After a long walk along the beach, we came to a place where large boulders had been arranged in a line paralel to the shore to stop erosion. We sat side by side on one of the rocks and continued our conversation. The air was warm and the breeze from the ocean made the late morning air cool and comfortable. As we sat side by side and talked , you began casu...
I was cold. Some jungle bird had screeched in the distance waking me. I couldn’t get up though we were lying as sausages in a pan close together. Miles behind me and Blondie in front. The guys had magnanimously decided us girls would be safer if we were sandwiched with them on the outside. Being this close to virtual strangers wasn’t really my idea of fun....
Year 2183 of the Empire (since Foundation Year) Year 979 of the Third Era of Empire (Dragonheart Line) Iovis, the twenty-second day of First Seed Mid-morning "Contact, sir!" I was in the middle of writing in my diary that I didn't quite hear what was said to begin with, so I had to turn around to see Miranda in the doorway. "What was that?" I asked...
"No, you're a bigger idiot than I am!" "You really think so? I hate to disappoint you, but you're not fooling anyone with a face like that Kim.." I made a pouty face and pretended to be heartbroken, holding my chest and making dramatic gestures. Tom just carried on walking, leaving me a couple of steps behind, then turned around briefly to stick his tongue...
Both women were now beginning to appreciate the tremendous advantages of this new means of travel. Verla even admitted the next day that she was no longer afraid of the great height in which the Rumar made them climb. They were now covering over two hundred miles each day and the warming of the temperature was beginning to be quite noticeable also. By the e...
Long distance relationships are hard, especially in those all-important early months when you spend every moment talking, touching and kissing and fucking. When it's long-distance 20 out of every 24 hours together are usually spent naked and in bed; the only time clothing is of any use is to answer the door to the pizza guy or to make those annoying but nece...
When Freddy Gordon hired in at J. Carrol Grady publishing, he expected to rise to the top - not quickly, necessarily - but eventually. This had never happened. Since day one, if there were odd jobs, from mopping, to fetching lunch, or coffee, Freddy was the one they sent. The phrase "...we'll send'in the kid." had become synonymous with he, in particula...
I was driving through Illinois on a rainy evening in late March. My destination, Savannah, was still many miles down the road. The driving rain, bumpy roads and lack of sleep all contributed to the fatigue I was beginning to feel. A mileage marker showed that Champaign was 140 miles away and, although I planned to drive straight through, a warm bed was very...

I don't know about you, but there are a couple story types that I often read about but believe they could never happen to me. Like meeting a girl in a bar and taking her outside to my car and banging her in the back seat soon after meeting her. A great fantasy, but in reality, not very possible. I've often wondered about those stories of the poker parties...
