It was just turning that preternatural gray that heralds the coming of morning. Clare rolled over in the wide sleigh bed and stretched. Sean was NOT in bed. Where on earth could he be? it was their seventh wedding anniversary - New Year's Eve. That it was a Saturday was a double bonus, since it meant neither one had to make up an excuse for not going to work...
Hello, my name is Collette. Let me tell you about an acquaintance of mine named Irene. Irene was twenty eight when I first met her and she had just stepped away from a disastrous marriage before she had any children, fortunately for her. Irene loved the beach, and was one lucky girl who had a flawless olive complexion. She wasn't a beauty queen, but her comp...
Diane nervously watched the screen as she danced, waiting for her turn. She wasn't sure she really wanted to do this. But it was her birthday, and it was her habit to always give gifts to others on her birthday. Donations to charity, a car to her niece, books and games to the state prison. This would be no different, she told herself. There were needy people...
"I masturbate a lot." "I want to watch." * The day turned out to be nothing like I would have expected. I was never supposed to have met her, let alone talk to her. But we talked. Candidly. Some would say that such openness in a conversation will only occur between people who know each other inside and out. The intimate relationship that spins from a life...
Twenty-Eight years old and she was already an executive of a leading brokerage firm. She ruled the 27th floor of the Edward-Harkins building with an iron fist. She worked her employees hard, she required them to work overtime and on the weekends. If anyone crossed her in the slightest, they would be fired. She gave rewards to employees that ratted others out...
They say you can pick your friends, not your relatives. The same sort of thing applies to neighbours. They move in next door and you're stuck with them. I've had some very good neighbours over the years, some so-so, and some not so good. My current neighbour is one of the not so good. There're two women there. There's Sandra, about forty, who dresses and a...
"Wakey wakey sleepy-head." I hear as I wipe the sleep from my eyes. "Did you sleep well honey?" "Yes thanks Sophie. I always sleep well when it's by your side." "Aww. I do too. We should be getting along. It's 8am, and we have a meeting to attend to." Like a puppet on strings, jumping to Sophie's command, I promptly swung my legs out of bed - I know how...
Part 1: Entwinement The rain pressed all around like a great, solid curtain, blurring the world around her. Her lithe hooves fought for traction as she scaled a tree. A bestial grunt of defiance hissed from her nostrils in a steamy haze. She took temporary refuge underneath a great bough, nearly as wide as a road. The rain just below pooled on the other bra...
-This is to be the first chapter of a series, so I apologize for the slowish introduction, I had to set the scene- ~The Scrawler~ When is life ever fair? Tom thought to himself sullenly, pretending to listen to the history lecture. When he had been young, his mother had told him to be patient, that good things come to those who wait. Tom wasn't sure he b...
Friday evening. I had arranged to go out with the boys for a few drinks after work. Usually these outings, being few and far between, are anticipated greatly. This particular evening, however, while starting off well, was fading fast for me. It had been a long week at work, and my batteries were running low. This feeling was exacerbated by the martinis I was...
