Hello readers! Welcome to the first chapter of Darkness Rising, a brand new series that follows Neris, a succubus who travels through time creating an army to conquer the world one place at a time. What you'll find in this story, unlike with my past work, is a story that not only follows the 'victims', but also the seductress herself. In this thrilling world...
1 -- Summer job Pastor Young posted summer jobs in the gathering place hallway, like he did every year the last week of classes. One of the quickest to go was to babysit the Pastor's own son, Robbie, an adult man that, though in his early 30s, is mentally retarded and acts like an adolescent, and thus requires constant supervision. Jessica heard the other...
Note: This is something really different for me, inspired by a song that really touched my heart (if you've heard it, you'll probably know what it is). ----- The weak sun filtered through the bare trees as Jonah walked across the Millers' fields to get to Bethany's house. He listened to his feet crunching over the light snow, and wondered what Bethany's ne...
Author's note: This is, in all its seven parts and their many chapters, one very, very long story. If long stories bother you, I suggest you read something else. No part of this story is written so as to stand on its own. I strongly suggest that you start with the beginning of Part 1 and read sequentially—giving up at any point you choose, of course....
We met in church at a ceremony pledging abstinence from sex until marriage. By chance, she and I walked down the aisle together to make our pledge and to receive our purity rings. She smiled at me and I felt my heart flutter as my face turned red. It was later that I found her name was Eleanor and she had just moved to our town. Our first date was at the mal...
Pamela shook her short bob as she walked arm-in-arm with her husband, John, into the church reception building. She thought she looked a lot like the Playboy model, Hailee Rain, now. She didn't wear revealing clothes or much make up, because she didn't want to attract attention, but there was only so much she could do about her natural beauty. The reception...
All of the characters in this work of fiction are over the age of 21. This series can be read on its own. However, Frank Melar from The Happiest Day of Her Life appears in this chapter. This chapter contains depictions of heterosexual sex. In the previous chapter, Dani Van Cleef, a newly ordained Presbyterian pastor, agreed to fly out to the home of Frank...
The sparsely attended college mixer had an underlying formality to it although Pastor Gabe did his best to get the boys and girls to talk to one another. That would be men and women since they were in college. "Sunny", Pastor Gabe pitched his voice to his daughter who was standing around trying to look engaged at the snack and drink table. Obediently, Sunny...
Being a pastor has always had its own unique occupational hazards. Job security is virtually non-existent because a pastoral appointment can be terminated at the whim of the church board. And even though most contracts require a 30-day advance notice of termination, I've known men who were told on a Sunday that their services would no longer be needed, and t...
No matter how many times he had seen it, Pastor Andy Craft was never really prepared for death. As he stood next to Jim Andrew's hospital bed and held his hand, he knew the end was near. Jim's wife, Kelly, was stroking her husband's forehead. His breath was more and more shallow and infrequent. Finally, there was a noise from his throat and then nothing. "He...
