Four years ago... Nathaniel snorted as he watched Faith sway towards the bathrooms. She was very green, 20 years old, one year of intense training, and just barely holding her liquor. Of course he was only a few years older, but he felt eons older after all he'd seen in the past few years. Faith had completed the final part of her training undercover with...
LETTING GO I wondered how will it be. How she will be. How us will be. If there still was "us". But I knew somewhere deep within myself that there wasn't. But in my rationally unrational mind there still was "us". Or at least some pathetic resemblance of it. She had moved on ages ago, even before I sensed something was wrong. Women are like that – they ju...
A Sara's Secret War Story * Author's Note The first story I ever wrote on this site was a tale called Sara's Secret Crush. It eventually evolved into a trilogy and a prequel. But as first efforts often go, it was not my best work. As cringe-worthy as that first effort was, I do like the speculative future aspect of the story and the dystopian world in whi...
Adina's fever burned through her like a vicious entity possessing her body. Being sick was a normal part of life in the wastes. You either survived it or you didn't. But she'd never been sick like this, even when she'd nearly died of influenza when she was sixteen. The awful feeling of being too sick to sleep and everything else that came with it wracked her...
This is part 3 of an ongoing story. It can be read alone, but shouldn't be. ֎ I stood up then and let the gun drop on to the couch. He was still staring up at me and I smiled at him. "That was amazing Officer Thompson. You were right, nothing wrong with a little anal play. Right?" He still didn't say anything and I sighed and shook my head at him. He re...

I do not make any money from the writing of this story. ***** Kara groaned softly and opened her eyes to a beautiful sunny day, and a beautiful woman lying next to her in bed, both things making her smile with blissful happiness. Which was very telling, as even before she remembered everything t...
Alex sat facing the open door in his power wheelchair. He was waiting for his speech therapists, having had a mild stroke 4 months earlier. He and his wife, Jane, had become quite fond of the 40ish-year-old Paula. His wife sat watching TV. "She's here." He soon announced. His speech had vastly improved and he was the nearing the end of his sessions. The t...
Tricksters are often the most reviled of all the Gods. They are most commonly found meddling in the lives of mortals. Victor brushed his hair behind an ear and took a sip of bourbon. A double with a single ice cube. The bar he sat in was quiet, with only a handful of people in the place, and none of them near the booth Victor sat in. Victor was, by all acco...
I'm a jockey. Not just a jockey, but a jockey that wins race after race. My services are in great demand and because of this, I am well off financially. There are already rumors in the right circles I will ride in the Kentucky Derby. If selected, and if I win, I will be a shoe in for the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes. Dare I dream it? I could be a Triple...
I am a clinical psychologist, ten years out of college and practicing in a large west coast city. Your normal, everyday shrink deals with relatively healthy subjects who need counseling. The 'clinical' mind doctor like myself takes on the more difficult psyches, those with paranoia, schizophrenia, other such psychoses and mental illnesses. I have also adde...
