PART 1 I'd like to tell you a story about some people I know. This story has only three main characters. Actually, depending on how you define 'characters,' it may only have two. Let's call it three. The main character isn't a person. It isn't even a living thing, so I'm told. It is an infectious agent, more commonly called a virus. Yes, you guessed it. The...
This story has been adapted from entries from diaries entrusted to me after my mother's death. I have 'changed names' to protect the innocent or guilty depending on your point of view and I have added a little bit of poetic licence to add substance. This is by no means meant to denigrate her memory but to share a little of the real sensuous, broad-minded wom...
A/N - It has been a long time folks, I've missed you all. I'd like to say a huge thank you for everyone who has supported me over the years. As I have mentioned in a comment in Part 8, I haven't been well for a while and have been writing sparingly over the past two years. I've made you all wait so long for another chapter that I have decided to release this...
"Splat"..."Take that"..."No"...."Splat..."You take that"...."HA HA HA HA".... Back and forth the two lovebirds went, flipping water from their bottles of Aquafina at each other as they laid side by side on the floor, helping each other study for finals. Wendy Smith and her boyfriend of 3 years, and fiance of 8 months, Brad jossled and flirted incessantly w...
**************************** AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is my third first-person sketch: though if I pay any more attention to these things, I'll have to call them "stories." The title gives this one away: it's part 2 of "Beads & Pearls." This episode has the same characters partying down during Mardi Gras, but their second evening takes them on a different path....
"Don't listen to anybody. Nobody knows the magic bullet. If they did, they'd sell it and make a fortune. Follow your gut. Follow your instincts. Every once in a while, take a chance." - Michael Cudlitz Samantha looked around her second-floor room in her parents' home. It was like a 5-star hotel suite with a furnished living room that included designer furni...
Having accepted the terms that Jill and Dawn agreed to, Mark and I were sent off with the others respective mate to the nearest bedroom. That was the polite way to put it. More bluntly, we were swapped. We'd been primed by a slightly better than average porn flick, and then rushed off to partake in a one hour tour of each others' bodies. The only major stipu...
The ship renovations exceeded my expectations and were more than adequate for our task at hand. With all of the new technology, the former crew requirement of over twenty people was reduced to a core of eight. We hired a Captain, an experienced pair of mates, a Chief Engineer and his assistant, a radio/radar tech, and two crewman/deckhands. The crew was most...
The Christmas holidays were enjoyable this year in Pismo Beach, California. Another year has come and gone, much too quickly. I prepare for the New Years Eve celebration and look back at all the exciting trips and events that occurred in 2018. There were successful RV trips, an epic train ride to Denver, and new relationships formed. Excursions with my trave...
THREE GUYS. ONE GIRL. ONE WILD LOVE STORY... Storytellers and poets have written many tales of love. Love true and star-crossed, passionate, tortured, fleeting and lost- tales written since the ancient world to the modern. This isn't gonna be like those stories, though. Maybe you think you've already read this one, and know everything there is to know abo...
