A cold rain was falling, slow but steady, as I drove home that night. Even though it was almost 7:30, the traffic on the expressway was horrendous, probably because of the weather and the fact that it was Friday, with everyone trying to get out of town for the weekend. I wasn't surprised. The heavy stop-and-go traffic, which I absolutely abhor, was fittin...
I had never felt so frightened in all my life. I had always had a secure job and now I had been told I was unemployed! It was so sudden it came as a shock to all of us. I have been chief cameraman for this large film studio for the past 7 years and I had always thought my position was there for as long as I wanted it. The stupid major shareholder of the comp...
Hard to believe that this has happened. As a professor at a smaller college in Oregon, with a youth spent in Idaho, I have led a pretty boring and safe existence. My social life as a young adult had been pretty good. I was reasonably well liked, had good friends and most of the time, had girlfriend around. My relationships with these women seemed mostly pr...
Chris yawned and moved to the next section of shelving. A big truck had made for a long night, leaving him and the rest of the night stock crew facing up the store after opening. "Never ending, man," his friend Alan grumbled from the other side of the aisle. "Feels like it." "At least the scenery ain't bad." After turning around to see where Alan was loo...
I thought the place was empty. The big, old – in fact quite eerie Georgian period house was in one of those quiet, tree lined streets in the genteel old town. Sent to survey the plumbing for the company I worked for and the last job of the day, I had been advised the key was where the lazy estate agent had left it hidden. It was and I let myself in to the ha...
Author's Note: Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I first want to apologize for the long time gaps between chapters. I tend to write these stories in spurts, and often take my time to get the proper inspiration. I hope you enjoy this one just as much as all my others. Fear not, I will continue this storyline as well as my others. I even have id...
While she attended to her duties I realized that I desperately needed to hit the men's room, and soon. Too much coffee had created a fairly urgent urge. Looking around, I noticed the "Restrooms" sign above the opening to a narrow hallway at the rear of the dining room. I gulped down the last of my coffee and stood, heading in that direction. In the hallway...
(Author's Note: this is a Surefoot Christmas Special, taking place some months after the end of the last one, Mother's Cub, so the next one you read, My Summer on Vulcan, will take place between Mother's Cub and this one. Maybe a few others. But this one is still canon, and what is revealed here will have a sizable impact in the future. Confused? Just have s...
A captain discovers his battalion's dirty secret. Moaning, laughter, and screaming. All things you'd never expect to hear while making your rounds in a military base. What the hell was going on here? I thought to myself, as I rounded the corner and stepped toward the noise coming from the troopers' barracks. There, the door hung slightly ajar, light stream...
Here we go! Chapter one of the sequel to "A Genius in King Arthur's Court" is here at last! For those of you who have not read this aforementioned story, I highly recommend you do so. Otherwise, you'll likely be completely lost. Also of note, the sexual content for this story will likely be about on par with the previous story. It's there when appropriate, b...
