Never in my life have I been in such anticipation of receiving an Amazon package delivery. The USPS driver parked curbside in front of my lawn as I bolted toward him. He probably thought I was crazy; it wasn't even as if it was Black Friday or Christmas or anything: it was literally in the middle of August. He double-checked that the package in his hand was...
Shopping for a birthday gift is always a gamble. Isabel's birthday sneaked up on me and I wanted to get her something unusual. I wanted something that would express my friendship, my sense of humor, but mostly, something cheap. Also, there's a choice when ordering things online: USPS or UPS? In the past I discovered that USPS gets delayed a day, three if it...
Chapter 1: Death of a Friend + The 27th Year of Copernicus + Planetary System: 129542 + Earth Defence Ship - 'Sargasso' (Heavy Carrier) + Current Assignment: Cleansing of Ghastling Hive Asteroid 111 + Soldier: 542 The dream was back. Once again she was surrounded by her dying troops. Their crimson blood sprayed from ruptures in their power armour an...
The blind shall lead the halt. No, wait... I GREW UP IN half a dozen rundown trailer parks around Shiner and Sweet Home, Texas. My folks were killed by a drunk driver when I was nine; unfortunately, the drunk driver was my father. Their estate consisted of a maxed-out MasterCard and a drawerful of unpaid bills, later joined by vaguely threatening letters fr...
"Take a seat, Janice," the braintech said, gesturing toward the chair. I sighed in resignation, as I always disliked being connected to that machine, but knew that it was critical that my every experience and thought from my latest assignment be extracted and stored and analyzed by what was rumored to be the most elaborate, complex, and thorough computer eve...
I stifled a sneeze for the fourteenth time today. When your nose is shoved beside a dusty floor sweep and you are stuck in that position for around five hours boredom takes on a new meaning, and I thought the life of an industrial intelligence freelancer would be all glamour. Granted that time in Laos getting pictures of Hansra Corperation's CTO with that un...
Notes: The rage now are websites where promiscuous spouses meet up clandestinely. In fact one of the major sites has been in the news and I got the idea of this story from a tabloid article I read about that particular one. It's vintage 'c1992w.' For those who know and like my previous work, I hope you enjoy this one as well. For others, hopefully, you will...
The young woman moaned and twisted under her lover. His bulk pinned her helplessly to the bed. His kisses ravaged her mouth, his driving tongue exploring every bit of it. She arched her back, meeting the hard thrusts of his cock with savage punches of her hips. Every stroke plunged deep into her open, dripping pussy. His chest mashed her throbbing nipples ba...
Even now, sitting in the cold and uninviting interview/interrogation room with CIA agent Kristina Bellman and her diminutive Asian-Canadian counterpart, Canadian Security Intelligence Service agent Victor James Lee, I can't believe some of the things I've seen and done. The tall pretty blonde American woman in the smart business suit fixes her steely blue ey...
Marg and Diana arrived back at the house before noon, after the night at Doris's. During the drive back, she asked Diana to describe her feelings about her first assignment. Diana gazed at Marg and smiled sweetly but with a hint of worry in her face. "I hope you were happy with me there, you and Doris did have a talk before we left. I hope I didn't do anyth...
