Dr. Wells lay in her improvised seat aboard the Soyuz capsule grinning from ear to ear. It had taken her years to get to this: the college work, application to the space program, the astronaut training. And now here she was, strapped into position aboard the Soyuz which had just docked with the International Space Station. As the hatch opened, the three oth...
"Do you have something against humans?" Elena asked as she walked with Kaylinani on her shoulder. The little plush-turtle still looked adorable even if it was just a disguise for the immortal turtle goddess. "Only the propaganda that your kind represents," the turtle replied telepathically as to not break character on the crowded beach. "Propaganda?" Elena...
I love Friday nights. After a week of hard work, there's nothing better than finishing it off with a few beers with fellow businessman. "Networking" we call it. It's where most of the business is done these days. It's the modern golf course. And where you get business men networking, you often get secretaries doing their own networking. And there were quite...
I already know that by the time I finish telling this story you're going to think I'm either crazy or a liar. Frankly, I don't care what you think or believe. Here's what happened... Last Halloween I got invited to a party by a couple of guys that I know casually from work. I figured what the hell, I'll go have a few beers, check out some of the female tale...
Standing naked in the cavernous master bedroom Salvator's green eyes bounced from the mahogany armoire with brass handles to a dozen or so crystal picture frames pasted with the faces a happy couple.

She was young, probably not much more than 18. I was in Jamaica with my wife (now my ex-wife), and I had snuck off to the area of the resort that included the nude beach. Even at the relatively mature age of 40, I was still new to the reality of public nudity, and I couldn't get over the idea of naked women lying out in the open for me to see. I had parked...
The summer sun glimmered on the emerald sea as the waves broke against the shore, swallowing up the tiny footprints in the sand. Isabelle was a tall red-haired girl now in her 23rd year. She strode along the beach with her dress fluttering in the warm breeze, vexed by matters of the heart - and feared that her longing would be unrequited. Richard had grown...
"What's a skinny dip?" my wife asked. There was just a hint of Danish accent in her American English, and I caught a trace of it in the way she pronounced "skinny dip." I scrolled through my second language vocabulary and, although I speak fluent Danish, I came up empty. "It's when you go swimming naked, Heidi," I said, unable to find a single word synonym...
"Hello beautiful, what are you reading?" He I opened, trying to engage her. "Oh, hello Carl. I'm just reading mindless fiction. A story about a crime." "Is it good? Is it worth reading?" He was lost in her eyes, how green they were like a garden at the bottom of the ocean. "It is an all right read but nothing to waste your time with. You probably would no...
