「ザキさん、こんなクソ寒い夜中になんの用ですか」 空気も凍るような寒さの夜、理由も告げずに俺を稽古場へ呼び出した小劇団の先輩、崎山に不満を隠さず声を掛けた。そこは、稽古場というより廃倉庫といったほうがしっくりくるボロ屋で、風が吹かないだけ外よりマシという状況だった。貧乏劇団ゆえ暖房器具など置いてすらない。 「おう、すまねぇな、森田。ちょっと見せたいもんがあってな」 「金貸してくれってのは無しですよ」 「そんなんじゃねぇよ。芝居の話だ、芝居の」 崎山はもう四十も半ば、芽の出ない役者だ。売れない理由は、今時となっては珍しい「飲む」「打つ」「買う」と三拍子を見事に揃えた素行の悪さが、業界中に知れ渡っているせいだった。どこぞの脚本家の奥さんに横恋慕して旦那に殺されかけただの、賭場で負けて裸で電車に乗って留置所に入れられ...
Maddie sighed, tired from the hike but moved by the gorgeous vista before her. Dwight was right- This mountain, crowded with skiers during the winter, was largely ignored in the hot months, leaving a verdant scattering of grass avenues and rich, tall trees that were totally devoid of anyone, save the two of them. Her muscular frame growing restless, Maddie t...
I'm an RN at a local hospital. This story is an actual event that took place when I was a nineteen year old nursing student doing clinicals at another hospital. The names have been changed because I could loose my job over this. It was Monday evening, I was in my third week of clinicals, and I was making my rounds to get vitals on the patients. I walked in...
My wife is pretty well known to the guys in our town. It must run in the family. When they were younger, my wife and her sister, Ally, were very trying to fit in at a new school, where they had moved in high school. As there were very few Asian people at their new school, they were seen as a mix of exotic and outsider. Bec found her way to popularity, throu...
With a stretch and a small yawn, I awaken to the sounds of the shower being run in the bathroom. Wiping the sleep from my eyes I move from the bed and stumble towards the sounds. Bare feet pad softly upon the carpet and then the tile of the bathroom. Stopping for a moment to graze your silhouette with my eyes. Just watching you. Perhaps you sensed me there,...
It had been a week or so from Gretchen’s first encounter with Chloroform. She didn’t have much to say, but said that she liked the feelings of being used, and that she liked the video I had made during the encounter. I didn’t know how much she liked it until late last week. I decided to take a day off from my workout routine and come home directly after wor...
Charlie walked down the steps next to the pier and out onto the white sand. The long shadows of the pier in the early morning shaded the sand, keeping it damp and cool. Later, in the heat of day this sand would be blistering hot. He walked to the dunes to his right surveying the naked beach as he walked. "Naked," he thought, "naked is right... there's not a...
Once again, thanks to my editor cannd for helping me out on this chapter. She makes it possible for the stuff in my head to appear here in a somewhat coherent format. Keep commenting! I swear, they're addictive. They boost my little writer's ego. So here's chapter 6. Enjoy. :) ~indiglowblue ***** Rey watched Ryder and Tenner from the shadows, biding he...
"So what? Have you made friends with your new little room yet?" Mistress Veronica asked, playing with the gloves she was holding in her hands. "Yes my Mistress. A very pleasant place," replied the scared maidservant. Mistresses looked at each other and smiled. Slowly, they began to put black leather gloves on their left hands right next to the maidservant...
I was really looking forward to making my first documentary film, being that I had barely finished college. This would also mark the first time that I would ever go to South America to study the tribes. I left along with two others, a 56 year old male film maker, and a 34 year old female professor. We really didn't know where this tribe was settled and we w...
