After our initial encounter I knew waiting for our next time together would be tough. I had admired this woman for years and now that I had had a taste of her, I couldn't get enough. I knew that she needed to ease in to things, so I resolved to take it slow. And despite the fact that she repeatedly told me that she couldn't get enough, I was concerned about...
Rhine Bridge A LIGHT EASTERLY BREEZE BLOWS in and hits the old wooden bridge causing it to sway slightly. It creaks a little from the movement and the sound can be heard just over the soft gurgling of the steady flow of the river below. "These kinds of bridges just aren't safe," Huxley the priest complains as the group approaches the wooden bridge. "C'mon...
"Pastor, what am I to do? Everywhere I go, women are throwing themselves at me. I've turned off my phone and the mailman is threatening to sue. And I don't dare show up at my apartment, it's been staked out." "Matt, let's look at your options. According to the will, the money is to be distributed to either the Pregnancy Center OR to the Abortion Clinic. Cor...
This story was co-written with my friend NightSmuggler. It's a continuation of The Conference: He Walks into a Bar. ***** I had the afternoon free. The whole afternoon. No meetings to attend, no talks to give, no sessions to sit through. The only downside was that David's schedule didn't line up with mine, and he had meetings all afternoon. I kicked off m...
Penny tried to concentrate, but all she could think of was William's departure. She pictured him saying goodnight, turning, walking away, out of her life. It saddened her, yet, was inevitable. When she actually heard the words, they startled her. She wasn't sure if she had imagined it or if he truly said goodnight. Then he took her hand, bending low, kissi...
"Hello Ms. Learner." That voice, one that had been in countless fantasies when I was a bespectacled, brainy and horny teenager, caught me so off guard that I nearly dropped the punch I was holding. It was my ten-year high school reunion, held in the ballroom of the same hotel we had had our Senior Prom. I only came to show certain members of my class that e...
I was busy introducing a new math concept when a young woman stepped through the doorway. She smiled at me and wandered to the nearest chair and sat down. My students barely noticed her, but I did. A few minutes later the bell rang and the students thronged outside, leaving me with a beautiful student teacher named Celena. We chatted animatedly for several...
I. We got to the point where we were essentially all suffering there in the ward. The heat was intolerable. I'd insisted on a window view, which just put me closer to the sun, which was so bright and relentless that I felt I'd bequeathed to it an ever shrinking set of brain cells every time it set. Jerome returned from surgery one morning and announced, upo...
For Torrie and I, 1970 started out with a ‘bang’ in more ways than one. Although I don’t remember anything specific about the early evening, I know we drove into town for the New Years Eve Celebration. There were drunks or at least people who had been drinking, fireworks, sparklers and lots of firecrackers at the crowded celebration. It was difficult to find...
I travel a lot. Whenever I tell people where I'm from, they look at me in a funny way. Sometimes I smile and nod, and other times I feel like shaking them. There are Indians, Chinese people and Pakistanis in the Republic of South Africa, it's not just Blacks and Whites down there! The name's Madeeha Abbasi, and my friends call me Maddy. I used to get pissed...
