They were almost snowed in. The road had just closed, and no one could bother them for a full day, maybe two. Virginia lay back on the down featherbed, her husband Keith groaning with pleasure as he moved into her. He was a dark silhouette against the blue-white light of a snowy late afternoon. She loved the feeling of his smooth, strong body moving against...
It was midnight at Beastmeh canyon, cold and shivering air lingered around the atmosphere. Despite being raped, completely naked, smelly and broken, Aisa continued to walk aimlessly to search for a river. No help would automatically arrive for her in the barren grounds of Beastmeh canyon, and if she chose to stay at the same spot she might die of hypothermia...
Eleven: Nathaniel Knight-Commander Greagoir was a fine templar, Nate had to keep reminding himself as he listened to the man drone on and on about the mages that were supposedly at risk, assigned willy-nilly to various battalions, some – the Dalish, Nate amended in his mind – without templar guards. Greagoir was probably a talented individual with many fin...
BaaaaaaaaaaDooooooooom! AHH, WHAT THE FUCK. I had just risen up with a startled gasp realizing that the booming sound was just nothing but thundering and lighting crackling through the sky. Damn that scared the ever living shit out of me. After a few seconds of trying to catch my breathe and getting my all too fast beating heart back down to my chest I laid...
The day had started off hot and sunny. The fourteen of us had broken camp at eight A.M., and already we had been perspiring as we loaded the canoes with tents, bags, and all the assorted stuff that seven couples carry with them on a week long canoeing expedition. We were on Kootenay Lake in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia. My wife and I had been sh...
"Pretty shitty duty," I said to myself. The cobwebs didn't say anything in reply, nor did the old pilots' licenses hanging in their cracked frames. Still, with my MP3 going and a thermos of hot, hot coffee, I wasn't seriously complaining. It sure as hell beat Iraq - nobody trying to blow my ass up again. I brushed the hair out of my eyes. Long blonde bangs...
It has been one of those winter’s that linger on and on; a few days of temperatures above 40 degrees teasing man and nature only to bring back freezing temperatures for a week or more. But today the sun was really warm despite the patches of snow still spotting the view. Trees, flowers and all of Nature began to respond to the ageless renewal of life. A gent...
The next day Anna awoke still worried about Chris. She wanted to go up and see him but had to get through her classes first. She still couldn't get over the idea that maybe she was to blame. She didn't feel quite like herself but couldn't figure out what it was. She felt very strange as she undressed before getting in the shower. The warm water felt amazin...
The rain slashed furiously at the windshield of her car. If not for her almost panic to get away from the man her father had sent after her, she might have pulled over and waited it out. But that option was out for now. If he caught her, he would force her to go back to her father's villa and be under Sebastian's thumb once more. Her wipers were on as fast...
The rain had come out of nowhere. Jenny was on one of her regular long distance jogs - this time she had chosen a remote old logger's road high up in the mountains. The sun had been high in blue sky as she had parked at the foot of the hills and took off, but an hour later dark clouds had rolled in and the sky had opened up. In that hour Jenny had managed...
