"I don't know how you can work down here and not get turned on by these things," Donna exclaimed, running her hand across the taut, marble buttocks of the nearest piece. "You realize they're just statues, don't you, Don?" Julie chuckled, pushing her friend's hand from their newest perch. "How many times do I have to tell you not to touch them?" "Sorry, Jul...
This is the third part of 7 installments. Unfortunately, I wrote and posted Part 2 more than two years ago so I apologize for the long hiatus. This installment slows down the action a bit to allow for some character expansion and plot development. Hopefully, we'll all find it worthwhile as Scott's journey moves on. It's been awhile so to refresh your memori...
Raising the Dead, in Spite of the Natural Order: A Cautionary Tale Chapter 8 "So. I didn't expect to see you getting to work already, Victoria," Iga asks, stepping up from behind me in the lab. She does not draw attention to how she has not been present thus far. "It's better to get to this sooner than later. Even with the process working as it does, fres...
"I have a son. He's going to come and get me someday. Maybe you'll be here when he does." The head of a man in a wheelchair nearby snapped up. In his day he'd written many a gangster movie script, and the phrase "get me someday" that the old movie star, Cassandra, had spoken to her visitor hit him a bit differently than perhaps it was meant. Suddenly he was...
"Are you sure you're ready?" Clark asked, but he was well aware that only one answer was coming. There was no changing her mind now. "I'm ready." came the reply from the next room over. The voice belonged to his cousin Kara, or as the media had recently dubbed her, Supergirl. "I was always ready. I think." "I'm sure you were." "I was. Definitely." Her vo...
Part 1 "I've caught one-hundred and twenty-six so far, how about you?" Naomi said to Becky as they approached the gates. Beyond them, you could see hundreds of people gathering, anxiously waiting outside the convention doors to be let in for the festivities. "One-hundred and twenty-eight," Becky said with a shit eating grin, "I caught Charizard this morni...
She woke up one morning and the first thing she noticed was that the feeling of change which she had had inside of her for so long was gone. She got up and walked to the full-length mirror on the closet door, stripping off the sweatshirt she wore to bed as she went. Some time ago, she had stopped looking at any reflection of herself (other than the top of he...
The stars had finally aligned – or so Liam hoped. Oh, it wasn't like he and Liz didn't have a decent sex life, but what he craved was something a little more.....well, more! She was the love of his life, his best friend, lover, confidant, insert whatever cliché you want here – she was it. But, after 22 years together – 16 of them married and with a very act...
Ahhhhh. It's good to be back. Nice vacation in Hawaii with Ronda, but I'm an agent, best in the damn biz. LA LA Land is my home... my jungle, and I'm the king of it. "TIMMY... GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!" I yell for my young assistant Timmy. He's annoying sometimes and gets in the way here and there, but... Yeah, he's a pain. Timmy runs into my office. "Yes sir?"...
"You're angsting again," Chloe said. Years—decades now—spent as Clark Kent's best friend had given her a sixth sense for angst. She could look at her fiancé, just lying in bed with his hands behind his head, maybe thinking about his fantasy football league or the lyrics to a Kylie Minogue song or how silly putty picked up newspaper comics—and nope, she knew...
