We all lead different lives. And none of us is exactly what he or she appears to be. The same holds true for me, I guess. My name is Farah Al-Mokhtar, and I was born in the City of Khor Angar in the Republic of Djibouti. I've been living in the City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario, for the past fifteen years. I'm twenty years old. A lot of people are surprise...
I wish people would stop paying attention to what doesn't concern them and just mind their own damn business but that's just wishful thinking. My name is Paul Jean Renard, and I'm a young Black man of Haitian descent living in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. I attend Carleton University, where I study business administration. I also work part-time as a security...
EVERY CHARACTER IS OVER 18 YEARS OLD "Which bathing suit should I pack?" my girlfriend Lori asked. I stuck my head out of the bathroom. In one hand she held a modest one piece bathing suit and in the other she had what could only be described as a bikini. I couldn't help but laugh.

Looking into Laban Suleiman's eyes, Khadija Osman gently stroked his face, then asked him if he was ready. The big and tall Somali man nodded, and inhaled sharply.

I was born in the town of Moncton, Province of New Brunswick, to a French Canadian father and Leban...
Salome Rosenthal, that's my name. With such a moniker, I might as well have 'Jewish Broad' tattooed on my forehead. I was born in the City of Tel Aviv, Israel, to an American Christian mother and Israeli Jewish father. I was raised Jewish, though. My parents, Benjamin Rosenthal and Maeve O'Connell are divorced, have been for a decade. A lot of interfaith mar...
"They're talking about us, they're mocking us in Arabic," Yolanda Aoun said softly, her head down as she spoke.

Normally calm, cool and collected, the towering, Chicago-born brother bristle...
If my family knew I were doing this, they'd kill me and then dig me up and kill me all over again. Oh, well. What they don't know can't hurt them. My name is Rana Al-Sharif and I'm a young woman of Saudi Arabia descent living in the City of Toronto, Ontario. I'm in my first year at Humber College, and I've experienced a brand new world since moving to Ontari...
Chapter 8. The Lebanese Lesbian The focus of Ludlow’s investigations soon centred on the University’s Professor of Mathematics. Her name was Layla, on loan from the University of Beirut, a part of the much-lauded foreign-exchange program. The Board of Regents of the University would not have been quite so excited to learn that she was using her position to...
Jim arrived early for the meeting; his face filled with the boyish excitement that made this 35-year-old man so attractive. The fact that he was 6 feet tall with dark short-cropped hair and the slender with the build of a much younger man also helped. He carried with him a large black plastic shopping bag, a clear sign he had been to the local adult "Toy Sto...
