The sun has just set outside our house. It's chilly tonight, with the overnight low predicted to be in the teens, and there are still several inches of unmelted snow along the edges of the roads and covering our yard. Inside, however, it is enticingly warm. All afternoon you've kept the flames dancing steadily in the two-sided fireplace that opens to both ou...
Joanne wiped the betraying tear from her cheek with the back of her hand. She had fought hard to keep her emotions hidden from the other typists. From her desk in the back, she had to endure the other women fawning over their gifts as they were delivered one by one. As the clock neared the end of her shift, Joanne's desk still sat undecorated with anything t...

With a groan he awoke, mind fogged with pain and shoulder ablaze by some fire. He struggled to summon the words to curse at whoever had been foolish enough to brand their Guild Master, whether accidently or purposely. By instinct he turned away from that heat and immediately a fresh wave of pain swept through him from his opposite side, as though he had be...
His piercing opaline green eyes glanced sideway at his partner for the night with a bored drawn look. Artificial beauty he mused sardonically. She was perfect alright, too perfect.

I satisfied all of his needs. I'd rub his thick beard and massage his tense shoulders after a long day of chopping wood. I'd lay near the fire as he stroked my soft chest. At night, I'd lay my contented head on his thick fingers. He felt warm and strong. I always felt safe and loved when he was near me. The winter came suddenly that year, and he was home mor...
Bill watches his new neighbor moving in with great lust. Having just seen her for the first time and without even knowing her name, he imagined her in heels and with her hair up. He imagined her escorting him to the Oscars. He imagined sitting with her at the 50-yard line while watching the Super Bowl. He imagined the two of them cruising to some remote, tr...
"Atkins, can you spare one of those peach-colored roses for me today?" I looked up at Mrs. Deershorn sticking her head out the window above me. The sweet old lady was about 65 and lived in the floor above me in this small apartment complex. I had moved in about 4 months earlier after a bad breakup with my longtime girlfriend. One of the reasons I took this...
He had just moved up to Provo, Utah from Texas. His new supervisor position at the call center was generous in the money department, but the social settings of Utah and Salt Lake City were nearly unbearable. Paying to become a "club" member to drink "beer" was nearly intolerable. And once winter set it, trips to Nevada, Wyoming, & Colorado were nearly imposs...
Drew knew I was off work today. He knew I was restless and bored. He seemed pleased by this. I sat on the couch, blandly looking at the television. I felt his thoughts run into mine.
