Roche swore as she climbed up a set of stairs, one of seemingly hundreds in the massive, sky-piercing 'Tower of Poloskis'. Her plate-mail was covered in blood, soot, trace remains of acid, was dinged and scratched beyond serviceability, and was squeaking uncomfortably with every step she took. Her shield had been swallowed long ago by a sticky worm-monster....
I wake up late and you have already left for the day. I knew you said you had to work but expected you to at least say good bye before you went. You had asked me months ago to reserve this specific weekend for you and to make sure that I had off Thursday thru Sunday off because you had plans for me. I have thought about this since you first told me that you...
Out here in the hallway by the case of trophies and pennants, the sound from the gymnasium was less music than it was simply a heavy beat that made the walls rumble. The school hadn't hired the best dj in the world for the dance, but he did have one hell of a speaker system. Felicia would have liked to have been in the gym, dancing, instead of out here play...
"So, did you see him?" Yelena said, putting a new bottle of wine on the small table between them and lowering herself into the wing back chair opposite. Nataliya jumped slightly at her friend's return. She had been drifting in pleasant reverie, staring intently into the dancing orange flames - the warmth of the fire and the half-bottle of sweet wine she'd...
The clock on Eli's night stand read 3.30 a.m. I looked over at Eli, he was still asleep. I could not believe I gave into this man so easily. Now he will probably think i'm some floozy. I shook my head and crawled off of his bed, slowly as not to wake him. I grabbed my clothes. I smiled when I found my panties dangling on his lamp. I found my purse on his kit...
Written in collaboration with Dalhia 57 who provided a large part of the plot. * While Naina and Dan were training in a gym in the East of France, Ritu was mourning her sister. It was the first time she was separated from her and she didn't like it at all. Tom had done his best to soothe her, remaining with her all the time and working to her side. The sit...
You gaze dreamily at the little black dress in the charity shop window. It's Christmas, it's party season and you'd do anything to wear the delicate feminine dress. You shrug your shoulders and gaze further into the shop. The company Christmas party is tomorrow and you've no idea what to wear or who to take. You stare once more at the dress in the window and...
Jungle fever. That's what everybody thinks when they see us together. As if sex is the only thing in the minds of Black men and White women when we get together. Well, as someone in such a relationship I resent that. My name is Anne-Marie Longueil. I was born and raised in the City of Trois-Rivieres in the Province of Quebec. My world changed when I moved to...
Wilhelm Dautch and his twin brother Ron were expected to return to the concert venue over a half hour ago. Their band, German Blood, had been rehearsing for the final night of their U.S. concert tour when they decided to break for lunch and Ron and Wil decided to take a short tour of San Diego. It was more like the downtown shopping district. They wandered...
On my way through the door I bump into an Imperial Storm Trooper in full uniform. White body armour, sharply moulded pectorals, battle helmet with black downturned mouth and intimidating demon eyes. He looks like he has just finished a shift on the Death Star marching-around-looking-bossy. As soon as he claps eyes on me, though, he lets out a girlish squeal...
