This fantasy story is based very loosely on the comic "Sophie's Curious Perversions" by Von Gotha. That story took place in 1958 London. This one takes place in 2002, in Portland, Oregon. Chapter 1: Sophie's 18th Birthday Hi. I'm Sophie Anderson. I live in Portland, Oregon and I am a senior at Pacific Academy. It's a private school. One of those where we a...
A Story by XXscribbler Preliminary note to my readers: this is an old story, written very early in my career, and stowed away for years. I'm not really happy with it - the tale seems (now) a bit heavy in the last half. But it is FUN in its own way. Here it is for what it's worth. Cheers!

"Boom" chapter archive (from part 21) Part 21 Nat was walking with an associate of his brother Nick's named Rudy, a gang member but like almost all of them a nice guy one-on-one- that is, if you were on his good side and he didn't want to kill you.

Jordan's wooden chair creaked as he turned to the kitchen window behind him, above the sink. The curtains danced in the spring bre...
Meeting Sweet Molee Molee stepped out of the shower and onto the tiled floor of the bathroom of the Holiday Inn in Portland Oregon. She was currently standing 14 floors above the busy streets below. She was naked and wet and she was smiling at herself through the steam streaks of the mirror. She stared at herself with critical eyes. No one would mistake h...
The chapters unfold in a sequence of true events from 1966-2005. (Chapter 9) "If Only" (circa-1973-1975) The forty-five minute drive to the seaside village of Newton-by-the-Sea council offices each day wasn't something he looked forward to, but the increase in salary and the positive signs for promotion far outweighed the negatives, so the decision to ac...
Finishing a job late on a Friday afternoon is not good, especially during the summer. The roads are crowded with people getting an early start to their weekend plans. Most of them are in a big hurry and not in a good frame of mind. I particularly hate it when I'm over three hundred miles from home, as the case today. I do have several options as to routes....
So a while back I moved into the spare bedroom at a two story condo owned by a couple that I am good friends with, Stacy and Dave. Their place was pretty cool and only two blocks away from the beach, pier, and bars. I had been very good friends with Stacy for the last couple of years and friends with Dave since he started dating Stacy seven months ago. At...
