Author's Note: This is my fourth semi-annual writing invitational. The previous three have been based on specific song titles: "This Bed of Roses," "El Paso," and "Maggie May." The theme this time is somewhat broader: any country western song. The various authors hope you enjoy the stories – Jake Rivers ~~~~~~ A nod to Microsoft for their great n...
------------ Ceria's Estate, Hell ------------ Tom followed Ceria's servant down the narrow staircase with Adze close behind, her leash wound tight around his hand to keep her from falling behind. Supposedly, there was a place down here that was so quiet that you could hear other people breathing even through these thick walls. Tom hoped that he could get a...
What is trust? Does trust exist if it does not go both ways? I have continued to ask myself that question as I was about to do something that violates another person trust. I glanced up at the clock as I sat in the living room area in Sebastian's apartment. I was overwhelmed with nervousness at what I was about to do. I didn't have much time, so I needed to...

His tunic was off now and she kissed the ridges of his abdomen, softly teasing, nipping at him...

Well, she had been very young, that first summer. She was one of those city girls who had skipped a grade. He'd met her for lunch, somehow there had been a mutual...
They seemed perfect. He was smitten with her at first exposure. She was immediately attracted to him. Their initial friendship took a long time to form, to gel into a relationship. When it did, they were truly soul-mates. Yet they broke up. The break-up can best be ascribed to "sexual politics." That term, coined in the late sixties as a by-product of the f...
Writer's note: This one took me a little longer than I was hoping, but here it is. I'm calling this one Chapter 12, Part 1 because it really should be one continuous chapter with Part 2. This time around Adam spends some quality time with Christine, and there is a pretty heavy focus on experimentation with his powers. - Chapter 12 - After seeing Ia off, I...
