Ythes smiled fondly at the magically animated frescoes on the walls as she trod down the corridor towards the Master Mage's sanctum. Eldoras was randy as a goat to the very core, and the décor of his tower reflected that to no small extent: in the frescoes, mermaids performed animated fellatio on sailors, winged men fornicated in mid-air with human women, an...
It's great to be a second-semester senior, especially at my high school. I guess it's great all over, what with the spring weather, the girls ditching their parkas, and grades not meaning a damn thing. But our school is special, as I was reminded this morning. I was walking along behind two teachers grousing to one another as they went to their first classes...
"Bugger!" Sandra said out loud. She was lost and it was dusk. How bloody stupid of her to leave her SatNav at the office. She knew she'd be late out of the meeting and he knowledge of Buckinghamshire was lousy. She could negotiate her way around the M25 quite easily but take her out into the sticks and she was useless. Her partner had bought her the SatNav f...
_(*(*(-)*)*)_ _(*(*(-)*)*)_6 Years Ago_(*(*(-)*)*)_ I kept staring at my closet thinking that divine intervention was going to throw something out for me to wear. It didn't. I looked at my watch again. The bonfire had started already and here I was like an idiot, still staring at my closet. "If you don't pick something, I will!" Cassie shouted. She must ha...
Herman drove down the mile and a half dirt road which led to the deans house. It was an unassuming little place, two stories and had a homey feel. It came furnished and the previous owners had maintained it well. Before leaving the college, Herman had been given a senior yearbook by Cordelia. It was mainly something for the girls to commemorate their senior...
My name is Tony and I just had to tell this story of a recent medical research I was part of. I am 66, a widower, 5'9", 185, s/p hair and hazel eyes. Less than a year ago I had triple bypass surgery and my medical provider sent a nurse, Lois, to my home weekly just to take blood pressure, check the healing and to see how I was doing. She called me Mr. N. L...
Little conspiracies, all pointing the same way. Life plods along, but things are starting to turn on Senator Andjuran. Because of the amount of abbreviations in this story, I include a glossary. By popular request, this has been moved to the end of the chapter. There is little attempt to explain the back story, so it is necessary to read previous chapt...
Krista looked up from her computer. Her office atop the high-rise headquarters of her business had a great downtown view. She paused to scan the skyline. She was knee deep in things to do: hedging the commodities market to control a key rare earth metal, reviewing and rejecting another buyout offer, re-arranging her schedule to attend an emergency Total Woma...
Although this story may be read by itself, it will gain from your reading the preceding chapters first. All characters are 18 or over, as that is the minimum age for girls to be appointed as school prefects. * Janet Sanders wondered what she had done wrong to find herself in what she had to admit was a very embarrassing position for the 35-year-old Englis...
When I walked into my college-level senior English class that warm spring day, I was expecting the usual hi-jinks. School was nearly finished and most of my students, even though they were the best & the brightest, had shut down some weeks before. They were all graduating, all accepted at college, all kicking back & enjoying their last month of high school....
