Artificial Happiness

by Kritzler on Sep 24, 2019
Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Author's notes: I had this story stuck in my head for month and it wouldn't leave me in peace until I wrote it down. It might be utter nonsense but maybe you will like it. This is a longer story (>58000 words), not part of a series and not related to my previous uploads. I find it hard to put a label on what kind of tale this is. It has a lot of sci-fi/cyber...

Fetish

The Science Experiment: The Infiltration Chapter 4 Nearly crushed under the weight of the fifty pound bags of jasmine rice, Robert Sumpter and Steven Puller lay motionless. The truck stopped. Microscopic sensors on the exterior of the truck transmitted sounds and conversations to the earwigs each man wore inside. They were passing through a customs check po...

Teddy Visits a Therapist

by Charles Petersunn on Sep 19, 2017
Mature

This story concerns the further adventures of Teddy (who is above the age of 18) attending Templeton College. However, you really don't need to read earlier stories concerning Teddy to follow or enjoy the current study. This story is relatively long, but there are clear breaks (designated by dashes) identifying separate sections that can be read in turn. It...

Mystères Élémentaires

by Adrian Leverkuhn on Sep 13, 2017
Sci-Fi & Fantasy

[note: this completes the story, with a new chapter presented here with the original, earlier chapters. I'd consider this a version 1.0 effort for now, too, and at about 115 pages, it's not a short read. Also, while there are loose romantic elements, I'd consider this more sci-fi and properly considered as belonging in the non-erotic category.] Mystères élé...

Think Tank

Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Author's note: Hi everyone! This is my belated answer to the call to arms for Geek Pride. I dusted up my old Villains and Vigilantes character sheets and concocted this idyll; it's a little different from my usual fare... but not by much! I hope you enjoy your read and, well... to quote Jeff Dee: be a superhero! :) P.S. Sometimes I am able to throw in some...

Chasing The Last Road To Stockholm

by SleeperyJim on Mar 23, 2020
Novels and Novellas

This started out as part of my Conversations universe, but turned out a much longer story than I usually write. I do not apologise for its length, however, having received several emails complaining that I just write flash stories and offer nothing that readers can really get their teeth into. If you're not keen on long stories -- don't read it. If you're...

Decisions Ch. 02

NonHuman

Disclaimer: All characters are over 18. Chapter 1: "Pro Right, 513 Fullback Flare, Pro Right, 513 Fullback Flare. On one, on one. Ready... break!" I said into everybody's eyes, the team clapping in unison as we broke our huddle and hustled to our positions. I fitted my mouthguard into my mouth, biting into it and getting set directly behind the center. I b...

For readers' convenience, most non-Anglish language communications are presented in loose Anglish translation. ********** LEFT BEHIND ch.03 (Rosa moves into the future, with...
