Author's note: Many thanks to Copperbutterfly for her editing expertise in helping make this a better story. I had watched, along with maybe 50 other people at the scenic overlook, as the young girl who might have been an early teenager, stumbled and fell over the waist-high railing into the abyss of the canyon below. I bent over the rail expecting to see t...
Selina hated New York. It hadn't been so bad once. No worse than Coast City or Keystone, last time she'd been there. But that had been back when she was still a teenager. It'd changed since then. Most people blamed Giuliana, but Selina personally held Disney accountable. Them and six other megacorporations. Couldn't make money on a city with personality. Th...
Chapter 1 -- Cassie, Julie and Eve Julie and Cassie had been together for a long, long time. They had been at the same uni for six years now, and both were in their final year of a Ph. D. They'd met on the first day of O-week, in Canberra, at the National University of Australia, when they had moved into ressies. Julie was from Perth, and Cassie from Sydn...
'If we don't end up killing each other this band has endless possibilities.' - Richey Osgood, NME, 1989. * Having put in place the measures that would hopefully take the band forward into the Nineties, Richey took one further step towards conformity. The photographs that arrived in the post in August 1989 depicted Richey in a grey morning suit and the new...
A tale of two people who loved each other but didn't notice when things began to go wrong. It happens all too often. Edited as always by Angel Love. My thanks to her for her encouragement and comments, always right on target. I hope the 60 year old guy likes this one. * Where Was She? Part 1 Where in the hell was she? It was now just after 7:00 in the...
After our third child was old enough to go to school, my husband wanted me to go back to work. He had a good job with an engineering firm, but felt we needed the extra income, so like a good wife I agreed and started to look around. As luck would have it, a construction company down the street was looking for help in their office, and after an interview I wa...
A few months later they were all informally sitting around the dining room table as had become pretty much the custom in the house. Amelia's webcam business was doing fine and she came to visit almost every day now. She was so used to being naked in the house that she now felt it would be out of place and even rude if she started dressing again. "Crescent Gi...
A few days went by and the guilt of cheating on her husband, now twice, was consuming her. She never intended to have these affairs. She was looking for some level of recognition, but was not ready for what she did receive and the crushing wave of wanting and lust that consumed her. In the first month of work, she felt like she was so much more than a bori...
No surprise, Sherry awoke with a pretty big smile on her face. And after the insanely hot night she'd had enjoying things she'd only ever dreamed of with her new young stud, who could blame her. But when she looked across the bed at the other pillow and saw that he was gone, it felt like her the warm fuzzy little bubble she'd been wrapped in suddenly burst....
It was 1:18pm when Jordan crept back into his chair. Fortunately, papa gram was over getting a report printed, so the eternal hellscape of withering looks was conspicuously absent as he returned a few mins late to his chair. Jordan allowed himself a crooked, self-satisfied smile to move briefly over his face as he sat down, his chair singing its praises of...
