Mary had been fascinated by casts since elementary school. Bracing came later, in Jr. High when the first of her classmates showed up for school in a Milwaukee. Sadly (from her perspective), while she has scoliosis and to her a noticeable hunchback, the curve developed too late and was of insufficient magnitude to require being fitted for her own. Some yea...
Chapter 2: The Next Day Sleeping in on Saturday morning was interrupted sooner than Denise would have preferred. At around 8:30 the phone woke her from a weary slumber and she groaned upon checking the clock. Rolling over, she grabbed the wireless phone from its cradle. "Hullo?" she croaked. The caller was Betty, the bartender from the Garden Patch restau...
Chapter 1: Hi. My name is Faherty Cumming. I'm going into my senior year of high school. I'm often accused of having a "Better than thou" kind of attitude. As I'm the prettiest girl in the whole school, it isn't just an attitude, it is a fact. I keep a popular vlog going of makeup and fashion tips; I'm always impeccably made up and dressed. It really pays...
Denmark I walked into my apartment and took a long sigh. It was finally over. I was divorced from Kevin. Divorces inherently have terribly bitter times. I was grateful I had a beacon of hope. The light that shined like a lighthouse in the darkest of days arose from an unlikely source, an online Mistress. I never romantically kissed another woman or anything...
Dan Carter held the single sheet of paper in his hands and began to cry. He hadn't shed tears in--how long? Seven years since his mother died? But the emotions overtook him with a force he could not have foreseen. At this moment Dan wasn't even sure he had ever been in love before now. He had thought so, but losing Lynn now made him think perhaps not. As the...
My dad, he's a long-haul truck driver. Why? Well, because his dad was one. And grandpa was one because...well...his dad, my great-grandfather was one. Ah hell, I bet if you were to go back another generation you would find one of us hauling freight with a wagon and horses. Want to hazard a guess what I've spent the last few months in training for? Oh my n...
How long am I supposed to wait before calling her? Two days? Three? And who the fuck created this rule anyways? Desperation of the male party should be inversely correlated to the length of time, because let's be honest here, I'm pretty desperate. The next Sunday finds us in a canoe out on one of the secluded lakes in the park. With all the leaves about to...
Carolyn drove Bob's old Honda to his house to exchange it for her own car. She noted gratefully upon arriving that Bob's wife wasn't home. Bob invited her in and she used a spare bedroom to remove the leg brace and the hidden radio transmitter and microphone. She had carried in a spare pair of flip-flops which replaced her "orthopedic" shoes. Then she and Bo...
Fay never liked getting up in the morning; she was more an afternoon/night type. She turned the alarm off and contemplated her day at work. Using her left arm she pushed herself upright in bed and pushed her paralyzed right leg over to the edge with her good left leg. She scooted towards her wheelchair alongside the bed and using her left arm again, and left...
Well after a lot of coaxing I finally got my wife to an adult book store and into a video booth. I have been working on convincing her for quite a while and was actually kind of surprised she finally agreed. We had been out with friends for dinner and she had several Dirty Martini's before we ordered and then one in the bar after. I knew she was primed for s...
