"Cheese!" "Cheese!" "Yogurt!" "What?" "What? I thought we were supposed to smile and then name our favorite dairy product?" "Rolls eyes, Robert. Let me see the picture." "Did you just actually say 'rolls eyes?' How lame!" "Where are we again?" "Knoxville. You said we should stop here." "Well, I was wrong. How long till Memphis?" "'Bout five hours....
Lying on my hammock, listening to the soft singing of the cicadas in the trees, I swayed in the cool spring breeze that was making the white, dogwood blooms dance overhead. Far above those white flower-laden trees the clouds were sweeping past, not fluffy and innocent cotton candy clouds but angry looking clouds. Off in the distance I heard a rumble that p...
(Thanks to Drewau for editing. Comments and feedback always welcome and appreciated. Short synopsis of the story so far, Tom and Nicci are both extremely conservative virgin college students. They decide to live together to save money. This instantly causes issues for their innocence.) * Nicci was in shock. The events of this morning happened so fast, and...
My name is Paul and I seem always to have had a fascination with women's underwear, especially girdles, corsetry, bras, stockings, suspenders and so on. As an 18-year old teenager, in 1969, the family went on holiday to the Norfolk Broads. On the way back, a detour was made to the Spirella factory at Letchworth, Hertfordshire. There were many women, men and...
ENDINGS After a couple of weeks James thought back over all that had happened over the last year or so. One person kept coming back into his mind, Beverly. At first he was just curious, wondering how she was doing, was she happy? As agreed they had their first lunch at the end of Beverly's initial semester. This went really well and James was amazed at ho...
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...
A month before Christmas would be, you might think, a fairly safe time to go shopping for gifts, right? Wrong! It seemed like thousands of others had thought the same, and the city centre was as busy as I'd ever seen it. Every street I turned in to was thronged with shoppers, each and every one in search of that elusive 'special' gift for their nearest and d...
Edward (Eddie only to those who really wanted to annoy him) was frustrated. Frustrated that he couldn't move out of the hospital bed, frustrated that on a sunny day like this he was stuck inside with no hope of reprieve. But most of all he was being driven slowly mad by the itch on his ankle, unreachable under the cast. He thought of the run of bad luck that...
He knew the best place to find them was in the dark music clubs. The coffee houses that stayed open all night. In every city there were at least two. It was their weakness, the loneliness. They need to congregate & gather. In every case he had found a dozen, cutting them out of their crowd of followers and copycats. Following them in the breaking dawn to th...
It had been a bad time for Shirley and myself. Two failed business attempts had left us completely broke. No money; no car and the nice riverside apartment in which we used to live had been cruelly repossessed by the bank. But it's ironic that, just when you think things can't possibly get any worse, they suddenly do! The accident had been entirely my own f...
