He is an unremarkable mote of life inhabiting an unremarkable planet in an unremarkable galaxy, a galaxy occupying the unfathomable vastness of space with other...
I had the toughest time with the ending for this story. I had three different endings written before someone told me to pick a certain one she liked. I was not planning on publishing this story either and the person who picked the ending convinced me to post the story as well. ***** Kristi Capello thought about consequences of what she was about to do for...
Please read the chapters in order. None of the chapters are stand-alone. There is a very important message prior to Chapter One... please read it. Thanks.

This story is homage to those old Penthouse stories your father used to read and you found under his bed. The ones that always started with the first line "I know you won't believe this but every word is true". This is our take on that story. ***** I know you won't believe this but every word is true. My name is Blake and I work in an office with about a...
This is the third feature in a short series of true stories. My biggest critics so far, have called attention to the fact that I spend a great deal of time telling about the peripheral items, conditions and circumstance. This one is no different.
