4. THE LABYRINTH "So," said Greg, "how does this place work anyway?" The ghost-woman rippled. The two of them had been wandering through the bleak stone maze for what felt like hours. Greg's feet were sore. His back was sore. His arms were sore, because he was lugging that stupid obsidian sword again. Weird how something so awesome could become so tiresom...
The Game "It's just a game," I thought to myself, as I watched my wife having sex with her lover. For our 16th anniversary, Sally gave me the present I have wanted for years: she said she would "look into the possibility" of going to bed with another man, while I watched. To make a long story short, we found a great guy - witty, intelligent, good-looking a...
XLVIForeign ShoresAlex2032 "I have a daughter as well," said Lakeisha while sprawled beside Alex on the double bed that dominated the bedroom of his small apartment. "She's older than Iris, your daughter. Her name's Lisa." "Does she live at home?" Alex wondered. "You could say that," Lakeisha replied. "She lives with my mother, her grandmother, in Maseru....
The snowstorm was expected to be a doozy so I drove down to the settlement to pick up some things from the food market and get a full tank of gas. I was using the pickup and Sweetie, my Brittany Spaniel, was sitting on the seat beside me on her blanket. She was already wet with snow. My plan was to drive back to the house but already I knew I would have to p...

Chapter 02: A Fever-Dream I behaved following my correction at the Doctor's hands. Truly, I did. I no longer snuck out to the mill or the copse for my clandestine indulgences in reading and writing. After my punishment, I made every effort to content myself with sitting respectably indoors and reading by candle-light. I even domesticated my habits enough to...
This is based off a true story of a time with my boyfriend but contains some elements of fiction. * I pulled up in front of his house like usual. We had been dating for about 2 months, but seemed to click perfectly. As I walked up to the door, he pulled it open and welcomed me with a passionate kiss. Our tongues danced around each other. It felt amazing to...
Gwen and I boarded our train at the main city station. We had reserved a room in a sleeping car and were looking forward to a relaxing trip to Florida. Somehow we got lucky in that we were able to take extended vacations from our jobs at the same time. 5:59 PM. "All aboard!" The time-honored call from the conductor to alert latecomers that the train was...
I rang. When she opened the door, she looked left and right in panic, as if I were delivering a block of c4 a block away from the police precinct instead of some cupcakes. As if I weren't her neighbor. "Cupcakes?" I offered. "Um. Sure... wanna come in?" "I'd thought you'd never ask," I said with a grin that showed I was thinking about other things. Once...
