It was awful. Michelle had known Mike and Louise for years, they had been to each others house-parties many times. Now it had turned out that they had a second life, where they had been to wild show-business events and now the first time that they'd joined them at such an event Mike had died. Mike and Louise had stayed on at the party after Derek and Michel...
In spite of one particular uncalled-for sick comment made to my last submission, I am still going ahead with this narrative as I firmly believe that 99.9999999999% of readers are genuine healthy individuals. This is for them and not the vindictive ones. That particular comment was so abusive that I deleted it immediately, and I would do so again. Please no...
Author's note: This is my second sci-fi category story. Creating a world with consistent internal logic is difficult. I'm requesting comments of all kinds to help me improve my writing. Thanks! * A woman and her Companion I sit. Bunk is here. Water is here. Toilet is here. The air is only clean, chemical smells. I tried the bars. They do not move. I calle...
Note: This is a story that I lived through. Some names have been changed, some have not. I tried not to embellish.

Many thanks to sr71plt and hfernandez1983 for proofreading the story and for providing advice. ***** This story requires a bit of ba...
Cracks and hisses came from the roaring fire as Donal' sat leaning back against the side of the hearth. He had spent another uneventful day waiting for the night to come and Mhari to appear. He watched her run her tongue over her lips, concentration on her face. She held up a hand and ran her thumb over the tips of her fingers. Satisfied with the result she...
Prologue - Kalliya Kalliya leaned against the open window sill, her naked, coffee brown skin pressed against the cool grey stone, long black hair tugged gently by the breeze. Behind her she could hear the sharp staccato of the demon Gaermeon's hooves on the tower's wooden floor as she moved behind her. Ahead of her, through the window, she had an amazing vi...
The first thing I heard when I come close to the hot springs was the sound of a girl laughing. Now, I was formerly known to be somewhat bashful around womenfolks, but that was back when I was a boy. Now, fresh off my grand tour of the mountains, I was a man. I climbed off my old mule and tied him to a tree and eased up over the rocks around back of the po...
It was twilight on the peninsula that marked the northernmost tip of the southern continent, a place where the weather was always balmy and mild, though the inhabitants were seldom as pacific as the climate. Arun was a major port of call for all kinds of travellers. Merchants sailing north or south, mercenaries temporarily between wars, priests on pilgrimage...
I met her at an industry function. I was talking to some colleagues when suddenly she was at my side, listening intently, patiently. I had actually met her before but had forgotten her name – she was the girlfriend of a bloke I vaguely knew. Amanda? Rebecca? Jane? What was her name?

Adam smiled. If the two women he shared a house with wanted to play strip poker who was he to argue yet being the gentleman he was he did ask if they were both absolutely sure they wanted to do this.
