We are nearing the conclusion of the story of Alexander and Kate. Thanks for reading it still. I really like seeing the votes and reading the comments that you all post -- makes me wish I had more free time for writing! This chapter went through a few revisions, as nothing felt quite right for the two. I'm pleased to bring you the seventh chapter in their st...
The 4-hour drive to Galena, Illinois was both relaxing and exciting for Fabiola. It had been a while since Jonathan and Fabiola had taken a break from their busy lives. Fabiola, on the spur of the moment suggested they take a 3-day holiday and find a nice secluded cabin for the weekend. As Jonathan made the reservations, Fabiola packed a few groceries into a...
Joe and Karen had been talking on the internet now for weeks when Joe surprised Karen by arranging a trip up to meet her. They had arranged to meet at the local mall at 6 pm where If things went well, some dinner and if really well, a movie. Karen was a bit nervous but she got dressed putting on a dress and some nice heels. Karen looked into the mirror and s...
"Life sounds like a boring science fiction movie, we're going to see A United Kingdom instead," Afsane Yanehsari said haughtily, and she looked triumphantly into her boyfriend Rover Jefferson's soulful brown eyes, knowing that he was going to cave in to her demands. Just like he always did. Rover hesitated and licked his lips, a thoughtful look on his face....
Top of the morning to you, my devoted, at times surly and always fun readership. The name is Natalie Xiaowei, and I'm something akin to a unicorn. An Asian female living in Canada who doesn't worship White guys or prop up White Supremacy, quite unlike the majority of my people. Why am I so different from the others? I love chocolate and I cannot lie. Anyhow,...
Andy wondered how she'd let Michelle talk her into this. Was she really going to sit in this dark movie theater, waiting for whatever Michelle had planned? How had she been convinced? Maybe, she considered, she should leave and forget the whole thing. Andy thought back to the conversation between her and Michelle the night before. They were on the couch wa...
My wife and I were traveling up in Central Pennsylvania having visited friends that re-located from our home area years ago. We were staying in a local hotel as these friends had grandchildren staying with them so room at their place was scarce. We knew the town well as our kids had both graduated from one of the two colleges there. It was a college town now...

She had probably even been the one who started the naughtiness. What possessed her to suggest she was a sexual creature, she wondered. But then she couldn't believe she had let h...
Janine decided that it wasn't worth getting pissed off over. She had been waiting for half an hour on her date to arrive, and there was still no sign of him. Standing in the lobby of the movie theater, she checked her watch again. Ten more minutes and the movie they were supposed to see was going to start. Where the fuck was Alan? They had not been getting...
All over town for the last week or so, people had suddenly started to act strangely, as if they were seeing and hearing things that no one else around them could detect. Some began muttering in strange unknown languages and others just went barking insane mad. Mass dementia, some at BMA were calling it. There had been a peak of this outbreak last weekend, b...
