Chapter Five--Food Court & More Shopping We got out of the store without further incident. "I'm famished," Rachel announced. "Are you?" I should have been. I hadn't had that much breakfast because I was so keyed up. But I hadn't thought about food at all, and I didn't feel particularly hungry. My mind was, obviously, elsewhere. Walking along I felt very co...
That Wednesday, Heather was finishing her shift at the club; putting up the leftover drinks and food and cashing out her receipts. "Hey," a familiar voice called to her, instantly sending tingles through her body. "Hey," she replied as nonchalantly as she could, and continued with closing down her cart. Henry walked over to the cart, looking extremely...
I want something. But I don't know what. Do men ever have this problem? Probably not. Ice cream? Pizza? Cookies and milk? Certainly nothing "healthy" for a midnight snack. Of course even though I just spent $150 on groceries, there is nothing in the house to eat. DAMMIT. I'll never get to sleep if I don't find something to rid myself of this craving....
I asked a girl out last night. What I really said was "would you care to go for a walk when you're through here?" She was counting down the till in the little pizza place I'd found in my hungry loneliness... We had talked a bit while I ate, & she was oh so polite, smiling coyly sometimes as she walked by.

I pushed Melissa's door open and froze in shock at what I saw. We'd been burgled. The fuckers had ransacked the place - furniture was overturned, clothes were thrown everywhere, one of the curtains lay in a crumpled heap on the floor. I saw Melissa's arm hanging out of her bed and I rushed into her room to see if she was hurt. I pulled Melissa's covers bac...
"Is that an eyeball?" Voodoo asked, though her senses were confirming to her that yes, it was absolutely an eyeball. It even had that new eyeball smell. "Yeah!" Bryan said, as enthusiastic about disembodied body parts as he was about just about everything. "An eagle actually plucked it out of this guy's head, he had to get an eyepatch, Hank said it reminde...
I get my haircut about every five weeks and I've been going to my local barber, Joe, for about six years. It's a one-man shop in our local shopping center and I can drop in late in the day and Joe always looks after me well. This day I called in right on closing time, as usual, and found to my amazement that Joe was not there, behind the counter stood a lov...

Chapter Three Had three words ever sounded so sweet? Daren stared into her eyes for a moment, framing her face in his hands. Running his finger over her bottom lip, he could have kicked himself for asking, "Are you sure about this, Stephanie?" Silently, he begged her to be sure. He didn't think he could walk away without having her. He watched her bite h...
