The world ended ever so suddenly. At first, people were talking about getting the cure to cancer. Then the world ended. How did we get to where we are right now? Men started dying, and it wasn't normal too. They started to lose their muscle mass and strength. Very soon they were dried up husks and they just withered away. The scientific community and the rel...
Samy was sitting at the island in the kitchen staring out the window that was above the sink. The sun was sinking fast and her page was still empty. She gave a frustrated growled and slammed the laptop closed. "Why can't I think of anything?" she mumbled getting a drink. "Talking to yourself?" asked a voice. Luke was standing there watching her struggle to...
A note from After Dusk: Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this story would gain popularity. I started it because I was intrigued by the thought of a human and a centaur mating-most of the stories I have read regarding such just don't seem to do the actual mechanics of it justice and I thought I would take a stab to see if I could improve it any. I wr...
Chapter 03D FOOLS RUSH IN My name is William Maitland. I'm an Assistant State Attorney in Jacksonville, Florida. I'm the poster child for workaholics, having thrown away one of the hottest women in Jacksonville and my two children and a 20 year relationship because I couldn't maintain a life apart from my job as the top working prosecutor in Jacksonville...
This is NOT a stand alone story! There is no sex in the story. I've tried to make it realistic, so don't expect Jonathan to have been a former SEAL able to visit vengeance on Susan and Rich. While I'm going for a different ending than Nici in her "Something to talk about" and "Between Two Lovers" I've tried to keep the characters as she wrote them. That does...

He needed to add her to his accounts. He had already put her in his will to receive everything in case anything happened to him, but she was listed as his housekeeper. As soon as he had th...
Author's notes: This story is loosely (very loosely) based on actual events. I want to thank the person who told me their story and allowed me to write about it with creative license. I'm glad he enjoyed it when he read it. Now comes the warning. There is no sex in this story. There wasn't a place to put it without making it gratuitous. I know this is an e...
*Author's Note: To set the stage for this story, let me begin by saying I'm a skeptic myself. I find dogmatism of any kind difficult to deal with. When I hear anyone tell me certain thing are 'settled' it rankles me because very few things are ever settled, and that is especially true in the area of science. Were that so, Einstein wouldn't have pursued rel...
"Have you heard anything Tracy?" Mrs. Jones asked her son. Who was busy playing the latest video game on the TV in the living room. "No mom," Tracy said, his controller making the staccato tap-tap-tap his mother loathed. "I've been accepted at several schools, but no scholarships." "I told you to play sports," Mrs. Jones said. "How many times did I tell yo...
You live on the walls of your heavily guarded village. Out of one side of your apartment you can see the post apocalyptic hellscape, typical of what the world has become, and out of the other you can see the small chunk of paradise you have managed to build. You are the people's leader, and you have provided a life of prosperity in a bleak world. They trust...
