My name is Kim, and I'm writing to tell some of the stories that I participated in--and that my friends and non-friend participated in--in the South Florida city where we lived for about three years. We moved there so that my boyfriend, Joel, could open his used and rare record and book store, Vinyl & Pulp. I had gotten a job in the Housing office at the Lib...
Chapter 1 Looking back, I guess I'd have to say that that moment was the turning point. I was at my desk, running through files of policy holders who had lapsed, gone elsewhere with their business. In any case, I was going through a dry spell and wasn't beneath calling these people to see if I could lure them back into the fold and back to my personal plus...
I heard the talk from the hallway, indistinguishable words fading even before I reached the break room door. Inside, three of my co-workers shifted in the silence, sipping cheap coffee. They were like most of the people here, still shunning me as the new guy. I wasn't sure if I should hold it against them. I was brought in because of flailing production and...

Artemi bent the diminutive girl over the cot and spanked her until each pale cheek was blushing scarlet. Then she grabbed the timid creature by her dark curls, coaxing from her a whimper, and yanked her backward until her back arched and she was staring up with mascara-stained eyes. "Enough dragon tears, slut. I know exactly who you are." Artemi said befor...
Peter's head was swimming. He felt like he was going a million miles an hour, in all directions. And if it weren't for the pounding in his skull, he might've thought someone had slipped him something. He didn't think he was even seeing colors right. "Peter? Is that you?" A voice. A woman's voice. Familiar. Black... Felicia? "Jesus, it is. I never forget a b...
CHAPTER 41 We had no time to recuperate completely. Thankfully, one of us was whole. Taurin and I walked stiffly, constantly taking in deep breaths as an indication of aches and pains. We were going to Zanzibar's so I could pick the brain of Patrick about the bullets. Thoughts about using a gun on Oldavai continued to race through my head. I still had no id...
Sarah squinted her eyes as she typed. It was almost three in the morning, but she couldn't stop herself from pouring her words out onto her screen. *********************************** I love you Mike. I can't help it, I always will. I think about us together all the time. Bodies wound up together, touching, longing. Touching your face, sliding my hands...
CHAPTER 3 On Thursday Gwen called publisher Guy Fennell to break off their adulterous relationship. "It's Gwen. Look would it be okay if we were to stop having our Friday you know what?" After a surprised pause Guy answered, "Probably not. What's come up?" "I have a housekeeper and she's so bright I feel she'd be on to me in a flash. She's already dollie...
There's much to be said for knowing rich people, even if you aren't yourself. My best buddy from college, for example, is one of those guys whose family goes back generations, and every one of them invested wisely. Even he doesn't know how much money he has, but it's more than he'll ever need or be able to spend. Not that you'd know it if you met him- he swa...
