Sadie Sink was a bit nervous as the cab took her from the train station to the holiday resort, where she had booked two weeks of vacation. She was done shooting a project and had decided that she needed weeks off. And what would be better to head for a beach resort and get some tan. But most of the resorts didn't sound that interesting and she had almost gi...
Need to show you something when you get home, his father had written Jim. He just had sat in the tram back home and wondered what was so important that his father seems to have forgotten when he had told him he would be back. His father Geralt was working in the R+D department of a big electronics company in the city and Jim had learned, when his father was...
*Author's Note: I saw a movie by this name several months ago and tried to watch it. I only made it about fifteen minutes before losing interest, but it gave me an idea for a story (completely unrelated to the movie.) I hope you enjoy it. ***** "So what did you think?" "It was okay." "Just okay?" "Yeah, I mean I don't really like doing the machines. The...
Angie Appleton was engrossed in her favourite programme, when her phone "pinged" with a new email. Reluctantly she pressed the freeze button on the remote and reached for the phone. It was a message from her boss, it read. "Hi Angie, sorry to disturb you, but an urgent job has come up in Capetown. One of our biggest clients, Greensmiths, has been served by...
A faulty street light pinged in the darkness above as Ariel pounded down the wide sidewalk. The array of lights lining the nearly empty street cast an angry orange glow in the faint tendrils of smoke from a distant wildfire. She slowed, huffing loudly with her hands at her slim hips. Her fingers massaged her aching side while she slowed her pace. "Morning,...
Thursday. 0625. The ping of my phone filtered through my sleep. Even as my mind started to function, even before my bleary eyes had managed to focus, I knew it was you. And that the game had started. A text. From a number I didn't recognise. And in the text a simple URL, which led to a Google doc with a picture of an airport, somewhere hot and dry, and anot...
Michelle always felt a slight flutter of excitement whenever her phone's instant messenger pinged with one particular ringtone - it was the one she had reserved for her lover, Jason, and it meant a message from him. She only saw him a few times a year because she lived in San Francisco, and he in Sydney, and they only saw each other on her occasional trips t...
Kymberly lay naked on the bed, her hands and arms thrown back above her head and her legs bent and open. She was just starting to recover from the excitement of her photo session with the hotel porter, not 15 minutes before. She didn't have much time to lie there, because she had a dinner and convention to go to, and she had to get ready for them. Her husba...
"Damn, I am so bored," I groaned as I leaned back in the kitchen chair. "Well, what game do you wanna play, Derrick?" Nicole asked me. I made a face. "I'm kinda getting tired of drinking games," I told her. "Me too," said our friend Cory. "We play the same stuff every week, and I always kick both of your asses at quarters every time anyway." We were sit...
On a lovely Wednesday morning , Ryan Quinones sent a text to Monica from his bedroom. It was almost time to head out for school and today he was taking charge. Monica was sifting through her closet when she heard her cell ping. Shuffling about in her towel still worn after her morning shower she checked the message out. "It's going to be hot out today.
