LIX Sinners, Poor and Wretched Iris 2056 Although there was a sense that Iris had been lucky, it had to happen of course. For more than four years she'd managed to keep the same job at Omiota Biotech, but all it took was a business reorganisation by the company's new owners in Phnom Penh for her job to be made redundant. However much the rich Cambodian sh...
The first time I laid eyes on Rama Abdel-Masih, I was mesmerized. I mean, I was walking through the Rideau Shopping Center with my boys, Timothy and Dalton, one Saturday night, and when I saw her I just froze, man. I see pretty girls all the time, don't get me wrong. I simply wasn't used to seeing tall, majestic ladies in hijabs and regal long robes. With he...
The name is Summer Adewale, and I'm a young black woman of Nigerian descent living in the City of Toronto, Ontario. Life hasn't been a bed of roses lately, and I'm not just talking about political upheavals, Covid, or the madness we've all been enduring in our daily lives. Nope, I am referring to the fact that the world is close to ending, and I've been tapp...
He'd had several appointments and meetings during the day, but she was supposed to have showered and met him in time to make a dinner reservation. She wasn't in the lobby when he'd arrived, so after several minutes he decided that he ought to find out what was keeping her. As he walked across the lobby, he heard his name called out in a sharp voice and insti...
It's my body and I can do whatever I want with it, isn't that one of the most sacred mantras of the feminist movement? As a Muslim woman from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the heartland of Islam, and a fledgling feminist, I have often butted heads with my well-meaning but ill-informed and at times, culturally clueless western friends. To me, there is more t...
Here it is, once again, the weekend and Robert has called me every night since our last night together. I have been fairly busy at work the past couple of days because of a television special they are doing. Our restaurant is being listed as one of the top ten places to eat in Florida. We are actually number two on the list. I have talked to Kim a couple o...
While Kira, Dee and Leila were shared by Kyrhan, Dan and Dhanraj, Jacki had travelled to Morocco. Her drum was redirected to Gatwick, in the south of England. Now she was accustomed to such travels, she hadn't been drugged. She was quite aware of what was done to the container in which she was hidden. It was transported by a lorry to somewhere in the country...
No graphic sex. This short story is based on a conversation with the son of a woman who had been a client before I retired as a barrister. As usual I must stipulate that these characters are works of fiction and have no resemblance to persons living or dead. ***** Lynn would take her M.B.A. degree in three weeks. As most working people know, you don't ju...
A kiss from Mike woke Jenna up, and she heard him whisper “I love you” as he left, she only really saw his back as she woke and Mike was dressed professionally and sharp as usual. For Jenna though, Mike’s departure meant that she had to get up as well. Today was the day Jenna loved as she got to work from home on Friday’s. Though their home wasn’t huge, bein...
The following story involves you. You are behind the scenes of a porn set and the director talks to you and direct her cast and crew. You watch as they make this porn film. The entire story and the characters are fictional. If you wish to comment, then please do, but be kind as I'm new at this and I am still learning how to write these kinds of stories. Enjo...
