I sat down in her home office, the chair opposite her desk. "Thanks for seeing me on a Saturday," I said. I need representation." She nodded. "Which is why I agreed to see you today. Tell me about it." "I need to sue my employer for sexual harassment. It 's getting uncomfortable working for her." "Her? This is a switch," she said, "and it sounds like this...
"Am I going too fast for you?" Meredith asked Billy over her shoulder as they walked briskly down the concrete walkway. "No," Billy said, but he couldn't suppress just the slightest bit of strain from his voice. It was a beautiful day, the first real warm day of the year. As an added bonus, it hit on a Saturday. When Meredith suggested taking the reading th...
Do you know how, on entering a room, you just know that something is not quite right. I was hit with that revelation the instant that I opened my front door and entered the living room. It could have been the furniture that had been upset, or my collection of vinyl albums that had been used as Frisbees against the wall. Or even the pool of good red wine in t...
Serial payback starts to get out of hand. An original story. Chapter 2 of 4. I know that I usually write story continuations, but there's been enough clamoring, comments and emails encouraging me to write my own, that I figured I'd offer up a few. I don't think the trolls will care one way or the other. I hope you enjoy this little story, and remember,...
I suppose it really started two years ago when I was working for a small community newspaper in Colorado. It was the holiday season and, as in a lot of places, when the holiday season arrived the offices take on a gay, festive air. Banners and posters appear, Christmas cards get pinned up on cork memo boards and desks suddenly sprout scented candles and cand...
If you've read "Infatuation With A Co-Workers Tits" or "Infatuation With CoWorkers Tits Pt2" then you're familiar with Katherine. If you haven't then (A) you should, and (B) allow me to introduce you to her. Katherine is a total bitch that is also smokin' hot. Not Kathy. Not Kat. Katherine. She went to an all-girl Catholic high school. Ivy League college. S...
After paying the cashier I grabbed my tray, making sure I had a firm hold of my glass of iced tea, and looked around the crowded delicatessen. My work on a software upgrade delayed me, so I faced a larger crowd than I normally ran into at lunch. Looking down the racks of wine bottles and assorted cheeses I spotted an open table but before I could move that w...
When Carly reached the privacy of her car she pulled her cell phone out and dialed home, or at least, what use to be home. A familiar male voice answered on the second ring. "Yello?" he drawled. "Are you trying to humiliate me? You had me served at work?" "Well, hello to you, too," Mike said, indifference in his voice. "Just where should I have sent them,...
Free speech does not mean the right to scream "Fire!' in a crowded movie theater. The matter has been decided in courts of law and in the court of public opinion. [It comes under the doctrine of reckless endangerment.] In both arenas, the backers of unlimited free speech have lost. Free speech does not mean the right to physically threaten someone. Again, t...
Jenny had been employed at the law firm of Sutton, Marsh and Turner for the last six months. She had hired in as a receptionist, having no previous legal experience in her resume. She realized she was hired for her looks, and the first impression she would create for the clients of the firm. Coworkers mentioned that all past receptionists were attractive, bu...
