“I’m okay. C’mon Jan, it was your standard California earthquake. Well of course it’s all over the news, it’s an official natural disaster. There is no need for you to drop everything and fly home. Just imagine that conversation with your agent, your editor, and the publisher - exactly. Look, I’m fine, the house is fine, and the rest of the houses in the nei...
Katina was sitting in the back of the classroom playing solitaire on her laptop computer as her professor lectured on. She hated this class, but her past roommate Melissa has told her it was easy. Well at least the professor was not totally ugly like most of them. "Ok, class here is your Mid-Term back. Almost all of you did really well. If your exam is not...
The Cucumber (Author's note: This was part of a challenge I gave to some readers to give me three words or phrases that I would work into a short piece. The person who this was written for sent me the phrases 1)Bus going to work 2)cucumber 3)embarrassed, used, slutty. It was obvious what story he was looking for. I think I gave him some food for thought) S...
Sitting at the smooth gray stone conference room table, Monica had begun to wonder if she had attention deficit disorder. "No", she thought to herself; "my idiot team leader is just the dullest person on the face of the earth!" In her third meeting of the day, Monica found another ounce of her attention span draining with each passing tick of the ceiling fan...
Selina added her bra to the pile of clothes she had stripped off after escaping into her small apartment. The black skirt and white blouse – required dressings for the bar she worked tables at – had been unceremoniously discarded, and now the exhausted brunette was clacking across the hardwood floor in nothing more than her pink frilly panties, knee-high nyl...
The two men slept badly, dreaming of screams and groans. Drake twitched on the sandy ground, imagining the scaled whip snapping and tearing through his skin once again. He woke up with a start, panicking and hyperventilating. He laid on the ground, trying to calm his breathing down. He looked over at Riley, who was twitching in the throes of his own nightmar...
Susan was stressed, tired, and at yet another convention for work. As she sat in another workshop pretending to listen to the same old techniques with yet another new name, her eyes drifted around the room. She was a people watcher. She wondered if everyone else was as bored as she...as lonely and unsatisfied with life as she. The presenter droned on as Susa...
The small non-descript boat skimmed across the water, turning east out of the broad strait toward the docks. Although the sky was clear and blue out ahead, the squall line sitting behind it was dark and opaque, indicating the strength of the downpour that came with it. And although the shoreline was only a mile away, it was clear that the boat was going to l...
Two days since my last orgasm. I'm traveling in the Pacific Northwest, sitting on a ferry enjoying an hour and a half ride between islands near the USA/Canadian border. The booth I have to myself is similar to those you find in restaurants - a table between two six-foot benches with heavy padding covered by imitation leather. As I enjoy the beautiful scenery...
I was silently fuming as Marina worked the kinks from my lower back. Her oil slick palms and roughly digging fingertips worked the tension out slowly. The room was scented a deeply, rich with lavender and dragons breath from the incense burner cradled on a low bench in front of the massage table. I expelled a short “ugh” as Marina continued deeply stroking m...
