My wife, Erin, and I have volunteered to chaperone at the Boy Scout Camp for the past few summers as our sons, Hank, 10 and Henry, 12, have been active in scouts. This summer's camp, the last week in July, was touch and go as the pandemic had made folks cautious about any activities. Fortunately, our week went well but on Friday, officials found out that a t...
“Oh-oh, here comes trouble…again. This is getting to be a regular hassle.” “A regular hassle?” The intern who had stopped to gossip with Annie, Senator Sullivan’s middle-aged secretary, was intrigued. “Regular hassle is right. And you can see her a mile away, with that long ponytail of hers’.” The secretary gestured towards an attractive woman, approachin...

But even then the unicorn shied from me at times when I attempted to ride him. Why were these creatures avoiding me so suddenly? I began to worry if there was something wrong with me....
I went to the house of Lady Arachnes upon my twenty-first birthday. I had been a boy up until that point, and rumor had it that the lady made boys into men.

I notice a bike parked off the shoulder and slow to see if the rider is around. I see no one, and continue my ride. A short distance ahead I see you walking alongside the road.
