I was always different... a loner, no one seemed to pay me much attention. I just didn't fit in. I am not sure if I have lost my mind this time or if this really happened. I was out doing some shopping and drove by this antique store that I had be by a hundred times and never even noticed. But something made me stop. It looked the same as every other ant...
HUMOR/SATIRE: How a straight male ended up in Lesbian Heaven (The idea for this story came from the original ¬LESBIAN HEAVEN by Celeste999. That was a real gem of a story and I suggest that you read it first as background before reading this. Bear in mind though, that while her story was a heart-wrenching, spill-your-guts type of story, mine is all light-he...
"Frank, if you just could talk to her for a few minutes. That is all I am asking, just a few minutes. Is that really so much to ask? It's important," Jane asked. Frank glared back at her across the WNBC studios and shook his head. "Look, I know Sofia was good for our ratings last night, and I appreciate that and all, but—" "—It's more than just our ratings...
A gentle wave swept across the wet sand and another shell tumbled over Nicole's foot. She stepped on it to catch it then she picked it up and washed it in the warm water before adding it to the collection in her sunhat. It was mid-December and she and her husband had traveled to Australia's Gold Coast for their vacation. She lazily looked back up at her ho...
When Jack woke the next morning, the leylines were the farthest thing from his mind. In fact, the only thing on his mind was the debilitating pain that suffused and stiffened every muscle in his body. He was so sore he could barely move. Through force of will he clawed his way out of bed, struggled into his clothes, and prepared to start the day. 'One step...
Editor: GaleWillow * Chapter 1 Benjamin couldn't sleep. This was the third night in a row he couldn't sleep. He sat in his bedroom looking out the window staring at the moon. It was full and shone into the room lighting everything around him. Normally the heavy curtains were drawn in order to keep out the light but since he was awake he had pulled the cur...
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. I soundlessly pivoted around the tree and kicked the man in his back. He was propelled eight feet through the night air, slammed into an oak, slid to the ground and moved no more. Like vermin, they had infested the woods in the bucolic French countryside surrounding...
After a minute I said, "The ducks are still out there. You and I are still here." She looked up at me then shifted her gaze to the two ducks billing and cooing on the lake. She said, "They still love each other." I answered, "We do too." She moved closer to me, so I could put my arm around her. She almost whispered through her whimpers, "Luke, I know I'm...
Elizabeth stopped at the door to Clemmons High School. She was late, perhaps a statement of her emotional inertia, her reluctance, her bone-deep dread. The blunt doors were still painted the school colors, yellow and orange which still clashed with her yellow-blond hair. She left Keller five years ago, not all that long but still it seemed like forever. She...
He sat on the stern of the beautiful fifty five foot motor yacht in a deck chair soaking up some rays. He wore nothing but a pair of ragged cut off jeans and deck shoes. A battered camo field hat was pulled low over the brown eyes. He watched as they walked down the dock. They had caught his eye when they exited the waterside restaurant and stood looking dow...
