I woke up on Wednesday morning at 7 excited to get on with my day. The new job was invigorating to anticipate. I, of course, had an appointment with Priscilla. We had agreed to meet at the student center for coffee. I decided I wanted to wear the BenWa Balls until the first class, so I put them in and squeezed them about ten times. I felt tight. Then I put...
"Boi, meet me in the parking lot of Discovery Park at 5:00 sharp. I rarely tell you what to wear, but I do want to see you in a skirt this time, above the knee. No bra. Bring a messenger bag or a small backpack. Inside, pack a change of underwear, black, a washcloth, and a plastic bag." Your instructions were clear. I took great care to follow them to the l...
Jack Ballard stared intently at the computer screen. No matter how long he looked at it, the information, and its implications did not change. With a resigned sigh he closed the QuickBooks and Excel windows and leaned back in his chair. Jack and his wife, Maryanne owned a Bed and Breakfast high on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River near Red Wing, Minn...
My name is Nikki Ayres, and for years I've kept the secret of my promiscuity from my friends, family, and co-workers. By day I'm the quiet, efficient account executive whom you might pass in the hallway and never give a second glance. When night time comes I yield to my insatiable lust and seek pleasure wherever and however I can find it. These are my confes...
"Dear Julie, This has always been a very important day for us and tomorrow was to see us embarking or our long-planned fifth anniversary honeymoon cruise and, perhaps, starting a family. There are no words to tell you how regretful I am that it is not to be. It was just about a month ago that I tearfully said that our marriage was a wonderful thing but you...
Thank you for the positive responses to Maria's Misconceptions. As for the ending, I personally hate movies that end this way (I like happy endings or paybacks), but that was all of Gary and Maria's story that I actually had at the time. My friend was very close to his brother and after he passed on, didn't discuss him much, just some memories from when they...
The year was 1974. Rhett Ballard, like an arrow against the wind, tilted his Harley chopper towards the approaching bend, watching more of the Sonora desert, wildly greened with cactus bushes, roughed up with rocks, come hurtling towards him. Air frantically combed his shoulder length black hair, beard, and glided smoothly across the chrome plating of his Ha...
Ballard High was where I went to school. Having had a fairly decent education, I ended up going on to University and at that point decided that I wanted to teach. Of course, it never occurred to me that I would end up back where I started. So now I was twenty five and teaching English at my old school. I seemed to be reasonably good at it too, as the studen...
Tilly woke up in the morning, and found Riley working in his office. It didn't appear he had gone to sleep the previous night. Riley was wearing the same clothing, and his hair which usually held a fresh sheen was dull from lack of a shower. Instead of looking ragged, Riley paradoxically looked the most energized she had seen him in their short relationship....
Pastor B.H. Eaton was the much loved shepherd of his flock at Normanhurst Baptist Church. Normanhurst Baptist was not a wealthy congregation but composed of a cross-section of steelworkers and other blue collar workers. The forty-two-year-old redheaded Scotsman had endeared himself to his fold, both young and old. Eaton did not limit his ministry to Sunda...
