It smells. It smells everywhere. But not as much so in this stairway. God, it’s a stench of dead insects and sour cheese mixed with sauerkraut under an Arabic towel. This isn’t my league, I should go. Then I remember what’s up four floors – Zelda. I met her at the arch welding class on Greystone Ave. in the Bronx. She couldn’t have looked more than ei...
There were two events going on in our family during December of 1961. One was getting ready for the Christmas holidays and the other was getting ready to move to a new house after New Years. These two events would come together for me in a way that was quite unexpected. I was just about eleven years old, and like all kids, was looking forward to getting out...
Chapter 12: Satyress - Some Mythic Sex As a demon I'd been a total bitch, and quite literally heartless. The flight back helped to quench my inner furnace, and once I landed in front of our house, my wings simply disappeared. Only when I'd clopped around to the back yard did I realize it was actually still dark out -- not only did my night vision suck again...
CHAPTER FIVE PRINCIPAL HARDEN Nothing better reveals the shallow, hedonistic nature of Cocoa Beach than the utter silence that envelopes John Kennedy High School at three-forty on a Friday afternoon; you could fire broadsides down the hallways and not harm a fly, you could sit naked on top of the flagpole and not be seen by a soul. School lets out at thre...
In those early days, I had you, the whole kit and caboodle of you. Now, I have nothing but memories of our short fused life, a life shattered too soon. In my youth, I expected a future filled with you and you and you, found much to my chagrin it was not destined to be. Since then, I have loved just as well I hope and pray, but never with the longing, the pas...
Hello Sue, I'd like to extend my greetings to all of my Raytheon friends who are still working in Fullerton. I sure miss you all! The people I clean for here in El Segundo are nice enough, but they can't compare with you. I had a chance to look around a bit in your new building and I have to admit that it was as clean as can be expected. It seems your new c...
If this is the first time you've read one of my stories, you need to know that everything I write is a true experience. It happened exactly as I describe. My husband Jim and I love sharing our experiences with others so we hope you like this adventure as much as our previous ones. Check them out if you enjoy reading about the lives of real spouse swapping co...
It all seemed to happen in slow motion. The guy at the dealership had just handed me the keys to the brand new Celica. It was so red it almost hurt the eyes. Every toy and whistle possible to add was part of the deal. I am sure I had a big shit eating grin on my face when I popped the clutch and pulled out into traffic. I scrimped and saved to buy the car,...
I could feel her mound hovering over my lips, goosebumps appeared on her skin before me as my breath whispered onto her. Outside the rain began to hammer on the window behind me then out of nowhere a bright pinky-white flash lit up the whole room. The flash was followed by a loud crack of thunder. I jumped at the intrusion, causing my mouth to join her bare...
Did you notice that the name of this article is how to buy a new car and not how to get sucked into buying an SUV, mini-van, or a pickup truck? I love cars but I hate SUV's, mini-vans, and pickup trucks. SUV's, mini-vans, and pickup trucks are too big, too heavy, gas hogs. Okay, pickups are cool if you live on a farm or on a ranch or if you need that type o...
