Capisco. The population census was about a hundred thousand. A lot of supplies from the Seven Nations, especially food, were funneled into the base from the city. The area beyond the base and its ten rad buffer zone was thick with towns and farms growing crops and raising livestock. I was going to meet a contact from Imperial Security, a Melannee Siroptic....
I wrote this story some years ago and I have just re-edited it for posting . It is the final chapter and bears no relation to anyperson living or dead, but one can dream! ***** Mary was being highly flirtatious, even suggestive, and Tony was missing Debbie badly, so she provided a useful diversion for him. Even before the dinner had really started she s...
Sellsword 1 – Jarveena This story was previously posted on a sight that is no longer fully functional. He rode slowly toward the walled keep. Where his skin showed, it was sun bronzed and cris-crossed by the white of many scars. His eyes, below the gray brows, were hard and dark, like the eyes of a predatory beast. The blazing sun glinted off the mail shi...
Bob Sharpe had stayed behind at Juniper base with a small army of techs and mechanics, and had brought along three truckloads of food and other supplies, along with two small tankers of fuel; one diesel and another of aircraft gas. One of the first things to be unloaded had been one of the smaller diesel generators liberated from one of the Chinese bases, a...
It looked like it would be an absolutely terrible Holiday Break for me. As an orphan, having been abandoned by my mother just days after birth and having never known my father, I had no family to go home to, for I had never been adopted.

There is something primal about making love near the ocean. Tides are a ri...
Upon returning to her room, Abby was disappointed to see the dresser still as empty as she had left it that morning. She knew the drink had something to do with the man who had appeared in her dream. When she undressed, she decided to take off her chemise as well, just in case he would return after all. Abby was stark naked when she got into bed. She had ne...
They sat on opposite sides of the couch in silence, neither saying a word to each other. A magazine sat open on her lap, and as she flipped through the pages she could feel his frustration rising. "I hate you so much," Ben said suddenly, staring straight ahead. Julia didn't even look up from her reading at her boyfriend's outburst. She had gotten used to th...
Note to Readers: Yes, it is long. I am not good at writing short stories. I am who I am. I like getting into the mind of my characters too much to sacrifice their chance to live for the sake of a quick wank. This is a story that has been in my head since I was a young, not-so innocent, teenage girl. It is part one of a two part story. I'm not sure if I'll...
*Author's Note: To celebrate the season I thought a simple, sweet love story would be appropriate. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! ****** "Sorry, buddy. Can I squeeze in here? Looks like the flight is gonna be packed." "Yeah, I got lucky and got a window seat in an emergency row. Every inch helps when you're over six feet tall." "At 5'9"...
