I push open the door of your office, standing in the entryway, hands on my hips. "Thought you were gonna take me to lunch," I comment testily. You glance up at me, noting that I'm in mega-bitch mode and you'd best tread carefully. "Sorry. Things got crazy here. Armstrong left a huge load of work for me this morning," you say, waving your hand at the stacks...
The bus out to the Harbor was crowded, and late. It pulled into the stop already with standing room only, so I had no choice but to just grab the overhead bar and hang on. We started back onto the freeway swerving and swaying, and I inadvertently bumped back into the man standing behind me. I turned and excused myself, and he smiled and assured me no apology...
Hello, everybody. My name is Fatima Al-Anwar and I'm a young Black woman of Somali descent living in the City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario. I was raised in the Capital region of Canada. We Somalis are well-known to be conservative, and we've been staunchly Muslim since shortly after the days of the Prophet Muhammad himself. Before the Arabian Peninsula and...
"Mornin' Ruth," I said to the receptionist, pausing briefly to take the small stack of those pink phone message slips she was holding up for me. A quick glance showed that there weren't any that needed a call-back anytime soon; more fodder for File 13. "Good morning Mr. Lentz!" she replied in that irritating oh-so-cheerful and perky voice. Christ, how can...
You think you know everything about creation? You think they've all been telling you the truth? Boy, have you been under a fucking rock. It goes like this... The bastard upstairs said, "Let there be light?". And all of his discophiles glanced upon him and scowled, because it was a fucking stupid question. Mr. Happy Without Genitals thought this over for a...

I want to be a police officer someday. In the eyes of the world, I'm just another pious Muslim gal, wearing the hijab and the traditional Islamic long skirt just like th...
It started out as any other night....us sitting on the couch, watching TV. We knew something was going to happen, and we were anxious. We have been together for a year and sex between us has always been amazing. I love older men, or at least him. He is an amazing lover and I couldnt ask for more. So anyways, we were on the couch. I was laying my head in his...
"Officer Jackson, answer the question. Why did you spend twenty minutes listening to Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe complaining about their granddaughter after it was confirmed to you she went to a friend's house after a party," the female director asks. John stands at the door holding the box of sandwiches everyone ordered, still speechless that they started the meet...
I got back to my room, sat down on the bed, wondering how things were gonna go tonight. Was I gonna become this scared, nervous teenager? Was I gonna try to act all macho? Usually people can predict how they're gonna respond to situations, but I, being inexperienced and coming from a small town where I grew up with all the girls around me, have never had t...
I wait here, because you told me to do so. I wait here because I know far better than to go against your word. I comply without hesitation. I wait for an hour for your arrival. You told me you would be here at 6:45, and it is now 7:13. I worry a little, but not to a noticeable extent. I just kill time by getting acquainted with my surroundings. I set the key...
