I've seen a lot of things happen in the backseat of the UberBLACK that I drive in between rehearsals and acting gigs. I had a feeling I might again when I saw the the attractive couple on the sidewalk who had hailed a ride to the airport that evening. Their two tall frames tilted toward each other in a way that suggested they were about to fall, hard. "Jo...
My wife had left early in the morning for work while I was still asleep. I was off for the day and set to go on a motorcycle ride with some friends for the day and wouldn't be home until late evening. Prior to leaving I went into my wife's closet and looked through her clothes, looking to pick out something that I wanted her to be wearing when I returned hom...
Lizzy didn't know what to do next. If she let go of her shorts then they would immediately start to slide down. If she didn't hold her shirt away from her body then it would cling transparently to her breast exposing herself to everyone. Lizzy was in trouble. Things had gone definitely way farther that she had ever anticipated. As the ride entered the land...
I've been dying to tell someone of my wife's and my exciting and fun filled trip to 'Six Flags over Georgia' this past summer. We had gone there for our fifth wedding anniversary; well we had gone to Atlanta actually, 'Six Flags' was a last minute decision. Her family now lives in the Atlanta area after moving there from our hometown of Burlington, Vermont a...
I was doing a solo ride across the country on my new BMW motorcycle. I left my house just ten months after my wife had passed away from cervical cancer. I was going crazy just sitting around feeling sorry for myself. Twenty two years together and we really only started to live the last eighteen months of her life. Jan reminded me what it was that attracted m...
It was one of those beautiful late January days. You looked out the window and saw the azure sky dotted with a few small puffy white cumulus clouds and were deluded into believing that it was a warm summer day. It was the kind of day that makes me think of flying my nearly new hot air balloon up amongst the clouds, drifting along with those majestic cotton b...
I do not know why I was bothering to look for my Abaya, the traditional long sleeves ankle length Muslim dress. The chances of me staying in it once my meeting was over were slim My Hijab however would remain on. I adjusted it as I looked in the mirror, yes it would remain until one of the men wanted to deliver the final humiliation and remove it My name i...
Max's mother had prepared his favorite meal for his 19th birthday dinner. Her meatloaf, garlic-mashed potatoes and green bean casserole exceeded anything he had ever eaten. His younger sister and brother were home for the evening, and the conversation was jovial and teasing. While they ate, Max's dad shot him knowing looks across the table. There was a twi...
Bennie pushed the bike hard as he crested this next rise. A vista opened before him and he felt that blissful moment when gravity took over the heavy work, and he just had to guide the bike safely down the winding descent which would lead him out of the Berkshires. His ride back would be comparatively easy after these weeks of climbing north through the pict...
This is a slow build. We're all 18+. It's partially true. _________________________ I've always had a terrible sense of FOMO. Snow days used to drive me nuts because I was afraid my friends would be able to hang out without me. Camp was torture because I thought of all the fun everyone was having at home, and when I was at home I was terrified something wo...
