Copyright 2012 Nora Quick Author's Note: This is the first of 10 stories set in the future after World War III. They are very short (8-10 pages double spaced in MS Word each), non-erotic, and follow a few POVs. It deals with polytheism heavily and there is a lot of violence and fighting. I hope you enjoy these stories, they are being developed into another...
The light moved over the club methodically, swaying to the beat of the music. The dancers couldn't quite be called that, nor simple bystanders. Everyone in the room undulated more than danced, gyrating back and forth to the dark beats that filled the hollow club. A Massive Attack song was heard in the background, low, the bass more audible than the beats. Th...
There I was, sitting on a stool in the neighborhood bar crying my eyes out, figuratively at least, even if no actual tears were coming down. I knew I wasn't the first man to discover that his wife was cheating on him; I wasn't the only man whose wife was cheating on him, and I certainly wouldn't be the last man whose wife cheated on him. Knowing all of those...
I'm only nineteen. I had moved into my new place only a few months ago, right after high school graduation. I was just sitting there on the couch, home alone, flipping through a magazine, jilling myself, when I heard a knock at my door. I got up to answer. "Mindy Brighton?" A man asked. There were two men. Ken dolls. Both had big smiles. "Yes, that's me....

Norton's wife had attractive but hard features although they were of the sort many men find sexually arousing. She didn't speak at first but stared at me with a smirk that said 'I'm going to dominate you'. Well there was nothing I could do to prevent that! Stood, stained and almost naked, my wrists shackled, arms outstretched I was helpless. For a split seco...
We were sitting on the couch on a Saturday, we had finished all our shopping and were just relaxing after a rather routine day. It was probably about four in the after noon. My wife was dressed in a pair of jeans and a peasant blouse. I was wearing shorts and a tee-shirt. We were watching TV, while talking about her night out, the previous night. She had a d...
A light drizzle had begun to fall when Enoch reached home, dampening his curly hair but not his spirits. He unlocked the front door and remembered to duck, bowing his 6' 5" frame into the living room to dodge the low beams that brushed his head. "Hey Marley! How're you today?" Marley glanced at his master through slitted yellow eyes and yawned, not deigni...
Lisa Harrap didn't like going away. She missed her husband, Ron, and her three children, the youngest of whom still had no idea why mommy had to leave every so often. Lisa felt sometimes that she couldn't do much to explain it to herself, never mind a five year old. But, since she had been promoted to the position of editor at the Braddick and Braddick Publi...
