The impossible blue Montana sky arched over the rolling hills. I'd gone there for the summer along with my brother and his wife. They planned on staying on after the summer, but I had to get back to school. I had jeopardized my deferment by dropping out of college that spring. Yes, this was back in the dark days of The Draft. In the late sixties, when this...

You know that old cartoon where a cat gets scared, and it jumps up and gets its claws stuck in the ceiling? Well, it's a good thing I wasn't in felinthro form when I heard that, or I probably would have done the same thing[m/] and the ceiling probably wasn't strong enough to support my weight. "W- why does the sergeant want to talk to me?" I asked, trying...
I got home that night to find my brother watching porn on his laptop. It's not unusual for me to hear the sounds of a dirty movie coming from his bedroom but I recognised the sound of this girl's voice and I knew Steve had found the ultimate way to humiliate me.
