John Coleman was an average 27-year old man living in northeastern Minnesota working a very boring office job as an IT specialist. His co-workers did like him for his talent in the technology business but that was it, he only considered them co-workers rather than friends. John was a standard looking American male. Tall, black hair, blue eyes, five o'clock...
I'd been debating what to do about the invitation for a week or so. My freelance writing was going pretty well, but it wasn't totally supporting me yet. I held a part-time retail job and did odd cleaning and catering jobs when I could get them to supplement my income without tying me down too much. For the day in question I had a lead on a catering gig I cou...
I was tired, sore, in need of a long hot shower, and a change of clothes. I desperately needed to get rid of the stink of shit and blood. Instead, despondently, I headed back down the stairs to get the gun out of the Land Rover. Yeah. Same old story. It was a Monday. Mid morning. My wife had supposedly left for an exhibition and conference in Brussels. But...
Margret had never seen rain like this. She had lived her whole like within a twenty-mile radius. She was a rancher, there were still a few left in Northern California. She had been caring for horses since she could walk and had been raising cattle since she had married Ben the month she graduated from High School. She stood on her porch watching the water fa...
As I wandered through the house, on my return to my downstairs apartment, I took a closer look at the opulence of the house I grew up in with my parents. I came to the startling reality, that I had never been a real part of any of it. It would seem that my parents' lover had raised me; I had never gotten to know my mother and my father as still a mystery to...
When Tina reached her boyfriend Raju's house, it was locked. She was back from her week-long vacation with her folks. 'Dunno when that dumbo is going to improve. Could have informed me about his plans', she thought. She found the key to the house in her purse. She opened the door and stepped inside. The house was dark. For some strange reason, all blinds...
Feedback is welcomed and appreciated. * * * * * Bent over the kitchen island boredly flipping through a fashion magazine, Pam Blake absently ran her foot up her calf. The 36 year old real estate oversaw a show home of a new luxury subdivision, with prices ranging from $500,000 and up, Pam found few takers even in this aggressive housing market. Part of the...
About a year ago my wife Kelly and I were discussing our sexual fantasies. I was surprised to find that my wife had an interracial fantasy. In 5 years of marriage she had never mentioned anything, I hadn't noticed her looking at anyone; it was a complete shock to me. Well having that out in the open I couldn't just leave it alone. I asked her why she had th...
"Well, it certainly doesn't look like a house that's been sitting unused for over a century," Julia Trent observed. "No, it doesn't," Mark Hallon agreed. They both stood just in front of the first step up to the large porch of the even larger two-story house. It was Mark's understanding that no one had gone anywhere near this place for about five generatio...
The Bachelorette Party Day 1 "Janice!" Cindy screamed and tumbled out of her chair, spilled her wine and her flip flop flew off the balcony deck and landed on Tammy's car as we pulled up to the beach house. After Kelly helped her up and the laughter subsided a bit, they came downstairs to greet us with big warm hugs. Cindy gave me a big kiss, she pressed c...
