This story isn't science fiction at all, and it only has one element of fantasy, but I think this is the most suitable category available, so here it is. It is set in the real world, with real people and one simple and impossible (in the real world) premise. It's sort of a 'What if?' story combined with an impossible dream. Enjoy - BB1212 ***** They say yo...
Vic, Bert and Joe had flashlights going as they walked through the fields searching for a man they knew wasn't there. They made it look good for appearances sake and their lights caught the attention of Sam Jessop who lived on the far side of the Lancaster property. He came over with his flashlight and walked up to them. "Hey Sam." "Vic, Bert, Joe. What yo...
This is part two of a story originally posted here on September 2, 2011, involving a near-immortal man who calls himself John Smith, and a young woman he re-names Azelia after he takes her as his life-mate. They are members of the clan of Us, a race of beings somewhat like vampires. They exist by feeding on the sexual fluids of their victims, rather than blo...
The doorbell rang and my heart galloped, as it always did whenever the bell rang. If I kept totally focused on what Mistress wanted, everything was usually okay. However, unforeseen events, like doorbells for instance, almost always spelled trouble. I hurried to find my Mistress and curtsied automatically as I entered her room. "Mistress, there is someone...
James. The blood drained from my face. We stood motionless, staring at each other for what felt like an eternity. I wanted to melt into the floor, to run from the body shop and into oncoming traffic. My heart thumped madly against my rib cage, and I began to feel the tell-tale shortness of breath that heralded what was sure to become a full-blown panic att...
It is amazing what can happen in one night, isn’t it? When I left my apartment that evening I had no idea that my life was about to change forever. I was 23 years old and had just moved to town, leaving all my family and friends a thousand miles away. I was one month into graduate school, and temporarily forget that I had a life away from classes and books....
Beth Wilson arrived home late. It was 1:30 AM, and she was beat. She thought to herself, I'd better check on Nancy to make sure she's OK. Beth peeked in Nancy's room and stood in the doorway dumfounded. She saw Nancy, another young woman, and a grown man all sleeping together! Obviously, none of them had heard her come in. Looking closer, she saw her daugh...
*************** CHAPTER EIGHT I should have been a bit alarmed that we all had quite slept for nearly twelve hours straight, without anyone waking us once the needed information had been gathered, but it was quite accurate that we had all been quite dead on our feet last evening. Now, fairly well recovered from her ordeal, Bel had a bit more life in herself...
True to his word, he called a few days later. We talked for a little while, catching up on what had been going on over the past few days. He and the scouting team had finalized their plans, and it looked like production would begin in a few months, which meant that he’d be back in Texas for awhile. He had talked to a few people about looking at my manuscrip...
I am sitting in our front room when you arrive. You are over an hour later than we agreed we would meet to leave for our weekend away. You had called to say you were meeting a few girl friends after work for a beer. We agreed that we would meet at 5pm and as per our agreement that is when I arrived. It is now, however, well after 6pm. You enter the room an...
