No amount of genius guarantees success. Countless hours of painstaking checking and double-checking of equations and algorithms were no guarantee that this project would work. I thought back to the first true attempt with a mouse I'd bought down at Petsmart. I named him Scotty, and after wiring up the steel plate to the coax inverter coupling sequence, I pla...
Chapter 2: Richard Rises To The Occasion Richard had only just reached the front of the hotel when Leilah appeared. She was breathtaking sight. She had changed and was wearing a flaming red sari of almost gossamer appearance. Richard believed he could see the outline of her body as the light shone from behind her. her hair had been loosened too and was at w...
"Hal, is that you? When I saw you were coming to the reunion, I was expecting..." A pregnant pause filled the air. "Someone chubby with bad skin and a haircut his mother did at the kitchen table?" I suggested. The look on the face of the woman across from me at the reception table confirmed my guess. "Well, it has been 25 years," I let her off the ho...
Holly wiped the tears from her eyes as she cleaned up the mess her boyfriend had left all over the floor. It was their second fight in 2 days and before he stormed out he had thrown so much around, it looked like an earthquake had come through. In their small and shoddy apartment there was broken glass in the kitchen, and a pan full of noodles she had made f...
(Thanks very much to editors BlueEyed5ftAngel and SlickNick2412.) * Eric waited outside the house in the vast darkness. He pressed the doorbell again, eager to join the gathering inside. He hadn't seen most of his old high school friends for over a year, and felt eager to reconnect with them. The door swung open, and Jimmy appeared sipping a beer. He rema...
The adventure I'm about to describe happened in spring 2000 when Jon had to go to Morocco on a business trip. He managed to get a few days holiday and took me along with him. * The journey over there was quite uneventful except for me letting one or two people see what I wasn't wearing under my dress. The flight took off late evening England time and it ha...
The beeping of the car alarm startled her from the delicious fantasy. Margot found her hands moist. She wiped her hands on the thin material of her slacks to dry them. The sensation warmed her thighs, reminding her how moist she had become. She slowly raised her hands toward her hips. Her inner thighs had heightened sensitivity to her own touch. She wiggled...
Note: Thanks "Melissa" for the inspiration to write this story. I would like to thank LadyCibelle for the editing help. "Arghhhh!" I yelled inside myself. My boss Robert had called me in to tell me about an emergency service call I had to take. It's already 3:45 and by the time I get to the law office it will probably be 4:30. It was going to be a late nigh...
It was a warm and sunny day. Agla had been up hiking in the mountains, enjoying the quiet and solitude of the hills. She loved the atmosphere, being all by herself, letting herself be drawn in by the majestic presence of the age old monuments of earth's history. Silent, powerful, jagged, a times even a hint of threatening, and always making her feel a little...
The ribbon of asphalt snaked through the softly undulating Northern California foothills, the black surface slightly incongruous against the greening landscape. Race tracks tend to be off the beaten path, situated well beyond urban sprawl, and this one was no exception. A cluster of race cars snarled up the straight and into the sweepingTurn-1. At the wheel...
