The drive up the mountain on Friday was rather uneventful. It was a nice leisurely drive on a sunshine filled afternoon. The trees were in peak change, the sky was a clear blue, and I could see for miles on every curve I rounded. About mid-afternoon, I was pulling into the lookout over "Lover's Leap". I am convinced that every major mountain range has a "Lo...
Chapter 15 – Elves. Jezebel yawned and stretched discovering Sandy was already awake. Sandy was a hellion in bed last night because they had slept apart for the first time since they got together the night before. She had of course stayed at the mansion with Daniel. Sandy was over by the desk working on something with magic. She watched for a few minutes b...
The trees were swaying in the wind and their ghostly screeches echoed through the forest. In the darkness they looked like tall thin creatures with long arms, ready to grab anything passing by underneath them. They were old trees, high. I could not see how far into the night sky they were reaching. Not a single leaf grew on them – only thin twigs and branche...
For my Darling Sir and my Wonderful Pet. This story was created based off of some strange, and rather drunk, conversations that I have had with a few of my friends that play video games with. They gave me the prompt, and my Sir and my Pet helped me add flesh to the story once I told them what I wanted to do to the story. I'm not sure if there will be anythi...
Derek couldn't stand the sight of his empty house anymore and he had only been home an hour. So he grabbed his keys and drove to the nearest bar. The place was packed but he managed to wiggle his way through the crowd and up to the bar. He looked around and thought to himself that maybe this was going to be a better night than he had originally thought. Th...
Selen noticed him as soon as he entered the bar. He looked quite different from the barflies that usually frequented the place: tall and noble with expensive-looking burgundy and gold coloured robes. He was flanked by two larger men, who had the nervous energy, darting eyes and well-developed bodies of bodyguards. She was only working here until the end of...
One can feel the energy in the air. The crowd—filled so with anticipation and excitement of what is to come. Every year they all gather; several thousand from our village and beyond. Holding coins in their hands, they await the 108th striking of the gong, the signal that the impurities of the old year have washed away and the New Year has begun. Each p...
Laura was alone in the hotel room. A warm yellow light radiated from the designer lamp in the corner, softly illuminating the carefully curated Scandinavian furniture. The noise of the city buzzed 10 floors below as bars and restaurants filled. The streets were awakening. She sat there naked on the edge of a large hotel bed, her toes nervously tapping again...
John sighed as he let his pack drop to the ground. He had been hiking all afternoon and his feet were unbelievably sore. He laid down next to his pack and looked up at the clouds. Walks like these always calmed him down. He felt an inherent calm in solitude. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He was miles from the closest town. The cool breeze licke...
I spent a tension filled week on edge. I was easily distracted from even the simplest of tasks as the memories of my adventures in the parking lot with Those People continued to haunt me. I fluctuated between arousal and disgust as visions of my performance played over in my dreams both waking and while a sleep. I had become nerve rattled, jumping at every s...
