This is my suggestion for an ending to the story, "How High a Price", by the Troubador. In his introduction, he said of Susan and Early Conroy, "They are attractive people, keep that in mind. They are highly intelligent, caring and feeling individuals. Keep that in mind also." I tried to keep that in mind, but odd things happen to intelligent, caring individ...
"What?" I asked her, not sure if I heard what she said correctly. "I have to be with someone tonight, are you the one?" I looked at her, a bit of surprise if not shock registering at her blunt request. Don't get me wrong, I am a normal male and I like women as much as the next guy. Being barely 30 and still single, I have had my share of one night stand...
"Sometimes things happen, Joey. You have to be able to let them go. I know that it's hard for you to hear right now, but you just can't spend your whole life obsessing over the past." Christ. Here we go again. "Of course I can. Who do you think you're talking to?" "Well, then you shouldn't. I raised you better than that. Please. Don't be stubborn to the...
She sat at the kitchen table, softly crying, and wondering why her husband of only nine months was doing this to her. My God, only nine months since he promised to love her and keep her above all others, to be faithful and true, and now the bastard was fucking his secretary. It had broken her heart when she'd sent his suit to the cleaners and found the charg...
"Hey, you're not the first guy to have a fight with his wife and end up closing this joint, but I do have to close. You haven't had much to drink the last hour, but you sure have stared a hole in that glass. You need to talk about anything?" Doug Hawkins looked up from the dregs of a beer he'd been nursing in a corner of the bar for almost two hours. "Nah....
Chapter 23: Appearances The landscape quickly began to change as Cyrus rocketed across the ground, a dust cloud rising up behind him. As he neared his destination, he began to slow down to a walk, taking time to catch his breath the last hundred meters or so. Quietly he began walking along the path that led to his father's home, pausing a short distance awa...
This is my list of some of the things that I dislike. I do not like fireworks. The pause between the fireworks going up, up, and up in the sky just before exploding is the part that I do not like. When I watch the tiny light climb, flicker, fade, and disappear, it feels like when I inhale and hold my breath not knowing if it is my last breath to take. Then,...
Have you ever had one of those days that's just strange, and it feels strange too? Like you just know this day is going to be different? I have had some strange experiences in my life, but perhaps the strangest of all was meeting Adelle. It was a day that had begun as routinely as all the rest: boring, uneventful, unpromising. As the day wore on, though, i...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I wrote this for another Literotica voyager who was apparently having a bad day. At least I assumed that from the tear stained Email she sent me. Mark. * * * * * "Oh, who the hell is that? It's ten o'clock at night...just figures, everything else has been going wrong...so why not this...shit." Normally I don't swear. Girls aren't suppose...
It's Friday night and I'm sitting in the conservatory, watching the repeats of the earlier Superleague game. It's after midnight, and the girls are in bed. I can hear what's going on in their bedroom via the baby alarm; they're seven and nine, but their bedroom is at the front of the house and the conservatory at the back, so we still use the baby alarm. K...
