Anyone who tells you that working on Wall Street is an awesome gig is a flat out liar. Wall Street is filled with overambitious, sycophantic political assholes. You have no true friends. The people you hang out with after work, at office parties, in the Caf or sometimes even on the weekends are just stepping stones. You do not take anyone seriously...unless...
I wanted her from the first time I saw her. I had just moved to a new town with my girlfriend, Kristy, and I was finishing my training at my new job when I worked my first shift with her. She is a petite woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to voice her opinion. She has long blond hair and piercing green eyes. She must be about 5'6" with an hourg...
Author's note: This is a short short story, with no sex. It is a character in one of my novels. If anyone is interested in a writing challenge, try writing this girl's diary. Feel free to contact me. * Have you ever dreamed of being snatched out of your life into something much grander? That happened to me. One day I was a waitress at a greasy spoon diner...
Colleagues leave the office for an ordinary sales trip but plotting and scheming behind the scene brings results that are hardly ordinary. As a recently divorced 35 year old male I should have been excited when our manager Mike asked me to take a trip with a single female colleague ten years my junior. There was a drawback to the idea, our travel plan invo...
Let me tell you about when I was 24 and out of collage, at my first engineering job. Training for the corporate ladder et. al. I didn't think I was cut out for it. Getting confused about where I was heading, I went for a drive after one Friday. I ended up at a bar that I never have been to or since. I was felling to myself and sat at the bar with my crown ro...
The way you tuck my hair behind my ear brings a moan to my lips, the sensual simplicity of the action pulling arousal from deep inside. Your fingers trace my jaw, bringing my chin up towards you. Your lips are gentle, inviting and reassuring. You're so tall I stand on my toes, arching my back and falling against you. How we ended up here is hazy, I remember...
Eighteen months ago, I'd become a real slob. Four failed "romances" and being held in low regard at work had driven me to a chocolate, beer and fast food diet. I piled on the pounds and the inches. It all started to change when I got a new job. I helped many people solve problems they couldn't and was gaining their respect in the process. In short, I began...
I enlisted on my eighteenth birthday. Graduation was still months away but I counted the days until I was free of my mother and her husband. If you detect animosity you are correct. I would no more call him a step-father as he would refer to me as his step-son. My Recruiter actually felt sorry for me and got me out of the house by having me work with him in...
I must have zoned out because next thing I saw was her face, inches away from mine, her emerald eyes blazing into mine, her voice hoarse, demanding "Did you hear any words I just said?" I looked away, because if I looked at those eyes another second, I would have done something I would regret. I mumbled, "No." She reached for my hand, and her touch caused...
The central position in the world and the universe, which man was credited with for so long, has gone now for many years. Century after century he thought his uniqueness had to do with the mind. This became more difficult to maintain when it showed that mind was a matter of gradation. Animals too make choices and use resources. The great religions of the w...
