The rain is pattering softly on the window pane, I watch it as the droplets run down the window. The street lights are on beyond but my thoughts are lost in the maze that the drops create, much like what is going on in my mind. At any moment the door will open and a man will walk through it and come straight in and claim me. I watch another drop quickly runs...
Chapter 2: Singled Out [The following is the second part in a series of excerpts from an interview with Jenny McCarthy. These segments were never published anywhere, and are being revealed here for the first time.] So, my time at Playboy ended after I had been Playmate of the Year. A lot of people hope Playboy will be their big break, and it sure was for...
Tom was not having a good day. Things at work had reached a boiling point, and although he hadn't meant to, he had lost his temper yet again. His co-worker's feelings were hurt and he felt like a jerk. His mind kept spinning on the following three questions, "Why does he do this? Why can't he just control his temper like his does everything else in his life?...
Karen, Kathy, and I are smoking bong after bong of my best Thai stick as we celebrate her new apartment, only a block from campus. We are drinking Black Russians, and getting into an argument. It is heated, passionate, and ultimately futile, I think. "Men have no respect for women! They don't even remember us the day after they make love to us!" Karen seeth...
I looked up longingly at my house as the cab dumped me out in front. It had been a long fucking day. I had been gone much longer than I had wanted to, extra meetings, that stupid storm that clogged all the flights going through the midwest. I spent most of the time at the lounge writing up the report for the client and trying to put out some of the fires tha...
"I don't understand why you have to be such a tool about this, Pearson." Tatum said dismissively, as she checked her lipstick in the big mirror. "I mean, I love it that your mom invited me to come to the Hamptons, this cottage is great. It's nice, the weather is good, but you're so controlling." Tatum toyed with an ash blonde curl as it swirled about her n...

All characters depicted in this story are 18 years old or older. * Mindy couldn't help it. Ever since she was a little gi...

Out of college, one thing I did not ever have fun doing was working a fulltime job. While I have enjoyed my career as a writer, the stresses of it being a job are sometimes too much for me to deal with as I write with the spark of emotion and not by demand like I sometimes have to. Graduating college, I went completely against my degree field and became a bl...
"Thank you Mrs. Griffin, have a great night." I said as I finished checking out another lonely housewife at Safeway. I was bored, I was beyond bored. Two and a half years I've worked here, doing the same thing, checking people out through the check stand, dealing with same bullshit I hear from every single one of them every single night I work. "Working...
