「ザキさん、こんなクソ寒い夜中になんの用ですか」 空気も凍るような寒さの夜、理由も告げずに俺を稽古場へ呼び出した小劇団の先輩、崎山に不満を隠さず声を掛けた。そこは、稽古場というより廃倉庫といったほうがしっくりくるボロ屋で、風が吹かないだけ外よりマシという状況だった。貧乏劇団ゆえ暖房器具など置いてすらない。 「おう、すまねぇな、森田。ちょっと見せたいもんがあってな」 「金貸してくれってのは無しですよ」 「そんなんじゃねぇよ。芝居の話だ、芝居の」 崎山はもう四十も半ば、芽の出ない役者だ。売れない理由は、今時となっては珍しい「飲む」「打つ」「買う」と三拍子を見事に揃えた素行の悪さが、業界中に知れ渡っているせいだった。どこぞの脚本家の奥さんに横恋慕して旦那に殺されかけただの、賭場で負けて裸で電車に乗って留置所に入れられ...
About a month ago, I finally got sick and tired of local radio and, since I spend a lot of time in the car, I decided to finally join the "modern era" of music and bought an iPod and a car cassette adapter. Within an hour of arriving home with the iPod, I had a good range of music transferred to my iPod, and purposely went out driving later that afternoon to...

Apple started it, of course. First there was the iMac, then the world went crazy for the iPod and before you knew it loads of companies out there were prefixing their products with the ubiquitous "i". It seemed only natural that I added to the movement when I christened what happened with Nancy, iSex. Nancy Perry was an admin assistant at the company I work...
I will never forget that night. The night I discovered how I truly am. My true self. Its an unforgivable night. And I never thought my little sister would be the one to help uncover this part of me. I was a young, average 19 year old, my sister and I were home from college for winter break. I had short, blond hair and my sister had brown hair cut about at h...
You know what the best part of my night was? Surprisingly it had nothing to do with getting to go home after a full day of classes, doctor's appointments, or work. It had nothing to do with soaking in a hot bubble bath and it definitely had nothing to do with getting to slip into my bed and lay my head against a goose feather pillow. It was actually the tran...

The next few days went by slowly. My thoughts only on the man who held me so tight, the man I longed to hold. Every time the phone rang, my heart would be leaping in my chest. All I wanted was to hear from this man, the man that made me feel so special inside. Stupid as it was, since he told me he loved me, I couldn't think about much else. It was a day long...
The third chapter... keep commenting and voting. There is no way I can improve if you don't let me know what I'm doing wrong. * The next few days went by slowly.

It was bringing home the IPod Touch that turned my wife Karen into a whore. To everyone she met, Karen had always seemed rather conservative. Everything from her politics to her career as an insurance underwriter to her manner of speech and dress would have tagged Karen as modest, reserved, even snobbish. That's often the case, I've found, with women who, li...
