I am not going to answer the race question. I will leave it to readers to make up their own minds. Is race how you perceive yourself or how others see you? Maddening, I know. I will try to put in lots of good sex and plot twists to ease your aggravation and keep you titillated. It seems to take hours to make the 40-mile drive home and I am still reeling...
Author's Note: So here it is, nearly six months later. They've been six hellish months, let me tell you. I honestly couldn't write an ending for this story when my own felt so unfinished. And my ending is still nebulous, but at least in the fiction world I can create the resolution I desperately crave in my own life. So I hope you enjoy the end to Rachel's s...
Hi, my name is Arthur, or Artie, as I prefer. I'd like to share with you a recent event in my life. My life has radically changed for the better recently, I'm glad to say. And it's only been possible due to social media. I'm 47, 6'1" and 175 pounds. I have most of my hair still, though it's gradually thinning and slowly turning from brown to salt and pepper...
From Chapter 2: I felt sleep finally come to claim me. As it did, one question occupied my mind. What did the future have in store for us? What else could possibly happen to us, good or bad, and how would we deal with these events? My mind reeled at all the possibilities and continued to pore over them until my eyelids, heavy with slumber, drew to a close a...
I was running out of time, Christmas was fast approaching and I didn't yet have a present for Jenny, my girlfriend of almost 2 years. I wanted something that was perfect, something that made a statement but something that was most definitely not a diamond ring. It's not that I'd never thought of proposing to Jenny, we were at that age where our friends were...
"Teri?!?" "Omigod! Tami!" Their embrace was tight and long and trembling with emotion, lubricated by the sudden gush of tears from both. Finally relaxing, they pulled back, arms still entwined, and gazed into one another's eyes. "Man, oh man, girl," Tami breathed, "have I missed you!" "It's been so long," Teri gulped, swallowing an errant sob, "Too long!"...
I was doing some work around the house one afternoon a year ago August when I heard a car pull up. It was not one I recognized right away, but then realized whose it was when I saw the young female driver get out. It was Isabel, Laurie's daughter, and Kim's granddaughter. I had been seeing the older two women, Kim on a regular basis (Kim Rediscovers Her Wild...
"Continuing education" is what our local tech college calls it. Everyone else refers to it as "old school". This didn't stop me from picking up a few refresher courses, when I was out of work a few years back. At the time I was, what I tongue-in-cheek called, damn near fifty. Of course, the term 'damn near fifty' works from the ages of about 48, until 55....
I called Anna's sister, Frankie, while I drove and told her I was coming to the city for a couple days. I knew she had a two-bedroom apartment and I asked if I could use her spare bedroom. I needed to talk to Frankie about my plans. For whatever weird reason, talking to Frankie was like talking to Anna. They looked alike and their personalities were the same...
This story is so way far over the top, it is almost suborbital. No one under eighteen, any resemblance to anyone living, dead or living dead is just coincidental and this is a work of fiction. Please remember to place tongue firmly in cheek when reading. Keep all arms and legs and tentacles in, and enjoy the ride. Buckle up, insanity ahead. You have been wa...
