The show was impressive. Most Vegas shows were. Likely it had cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and the point seemed to be to display women’s breasts. Amy did not quarrel with this; she had enjoyed it. It had put her in a mood. Her husband Rich and his old college friend Mike had enjoyed it even more, and were discussing it the way drunken men do as the...
My thanks for Cantdog for encourangement, suggestions, and help straightening out the curves. ******************************************* I let myself in with the key Gail had given me, and made my way upstairs to their apartment. I knew they wouldn't be home yet, which made it stranger somehow. No matter how many times you've been in someone else's flat,...
When Cindy and Tom moved into their new neighborhood north of Pittsburgh, their next door neighbors were very friendly and helpful. Before they moved in the neighbors came over and introduced themselves. They explained a few details about the house, and even helped install some shelves. Moving day was a Wednesday so the neighbors, Lindsay and Rich, were at...
My new wife Dina and I stepped out of the chilly evening snow into the warm home of my high school friend Rich. His wife, Tina, greeted us with great hugs, exclaiming "I feel like we are old friends." Tina is obviously not shy, nor reserved, as she looked down at Dina's erect nipples saying, "and you either feel the same or are very cold." Rich and I were be...
It was nearing noon on Sunday morning when Beth awoke to find Rich lying next to her on his back still sleeping soundly. Both were naked, but that was how they routinely slept, at least in the years since they had moved to Palo Alto. The room was warm from sun that had been streaming in the windows for several hours. She tossed the sheet aside, thinking, o...
Quest 8: The Alien... A ray of moonlight greets the alien as he opens his eyes. He knows he is dying. This is a fact that he has been aware of for several days. He coughs. He hears movement and soon the human, who he had sent for, is by his side. He stares into the human's eyes and can spot the fear that is there. However, there is more. He can see the m...
Erna Mae Walters pushed the front door open and trudged inside, her head aching from all the tears she cried. Harold was finally gone. It had been a long year since the prostate cancer had come out of remission and reclaimed her beloved husband. Erna could do nothing but watch his deteriorate into the shell of the man that they buried hours earlier. Her hear...
Author's note: I did not expect I was going to post my short stories on this site. They tend to be tragic, and Notable last words is no exception. It's strange, I want my short stories to be powerful enough to punch someone in the gut. They probably aren't, not yet, but I'm quite sure that there's a glimmer of profoundness in each one of them. At least tha...
I've been married for five years now to my best friend Rich. Throughout our time together he has always wanted me to be more "adventuresome", his word for exhibitionist. I was never comfortable showing off around town, someone might see and then the gossip would start. For our fifth anniversary I agreed to let him dress me every day if we went somewhere tro...
Laurie lay on a beach on the big island of Hawaii. Two whole weeks on the island in a big house some friends had let her use. The weather was perfect in the mid 80's with a constant sea breeze blowing in off the cool pacific. As idealistic as it may have seemed Laurie was there for more than just a vacation she needed time to think. Laurie had been doing a...
