It's tough being a God, ladies and gentlemen. People think it's all power and glory but they forget about the one thing which drives everything among intelligent beings. The pernicious and inescapable fabric of politics. That's why I left Home, and came to the planet Earth. I have built a new life for myself in the City of Toronto, province of Ontario. I'm J...

Men everywhere laugh when hearing this because they see themselves as truly uncomplicated. The same goes for people of different religious, races and ethnicities. To the Westerner,...
Her twentieth birthday was today, but it was nothing special to her. Leah had gotten a few calls and texts this morning, but she was now working an afternoon shift. Robert was also picking up extra shifts at work to pay down his part of the debt he shared with his brothers and friend, so she'd simply packed him lunch and sent him off to work with a kiss on h...

Unfortunately I had to work and pay for that cloned body and I had very few skills a high tech society could use. So it was either I become an Unskilled Labourer or a Sex Slave. In the end I guess Human Recourses had figured me out correctly. All those years in BDSM chat...

XLII A Well-Rounded Education Primrose 2086 "Have you told your mother?" asked the voice at the other end of the phone line. "Of course not, Gran," replied Primrose. "What do you think she'd say?" "She wouldn't be pleased," said Karen to her granddaughter. "But such an innocent name: Empire Cleaning Services. Who would have thought?" "It's a career,...
Another fine day in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. I got my tired Haitian ass off the bus and walked to the university campus. While in the student center I got myself some coffee and sandwiches, and stopped to chit chat with the light-skinned tomboy working behind the Tim Horton’s counter. I walked to the library and took the elevator to the third floor, and...
