Two years after the discovery of Gliese 948c, the lab-frigate "Darwin 9" rested on the surface of the large, green planet. It was an old craft with a crew of only 52 scientists and 7 well-armed scouts. With so many new planets to explore, the Alliance couldn't spend a lot resources on a planet so far away, regardless of the fact that it had an impressive res...
...geography, philosophy, history, nothing social anthropology a lot of nothing... - Tuli kupferburg ***** A LOT OF NOTHING Christmas Eve. I took the ferry over to the French Quarter. I just wanted to experience the Vieux Carré when it's quiet. Didn't see how it could be much quieter than Christmas Eve. A stiff wind blowing down Royal Street makes it...
Margot and Adam had three children. Each one took more and more space and time away from them as a couple and after many trials and difficulties that come along with children, a glorious accomplishment had finally been achieved, the two boys, Linus and Liam, 5 and 3 respectively, had fallen asleep at 10pm. Ella, the 2month old, was starting to make the faces...
"Where is she?" He murmured conspiratorially as she opened the door. "Where is the mistress of the house?" "Out at church, sir," she curtsied and looked up at his tall frame in the doorway. "And where is master?" "He went to mass too, sir." "Who are you then?" "Margot." "So, you have been to mass earlier?" "I have that, sir." "Good girl." "I like t...
With the start of pre-season training camps, I was spending a lot of time working the phones to find trades to package off a few fairly promising non-roster players that had looked good in practice but couldn't win a roster spot with us for this season. I'd found a deal that I thought I could live with but I was still frankly hoping for something a bit bette...
It took about three months after my divorce until I started to feel something other than depressed. For three months, and for the year prior to the divorce, I'd felt like a failure; bitter, hopeless, and lonely. And after those three months of, well, grieving, I guess, I started to feel something else. Free. It was time to do something crazy. Something I ne...
Notes from the author: Greetings all. FYI, this series is a spin-off from my debut series "See Through Me." It can be read separately, but there is a lot of content that stems from it. One thing to be aware of if you do decide to read the "See Through Me" series, is that it features a significant amount of non-consent and reluctance, as well as various gen...
Based on things we really did, but this part is mainly fiction. You can have more fun in the mind if there are no real consequences. Later that day . . . Margot came back a little woozy from her massage and just lay down on the chaise. Pat got her a drink and pulled his chair up next to hers. I pulled up next to Sean. We all talked and sipped our dr...
Actually my wicked plans for dominating and oppressing Margot were actually extremely minimal. I was going to make her dress up nicely for me and then, like candy under my arms, I was going to take her about to all of the 'can't miss' places I knew of in San Francisco, and I knew hundreds just off the top of my head. In actuality, getting to even the top lay...
It was an October Friday night before UT homecoming, and my sorority sisters Margot and Julie were staying at my house so we could leave early for Knoxville the next morning. My husband Jack had a quick drink with us before heading off to bed, leaving us girls to catch up. Within minutes, Margot confided in Julie and me about her newest love interest. "OK...
