I'm working from home today and am finishing up a few more tickets when I hear the back door slam. Hubby's home from work and just by that slam, I can tell he's had a rough day. It's been a long few weeks of work for him- seems if it can go wrong, it has. I come out of my office and his eyes are glazed over- he looks like he's about to pass out. He has a med...
(Author's Note: This is the last non-erotic chapter of Goddess. Thank you for your patience and I apologize in advance for the feels.) ***** Tom came to late next morning. His head was pounding like a drum, his stomach felt like it was going to explode, and every part of him otherwise felt like hell. "A hangover" he thought "Shit, I haven't had one of th...
Geoff sprinted through the darkness, darting from tree to tree, sweat dripping down his cheeks. Branches snagged at his clothes and hair, yet he endured it. He knew he ought to tread lightly in order to hide his tracks, but it was impossible at the pace he was keeping. The orcs would be on his trail by daybreak. Gods forbid they pursued him through the nig...
The only day Renée broke her routine she had a friend, for the first time he'd seen since he'd learned of her. Her companion was a boyish thing, about Renée's age but a couple of inches shorter. They both carried towels and wore only water-wear—the girl's a white string two-piece, her friend's a red leotard with a blue diagonal stripe. The Filthy Hermit saw...
Deanna walked by Trixie, who was sitting in the rec room, playing with her phone. Trixie looked up at Deanna, and smirked. Deanna was enraged. My stepdaughter is a little bitch, she thought. Trixie was a 20 year old college dropout, and as lazy as sin. Many times in the past Trixie had been the victim of Deanna's acerbic tongue. Deanna, who had worked for...
Grey skies, light thunder and the cool breeze with drizzle over the city. It was a perfect evening to cozy up sip on some hot cocoa. I was on my way to pick up my girlfriend from her work. She was excited to make me meet her new friend who had just joined their company, maybe a few days ago. Georgia was really happy about her new friend and I was enough happ...
Do I really have to go in there? Lana thought as she stared at what had been a manhole once. Something that had come before her though had turned it into a regular hole. The only evidence of what it had been was steel manhole cover that had been flung halfway through a Buick as whatever it was broadened the entrance to accommodate its girth. Whatever that t...
(Authors note: The story is now open to the public. Feel free to write anywhere you like. Long as it doesn’t overwrite an existing branch. Wish another branch, wish another arch, the choice is yours) It’s just any other ordinary day at the office, when the world falls into a simple mans lap. That man is you, Jack Miles. Working at a small two story office co...
The alarm clock was going off way too early, and I struggled to find the snooze button. By the time I found it, it was too late; I was awake. I hated most mornings, and this one was no different. I'm not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. But the internal struggle to get out of bed that morning seemed much more difficult. For starters, it...
They say there is a fine line between the emotions of love and hate. Supposedly it's even documented that a person can swing back and forth and at times experience both emotions at the exact same time. Up until six months ago I would have said that was impossible, but no longer. Right now there is a damn war going on in my head. I'm going from loving to hat...
