I have been sucked into the thrill and excitement of the Twilight saga. Maybe 'sucked' isn't the most appropriate word, but it's true. Although I found many faults in the first two books, I was inclined to continue reading to see what exactly happens. This book is written very similarly to the other books and thus each twist and turn in the plot just moves...
You step out of the office building onto the busy city street, the sidewalk is crowded with 9-to-5ers rushing to get home for the weekend. It is late afternoon and the heat of the day is just starting to abate. You see a woman who was on the panel in the job interview you just had rush past you to grab a cab. She must have been in the very next elevator afte...
This chapter will be better appreciated if the reader first experiences the previous 10 chapters. A couple of characters from another work of mine (Ariana) make appearances now in this story. The author will now break the rules of writing and switch from the first person (Alexis) to the third person. This new chapter takes place four years after we left off....
From the Journal of Victoria St. Christopher: September 5th, 1879 I have decided to begin this log of my thoughts and experiences now, as we begin our journeys overland through Africa, rather than during the period whilst we were at sea, for two reasons; the first being that sea voyages are commonplace now, and unworthy of note in a historical journal; and...
A few years back, I had to take one of those week-long business seminars where everyone pretends to be awake through day after day of training exercises that look great on paper but never seem to work when you return to the real world. As is the tradition, our first day began with an icebreaker. In this case, it was to list four true facts about yourself and...
Here's a bit of flash fiction that I thought would be fun to share. I don't know where this is going, or if it will have legs and grow to a series, yet, but it's fun to imagine the possibilities. Thanks for choosing to read another one of my stories, if you're a new reader, welcome. Please check out the rest of my stories on this site. Dreamweaver594... M...
Note: With 2 weeks left to submit stories to Literotica's 2004 Winter Holiday Story Contest, there is still plenty of time to create your own precious masterpiece. As for myself, I've never won a holiday contest; some of my other stories have done very well, others have been perceived as quite mediocre. I figure I've made every mistake twice, so am trying to...
Before I begin, I have to express my gratitude to all the readers who left comments on my last post. Sometimes, when life is at its darkest, a complete stranger will shine a ray of light. I am happy to report that your "rays of light" have helped guide me through a very dark time. So, to all you random souls out there, thank you from the very bottom of my he...
Gentle reader: I do hope my introduction last time met with your approval. I realise, of course, this may not be the case at all. "All this spunky nonsense is nothing more than stuff and nonsense", you may have scoffed, and proceeded to find something much more entertaining to read or do. If so, all I can do is proffer my most sincere apologies from the very...
Eighty-six. That was the number of people killed during the most recent of raids that the country of Calmeria had endured. The enemy was crafty and had managed to avoid the country's troops as they hunted for the killers. These enemies were goblins. Standinging only half the height of an average human male, they were cunning and deadly fighters. Although cow...
