A couple of weeks later Jackie walked out of the school gate with her arm around Gwen's shoulders; they were laughing, heads together, as school friends do. They stood around in a group, heads together, moving their weight from foot to foot, swinging their school bags idly as girls tend to when they are together and not in a rush to part company. Gwen was th...
I fucked up this time. I mean royally fucked up. Fucked up so bad that my life changed forever, all because I didn't close the garage door. One stupid door and my world will never be the same again. **** My wife, Mandy, and I married almost six years ago. We met senior year of high school. Both of us on the nerdy side, we met at a math team meet. We went t...
"You made what?" I gasped into the hands-free phone in my car. I was driving myself to work the following morning feeling like I had been run over by a bulldozer. My body ached, my head throbbed and my vulva was raw from the onslaught it had received barely eight hours before. Plus of course my previously mild morning sickness had chosen that day to become...
The following story is the original conclusion to The Story of a Button. At this point, I have yet to read any alternative conclusions to TSOAB due to an unexpected and unscheduled trip to the operating theatre. Painful and expensive and that was merely the bill. The epilogue has been "softened" upon the advice of beta readers and upon reflection that Rita i...
We were buried under the flannel sheets and the down comforter, our naked bodies touching as much as we could manage, so when she asked the question, the stark reality of it pulled me out of the moment briefly. "If I got pregnant, what would you do?" she suddenly asked. I pulled away from her a little so I could look into her eyes. Her big brown eyes turned...
We left off with Chrissy and I sitting on the porch swing. "Why do you dislike me so much? I've tried and tried to get you to notice me but you're always walking away. You seem to like the kids and I know they care for you but what about me? You avoid me as if I have the plague. I thought we hit it off pretty good, especially at the zoo, and then you seemed...
It was Don Taylor's last day before he began his family leave, and it couldn't end soon enough. It seemed that every time he turned around, his boss and good friend Jason Blackwell was giving him, 'Just one more thing.' He had the program installed into his office computer and the computer at home to allow him access to his work files should he need them, an...
"Doctor?" Clara said by rote. "Why are we at 13 Paternoster Row in 1893?" The Doctor looked up from a read-out on the TARDIS's console that did not do much more, in point of fact, but play Flappy Bird. "Now, that's hardly fair. When we weren't here ten minutes ago, you didn't ask why we weren't at 13 Paternoster Row in 1893." "It's just that we seem to c...
Prologue The loving over, she sat up and began to put her shirt back on. He pulled her back. "Don't do that," he said. "I like looking at you." She lay against him, her head on his chest. "You know, you're the only guy who's ever seen me naked," she said. "What about Jason?" "He and I haven't made love. He's too scared. He's a virgin." For a moment, he...
I was on my way to the gym to meet up with my exercise buddy when I first met Vera. Usually I park in front of my friend's house and we walk the mile to the gym together. Parking there is deliberate, because the mile walk to the gym and back gives us a little warm up and a cool down period. This time though, my buddy had some stuff to take care of and he was...
