Beth lived alone in a cabin on top of a large hill in a small town in Tennessee. She had recently lost her husband in a tragic logging accident. She locked herself away from the world after that, and refused to have anything to do with family or friends. In the dark of a stormy night she sat reading in bed when a large strike of lighting sent white light th...
'I thought of you this morning when the sun came up, Tessa,' Kim said, hearing her friend pad up behind her as she splashed her feet in the stream. 'And was this a good thought, Kim?' Tessa replied, reaching down to touch Kim's shoulder and then crouching down besides her under the cool green canopy. She let her legs fold slowly beneath her until she was s...
The sun rose, bathing the landscape with its eerie light. In what was once the City of Ottawa, Ontario, plenty of creatures were stirring. The rats, squirrels, feral cats, stray dogs and whatnot. Their numbers have skyrocketed since the humans vanished, and the dead metropolis has become their new domain. They like to run from me, and being super slow since...
Lady Sheba lives in the mythical time of Lords, Wizards, Knights, Majesties and the most evil of all, the dragon. Living in the castle high up on the hill, her castle looks over the entire land. Although Lady Sheba is a beautiful woman, many look upon her as evil as she herself holds that power that many of the women in her land desire to have. Lady Sheba is...
It started as one of those days and all I could think of was the amazing plans that I had that were seemingly going to be devastated by the weather. In my part of the world, when it begins to rain, preceded by the growth of an ugly dark cloud, you know it will be long and hard. In these situations you have to have plans for extended indoor activity and I did...
Daniel watched as the woman passed by him without even noticing he was there. It happened almost every day of his life. People simply walked by him. Most of the time they didn't see him, or they pretended not to. It was the life of a priest or a priest in training like himself. He had grown up in a quiet monastery that sat atop a Himalayan hill overlooking t...
Forgive me, Dear Reader, for I have sinned. Again. It has been several days since my last confession, and my depravity weighs heavy on my soul, I must unburden myself. Hopefully, through you, I will find redemption. But I have my doubts. Gasoline. Grease. Diesel. Fresh cut lumber. Exhaust. These smells turn me on. These are, to me, inherently *male* smel...
Samantha and I have been co-workers for 5 1/2 years. I am the CEO and she is the event manager. We travel a lot together doing conferences but I always made it a rule to not screw the crew so nothing ever happened except for the odd sneaky kiss. Until this most recent trip. We were having a 4 day conference at an exotic location so a couple of mate and I a...
Billy's Farmer's Market was deserted this autumn Wednesday, excepting for Billy Jr. He had a small bottle of an experimental drug he had stolen a few weeks ago. One drop made you utterly obedient to any spoken word and unable to remember afterward. He and his 3 buddies tried it a few weeks ago on a middle-aged Chinese woman who had stopped at the vegetable s...
Patron saint of love and lovers. The patron saint of love, lovers, and happy marriages has a change of heart. Did you ever stop and wonder why we have a Saint Valentine's Day? Did you ever wonder who Saint Valentine was and what he did to earn such a saintly perch in the Catholic religion? By the way, no other holiday, not even Christmas, is celebrated as...
