It was a rare occasion to see Jonathan without his camera. He had gotten his first Polaroid camera at the age of five within the first half hour he had cleared through the two packs of instant film his parents had brought him. It had been an agonising wait until 27th December when his father was finally able to take him out to the shops and load up on some m...
Friday nights are my time to go dancing, this Friday wasn't any different, but my hub got called away last minute on a business trip. Not wanting me to stay home just because of him, he called a friend of his, Andrew and his wife and talked them into taking me out. Great, I thought, a third wheel, just what I wanted to be. I don't even know them really....
A few years ago I had just been dumped by my girlfriend and to get my mind off of my current situation, I decided to go camping. I usually went with friends but this time I really needed some solitude. Some space to really think things through so I got ready and Friday afternoon I took off work early and set off for the north. I went to my usual stomping gr...
Paul Cutter mostly hated his job. He worked as a gym teacher and coach for St. Thomas College - an small private college outside Chicago filled with the children of the elite. Spoiled brats, he grumbled to himself as he laid cone after cone along the painted lines on the shiny floor. He somewhat enjoyed training the track and swim teams for the school; th...
Michael pulled up in front of the three-story Victorian home. Turning off the engine of his rented Mustang convertible, he opened the door and stepped out. As he closed the door, he looked across the broad, brick-laid street and saw neat, well-maintained homes lining the expanse of road. The mountains peeked over the tops of the house roofs; the misty caps b...
This was my graduation present from Bennett. He was the loud one, the guy with a story (and, for some of us, a bawdy song) for every occasion, and always larger than life. The last time I saw him, at my graduation, it seemed impossible that I might be an eyebrow taller than him – but his personality was still twenty feet tall. His cottage was the family part...
I want to thank MrWhiteTiger for his marvelous edits.M, thank you so much for 'liking' this. I don't know how I could continue to post without your help, friendship and everything else. For those interested, I've never tried absinthe, nor actually seen the ritual, but I've read a lot up on it. I may be wrong about the aphrodisiac properties, but come now,...
I knew Wendy from High school. She had just started as a freshman the year I got my diploma & headed out of the little podunk town in search of my fortune. I had been away from my home for about two years, & I'd come back to town to visit my mom and help with some home improvement projects she had going. I spent a week building a greenhouse and redoing th...
Esme felt sick to her stomach. Some would have called it just desserts, being caught in the act by her ex and Barry's best friend, with Barry's sister and fiance to said ex/best friend on her way to join the party. It was a nightmare she just wanted to end, but it was too late at night for anyone to head back to the city. To top it off the snow had started u...
Chapter 1 A couple of years ago Jessica and I were ready to move out of home. We were engaged to be married early the next year, and while I'm sure Jessica had different reasons, a large part of the motivation for me was to have somewhere we could fuck without feeling like we were doing something illegal at our parent's houses. Jessica was fit, toned and a...
