Elliot slowly read the letters and numbers off the bottom of the bottle cap, carefully entering them into the computer. Once he had them all entered, he click his mouse, but up popped a warning window. "Damn, these codes are so hard to read." He looked closer at the cap and one by one checked his entry against what was on the computer screen. "Y instead of V...
I deliberately went in a completely different direction here, just to try some things. This has no connection to any other stories, and I probably should have held it to Christmas, but, what the hell, I could get run over by a bus or eaten by zombie armadillos before then. I typically don't write graphic sex into most of my story lines, but that is not true...
That night, Sunday, Vickie looked at the pile of clothes that Pam had given her but she was in no mood to sample them. She was pacing her living room liked a caged animal.

"Vito, did you see my newspaper?" "Newspaper? Yeah, I used it for the cat box." "Cat box? That was today's newspaper. I didn't read it, yet." "You don't need no stinkin' newspaper, Joey. Listen, c'mon look over my shoulder at my computer screen." "Don't need no newspaper? How am I supposed to enlighten myself and keep up with current events as they becom...
There were times in my life when I thought I was asexual. Sex was never that important to me: my studies and then my career came first. I knew I was never going to be a devoted wife and mother. I never had time for boys, for men. Being a virgin in my late twenties never really bothered me as much as it bothered others. I hated those conversations with friend...
It was an early Fall weekend, damp and chilly. Low clouds were covering Manhattan, obscuring some of the taller buildings. I was in my 16th floor apartment after a Sunday morning workout, scanning the headlines over a cup of coffee, when a piercing scream came through the walls. My apartment is an end unit, so I figured it had to be coming from either dire...
Michelle pulled up to a local strip mall after her meeting. She wanted another ice coffee to feed her addiction, and walked into the Starbucks as she noticed a group of young men walking into a marijuana dispensary a few stores away. After getting a new iced coffee, she walked out, right in front of a convenience store, and she saw them again. A group of fi...
