We had never been to a Friendsgiving dinner before but my buddy Denny explained that it was a pre-Thanksgiving dinner to get friends together in the same way you get family together for Thanksgiving. He predicted a crowd of 25 or so and a good time for all. So, on the night of, my wife Valerie and I headed up to his house for dinner. Valerie is one of those...
I couldn't tell you how long I've been away. It felt as if all my days have blended together. For all I knew, something that happened yesterday could have easily happened last week. My day generally started before the sun came up and finished well after the sun went down. Ambient lighting and climate control often simulated the normal business hours of the d...
Many thanks Jedbeaker for the editing of this story and for his suggestions. * It was a sad day, indeed, a very sad Friday for me. Within a few minutes I would see if my life had turned into a mess out of my control. The only thing to do for the time being was to wait and see if the expected crap would really happen. However, I wasn't any poor wimp who w...
This story has sexual content so if you are under 18 please leave. If you are over 18 I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. I welcome and am happy to respond to positive feedback, and I'm always pleased to chat with like minded folks. As always; all characters are figments of my imagination. * I'm Mike Paterson; an operations manager...
Michael awoke with a start, as if he were catching himself from falling. He didn't remember falling asleep, but then he couldn't think of a time when he had ever remembered the moment of falling asleep. Was that even possible? He struggled to hold on to what he had been dreaming about. It faded quickly as his head filled with awakened thoughts, vague memorie...
It was a sunny Saturday morning and Tony had woken up early planning to get a head start on the days rush of traffic and head down to the local Best Buy to pick up a new game and maybe a BluRay movie. He got dressed and ate breakfast, a quick bowl of cereal, then heading back to his room Tony got his shoes and hat and was just preparing to leave when his pho...
Before you begin this story, you might want to read my previous story "One Way to Get Out of Jail." Honestly, it acts very much like a prologue to this. Chapter 1: The Accidental Bodyguard. The firebomb came through the window at about two a.m., when everyone in the household was wide awake, thanks to the fire alarm the Nikolic's called a son. Technical...
I'm spending the day at Glen Ivy Hot Springs, relaxing. I normally go with girlfriends, but not always. I've come here alone a few times and it's glorious to not worry about anyone else's schedule or needs. There are many women here, all ages, all shapes and sizes. I'm comfortable in my one piece, even though I can no longer "rock the bikini," the way I onc...
Firstly, here is another episode for the sick anonymous critics to add their nauseating comments to. To the vast majority of readers I apologise for the above remarks, because I know that you are normal, sane, healthy people who would only criticise because there is something in the story to criticise. I ended my last chapter where I had just begun to repre...
Carla dropped into the cool leather booth in the darkened hotel bar. The day had been long; too damned long. It was the annual conference. As a social worker working with families of terminally ill children, she lived with a string of one long day after another. But this annual conference seemed to only remind her of the tragedy of her work. How did one ever...
