"So Sarah tells me you were at Trinity College?" I said. "English Literature," Malcolm confirmed, taking a sip of the Gigondas. He had good taste in wine. It went beautifully with the peppered steak fillets we were eating "After that I got a job with Lewis Perkins," he continued. "That's where we met." He meant where he had met Sarah. I had just about kep...
The mist hung low over the ground as the little group moved slowly towards the old church. "Are you sure you are ready for this?" the leader asked getting an affirmative nod from all present "It's not like we haven't done this ritual before Peter calm down." Olivia said. "Ok here goes then." Peter slowly opened the old wooden door, creaking loudly on its ru...
"What is that guy wearing?" Ava asks, looking at a man walking up Royal Brougham Way, on his way to the Alaskan-Way Viaduct. "Were those jeans at one point?" "Maybe it's a new fashion trend. Jeans meets skirt meets redneck shorts," I reply. Ava and I have two passions in this life. Baseball and people watching. Luckily, we live in Seattle, where we have al...

This is the big pitch. This is the one that's going to elevate us up into the advertising stratosphere, and that's why I'm the only one who's going to make it. That's the way it's always been with Howie and me. He's the creative force, the one who comes up with the ideas the clients want, and I'm the one who sells it to them, makes them wet themselves and sc...
Jen was walking funny as she lugged her bag toward the dorm's back door. As it closed behind her, I wondered if I'd ever know if she landed Jake, or just nailed him. That's what Facebook is for, idiot. But now it was back to the grindstone. I barely made it to the psych lab by 8:45 and found Anna, my grad student boss, already there. "We should go over the...
We have just come in from a morning of working in your garden. The one you made outside the cottage at the beach. We both showered and had a little lunch. As lunch settled in, we felt the combined effect of the hot summer afternoon, our morning labors and satisfied appetites lulling us into a nice relaxing nap. We both fell asleep almost immediately. When...
Why not give the gift of music this holiday season? Here is a list for you to review and perhaps find something that will suit someone on your list.

Your name is Brian, and as you woke up at the beginning of the day you were completetly normal. Your twin sister would argue there's nothing normal about you but what would she know? You lived with your mom and dad in a nice house in a nice town and went to a nice school, it didn't even really have a bullying problem beyond teens joshing each other. No one w...

We had exhausted our drinks, feeling a little buzzed, when she suddenly reached under her skirt, removed her panties and tossed them to me. The invitation was clear. I moved in front of her Adirondack chair and gently sli...
