A note to my readers: This is actually Part 2 of "How far will you go?" I apologize in advance for the change of name and the change of category. I tried, at the first of this part, to fill in people who haven't read the first one, but of course, nothing will replace you doing so. I do encourage you to read that one before reading this one.

I am sorry this took longer to finish than expected. This began at forty pages and is now over eighty. A few specific passages didn't work for me and it took a while to break them down and rewrite them with more detail and I feel a better flow to them. Just a word with everything that is going on. Be safe, take care of yourselves, and I wish you health and...
I love summer. I hate the heat and the humidity, especially in the City. But I do love the Summer. Dresses get shorter and heels get higher. The variety of heels and skirts that shuffle, hobble and march their way down the streets is amazing. Sure there are the skinny girls that would look good in a potato sack, but those often can't walk in heels. A woman...
This story plays fast and loose with Ancient History and Linguistics; be warned. There are two distinct phases of falsehood. In the first, you realize you can lie to those closest to you. In the second, you realize you shouldn't. Editing magic performed by KJ24 and Shyqash, plus contributions by the regular gang of brigands and neer-do-wells. There is a b...
Ben wasn't very appreciative of his roommate's request. After all it was his house, and Tony was simply a casual friend who as paying him rent. What right did he have to ask what he was asking? "I know it's a lot to ask. But I promised my mother I would try. I'll understand if you say no." Ben sat back and tried to form the words in a nice way. He wasn't g...
To my fans, both of you: I'm terribly sorry it has been so long since my last submission. I have not forgotten, but the vicissitudes of life have prevented earlier posting. If you have not read the preceding parts recently, it might be a good idea to refresh your memory before getting into this portion of the story. If you have not read the first four parts,...
Joe drove. Barry sat silently in the back. I shivered in the front seat, huddled against the door, alone with my thoughts, alone with my confused feelings of shock and disbelief. I totally didn't know what to think. It must have shown on my face. Joe reached over with one hand, took mine, and gave it a squeeze. He was still holding my hand when we turned off...
It was mid summer and even though the windows faced north onto the lake, bright morning light poured into the bedroom by five thirty. Katherine woke up with butterflies in her stomach. Today at lunchtime she knew her life would forever change, that she was headed somewhere from which there was no turning back once she went there. For twenty five years she a...
This story was inspired by a real experience provided by an anonymous reader. I hope this brief story measures up in some way. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tim had been wanting to ask Kimmie Owen out for quite some time. Actually, quite a long time. She was such a pretty girl. Anybody could see that. She was terribly cute. She had sweet blue eyes...
1. First encounter I met her on my first trip to Japan, while traveling with my wife, who is also Japanese. I was right away drawn to the fact that there is anyone actually named Yayoi, which just sounds like too much fun to be a real, traditional Japanese name, but it is. She seemed very serious when I first met her, dressed in a suit-ish kind of thing, t...
