The single speck of light that shines through the surface from the outworld to yours, attracting you like a baby to its mother's breast. You know you shouldn't approach, you've been warned since childhood of the dangers of entering the warmer waters that lead to the outworld. Tales of evil creatures lurking above the surface abound, of the affect of the warm...
The next morning, Josh woke up on the beach. Alex was still there, sleeping, a few feet away from him. Normally affectionate (maybe rather more affection than a cousin ought to be), last night she had kept her distance. Her bikini-top and pirate-jewels sat in a small pile on the sand next to her, and she seemed to be resting peacefully. So, Josh decided to t...
It was Don Taylor's last day before he began his family leave, and it couldn't end soon enough. It seemed that every time he turned around, his boss and good friend Jason Blackwell was giving him, 'Just one more thing.' He had the program installed into his office computer and the computer at home to allow him access to his work files should he need them, an...
Tienna arrived home to her lonely bare apartment; she had arrived to work late after her little accident the other night, apologising profusely to her boss as she rushed around for the rest of the working day. Her mind dizzy with an array of scheduled meetings and errands. But as she sat there in the apartment alone, her mind began to wonder, slipping back i...
After what seemed like a couple of minutes, Alex came back into the room holding a glass of water in his hand. He sat the glass down on the nightstand by the bed to her left, before doing something that surprises her and unties her wrists. She slowly sits up and rubs her wrists as he reaches over to pick up the glass. She eyes it suspiciously when he offers...
Don Taylor's vacation was not starting the way he had hoped. His divorce had finalized just weeks before he was to fly off with his wife on what was supposed to be a second honeymoon to save their marriage. Since the trip was already paid for and non-refundable, and he already had the vacation time approved, he thought this would be a good time to reassess h...
Another couple of days passed. Thomas spent them alone, and he discovered to his dismay that in addition to being horny—more and more frustratingly blue-balled with each passing day, in fact—he was also terribly lonely. He missed having Clio around. He tried to rationalize it away, to tell himself that what he missed was human contact in general. But there w...
The boat floated, becalmed and stinking, under a blank hot sky. Ned stood on its aft deck somewhere between the old world and the new, staring into the seam of ocean and air. Most of his crew was dead. Some had run mad before dying, driven by despair and thirst, by the heat and the total lack of wind. One man had thrown himself into the depths screaming that...

While the village of Shadehedge struggles to get into farming for the upcoming season, the villagers have been depending on him to fish. For whatever reason, Vivian has left him alone for much of the fishing season. The second-to-last fisherman's body was found a...
This is a continuation of a story I read some years ago. It was one of the first erotic stories I ever encountered, and probably the one story to inspire me to write my own. I wish I could tell you what it was called or even give credit to the original author, but I can't do either of those things as that knowledge escapes me (I don't recall a title or autho...
