PART III The sound of the rain woke her up, and for a minute she was disorientated. There was someone else in the bed with her. She lay there and ran back over the night before. She would have to apologize to this guy, who ever he was, and make clear that this was not a regular thing, despite the sex having been really, really good. Trying not to rouse him...
"Jamesy Amstel Light." I said as I sat down in the bar stool. As the bottle appear before me I take a look around the bar. Normal Thursday after work crowd. Usually I don't go to the bar right after work but Mel had said she needed a big favor during lunch and that she would tell it to me here. As an executive assistant she usually worked an hour o...
I wake up. Slowly rising from the bed, I put my hands to my skull tenderly, feeling as though I’ve gone a few rounds with a jackhammer in a head butting contest. That’s weird, I think to myself. I didn’t have anything to drink last night. Ambling along at an old mans pace, I shuffle into the kitchen to get some coffee brewing. The place is pretty clean, I’m...
According the United States Government, there is one birth every 8 seconds in the USA (http://www.census.gov). That's about 11,250 births per day. So that is 11,250 couples having sex today, excluding couples where one partner or the other is sterile. Excluding all gay or lesbian couples, oral or anal sex acts, bestiality or other activities where there is...
One afternoon, Nicholas Notts was reading a book on Roman history at his desk. He closed the book and looked out his bedroom window. He often took forlorn glances out his window, wanting to explore the world and get away from his controlling parents. His parents mean well, but they have meticulously controlled his life since birth. Since a very young age, Ni...
Devilbliss was put to bed in a small cell. The plastic covered mattress crimpled underneath her naked body as she turned over. She was thinking about so many things. Would she ever see Fern again? What will happen to her now? Why was she in this cell? She drifted restlessly in and out of sleep. The door opened and light seeped in. The light found Devilbliss'...
The hum of the air conditioner the only sound breaching my thoughts. I lay, naked in bed. The usual type of hotel room with the usual type of hotel bed, sterile and very impersonal. White sheets, white bedspread. Tan carpets. A painting of flowers on one wall, the other a forest scene. I swear the chains buy them in bulk, I've never seen them before but the...
The walk to the farm was not as difficult as I had feared. The road was dusty and pitted with wagon tracks, but the fields and orchards that lay on either side of it were at the height of the growing season and breathtakingly beautiful. Erich strode confidently beside me, all the while describing his memories of the little house that would soon be our home....
"Ultimate control, Mr. Black. Is that what you wish me to have? Mr. Black..." "Mr. Black!" the receptionist calls out to him once again, but with a slightly higher tone, tinged with irritation. He comes out of his reverie and closes the magazine he has had open for several minutes. He cannot even remember what article he was looking at. His fantasy had gat...
In ancient times, a horrific virus spread over the world bringing death and suffering with it. The surviving population became carriers of the virus, passing it onto their children. While most were immune to the more horrific aspects of the virus that caused the death of its host, the virus brought significant change to those born with it. Child mortality ra...
