I had been trying to write a Great American novel for years but had only succeed in writing an episodic tale of a town, an episodic tale of a singer, and a convoluted science fiction story. My agents found online publishers for each but not print publishers. My agents were a lesbian couple that would kindly be described as colorful. I described them as batt...
'I... uh, I don't understand how this could have happened so fast,' Selena thought to herself with an internal smile 'but I do like these results. I can only hope that if this spreads to the rest of my skin, then maybe I can hide it somehow. But I certainly don't want to stop it.' She was plunging all her fingers into herself now, while doing her best to be...
"Snakes and ladders?" Kim groaned. "Snakes and fucking ladders!?" "I'm sorry," replied Lucy. "It's all I could find." She stepped back into the room and placed the board game on the floor, sitting cross-legged beside it and taking the board and counters out of the box. Kim sighed and sat down beside her. "But it's such a boring game," she sighed. "Even i...
(Music at paragraph 13 is 'Hanging On' by Active Child.) "We have been able to 'reach an understanding' with him, First Director..." "And I see you wish to insert one of our 'illegals' too, alongside -" He leant forward and clasped his hands together on top of the desk. "One of our top foreign resident operatives." "Aah – we have a slight note of caution...
"I don't think my thighs have ever hurt this bad." I think to myself looking over my shoulder back at you, seeing you trying to handle the six year old steed. Leaning forward to stroke my beautiful mare's mane. "We are nearing the top," I holler back to you, the distance between us growing further, as the path gets narrow. "Be careful Love, the path up gets...
Love means gambling your freedom against the need to rescue the one you love. Patrick goes to liberate Rachel from Snake, whilst Tony, John and their friends storm down to the lab to set free the redheaded girl from the basement. Will they succeed? * Davy banged his fist on the wall that was between the inside of the van and the driver's cab where Danny s...
Taken from the transcript of recordings by psychiatrist Dr. Strukely at the Koczewye Mental Institute, name of subject witheld Father, I have sinned. I nearly wished I could say those words then. But I had not sinned. I remained untouched by the corruption and the devastation of the scenes that unfolded. I remained aloof, clean. Yet the very events of that...
Jackie took a deep breath and adjusted the pith helmet he wore and shook his head. "I do not know how I keep finding myself in these situations. Are you certain there is no other way we can come to an agreement?" He asked looking back over his shoulder. The blonde man in the green business suit shook his head. "This is the only way you will ever see your ob...
Dr. Perry Sussman re-read the final paragraph of his article one last time: “And so we see that the myth of Medusa, the gorgon goddess who turned men to stone, was created out of men’s sexual fears. The fear of castration, the fear of women’s sexual power, all summed up in the goddess with the hair pictured as phallic snakes being beheaded. The power and be...
Hairy stared at the woman incredulously. Either she was the dumbest woman Hairy had ever seen or the biggest prude. The male and female hippos were doing what male and female hippos do on a hot day during mating season.
