"I'm not saying they are going to take the series, but I think they'll force a game seven," I said. Byron and I were sipping beers as we watched ESPN in closed caption on the bar television. Byron shook his head and smiled before he took a swig. "The Bulls are gonna put them away, my man. You can bank on that." Byron probably knew better than me. He was a...
The manila envelope bore no return address, just a cancellation mark from Milwaukee. Inside was only a single photograph. The focal point of the five-by-seven image was a young Asian girl - perhaps Japanese, perhaps Korean, but unquestioningly beautiful, and not just in the exotic way which appeals most endearingly to Western sentimentality. She lay on her...
All that I can tell is that you'll never believe what happened to me the other day. I have always fantasied about meeting someone by chance and have something good happen by that chance meeting. I never thought it could happen to me until it did. It was a Sunday and I went to visit some friends in a distant town when I noticed that there was a lot of traffi...
Currently we are on the road to Milwaukee.The car glides along. Kelli is driving a bit too fast, the music is a bit too loud. No one cares at this moment. We are all singing along to Zebrahead. The wind is whipping through my hair. All I can do is sing and smile. I look at the sights. We finally have arrived in Milwaukee. Kelli searches for a bit and finds...
Everything had gone wrong. The flight was delayed and as a result, I missed my next connection. Delta was very apologetic but they had no other flights leaving that evening so I was stuck in Atlanta, Georgia for the next twenty-four hours. Delta arranged for a hotel room at their expense at the airport hotel and I immediately got settled in and called my lov...
We rode the short distance to the bar and I parked the bike in front. I dismounted, walked to the door and held it open for Mom. As she walked up to me she seemed to come to a sudden decision. With a very serious look on her face she stopped directly in front of me, and looked me in the eye. "This is probably going to sound very strange to you baby." She st...
It was a bright and warm day outside. I was bored and tired of playing Call of Duty all day so I decided that I would go and rest for a while. My name is Ricky. I am 19 years old and a sophomore in college attending the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. It wasn't a huge college but I wasn't yet sure what I was going to do in life. I lived in an apartment d...
"Dammit," I growled as I checked the time on my phone. "Where are you?" I stood in the entryway of the Milwaukee museum, feeling as out of place as a dildo in Disneyland. The interior of the cavernous building looked like the starkly bleached white skeleton of the massive beast it appeared to be from the outside, all arched supports and ribs and supports....
I continued to imagine what it would be like with Tina Lee, as she left that night, remembering the feel of her lips on mine, remembering the feel of her body pressed against mine, as we curled up against each other in the intimate way that lovers would, and how the electricity shot through us as she prepared to leave, and the spark turned into flames. I l...
The day was starting out like every other day except today I had to run my brother’s store all day and night. He is off at a convention in Milwaukee until Monday. I have been running his store for two days now. Today I do not have my daughter with me. It is Saturday and we are having a Harry Potter tournament. Joe is supposed to run it. He didn’t get to go t...
