My friend Blake was having his first art showing at a local art gallery. It began in January when he started a series of artworks based on iconic Sydney women. They were all nude in the paintings, but the pictures were tasteful. I wondered how he got so many women to agree to his plan. The inspiration came from the fact we were in a new decade and that we we...
I wanted to write a story that dealt with the ramifications of infidelity for those outside the nuclear family. There is no sex in this story. ***** My name is Tommy Callahan, and I'm a coward. I've known what's been going on for over a year and I've done nothing. I guess that puts a lie to the canard that twins have similar personalities; my brother wou...
A lot of people complain about their childhood but I like to think that I take the cake. I don't think anyone grew up as screwed up as I was. I wasn't abused or anything like that, well maybe I was. My Mom became a righteous nut after my Dad left. She buried herself deep into religion and got a job working at the church to help her get away from whatever it...
Her heart hammered as she sat in the layby, waiting for her liaison. Jessica, suddenly bored with being a little fat housewife and mother, had taken her life, looked at it and found it wanting. On the back of that decision she had taken her free time into her own hands and posted an advertisement on an x rated website, trying to entice more spice into her li...
I doubt riding to the hospital to have an unexpected birth is usually a calm cruise, but my experience was probably setting the bar pretty damn high. Amber was next to me chain-smoking and trying to shoot up one more time before being admitted, things most mothers-to-be would be prioritizing less than dealing with contractions and a baby that wanted out. Now...
Lloyd sensed too late, that something was not quite how it should be, when a smiling Helen returned to the table and simply sat smoking a cigarette without saying a word for several minutes, pulling her chair a little further back with her legs crossed and just studying him with a contented expression. He wanted to ask her what was happening, but somehow he...
Casey Ellison peeked through the open door as his wife of six months packed her belongings. He felt bad about her leaving, even though he was in the right. Sometimes being right wasn’t all it was stacked up to be. The situation was impossible for him to live with. His wife was in love with another man. It was with her mind. He knew when they made love, she...
The Paul & Jenny Stories Pt. 16l: Spanish Honeymoon Part 12 My mouth felt awful. I stuck out my tongue and studied it in the mirror above the sink in the bathroom. Jenny was in the shower and I had just finished shaving. My mouth hadn't felt like this since the time that Howie had had us smoking some of his 'wacky-baccy' when we had first visited the Carib...
Hanna was having a restless night. It was absolutely dumping buckets of rain outside, her headache was just now going away at one o'clock in the morning, the ghost of her dead friend had warned her that she would be visited by three spirits over the course of the evening, and now some idiot was shining a light in her eyes. She sat up and blinked groggily, h...
It was a typical Monday morning, or so I thought. I was at my desk at about 9:30 when my boss walked over and said she needed to see me in her office immediately. She quickly turned and headed back toward her office. I had kind of a thing for my boss since she had joined the company a few months ago. She really wasn't what most guys would consider "hot". Sh...
