theater inside. I joined their forum and began to understand the ins and outs, even becoming online pals with some members. It inspired me to write this story... * Leaning back, I rested my head on the head rest as I took a long, calming breath. I was attempting to soo...
It has been almost four years ago you made your massive fortunes when you sold your technology company to Google. At the time you were married to your college sweetheart but she decided that she no longer needed to love you if she could get half of your billions after the sale of the company. When you had gotten married you never had thought of the need for...
"We're so self-important. [...] Everybody's gonna save somethin', now. Save the trees; save the bees; save the whales; save those snails. And the greatest arrogance of all; save the planet. What?! Are these fucking people kidding me? Save the planet? We don't even know how to take care of ourselves, yet. We haven't learned how to care for one another. We'...
Chapter 3 -- At the Movies After we left Victoria's Secret, Susan asked about an X-Rated Video store downtown. "Does that store show movies?" she asked me. Since I had been there several times to get my rocks off during our low-sex years, I knew the place fairly well. "It has booths where one or two people can feed quarters into the video machine and pi...
I never answered the phone on our floor. My jobs came from waiting at the union hall so I never expected calls. That day however, I was apparently the only one on the floor and the phone rang every five minutes. I answered it. I said "Hello" rather irritably and there was a pause before a soft female voice returned the hello. "Who do you need" I asked. "C...
As the summer continued, Elle's best friend Kathy, and her husband Vic, invited Elle and Todd to spend a weekend with them at their "Time Share" condo in Provincetown, on the tip of Cape Cod. This was the third year in a row they'd offered the invitation and in each of the previous years, Elle would have to make an excuse for their not being able to make it....
I was headed home on leave when our bus hit a roadblock. The police were looking for something and they were searching all of the vehicles, our bus included. It wasn=t much of a delay, but it was just enough to miss my connecting bus. When I checked at the information counter, I found that I was going to have a delay of several hours before the next bus. No...
"Jamie, is this a male or a female student?" I asked, pointing at the picture on my roster. She looked at me over her glasses and said, "Does it make a difference?" "Not for grades. No. But, for putting students in groups and referring to their work, you know? Things like that happen in class. I'll need to use third person pronouns—he, she, him, her—and I...
It was late August, a Saturday night in the summer of '96; Ray and I were sitting in the parking lot of the Lido Adult Theater off I-35 and Mockingbird in Dallas, TX. I was finishing a cigarette while I slowly circled my index finger around my exposed nipple. There was a mixed bag of cars and trucks surrounding us; Lexus, BMW, F-150, Tahoe; new and old, rich...
Theater just might have been the most fun thing I did while in college. Acting, writing music for productions, working through rehearsals, all of it was fun to me. The spring of my senior year we did the Lion in Winter. I had just done the lead in the last production, so I was rather surprised when the head of the drama department approached me and asked i...
