NOTE: Thank you to all who enjoy this series! I enjoy your comments, both positive and more critical. I would mention that this is a true story, with names changed. *** It had been two weeks since Tanya and I had a serious discussion about Austin, and how she had also hooked up with his friend James. I had essentially given in to the fact that our relation...
The heavy gray clouds captured the light, and made it look like the world would suffocate. The heat backed that up, taking away every piece of cool earth and replacing it with ground that seared and tore at anything touching it. Only the water held reprieve. Children were splashing and yelling exuberantly, as the skies bore down on the lake. Parents watchin...
Everything in the Zombie apocalypse slows down to a crawl. It's been three days now, since I started out, leaving the villas I had stayed in. Three days since I've headed towards that faint flicker of light I saw in another house. Three days since I've found Bekah. And in three days I've travelled down just two streets, about 500 meters, having come two tim...
Catelyn leaned back in her chair, smiling across the table at her boyfriend, Gabe. "That was so delicious," she said. "You are such a good cook." Gabe smiled back at her, setting down his fork and taking her hand in his. Gabe's roommates had gone to a house party, and Gabe had invited Catelyn over for a surprise dinner. Gabe's parents were from Italy, and...
Hello Journal! I believe that sometimes we do not open ourselves up to opportunities and this can rob us of some of the best experiences. We develop a tunnel vision focusing on one or two things and miss all these things on the sides. Lucky for me I have usually been good at keeping my eyes open. There is a man in one of my classes that is nothing special w...
I was teaching watercolor at the local craft store. Most of my students were ladies between forty and eighty. I was twenty-six, tall and thin, and a walking erection. Not an obnoxious erection, but a conservative one, I hadn't been with anyone in over a year. And every patch of lady flesh was like soft butter smeared across hot bread. I hated my job, the art...
She first came to me at the darkest point of the night, when the twilight had finally left and the deep black of the sky outside, tainted with only a brush of blue, was all I could see out of my window. The night had been warm, too warm in fact, the windows left open as my curtains moved back and forth in what paltry breeze there was. I tried to sleep, cover...
Kaleb started to explain something to me. "I told you about the brazen vampiric rules!" he started seriously. "Yes!" I replied tense and nervous at the same time as he stroked my breastbone. "You won't get blood until you are initiated by the three elders!" "And what does that mean?" I asked timorous because it reminded me of college rituals. "They will...
Lisa pulled up to the curb at the airport and popped the trunk for Darin to grab his luggage "Thanks Babe, love ya, see you Friday" He leaned over and grabbed the back of her head pulling her in close for a long hot, wet kiss. Before he opened the door he took an envelope out of his pocket and placed it on the console "Don't open this till bedtime" he sa...
"You know the Sanders' have a lovely son about your age." Therese said. Tiffany glanced up from her laptop at her mother, a knot of dread forming in her gut. "What?" Here we go again. "You know, Julian. Julian Sanders? You could bring him to Samantha's wedding." "No, I don't think so." Flashes of that one college party they'd both gone to went through Tif...
