Happy New Year? Well, maybe, but if their lives so far were any indication, it was unlikely no matter how much they wanted things to change for the better. Jacob listened as the fireworks and excited yells of neighbours died down, then tried to get back to work. Why he thought a spreadsheet of building costs would be a good distraction he wasn't sure but was...
The trip back home was full of promises for the Lady Olena. What else could bring mad fun into the life of a lonely old woman living alone than a human-dog that would keep her company and yet excel in several other tasks a canine dog could not? She didn't remove the collar off Mike's neck as they departed Mary's house, she only gave him her scarf so he coul...
It is a dark chilly night, and Lily, a young, luscious, eighteen-year-old brunette, is walking on the lonesome streets in an unfamiliar neighbourhood. She has recently met a strange but handsome fellow from a college party, whose name is Jake. He had told her that there will be another fun party on Thursday night at his place, and oddly he lives in quite a s...
LXXXIIHome is Where the Heart isPhil2104 It was an image of a kind Phil had often seen before, but what was horrifying about it was the simple fact that it wasn't being broadcast as part of a news story from a distant urban slum or a foreign country. In fact, it was being transmitted from a surveillance camera just outside his own home. And this image, live...
News of trouble once again reached Aeriella at the court, the peasants were complaining that a werewolf has been terrorizing the neighbourhood. The sorceress had certain knowledge about these creatures and knew that most of them were not evil, the "terror" was most likely caused by someone who could not fully control themselves in their animalistic form. The...
They call me horrendous company. What a load of crap. It's amazing how people manage to make themselves look good and shamelessly discredit the opposition when telling their side of the story. I'm sure those xenophobic goons in 1940s Germany had a good story when they were made to pay for what they did. My name is Alex Des-Pres. A big and tall young Black ma...
It is the 21st century. America has elected its first black, actually mixed race, President. Lewis Hamilton holds the Formula One championship. There are numerous other examples of successful black and mixed race men and women. Surely Western civilisation, such as the UK where I now live and my native USA, has moved beyond their histories of racism and discr...

And yet, it had still happened... her encounter with Uelese. Jane was what could be condescendingly called a housewife. She cooked and cleaned and looked after the children wh...

I attend Carleton University, where I major in Civil Engineering. As the story starts, I'm walking out of the Police Station in downtown Ottawa where I had to clear my name due to an unfortunate...
This submission is based on actual email correspondence. Ok so I have a little story for you my sexy married lover. It was the middle of summer and you looked out the window to see a big truck pull into the house next door's driveway. As you went on cooking in the kitchen you hear the voice of the new neighbour moving his goods into his new home. Over the...
