An Essay - and no explicit sex in this short piece! * I am currently a tad addicted to Literotica - and no, it's not for the porn - explicit hardcore sex depictions - per se. It's for the emotional angst feelings generated in me in just one subsection of genre at Literotica. The broader genre is "loving wives" - the much narrower subset is the cheating wi...
Not every second-hand bookshop has its 'gods and goddesses' section located in a dungeon with live, 24/7, Sub-Dom/S&M entertainment. And, not every second-hand bookshop requires you to strip to your underwear to enter one of its sections through a concealed door disguised as a bookshelf. Factotum Rarities & Antiquities intrigued me from the moment I first...
We've been down this road before and before the end we'll be down this road again. I've told you how best to survive zombies, werewolves, vampires, kaiju and robots. For a lot of these things I cannot emphasis the basics heavily enough. Which is why even if it sounds a bit like a broken record or a nineteen eighties rapper, take your pick, I have to remind y...
There are many statements made, particularly in the current political climate, that are often accepted as true. One of the most oft repeated is that"we [as a country] don't make things anymore." Another is that we have lost all our manufacturing jobs to outsourcing. As to the first claim that "we don't make anything anymore" that is, to put it politely, a l...
Dedicated to and Inspired by Marigold The Beginning Anne had contacted me about taking care of my home in the Marylebone neighborhood of London. I'd posted the opening on Craigslist and was promptly swamped with email resumes and text messages. Anne stood out from the crowd when she took the time to find my address and have a courier drop off an envelope f...
There are special places in Moscow, and in Kiev -- where it is almost always too too cold outside -- vast huge places with ceilings more than thirty metres high. Foam rubber pits, sprung floors, large weave nylon mesh and competition trampolines, balance beams, roman rings... These places I'm talking about no one from the public or even from the normal State...
It was fifteen years ago, when people still believed demons and other mythical beast to be unfounded legends, fruit of wild imaginations and great ignorance of humans during the ancient times... ...but facts proved that it wasn't so. The ancients weren't the ignorant ones, no, they were wise, wise enough to seal the threat before it could overwhelm them. Wis...
This page serves as a central root from which many one-shots, short stories, and adventures can branch from. The root itself is just to define a starting point, setting details, and main purpose for each tale tied to it. Effectively, this serves as a base-level introduction to the world- the stories themselves do not necessarily need to be read in order, or...
Being a being of unlimited power was so.. so boring. Thanks to the rules of the universe, there was unfortunately not much you do to keep yourself entertained. You had a fun time watching being's but they only could keep your attention for a short time. You would something times make a small little alternate universe but that could only be done for a limited...
The ancient Olympian gods have been reincarnated in the modern age as semi-mortal beings with human lifespans, but powers comparable to what they once held.

For example, Zeus and Hera now have become the own...
