"So the plan I think, is we'll hit up some parties on campus and see if we can find anyone." I sighed. "Yeah, I guess. If you still want to do this." "I mean, I'm not going to force you but you did agree to it already." "I'm not backing out. It's just freaking me out a little thinking about it." "Just relax babe. It's not that big of a deal. It's colleg...
A silver CL-600 Coupe Mercedes-Benz sliced through the inky darkness with the speed and silence of a stealth bomber. Under the hood sat a 5.5 liter V-12 twin-turbo engine that threw out a whopping 493 horse power, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. Its retail value is estimated at being in the vicinity of $128,000, making it a car n...
"Remember class, keep this professional!" Silvia chanted to her students in the van. "This is an obscure collection belonging to an old fellow who really belongs to a different time and culture so be respectful! I have never formally met this person only contacting through mail. These works are more *ahem* explicit and exotic. Keep this professional!" Gret...
"There it is..." His voice seemed to come from a far off place. Falls's eyes took in the sight before her. A castle stood strong and sure; a village, much like those she'd seen on the History Channel, or stared at in books, bustled with activity. Flags bearing some sort of Coat of Arms flew in the wind. "Where the fuck am I?" she whispered. She wiped her e...
This story was originally going to be called "Role-Playing Games", or "Gamers 2", but I was afraid that people might misunderstand. It's about a different type of gamer... Once again, this tale begins in the distant past, before the internet and smartphones, and when arthroscopic knee surgery was in its infancy. If you're familiar with my stories, then you...
All characters are at least eighteen years of age. It was one of those late April days that act like a dress rehearsal for summer. The unusually high temperatures drove throngs of people to the southern California beach. Whole families looked like modern nomads, lugging coolers, easy up tents, and all implements required for beach fun, setting up camp alo...
I opened my eyes slowly and cursed at the thumping coming from my head and the light hurting my eyes. I looked over at the red digital clock, with the green fluorescent writing that burned my eyes. Being awake earlier than two, now that was a surprise. I tried to sit up but gave up as I realised, my hangover was just too bad. I sometimes wondered why I did...
I was so high the other night- so high. I swear my vision turned inward and I could see the big picture. You know, the entire landscape that everyone seems to miss out on when they look at the world. I could swear that it all made sense when you just squinted your eyes a little. It was like the world was this big clustered joke, and we were all just swimming...
Pork dumplings are Elizabeth's favorite food. Dr. Charles Waxman, her Algebra professor, knows this because Lizzy brought a warm dish of potstickers from Hunan Palace to class on Thursday. "They're my favorite," she whispered to the Russian exchange student in the adjacent row. Dr. Waxman lectured for an hour and a half and turned toward the class to watc...
It was fucking cold. The wind whipped around the city mercilessly, snatching foliage from vulnerable trees and leaving garbage cans scattered in its wake. Fall came abruptly this year in Philadelphia. Only last week the temperature had been in the sixties, allowing the city's residents the option to go sleeveless. Now everyone wore jackets, whether they like...
