「ザキさん、こんなクソ寒い夜中になんの用ですか」 空気も凍るような寒さの夜、理由も告げずに俺を稽古場へ呼び出した小劇団の先輩、崎山に不満を隠さず声を掛けた。そこは、稽古場というより廃倉庫といったほうがしっくりくるボロ屋で、風が吹かないだけ外よりマシという状況だった。貧乏劇団ゆえ暖房器具など置いてすらない。 「おう、すまねぇな、森田。ちょっと見せたいもんがあってな」 「金貸してくれってのは無しですよ」 「そんなんじゃねぇよ。芝居の話だ、芝居の」 崎山はもう四十も半ば、芽の出ない役者だ。売れない理由は、今時となっては珍しい「飲む」「打つ」「買う」と三拍子を見事に揃えた素行の悪さが、業界中に知れ渡っているせいだった。どこぞの脚本家の奥さんに横恋慕して旦那に殺されかけただの、賭場で負けて裸で電車に乗って留置所に入れられ...
Orion held his breath as he knew that at any minute his entire naked and exposed body would be stung to death by the thousands of angry bees that swarmed over his suffering flesh. So far he had remained relatively unharmed as he tried desperately to remain completely still, but he knew that it was only a matter of time before the bees would attack and sting...
"Put me the fuck down Mother Fucker!" Grid screamed as she was carried through the cold December early morning air, the sharp talons of the great black eagle cutting painfully into her stomach as it clutched her torso. Preparing to scream again and resume her struggle for freedom, she glanced down at the earth racing thousands of feet beneath her and paused....
As Pegasus flew south Orion's spirits rose. Having successfully killed and skinned the Griffon, his next mission was to give it as a sacrifice to the Furies and then return to Delphi to hear the rest of the Oracle's message. As the air grew warmer and once again trees, still blazing in all their autumnal colors came into sight, his beautiful female passenger...
Sleep had practically become a thing of the past. While at his day job, he could hardly stop thinking about The Chair. When at home, if he wasn't actively working on the design, he was surfing the Internet conducting research. Checking engineering and furniture sites for implementing the correct ergonomics. When he did manage to sleep, his dreams all revolve...
Speeding north on the back of Pegasus, Orion watched as the landscape rushing beneath them changed as they traveled. Leaving the sunny bright cool lands of the Mediterranean in the full glory of autumn behind, now an endless landscape of barren grassland of the vast steppes of Russia opened up before them. Gone were the deep reds and warm oranges of the fore...
My teachers always said I would get into real trouble one day. Naturally, I didn't listen and landed in a big heap of trouble. What started as a prank became way more serious--like, robbing a convenience store serious. Nola and Clay ran the moment they heard the Enforcers' sirens. They didn't bother getting me. I was in the backroom, counting the store's hid...
Those preferring sexy stories should read my more action oriented stories: Nothing More Gratifying or Prize money - those who enjoy reading about sexy ways to have fun with your partner, read on. * * * * * Most people are familiar with the game, common at super bowl parties, where there is a 10x10 grid and people sign up for particular blocks. Then, depe...
Up to a point some of this is true. The setting and the girl were real, everything after the concert is fantasy (unfortunately). An older story. **** I can't say that I noticed her particularly to start with; she was just one of the girls who came out to mark the grid positions. After three or four races I realised that each girl always marked the same gr...
Aphrodite's Curse Book 4 Hera Strikes Back Chapter 10 Thor opened his eyes. A dusty cough erupted from his throat, and echoed through the vast empty space around him as he gently moved his jaw back and forth. His jawbone ached like he had been stomped in the face by a bear. The rest of his body throbbed and he was racked by sharp pains, like he had been che...
