"What a fucking wasted weekend,” Brad said to himself as he walked down the street in this little hick town along the coast of this southeastern state. He only had one more night and then he was going to ship out in the morning. He hated getting on that damn ship but the United States Marine Corps didn't really give a big rat's ass what he wanted. It's not t...
"Jesus, it's a bit seedy round here, isn't it?" I said to my wife as we walked out of the movie theatre and headed towards a row of cabs at the end of the street. I hadn't noticed when we entered the theatre early in the evening, but now that it was dark things seemed very different. "Yeah, I guess so," my wife replied. "It's always had a bit of a reputatio...
Doug had a photograph of Grandma and Aunt Doro on the beach, which he had kept on his desk throughout his four years at Columbia. Snapshots of various buddies and girlfriends had come and gone, and for appearance's sake he had occasionally also displayed a picture of his mother when he could stand to; but Grandma and Aunt Doro were there with him throughout...

It is Friday night and I am in the mood for a quiet drink on the way home from work. Not wanting to go with my friends to one of the busier bars I make my excuses and head out. There is a small English style bar on my way home that has always interested me but I have never been to. Tonight I decide to check it out. The bar is very quiet considering it is Fri...
I walk into the bar on SW Alaska Street just after 5pm and sit down at a table. At that point, I had not had sex for four years, one month, one week, and three days. It had been even longer since I had been out on a real date. ===== At first it was by choice, then habit. Finally fear. I didn't just avoid women, I avoided humankind as much as I co...
"Excuse me. Did you just put this song on?" I sipped my beer, smiled and said, "Indeed I did." "It's an odd choice for a bar but I wanted you to know that I love it. It's one of my favorite songs of all time." This TIme Tomorrow by The Kinks. It was one of those days. Work sucked and I needed to unwind, so I went to the bar for a few beers in hopes that t...
The rain just kept coming down, a steady flow that would not let up so that she could run across the complex without being drenched completely. She just wanted to get a drink then she could sleep tonight properly and the bar was so close yet so far away with the rain coming down as it was. Her nerves were shot and she just wanted a drink, damn it who cares s...
Watching him from across the room, Sara couldn't know for sure what it was that attracted her to him. He was not the most physically alluring man in the room, or the most graceful, or even the best dressed. All she knew was that he possessed something that triggered her basest desires. As she tore at the paper label on her lukewarm bottle of water, her eyes...
So here I was, just another normal night at the Tumble on Inn. It was a quaint little bar in a quiet part of the city, one with hotel rooms that couples could rent should they chose to stay the night with one another. However, I was never one of them, just a regular from the neighborhood that came in for a few after a long day at the office. As usual, I too...
