*This is the second part of "Dani's Songs", from the folio, "Thanks for the Memories." After succumbing to the warm, sensual welcome of her friends, a visiting fellow gets thoroughly claimed at dawn by the host. ** I wake up to the 2nd movement of Rachmaninoff's 2nd concerto. A digital clock says it's ten minutes to 4 in the morning. I burrow deeper into...
When I woke up this morning, the sky was gray and rain was falling down onto the pale landscape of Norwood Ohio. Ohio is one of those states where you have no idea what the weather is going to be like. One day it's like sunny California, and the next day it snows, and then the next day it pelts out rain that makes you think you're living in a black and while...
He was late. He was always late. Why did she let him do this to her all the time? The bartender, "Jen" could sense her frustration when she walked into the bar to wait. "How about trying the house specialty?" Asked Jen. There was a giant tank on the bar. Chunks of pineapple and vodka. On a hot May afternoon, it looked refreshing. Ice cold Stolichnaya Vod...
A cold night had come again to their castle, then again when one lived in a place consumed by snow it was rare not to have a cold night. Being a demon of ice and spirit the cold should not have bothered Mari at all, though it did, because she craved her mate's touch on nights like these. Purple lips curled into a smile while she played with the youngest memb...
He pulled his long blond hair back and put it in a ponytail. Looking around the bar, he spotted them; both smiling nervously, so obvious in their hunger. He smiled back, and then continued to scan the prospects. His eyes went back to them. Her brown hair was long, straight, parted in the middle. His hair was cut in the current 'shag' fashion and looked seve...
I've always felt something was missing whenever I went to the movies. I'm starting to think you are what might be missing. I hope you enjoy my fantasy, and who knows, maybe one day you'll help me make it a reality. It was a long, painfully slow day at work for both of us. You dealt with a constant barrage of emergencies all day, and I suffered inane emplo...
It was supposed to be simple. A blind date, set up online. A hot chick. Me getting laid for the first time in a while. You know. Simple. And that's what actually happened. Sort of. I get to the bar, I see Meghan across the way, sitting pretty in a short black dress, legs crossed, sipping on a martini like she's sucking my cock already. Far as I'm concerned,...
In a cathedral overlooking most of the town of Raegustus, a man in a silver-embroidered black cloak stood watch over the quiet scape below. He smiled to himself, looking up at the waxing gibbous moon... tomorrow it would be full, and the ceremony could take place. All that was left was the sacrifice... and his assistants were taking care of that matter as he...
Tina seethed with frustration as she hurried her way through the midway crowd in a vain effort to get back on time to the ticket booth where she and her husband Ned ran their carnival ride from. It truly was useless. The crowd was Saturday night thick, impervious to her futile jostling. When she had left for town Ned had warned her to go straight to the bank...
~8:00PM - The following evening~ Archie's footsteps echoed lightly along the clean, hard-plastic floor of the reception area of the university campus. He checked the time as he spied the clock on the wall behind the main enquiries desk, sipping carefully from a take-away cup filled with cheap coffee from the canteen on the same floor. He had it coming, aft...
