After serving two years in the Navy as a Corpsman aboard the USS Haven, stationed in Long Beach, California, I was given orders to report to Field Medical School at Camp Pendleton, California for training as a Combat Medic to be assigned to a rifle company with the US Marine Corps. I couldn't believe it! I had signed up to be a Navy Corpsman and without any...
Music wafted through the warm spring air like ribbons of sound, reaching my ears in jumps and starts as I went to answer the phone. "...Don't open 'till doomsday, destruction's not far away..." It was the Misfits, playing through my crappy two dollar speakers at the other end of the house. When I reached the phone it had already rung six times. I was really...
First story so please, send feedback! Also this chapter is slower, but it will get better later on! ~ I was already special when I was born. I didn't have any special abilities or skills or anything like that. Simply because I was born as a man. At the year 2080 there was the Event, the way we call it now. A mutant attacked our planet. A bacterium that cou...
This was inspired after I watched The Hunger Games. Plot summary: a group of us stuck in the woods try to outwit a bloodthirsty maniac that no one knew had escaped from a mental hospital, not even the prison guards or cops. I know it's not original. Think Predator with a Friday the 13th feel to it. All characters are based on people in my life but with diffe...
When you're the only daughter of a powerful and old-fashioned family, they tend to be a bit overprotective. As much as a family can love its precious daughter, they must understand that someday, she'll have to flap her wings and fly away. That's the way of nature, and of the mundane world. I wish my parents understood that. My name is Nasira "Nana" Boubacar...
Author's Preface This short story references the COVID19 global pandemic virus of 2020. The characters are fictional but hopefully represent a lighthearted response for dealing with the difficulties of the societal changes which began to occur. Enjoy... ***** Max came home from work two hours earlier than usual. It was Friday at about three o'clock. Car...
CHAPTER 2 JAKE I heard a sound, a sharp twang, and saw sand fly up from just in front of my feet. I stared down at the arrow sticking out of the sand with a shiver of dread creeping down my spine. I spun quickly to see who had initiated the attack and there was nothing. Just empty woods. I quickly ducked back into my tent, throwing the scanner onto the bed...
Passion makes the world go around. Let no one tell you otherwise. Think about it. Men and women spend billions of dollars a year on cosmetics, hair treatment, plastic surgery and toiletries. Everyone wants to look attractive to whoever might be looking. Male and female, black and white, straight and gay, rich and poor. We all do it. It's as essential to us a...
Like most everyone here who submits stories, I'm groping for the perfect way to depict sex scenes. Here and elsewhere, some have questioned the way I write some scenes, sex scenes in particular. To some the style seems overly poetic and ethereal, though the most common adjective is "flowery." There is a reason for this choice. The typical approach to sex sc...
The third day of our 30-day reality TV survival program had a few surprises for Celeste, Sam and me, Naomi. The first was the arrival of the producer, Fred and program psychologist, Julia at our camp, and the second was Julia's massive orgasm. She must have been without sex for a long time. We had to decide on the fate of our captives. Celeste turned to me...
