I overhear Nancy ordering Mark around, telling him to make sure he has his car keys and wallet. She takes great delight in reminding him of the consequences if he embarrasses her in public. The two of them head out of the apartment and on the way to their shopping trip. After they're gone I get my phone and dial Marge, an old friend of mine. After a few rin...
This story is dedicated to Faye Skylark - the inspiration for my story and a terrific fellow author. Look up her stories. You won't be disappointed. Part 05 (That Looks Nice...) Faye walked through her local shopping mall. As she gazed into the store windows she reflected on the events of the last few days... Her first attempt to get into the porn industr...
1590 Very few things in the world had the power to frighten Electra. Her master's wrath happened to be one of them. And even that was usually only enough to make her take a step back and bow her head. Right now she shrunk down to the floor, positively cowering. Dracula's shadow aura was practically causing the whole keep to tremble with his rage. "Dost thou...
He walked along the dusty road not really expecting any traffic at this hour. He heard a high revving engine behind him, it grew louder and he looked back and saw a cloud of dust approaching rapidly.

She didn't so much as sweep into my life, she didn't so much as stride into my life, she crept into my life, and the first words she said to me were, "Excuse me, can you tell me where the Post Office is?" "Yeah, sure." I replied. "It's just down this road a block and you turn right and it's about fifty metres from the corner, on your right." While I was giv...
This is not so much a story, as it is a set of snapshots from the happenings in a particular university, where double standards are the norm.

Feel free to make suggestions in the comments as well! *...
Chapter 19 The Big Step The morning after we returned from Sacramento, I was on the phone to Dow. "Bob, I wanted to let you know that the tests we conducted with the state water resources board were a complete success. Your filter material performed perfectly and we're having some of it sent to you today for your inspection." "That's great, John. Con...
Chapter the Second, in which Steve and Miriam go on their first date, and a very special item is added to Veronica's wardrobe. * The letter was handwritten on stationery, the heading of which read, "From the desk of Carlton Gardiner, Jr." It was framed, and it hung on the wall at the end of the hallway, underneath a picture of the man himself. It was the f...
Thank you for the fantastic feedback and votes :). ***** The sky was a mass of dark and grey feathered clouds. A strong wind rolled rapidly over the crude greens and browns of the Sietter Hills. Tashka and Vadya rode over the brow of a hill, the wind whipping their cloaks against their faces and tearing at Tashka's blue cap and Vadya's brown hair. In the d...
