TO BE READ BY ADULTS AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE ---------- Laying in bed, Todd heard someone rustling from the other side of the room. Not moving himself, he whispered out the side of his mouth. "Candy, do you hear something?" Chris woke up and said, "What?" "Shh. I think there's someone in our room." Both Chris and Todd slowly rose up and saw a figure st...
This is the story of a young woman's conviction as a terrorist and what happens to her when she is sentenced to penal slavery. Penal slavery is not impossible. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America do NOT prohibit slavery. They only LIMIT slavery to punishment for crimes. In other words, the Constitution...
I've been a college student now for 4 years and even though I have lived off some scholarship money, student loans, and a part-time internship that does pay a little, I'm still what I would consider, a broke college girl needing money. That was until this past spring break! I've always been an entrepreneur in training, as my mom would always say, even from t...
Shyam exited his house as Neeta prepared for her bath. He was a little late to his office, so was hurrying. As he drove his car, he noted his phone ringing. When he looked up at the screen, he noticed his sister in law, Sumitra, was the one calling. He picked up and answered, 'hi Didi, how are you?' Sumitra replied, 'I am fine, Shyamji. How are you?

CHAPTER 4.1: ISHTAR Going back home was both the best and the worst thing I could have done. Chrissy and I were finally able to reconnect with each other. It was the way it used to be when we first met each other. Maybe it's true what they say, that absence makes the heart grow fonder. We went out of our way to schedule a lengthy skype conversation every da...

(Chapter 3 is now Chapter 4, etc etc.) Please leave comments for me. Thank you! (Diolch.) "Thy time for my allegiance!" shouted a husky warm voice outside the ten...
I stared at the flickering computer screen and watched the spreadsheet in front of me curl together like day-old gravy. It was like a slow leak of gray matter was collecting in puddles across my desktop. Two million dollars in savings needed to be squeezed from a budget already gutted beyond recognition and I had a better guess why the Mona Lisa was smiling...
Pale as milk, Evelynn swept into the throbbing shadows of the club. A phantom vision with blood red lips and silvery gray eyes, she immediately headed for the bar of her favorite lesser-known goth haunt. It was the obligatory hole in the wall from the outside, but elegantly decorated within. She recognized the music as Wideband Network, the song one of her c...
Changed and tempted Chapt. 1 Very slowly, I began to open my eyes; there was a blurred image of a man, standing beside me - beside my bed. I could see he looked like a surgeon, green scrubs and a mask, touching me, squeezing my breasts. My Breasts? Still woozy, I thought, Hang on a minute - I Have Breasts! Two nurses were beside me, checking me over, co...
Looking at my watch, I groaned as I saw it was still five minutes to 7. "Did this damn thing stop!" I said to myself as I stared at the big pile of applications that were to my right on the desk I was sitting at. Deciding that I'd at least get a jump on things, I grabbed some of the papers on the pile and started tapping them on the desktop, straightening t...
