Everything about him screamed that here was a man who had let life slide right on by. He stopped his car, a 60's vintage Citroen DS at the fuel pump. It settled down as he climbed out and looked at the pumps and scratched his head. He took the 94 E10 nozzle from the bowser and looked for the doohickey that zeroed the price. As he stared at the dial, he notic...
My business had done very well and now I was a rich man. I had grown up white bread middle class in a small town outside of Portland Oregon, and now after a few short years I was one of the 500 richest men in the world. I had worked non-stop since dropping out of college when I was 20, and now ten years later the little program that I had written was a major...
Thank you for reading. This is my entry for the Covid19 Event. I hope it provides some escape in this troubling times. Stay safe. *** The world is in flames. Well not literally. Figuratively speaking it's close to going down the drains. To say we're fine and we will be fine if we keep ourselves neat, clean and respectful. To say -- world is doing fine, b...
We're at the hump chapter and problems are starting to head roughly in the direction of resolution. If you've gotten this far then, presumably, you're someone who doesn't mind stories that take their time. I enjoy telling my characters' stories and, sometimes, the pace that strikes me as right for that isn't a quick one. So, thanks for sticking with it. Th...
During dinner, on Dárcy's first night home, I was constantly sensing that both Michelle and Dárcy were gazing at me and didn't have their minds completely on merely eating their dinner. I wanted to ask Dárcy about the tattoo I had noticed on his penis earlier on but I was too shy to ask. Talk was minimal and polite during the meal. Plagued by an uneasy feeli...
I knocked on the door to the now very familiar suite at the Ritz, waiting for Mr. Johnson to allow me in. I knew he would just as all the others had. I expected some mild protest, some reticence in the beginning, but I knew my night would be a success. "Anita? What brings you here?" I entered without invitation into the lavish suite my company always prov...
Dan Williams didn't really know his next-door neighbor, Dina Marshall, that well. He had seen the redhead around and waved over the fence, but he and his parents were relatively new in the community, having moved there from Toronto a few years earlier. What he did know was that Mrs. Marshall was in a bind. Just a few months earlier, Mr. Marshall had moved o...
It had been a slow week when she walked into the office, a real slow week. I was kicked back in my chair, Air Jordans up on the desk, wondering if LA was ever gonna get another goddamn football team. Then I saw her limo pull up. Before my lazy-ass secretary even pointed her in my direction, I knew this was the big score, the case of the year. See I'm Slim Sh...
This story carries on from the last, beginning about three weeks later. Julie has already moved into Geoff's Flat and is continuing to work full time in the Children's Hospital, as a Sister/Ward Manager. As Julie was about to leave for work, Geoff called out to remind her, that they were due at his Sister's Dinner Party, that evening. "I'm on the early shi...
It had been almost a month now since he and Melissa had begun dating. So far it had been going great and the sex had been terrific but something had been missing and I was pretty sure I knew what it was. Melissa was still very shy in the bedroom about asking for what she wanted. I had learned to read her pretty well and could tell what she wanted most of the...
