The library had been pretty uneventful in the months following my encounter with the stranger in the stacks. Things were back to normal much to my dismay. The stacks were quiet and empty once again and I began working more at the front desk hoping to catch the stranger entering the library. I was sure I would catch some glimmer of recognition in his eyes and...
Chapter 2 "Are you certain?" she asked I nodded "You're quite sure?" She paused as if to give me time to reconsider. "Remember slave, once you have committed there is no way back, no return to the old habits, old rules."

7:28 p.m. Mac shifts in his beanbag as he plays online on his PS4, listening to the trash-talking players he is up against.

Closing her jade eyes, she lifted her face towards the sun and soaked up the warm rays. The sound of the tide crashing on the sand started to soothe her angry heart. Her fair skin was flushed and warm f...
You know about earworms, right? Those annoying songs that get stuck in your head and you can't get rid of, playing over and over. Maddening. Songs like... Well, I am not going to start naming any since that would probably trigger one. I take that back, I am going to name one. One that happened to me. The song got more than stuck in my head, I almost feel lik...

'Hey Sally,' greeted Jennifer as soon as she stepped out of the elevator. 'Is Benjamin in his room?' she asked as she indicated towards the closed office door. 'Umm... I guess so, Mrs. Davis,' said Sally as she looked at her watch. 'It's lunch time.' 'How are you, sweetie?' asked Jennifer and looked at her desk filled up with stack of papers. 'Want me to t...
