Leila woke up to another uneasy morning; alarm clock ringing, feeling very hot and moist even though its autumn and dry cooler weather is rolling in, it did not help that her dying fan isn't providing the amount of comfort she needs. Leila turned over to the left and slammed her right palm on the alarm clock, pushing down so hard it almost fell off her desk....
It was the summer after I graduated from high school; I was eighteen at the time. I was dating the guy who was to eventually become my first husband. He was two years older than I. We both worked day jobs and saw each other most evenings. We both worked about 5 minutes from a large county park. In nice weather, when our lunch hours coincided, we used to mee...
"When I awoke the next morning, I was disoriented. The sun was coming in the wrong window and my bed felt different. Opening my eyes, I looked around the hotel room. Marie was sitting on her bed reading some papers dressed once again in that same brown tweed suit. It was then that the day before came back to me and I choked back a sob. Marie must have hear...
I live on a farm; in fact I was born here as were several generations before me. Just because of the sizes of ours' and our neighbor's farms, we live out in the middle of nowhere. We see other people sometimes and go to town which is a couple of hours away, but our lives revolve around family since we spend most of the time together working the farm. As a yo...
The farm had a wall. That was odd. The fields or whatever were hidden behind a high wall in back of what must have been the administrative building: this was clearly bigger than a family operation. I had no real experience with farm life, but this was where I'd be for a couple years - hopefully they didn't work us too hard. I was eighteen and had a promisi...
The capacity for self delusion and denial in the human mind is surprising. It took what most would say was pretty damning evidence before I even became suspicious that my wife was up to something. Even then, I couldn’t bring myself to really think that something illicit was going on. Surely there was a reasonable explanation for everything. Then, when I ha...
The sensation of her holding him close was still on his mind when he woke up the next day. Just the memory alone made him feel warm in the cool morning air. That, and the recognition that she trusted him to touch her. He rose and stretched out his arms above his head. He'd been so starved for her touch. Now he only wanted more. Can the afternoon please hurr...
I awoke to a rocking sensation, something was pressing hard onto my chest and moving. I slowly opened my eyes and Leah's beautiful face came into focus, her eyes closed and her lips pursed. She was slowly moving back and forth, her hands gripping my shoulders, her cheek resting on my chest. My eyes then looked past her messy brown hair and down her body reve...
And so it ends :-) WorldHistoryBuff you have been amazing! I can never thank you enough for all your time and hard work editing for me this year. Special mention to my friends from the Guild too. Without you all, I would never have sharpened and honed each chapter to make them so much better than my first draft. Not forgetting my Tweeters! You guys ROCK!...
Author's note: This story is very outlandish and is not for everyone. I'd strongly suggest new readers check out "All the Power - A Bit of Background," which contains some important context for what is happening here, as well as explanations for some of the more outlandish/unbelievable aspects of the story. It is very short, so it won't take up much of your...
