When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table... Dusk was dawning on glass panes of his window, smoke rubbing its muzzle, peeping from outside , streets following like tedious argument, ...every evening, it reminded him of Prufrock's love poem, more than 12 years has gone, him occupying this cabin, but today was to b...
Kima said it first. - "Taliesine? You ... you were dead." That was precisely what we were all thinking, as we stood in the blood-spattered wreckage of our sitting room, with the bodies of Cremyne and her cronies strewn on the floor. Syrava's broken neck was twisted at a grotesque angle, and her unsettling eyes were still open. It struck me that Kima ha...
Anyone who has ever been to Oak Cliff south of Dallas, knows that it is a very mixed area. At the southern end, it is very poor, and mostly black. On the north side nearer to downtown Dallas, there are some affluent areas. I grew up on the south end, and I'm not black. In the late sixties and early seventies, this was not a good thing. I attended Harrell B...
Chapter One Hundred Seventy: Sleep Like a Baby The rest of the day was better. We ate, toured more of the Castle, and met about a thousand people wandering the halls. A few were minor nobility from the Highever area just waiting for the banquet; some were staying in the castle, others in inns in the town itself, and a few lived near enough to visit for the...

It happened one day about 6 years after Amit and Anita had been married. As is the norm, she had met many persons in the marriage. Some nice, some not so nice but she had developed a liking for two persons. One was Amit's elder brother and the other was a close friend of Amit's. Nothing proceeded further because of two reasons. Firstly Anita did not know exa...
The following Saturday night dead on 7 the doorbell rang. That fucking cow just didn't get the message did she? "Look I don't, Nigel!" I gasped in surprise. My angry face dropped and I smiled nervously. I ran my fingers through my hair hoping I didn't look to messy. "Come in," I said excitedly, "are you OK?" I tried to ignore his negative expression. Jus...
We fell asleep in each other's arms, a combination of the wine and all the earlier excitement. The couch was long enough for five people and deep enough so we both had room to stretch out. An hour or so later, I woke with a full bladder and slipped down the hall to the nearest bathroom and relieved myself. Returning to the couch I looked down at my wife sle...
The days had an order to them. More days than not, Thabit came to Rida in her prison bedchamber. The encounters were violent and rough but mercifully brief. She was brought two meals a day by a timid young woman who never spoke and barely looked at her. Over time, Rida became accustomed to her nakedness. She stopped cowering when Thabit barged into the room....
