"We're the only psychological research going this summer," said Professor Draper ("call me Don," he instructed when he hired me to do video for his research project this summer). He and Anna, his assistant, were showing me the place where Anna and I would be working the next seven weeks. The lab looked like what you see on TV cop shows — mirrored glass wall...
We watched as Margery and Tom walked toward her dorm. "Nice couple. How long have you known them?" asked Janice. "Margery and I belong to the same club," I said. "I met Tom when I was desperate for help to set up the video system for the psych research project I'm working on this summer. He's a whiz at this stuff, which is a good thing, because I'm not. I...
"You a juice-aholic or something?" Carrie teased as I slid onto the stool. "Nope, barfly," I grinned winningly. "Lolita?" "No, something more exotic." "Shirley Temple then." "Great." "Two bucks off when I punch your membership card, first one's virtually free." It was nearly closing time and SOL was dead. The orange juice in the tall glass was tangy...
Go to class, review, eat, sleep, repeat. By Wednesday, the last day of classes, I'd covered everything and was serenely confident. My first exam was Friday, then one on Saturday, two on Monday, and the last on Wednesday. I'd suggested to Wendy that we have dinner around eight, at the top of one of the dorms, a rooftop restaurant more known for its views tha...
It's been over a month since the night with Mrs. Adleson. I've had moments when I've doubted it even happened, that I dreamed it all, then I pull out the note, the one she left me with one word,"MINE." It even has her scent on it which drives me wild. I get so excited when I think about her and that's most of the time. I wonder if I was just a passing fanc...
I had not known how long we had driven, once I was lead into the Therian's white van, and took a spot in the seatless rear end of the van, as the Therian woman and Mike took the driver's seat and passenger seat, but I must had drifted into a sleep deprived doze, because within what felt like minutes of driving, I was shaken abruptly awake. My eyes snap hea...
Milly's head drooped, her tail shadowing the movement as her internal muscles contracted and relaxed around parts of the plug making it curl up between her legs nearly touching her stomach. Mr Thomas leaned forward and clipped the end of the leash to her collar next to her name tag. One side of the tag had her name stamped on the metal, the other side bore...
It took my brain a little while, but the strangeness and vagueness of everything around me clued me into the fact I was dreaming. Switching perspectives and locations. People swimming in and out of situations that I couldn't even describe in my dream state. There were flashes of solid memories. Flashes of concrete actions. But then, as is the case with so ma...
At the next weekly luncheon date after her date with Hank Doran, when Diana met with Makayla Brown, her best friend, and classmate at the School of Nursing of the University of Michigan, she had lots of happy information to impart. She described all the details of her spectacular date with Hank Doran. She listed all the attributes she discerned in him. Final...
I'd made my high school years tough by hanging with the "nerds" and the "geeks." Not that it wasn't correct to call us that, it's just that I didn't like being singled out and called names. But I had to admit it.'It's true, it's what I am.' There wasn't a lot of uniformity in our group. We were distinguished by our prickly concentrations on our selves. W...
