At the start off the Covid-19 pandemic in the U. S., I, Jim Young, had been married to my wife Lisa Montrose (her father talked her into keeping her maiden name when we married, and I had no objection) for eleven years and we had two kids, seven and nine years old. I was working in the IT field while Lisa worked in local government in Northern Virginia. A...
Moonlight filtered through the fogged-up windows. Dmitri put on his dirty goggles. "Are you sure about this?" "Why?" Aaron smirked. "Jealous?" "Of that?" Dmitri pointed to the bag of ice on Aaron's crotch. "I'm surprised you can still walk." "Well, you gave me a fucking hard kick." Aaron stood up with more than a little difficulty and stepped inside the r...
The Moon Spectre Moon Base August 15, 2019 20:53 EDT I stood there for a good five minutes or so watching the little arms inside the med chamber do their work. There were perhaps a dozen or so arms, but the only ones moving were two that pulsed some sort of energy at Aleena's wound. Aleena lay on her side under anesthetic while the two arms were position...
Day 35 This whole thing is getting old. I know that I am not so outgoing that these stay at home orders really mean much of a change for me, but it is that lack of ability to go and do something. However, being an immunocompromised individual with some severe lung issues with a potentially deadly virus that attacks the lungs going around, I don't even dare...
The television droned on. Another rumored case near Frankfurt. Dr. Buchanan tapped a pen on his desk with one hand as he sipped coffee with another. On the desk, a dozen memos all marked urgent laid before him. All of them discussed unusual cases, but no two of them were the same. It was an old trap for doctors to fall into, and it was being fueled by panic....
"I hate my life," I said as I plopped myself on the couch. "I'm sorry, Tom. I'll do my best to stay out of your hair," said Sandy. "And I'll do whatever I can to hurry up and find a new place to stay." "I just want you out as fast as possible," I said. "I understand." This is one of those situations where you can't help but to ask if you're being punishe...

The Covid-19 virus royally fucked up many things. I didn't expect it to fuck up my marriage too. Things had really been going to hell around New York City with the virus. I had been working mostly from home in suburban Connecticut for a week when the "isolate in place" order came out for the boroughs. By then schools had been canceled so my six and eight ye...
When Harry awoke in the morning he remembered the dream he had the night before and as he sat thinking about it, everything came to him in vivid detail. The thought of his ex-girlfriend Connie with all those men at once, and then giving in and joining the men was simply so odd for Harry. He wondered what his subconscious was trying to tell him with that drea...
Fifteen minutes had expired as Colonel Ruby Goddard returned to Sophia Ridge. Young James Ian Pryce had no more than isolated the Weaver insect when Ruby rushed back to bring him along with her. His dog Xander in tow. "Sophia?" Ruby calls out before entering the room she was left in. "I'm still here. No change." Sophia echoes in response. "Okay. I'm bring...
