Marnie could feel herself drawn to the army barracks again, like every other Friday evening. She would always finish at 5pm sharp at the Real Estate office where she worked as a receptionist and she would drive the short distance to the training barracks. At this time of the day the soldiers were always milling around before going to the mess tent for dinn...
My first short story, Feedback welcomed. This story contains no sex. Just saving ya'll some time. ************************************************* "Morgan, why did you get us out of bed at this time of night?" We'd walked up to Morgan's booth at Dusty's, the closest I'd ever seen to a neighborhood pub west of the Mississippi. We'd all had good times her...
The Senior Judge had a reputation as a stickler for the rule of law, quick with the gavel to reprimand and hold in contempt any who might dare to violate the decorum of her courtroom. But her Honor was to find it was she who would lose all control of the proceedings -- the day he showed up in her court. His kiss left her breathless, flushed, panting through...

I unexpectedly felt her body push in return against me as I pressed into her back. Her soft hair, now slightly tousled, brushed along my cheek. As I reached for her again to steady myself, she looked back to me. The unexpected glare that met mine brought me back to reality. "Can't you pay attention to where you're going for even a minute?" she mumbled. Blu...
The flight home seemed to take forever. I had decided, with mixed emotions, to spend the first two weeks of February in New Orleans. Granted, I had to endure long lectures and endless role playing for a Certificate in Conflict Resolution but that was still better than enduring snow and mind numbing cold in Minnesota. But spending those 14 nights without Caro...
I was walking back to my office after a late night meeting at the courthouse, when I paused in front of the window of a Laundromat. I could see a light from a small office in the back and a young lady reading a book. Then as I looked at the reflection of a tall man with a grey beard, my thought flowed back to 1967 when I was a young law student. It was an u...
Someone once told me that Bulgarians shake their heads up and down when they mean 'no,' and side to side when they mean 'yes.' * * * I followed Ana through the house as if I had broken in. Every time a board creaked, I froze, waiting for the effect. She took me upstairs to her room. I wondered if she would like the way I looked when I was naked. I wondered...
Eleanor began to realize that she was in a very dangerous situation when she appeared at the District Court for Women for the first time since the new order had taken control. Women now were totally in charge and the most serious problems seemed to be relations with other women. Eleanor had been summoned to the court after she had been discovered by an att...
You can tell it's fall again. The wind's blowing enough to almost knock one over, the fans in the dorm windows have stopped blowing, and the ground is covered with dead leaves. When walking around campus, one can't help but notice that, while ditziness remains in full force, the short shorts and skirts are gone, replaced with the atrocious combination of swe...
