Alice had been watching Gwen sleep for some time. Just lying there idly on the bed, Alice had awakened not long after their sexual transference. The fire had scarcely burned down at all when she had stirred and got up to look around. For some reason she was energized and wide awake. Alice took loving care to pick up her tiny little Gwen after sapping all of...
He looked at the clock on his phone. His heart quickened and he felt a momentary rush as he steered his bike around the barrier and over the railroad tracks. The clock showed it was 11:45 and he rode down the steep dirt embankment and out across the field towards the wooded area that lined the edge of the creek. He continued along the creek riding around t...
Dear Shoeblossom I thought I'd never want to leave my wife and marry one of my adulterous "flings" . Even when I began seeing Helix, my ditzy clerk at the pharmacy I own, I figured I would just have a good time with her and then fire her for, you know... Abstracting Percodans or something.

"We live in an age which is so possessed by demons, that soon we shall only be able to do goodness and justice in the deepest secrecy, as if it were a crime." ― Franz Kafka As the bastard suffocated me ― wrapping my head in translucent rubber ― all I could think was: "This smells so good!"

Mrs. Bellamy stomped up the grey moss-covered steps to her long-awaited house. She couldn't help but stare inside the full window that displayed the entire kitchen. It was like a cheap whore with her legs wide open for anyone to enter inside her loose walls. "That'll be a neat view." Goldie made her way to the blue door; she hesitated, hand hovering over the...
Author's note: This is my first submission and I've got a bit of stage fright. I'm posting three chapters of what I hope will be a long story. Because my story stretches the imagination a bit, I'm uncertain about what tags might be misleading. I enjoyed writing about Art's adventures and I hope you enjoy reading about them. I appreciate all comments: good,...
Gina: Happy Birthday Gina lied. The happy babble of the normal kids stuffed into the campus coffeehouse pressured Gina like water on a diver too deep. Gina loathed these anesthetized idiots. Their cheerful eyes accused her, their frivolous mania smothered her, and their oblivious chatter trampled her fragile confidence into the mud of their privileged, inan...
Twelve years had passed and I still can't get past her or our combined families betrayal. Trust! No bloody way! There is no forgiveness from me. No accept it, get over it and move on like they wanted. I knew it would take time, but I'd have my day! I've worked hard for the last twelve years after our divorce. I have lived like an impoverished monk to save e...
"We are so screwed," Private Patricia Etienne said aloud, watching the hordes of the shambling dead which surrounded the town of Redoubt, the last bastion held by humanity. Redoubt, the fortified enclave with the sixty-meter-high cement walls, patrolled at all hours by dozens of armed men and women. Like so many others before it, in the end, Redoubt would fa...
