Another conversation around that event, but with a whole lot more people involved in this one. No sex, so no surprise there. There isn't usually much sex going on during those types of conversations. I braced myself for what was to come. I'd seen looks of sympathy and smirking grins already, and knew it was going to happen, but it didn't matter. I looked...

Emily cycled through all her MySpace friends' pages, as well as the ones Ted operated. There were still no videos from the morning worship service. "Ted." She called him that in her head and it was fine, but she didn't have the nerve to do it at church, so he was always "Mister Ted" in public. It's not that she didn't want to; but she thought it was too fam...
This is a resubmission as the original was falsely reported and pulled last week. To the person that had it pulled; thanks. For 10 minutes work on my part, it gets to be on the new release list for another week. A simple case of Heteropaternal superfecundation. Yet another twisted story from my slightly twisted mind.

Fidelma Anne O'Leary, former Irish Catholic and Professor of Biology at Saint Edwards University in Texas made waves when she converted to Islam. The tall, blonde-haired and green-eyed Anglo-Saxon woman certainly didn't look like the Western world's conception of the average Muslim woman. And for a short while, the story of her awakening, her subsequent reje...
It was a really hellish winter's day. I had flown into La Guardia from Austin, and had been delayed, diverted, delayed, cancelled overnight and delayed again. Storms all over North America over a four-day period had caused havoc on the airline schedules. It was now almost 4:00PM on a Friday; I (and others) should have landed late on the previous night. It w...
