It was a muggy afternoon late last summer, I'd struggled down the street to the launderette to escape the oppressive heat in my apartment. I was sat on a bench under the ancient struggling aircon unit sipping a coke when I heard it, what every inhabitant of the city had been praying for all week: the first rumble of thunder of a storm to clear the air. I mov...
It was a very hot and muggy day in my home town. I was going to watch our towns pride and joy, our local semi-pro baseball team play a game against their biggest rivals. Our team, the Wildcats were good. They were very good. A couple of the players were on Division 1 college baseball teams. One of them was a minor league prospect for San Diego. As a cute h...
“Can you believe it everyone? To think we’ve never actually explored the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter FULLY until now.” Called out Reed to the others as he floated between a pair of rocks the size of beachballs in his space suit. The Fantastic Four had some time off, and Reed had decided out on a whim to explore the asteroid belt in their solar sys...
“It’s all over, Tech!” Batman declared. He glanced to his right and saw Commissioner Gordon fleeing the Mad Hatter’s warehouse lair with the Mayor’s daughter, Catherine, in tow.

I knew going on this ski trip was a bad idea when the bus refused to start. My parents had bought me the holiday package as part of their Christmas present, but it was showing every sign of turning into the Ski Trip From Hell. Here I was, stuck in an old Greyhound on the top of the Coquihalla Highway with a busload full of drunks. Night was falling, it was s...
Sue and I had worked together and were friends because I was married, happily so, or so I thought. Sue had quit her job earlier, the year before my wife and I separated. She had moved to a small town, north of where I lived and started her own business. I hadn't seen her in nearly two years. After my separation, I went back to haunting the local bars. One M...
“The back door is unlocked, Robert. I’ll wait for you here.” It was five minutes before Sue heard a tapping on the bathroom door. “Come in,” said Sue. The door to the bathroom clicked open. Sue heard the patter of bare feet on the floor. She did not look. Excitement filled her. She felt the tingle of anticipation. Her hand went between her thighs. She fel...
