After twelve years in Switzerland, nine in private primary and preparatory schools and finally three at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, I was going back to the United States. Both of my parents worked at the U.S. Embassy in Bern. At what, I had no idea. I never once heard them discuss work. I was thirteen, in 1939, when arrangements were made for...
I suggest you read KatieBreckenridge's account of her life as an escort to bring you up on my outcome of her tale. As always I appreciate the talent of other authors in telling their stories. I'm unsure Katie knew how it would feel to be cheated, spurned, and disrespected. Maybe after Jeff gets through letting her know how it felt, she'll have a different v...
The mugger grinned, grabbing the girl and dragging her into an alley, producing a vibro-shiv seemingly from nowhere and brandishing it menacingly. "Now, if you just be quiet, the only thing you'll lose is money, instead of money and a limb, girl." There isn’t much point in fleeing or resisting- a vibro-shiv can slice through flesh and bone like a hot knife...
It was a beautiful spring day in Atlanta, Georgia. The sun was out, a few puffy clouds were drifting by in the heavens, the temperature was warm, and a light breeze was blowing. It was too perfect a day to think of the disaster looming in the near future. That impending disaster was the reason Amy had the job she was supposed to be doing. The teen was supp...
(Please read chapters 1-3 before reading this installment) Rain led Cassandra to another room behind the boutique, and opened the door. "Here you go. Go ahead and shower, everything you need should be in there, and I will bring you some fresh clothes," said Rain as she showed Cass into the bathroom. "Thank you Rain. Are you sure that Mr. Derrick won't...
Chapter 17 Learning The Basics Wild horses wouldn't have kept me away of course. And so began several months of some of the best sex education a boy could ask for. Doreen wasn't into anything kinky but she and I tried every variation of what these days is called 'straight' sex, everything that she already knew or that we could think of. From time to time w...
The Last Man: This story was related to me by the main character, who shall be known as Roger Wilkinson. It was recorded by me in personal conversation with him over a period of six hours in four sessions, and when I set about writing it, I felt it best to put it in dialogue form because that was how he presented it to me. I offered the outline, drafts and...
The seersucker shirt sleeves were rolled up to the elbows. A dark stain worked its way down the spine as the tropical island sweet dripped. Khakis accentuated his athletic butt cheeks. His feet swiftly stepped past the discarded plastic piece and exposed-bone carcass of a dog. A baby tied to the back of a black mother with a cloth cried with the lethargy of...
Author's Note: I know it has been a while since I last posted a story, and while I am working on the next installment, I figured I could give you guys a small background into one of the characters that will be introduced in the next series. I feel that without this bit of knowledge, the quality of the character will be misinterpreted, and it might diminish t...
In the near future, prison overcrowding has led to some changes in the judicial system of the United States. In the case of capitol crimes, a new alternative sentencing has been introduced. The condemned has the option of foregoing all appeals in exchange for at least thirty days of relative freedom, under what is considered "invisible surveillance." This ne...
