From habit we awoke at the first light of the morning and to the unfamiliar rumble of thunder. The cool air pressing through the partially open window of the camper carried the fresh hint of the coming rain. This summer of 2002 had been hot and dry for weeks, which has underscored the reason so many forest and range fires were proving difficult to contain. T...
I work from home, I really don't want to say what it is that I do, I mean, after all, it pays well and I don't want to jeopardize a good deal, right? I'm single, divorced about twelve years ago, I'm fifty-two, in pretty decent shape for a guy who sits at a desk all day. Not particularly dating these days, either, don't especially like the bar scene and the...
"Well! You two look good enough to eat!" Monica gasped as we let her in the front door. "Where's Arnold and Jim? You haven't let those two loose together have you? What's going on, my darlings?" Although surprised, she seemed anxious to get inside and appeared to be slightly out of breath. Monica had been carrying an armful of groceries so we quickly helped...
The wedding was over and Liz was officially Elizabeth Valentine, having taken the last name of her husband, Samuel Valentine. Liz sat down to eat at the reception with Sam and watched as everyone celebrated.

Until my Granddad passed away last year I had been going to see him quite regularly since he moved into a retirement village a few years ago.

It isn't a cheap place t...

My favourite time of year is summer. There is something about the colours, scents and sounds of summer that had always made me smile and this summer had been no exception. The heat had been intense and a flirtation I had been pursuing was becoming even more so. I had met Jimmy online in a chat room and we had just clicked immediately. The same kind of outloo...
I stand shyly on the doorstep for a few moments. I can hear very loud psychedelic music from inside. Knocking lightly on the door produces no discernable result. I knock again, more loudly. Finally my frustration grows until I pound thunderously. After a minute, the door finally opens. Jimi Hendricks music blasts forth. A guy I don't know gestures for me to...
I had to pick up my car from the local mechanic. My day at work had been long and tedious; the fact that I was wearing my lingerie, garters, and thigh high stockings under my clothes only added to my discomfort. Riding to the mechanic with my coworker, I shifted in my seat, feeling the tug and pull of my underwear. Biting my lip, I recalled how my Master ha...
