This draft press release was secretly forwarded to me from an old college friend, well placed at the Googleplex in a high-profile R&D unit. He insists on anonymity for obvious reasons, but he has proved a reliable source in the past. (I heard about Google Glass from him in 2012 about six months before beta versions actually appeared in public.) Internal meta...
They called it Springdale Peak, a gated community far from civilization deep in the countryside. Springdale had a unique set of rules for anyone to move in, as stated in their official charter: 1.) All residents need to be between the ages of 18 to 55. This includes children in families. 2.) All residents need to be in peak mental and physical health and mu...
(Narcissus, oil painting by Jaisini) The theme of Narcissus in Jaisini's "Blue..." may be paralleled with the problem of the two-sexes-in-one, unable to reproduce and, therefore, destine to the Narcissus-like end. Meanwhile, the Narcissus legend lasts. In the myth of Narcissus a youth gazes into the pool. As the story goes, Narcissus came to the spring o...
Sometimes we are asked why we do something, and sometimes we ask ourselves why we do something. This is a case of the latter. Specifically, I have been thinking about why I write erotica.

Every Valentine's Day since I had left for graduate school, I stepped up onto the old gray train heading home. I made the trip for Easter and Christmas, but those visits were for my family. They were happy, full times of laughter, general silliness, and catching up for the past few months. We would spend time chatting with grandmas, grandpas, uncles and seco...
New York City Natalya strolls casually across her New York City flat smiling to herself. She drops the last article of clothing to the floor as she reaches the window. The view from the thirty-ninth floor is an amazing sight to her. Of course anyone seeing her standing there clad only in a thong in her human form would agree to the assessment even if her po...
Please read Chapter I and II first, as this is an ongoing story and will make little sense without them. Chapter III Esther was silent until they pulled into a parking garage. He drove all the way down to the bottom level. They got out and he led her to an elevator. When the doors had closed he inserted a key into the panel with the buttons. She knew those...
"Another one?" Dr. Monteza groaned and slumped dramatically over her desk. "This was supposed to be my weekend off!" Dr. Mose laughed and walked over to pat his colleague on the shoulder. "Hey, chin up. We're bringing a lot of happiness into the world. That's worth sacrificing a few weekends for, right? Besides, you would be missed at this one in particula...
Note- Another tribute, this time to Sarah Young, England's finest porn star. * If you could have an identical replica of your dream girl who would you pick? Johnny was twenty five, unmarried, and stinking rich. The young man was a genius and had founded, managed, and then sold 'UK Robotics,' the first British company to manufacture humanoid robots with an...
Chip was a lonely nerdy mechanical engineer, about 33 years old. Looked like he could be Matt Damon's younger brother. Lived in his own home in a nice development. Had no wife, no kids. To the right side, there was a couple, Carl and Nancy. Just behind his house, was Daniel and Wendy. Most of the rest of the neighborhood was in their 60s or older and did not...
