"I'm sure glad the company finally got off their dead rear ends and bought that space folder," Earl remarked as they entered the atmosphere. "Well, yeah, but the first thing they did was send us back to this miserable little dust ball. They put us in bio research this time. I can't believe it!" Carol groused. "What are you bitching about? At least we've go...
Thanks to Todger 65 for the edit. As Betty Gregg finished washing her dishes after a solitary but rather pleasant dinner, she heard a gurgle and turned to find herself confronting a giant, slimy slug. Her first thought was, "Oh no! A giant slimy slug!" Her second thought was, "Oh God! Another alien!" And her final thought was "Oh damn! It's making a mess on...
Penny Fey had spent the afternoon assisting preparing the Fey Community Hall on Big Island (the largest island in the Gulf) for the local community's annual ball. She was astonished to learn that a last-minute rush on bookings had filled the hall to capacity and even later request for tickets had to be turned away apologetically. Penny knew that meant a re...
I would love to become a woman's slave like that. Allowing her to pick me up in a strange town, where I have never been. Blindfolding myself for her before she arrives to pick me up.

It had been a hot day, and his journey had taken a disastrous turn. Having been thrown off course, his ship had deposited him here on this seemingly deserted island, left to wander the land in search of survival.

It was an R.C.A.F. radar station, part of the string that formed the Distant Early Warning line from Canada's coast to coast to monitor air traffic entering Canadian air space over the pole. The radar screens were monitored at N.O.R.A.D.'s command post buried deep within a mountain in Colorado. In the event...
After a month of social isolation, I have a pattern. Once a week, I hit the grocery store, the liquor store, and the pharmacy. Very occasionally, I go through a drive-through at McDonalds or Dunkin Donuts to break the monotony of cooking for myself. In between, I content myself with a drive around town or a drive down to the waterfront to sit on the rocks an...
The clock on his dash read 12:58 when he pulled up to the drive thru speaker. He hated these hours, but it paid the bills. And the isolation. He hated the isolation! By the time he got to his desk at 5:30 the only people left were the two day shift ITs he took over from. The little human contact he had was by e-mail and text message. "What would you like to...
