It was the fall equinox, and the new alliance seemed to be in trouble. The army of the Deathless Emperor was pressing deep into the center of the rebel army, which seemed ready to disintegrate. Ian watched the battled from hilltop about the valley, and beckoned to his son, Ioannis, asked "Will they run?" "Father, they've retreated farther than planned, and...
"No, listen. Listen! I'm telling you, the goddamned cab driver dropped me off at the wrong place." The young woman stalked down the desolate street, shoulders hunched deep within her suit jacket. Her black high heels clicked-clacked on the broken sidewalk. Rows of old brick houses lined the street. The buildings were built in rapid development decades ago bu...
You ever do something and then later find yourself wondering just what the fuck ever possessed you to make you do something so stupid? I have and what I did has pretty much fucked up my life. It started out as a kinky way to have some sexual fun with my wife and blew up in my face big time. I'm a Site Coordinator for a large advertising agency and my job is...
This story will be told in multiple parts. It is told in the form of an autobiography from the point of view of the female in a relationship. It is written for the male. I alternately use the name RT and you as the addressed person. I originally used he and him; if I miss changing a few please forgive me. There is no overt sex in this story, just the mentio...

I came to the startling reality, that I had never been a real part of any of it. It would seem that my parents' lover had raised me; I had never gotten to know my mother and my father as still a mystery to...
On Thursday, I returned to the courthouse for my first day as a file clerk in juvenile court. I wore my favorite low rise jean mini-skirt with lacy black tank top. As I approached the building I noticed an elderly man struggling to open the door, so I ran to hold it open. “Thank you, young lady.” My mouth fell open as I realized this smiling man was the me...
The windows were rolled down as my car strolled quietly down Flounder Street. I always thought it was funny as a little kid, living on Flounder Street. I guess a little kid who will laugh at "wiener" will also laugh at "flounder." The 93 degree heat was beating down on me through the windshield. It was times like these that I wish I was actually financially...

I hope you like this, and do not find it a bit 'twee'. Do you think that the holiday season has been getting to me? *************************** "Pete. It's too much." "I can affo...
"Mum showed us yer war medals an' the Military Medal for 'gallantry', las' week, Dad," 11-year-old Art says as the pair walk to the next job, "next munf it'll be twenty years since The Great War started in 1914."
