"Hi Stranger!" It was Saturday midday. Six months after I had first met Jen. We were at my local supermarket doing the usual grocery shopping that normal couples do except we weren't a normal couple. We had never spoken about the status of our relationship so officially we were not going out yet we spent almost all our spare time together. She spent most we...

When I started writing this story I had expected to h...
We didn't want to be apart from each other. Certainly this is not uncommon, for people in a new relationship, but for us the motivation was different. We were not "in love", in the stereotypical sense. By the way, "in love" is another phrase that I avoided, and as it turned out, so did she. No, what we wanted was to continue learning about each other. Whi...
My father once advised me things are not always what they appear to be. I have always remembered his wisdom and teaching. My wife, Annabella, and I decided to enjoy a small respite from our usual hectic schedule. While finishing a small job in Las Vegas, we chose the Bellagio for a week-end rest. That evening, we attended a Celine Dion concert and afterward...

Pamela Howard was my best friend. She acquired that label the day she was assigned the locker next to mine on her first day on the job. We were lab bunnies. The name, "lab bunny," was attached to any female who worked in the lab at Zytech. It didn't matter that it was an antiquated idea; our lab was old school and scoffed at political correctness, when given...
"You stink like a toilet, Veena." Vivek said to me as soon as Suja left for the day after her set of imparting humiliation. "Go and take a bath now, we may have guests." Vivek continued. I was happy to hear this; my ordeal was coming to an end. I immediately rushed to the bathroom and started to take my bath. I even sang my bathroom song as I was really ha...
"Bring him out!" Gary Garrett quaked beneath a black hood. His hands were bound together behind his back by some kind of plastic tie. Who were they? Al Qaeda? ISIS? The IRA? Was the IRA even a thing anymore? What did they want with him? He was a nobody. He worked as a community manager for one of the smaller DoTA-type online games. The job didn't pay par...
Mya's P.O.V I can do this. This is what you wanted remember. Nothing will happen that you don't want to happen. I repeated this to myself for the twelfth time hoping I was doing this correctly. I stood in front of the Stone hotel. It was a front of course, for those who didn't know what to look for but, I knew better. It was a hotel from floor one to fifte...
