Robert had met Sandy's mother once or twice before they were engaged. Then there was the ritual meeting for Char's blessing. Char was getting a little middle-age heft, but she was about as attractive as she might ever have been, that is 'average'. Robert felt slightly guilty, it seemed harsh, but he couldn't help thinking about the contrast between her and h...
"Dean Whitaker, your two o'clock is here." The Dean looked up from his desk and responded to his secretary, "Let her in." Seconds later, a beautiful brunette strode through the door into the Dean's office. The Dean looked her up and down. The girl wore a white, strapless sundress that fit her curves nicely. The Dean, a quick wit and keen observer, enjoyed...
"Who am I then? Tell me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I'll come up; if not, I'll stay down here till I'm someone else." Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass "Not East, not West, not North and not South- only this spot I am standing on now." Abbas Kiarostami "Yeki Ya Schehrezade!

18 The Dawn of Cindy Moundlicker Rosa stepped out into the pale daylight of the courtyard. It was a cool day, with grey clouds and a fresh breeze running through the prison. The threat of rain, however, would not dampen the anticipation of the crowd that she knew would be waiting for her in the town square. She was about to complete her descent to a deprav...
"Think of it as a take-away." "Sir?" You looked around the large but rather beige hotel room and saw the digital camera beside the bed. You understood. "Sir, that will cost extra. Half as much again. Sir." Mischief danced across your face. "Ah." I looked in my wallet, considering the amount. It was a disappointing outcome. "Oh dear. I don't think I can af...
I love my job, I thought sarcastically as I made my way out of the Bayshore Mall in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. Ah, the life of a cashier or adventures in retail. The hell that I endure for eight hours for a measly twelve bucks an hour. As bad as things are around here, they're way better than they were in Quebec City where I was born. Being the only daught...
"Lose the clothes and cuff your hands behind your back." Was the moment I realised that my boss had this all planned out. "Wha...what are you going to do?" I was too deep to pull back now. I was ready for anything he told me to do. "Trust me. The ten grand bonus and that raise you have been working so hard for are right around the corner." I was so desper...
This time the subject line of his email said, "Please." When I opened it, there was no content. I hit reply and told him three things: meet me at the RV in five days, do not shave your head during the days we are apart, bring something to play with. Inside the RV, he sat at the table waiting. My eyes went immediately to his head, where a thin layer of dark...
A sharp knock at the door jars me from my work on the laptop. I look at the clock, 9:03am. Who would be knocking at my door at this time of the morning I think to myself. I walk slowly over and the door creaks slightly as I open it to peek through to see who is there. The door is suddenly pushed open and I am slammed to the wall behind me knocking the wind f...
You arrive home still on a high from what had just happened in your office, you wonder where I am right now and if you will see me again. You walk to your front door and take out your keys, unlocking the door you swing it open and walk in. You notice that something is different; you stop and slowly close the door behind you, placing your coat on the hook yo...
