Please take note that I know that humans, elves and orcs and nymphs and whatnot age differently, this story is in an alternate universe where all the characters age on the same scale as humans. Thank you. *** The weather outside the café was bleak and cloudy – which was no surprise in this mess of an urban tangle reeking with metropolitan pollution and mel...
Chapter Six He was being called on the carpet. Again. He heaved a huge sigh of disgust. The cost of doing this job and doing it the way it was supposed to be done meant pushing limits, pissing people off at times and at others, bending the rules just a bit. He tried to smile at Michelle, to offer a little comfort. There wasn't any reason that she should be...
"Pick what breakfast cereal you want" instructed Christina, my wife as we gently wandered around the supermarket. An innocent comment but when I followed it my life turned upside down. As I crossed the aisle to pick up my packet of Coco Pops I was nearly run down by a trolley. It banged into me and a wheel ran over my foot. I exclaimed and looked up to see...
"Would you like someone to tie you up whilst you have sex?" "What? I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. What was the question?" "Caitlin, pay attention! Question eleven: have you ever let a man tie you up? Nat and I said yes, and Liz will if she ever stops wasting time and lets you-know-who get into her knickers!" "Shut up Jen, I'm just making him wait. I just...
Chapter 1 It was all I could do to not laugh when he I met him. I had been dreading his visit for days. He arrived right on schedule at 9 am on February the 1st, but he wasn't anything like I expected. He was an odd man with an odd name. The home office didn't tell me anything about him. I got a one-line memo that he would arrive on the first and nothing mo...
Lina couldn't believe she was sitting in the outer office of Alerkane Jacy, CEO of Jacy Industries. She smoothed her charcoal skirt down her thighs once again as she wished she'd gone with the pants suit she'd originally picked out. Maggie had vetoed that choice and pulled out a skirt to pair with a deep purple blouse that she said made Lina's skin look like...
Part 24 – Ella looks after her sick Uncle Hey! My name is Ella and I'm going to tell you about my month in Spain looking after my sick Uncle. No sooner than I'd got back to my parent's home at the start of the summer break, my Mom told me that her brother had been seriously ill and was now back at his home, but wasn't able to look after himself. My Mom was...
Large red numbers wavered before Abigail's eyes. She blinked several times and then yawned, hiding her mouth behind her small hand. The room was utterly still and the only sound a faint dripping noise somewhere in the distance. Blinking again, the young woman sat up, idly scratching at the light fur along her midriff. Her hidden claws left tiny red lines a...
Copyright 2012 by madengineer3 My name is John. If I hadn't been up late one night I would have been oblivious to the danger that I was in. I had just bought the latest of Dan Moore's "Meridian's Shadow", science fiction series. My wife must have thought that I had gone to bed early. I normally like to be in bed by ten p.m. (22:00hrs) and she likes to sta...
O.K., I admit I probably shouldn't have done it. But, really, who in their right mind would have expected this? But, then again, who do I know who's in their right mind? Sure, I mean, all the tales warn against doing it, but nobody ever suggests that this can happen. Come on. What? You look puzzled. Maybe I should start at the beginning. Slowly? Right. We...
