Chapter Nine Intrepid - 3756 C.E. Despite her being imprisoned within an impenetrable force field, Beatrice was still able to monitor the Intrepid's steady progress towards the Anomaly. Because she had an entire Proxima Centauri space fleet at her disposal, she could do this rather more comprehensively than anyone else on the space ship with the obvious exc...
James met Carrie at an evening dance class offered by the university recreation department. He was 18. She was 32. He was just starting his second semester as a college freshman. She had just returned to college after divorcing her husband. It seemed they had absolutely nothing in common, except their isolation and loneliness. James lived on campus, but did...
Like everyone else at work during the Covid pandemic I was self-isolating, working at home. Fortunately my company has an excellent IT system. Since I split with my woman I was living alone and I was missing socialising, and the pubs and bars. Another thing I missed was the office eye candy. In our open plan office I'm constantly treated to a voyeur's paradi...
Stuck at Home -- Chapter 1 Being cooped up inside due to this COVID-19 virus was driving me nuts but not how you would think; not with cabin fever or going stir crazy with in-home isolation but the lack of freedom. You see my girlfriend Laura with whom I share the house with was also cooped up with me. Normally, I would work in my home office while Laura wo...
HIS MAIL ORDER DOMME Hume Wells knelt on the hard marble floor of his Colonial house. Hume was wearing only thigh high white stockings, with frilly tops, and shivered slightly. Hume watched dispiritedly as Stolichnaya smiled into the phone. "That's right. He can't visit right now. He's not really into live music." She paused. "Yes, he told me how much he...
I remember years ago while in the military, talking with one of the men under my command who had since passed away. He told me about the small town he had come from. The town was a pretty nice place except for the name and a corrupt and lazy police force. I could never forget the name of the town it was too funny. It was called Hell. There weren't any major...
Sandra stood up and yawned after memorizing her daily twenty five pages of the notes on the celtion dissertation on humans and mortality in art. Sandra had a way about her that made one think of distinction and statuesque competence. At five foot six she was above average height and her grace in movement was apparent as she glided around the perimeter of her...
Laura was the first to break our cuddling. "I'm going to have a shower, then you better have one too and get ready." I didn't understand what she meant by "get ready" but I didn't want to question my girlfriend. After all just being caught out dressed up in women's lingerie and having breast forms glued on to my chest was bad enough; agreeing to her conditi...
"I don't know how to feel about this," I said. "What do you mean?" "This..." I waved vaguely. "Talking about payment, about ... services." I frowned, and so did she. "I just..." It took me a long time to find the words. "I spent a lot of my life trying not to treat women as objects," I said finally. I gestured at her body. "Trying to see past the skin,...
This is my first submission. Your comments and feedback are appreciated. Hoping to continue forward with these characters. * Sometimes, events can change the needs of us common humans. A few weeks ago, life seemed so care free. Then surprisingly, a pandemic threatened to change all we have known. We have to think before we embrace, keeping a healthy distan...
