*** Author's Preface *** This is a preface by the author. It's masturbatory, but perhaps not in the way you were hoping. Please move down to Part One if you're just interested in the fiction. If you're a struggling writer like me maybe what follows will strike a chord, or at least be of minor interest. I promise it's short. *** I started this work with t...
"Look at him, silly old goat. Ogling those girls like he's eighteen." Sun-browned fingers scrabbled for glasses and eyes scanned the far side of the square. A half-smoked Karelia dropped onto the checkers board. They squinted against the weak winter sunlight that warmed their old bones and beheld the embarrassment. "I mean, those jeans for a start," Geor...
Several years ago, my wife and I vacationed in Europe for two weeks. I knew that Europeans tend to be more casual about nudity and sex than Americans are, but I was still unprepared (as was my wife) when we decided to visit a spa (called "bad") in Germany. We took a tram up the side of a steep hill to the top and looked down over a beautiful view and a large...
After careful thought and considerable research, I've discovered the secret to having a happy summer vacation. It wasn't easy for me to come up with this, but I did it for you. Only, this How To story is not for everyone. This How To story may not be for you who is reading this story, but it could be for the guy or gal standing over your shoulder reading thi...
I met a man from Australia I rambled to my best friend Briana over drinks at our favorite bar, Houlihans a day after I got back. I met him while on my tour of the Netherlands, but I slept with him prior to the tour even starting. My tour was to start Saturday night with a dinner for the whole tour group, but my flight from Chicago to Lisbon, Portugal was de...
Our vacation secret: We were so excited, alone for 3 days in Cabo! Before we were able to check in we left our bags at the desk and explored the resort. It sat on a gorgeous beach, with clear blue water, and soft white sand, lined with palm trees, lounge chairs, and private cabanas. Just above the beach was a beautiful blue tiled infinity pool, with a swim...
I can't say I was driven to be a teacher. It's something that I kind of fell into. I was really interested in World History during school and that's what I majored in college. However, there's not a big call for professional historians so I chose the academic route. I knew I didn't want to teach grade school or high school so it was on to my Master's and t...
The house next-door had finally been sold. Lonnie had seen the moving van pulling into the driveway as she left for work that morning. "It's about time," she thought to herself, "Maybe they will fix the eyesore up." The house wasn't really run-down that badly; however, since her husband had ran-off with the slut that used to live there, Lonnie harbored hard...
After our trial, and the girls-only celebration that lasted through the night, Wendy and I were given 3 days of rest and recovery restricted to the Rogonfeldt grounds. I did some writing. She and I were able to go on long walks. The other girls left us to rest up; the masters ignored us. They were busy with the other girls and, especially, with integrating R...
My wife and I peered through the Paris store window at a jacket that was of interest to me. "Go ahead and try it on. I think it would be great." She said urging me forward. We went in the store where there were two clerks - one younger man and the older middle-aged handsome one who served me. "Could I try that on s'il vous plait?" I said looking at and in...
