The hour was late when Jessie had left Danny sleeping in her bed and started to drive around town. She needed someplace to think through the whole complicated situation between her and Danny. Intuition told her that she was holding all the cards. She knew whatever she ultimately decided Danny would bow to her wishes. Without realizing it, she found herself...
Daniel couldn't imagine why his father had called him home, and the cryptic message only confused him more. Life-sized dolls and training for the King. He sighed and wondered whether his father was losing his mind; as far as he could tell, there was no history of it in their family. But then, they had to start somewhere, didn't they? He drew back the carriag...
Totally unexpectedly, I came home to find my old girlfriend and my new girlfriend together. Kerry was brown, sultry, skinny, and sharp featured, and Kim was pale, blue-eyed, and full-bodied with deliciously thick lips. They were seated cross-legged on the floor, smoking reefer, and seemed high enough to have been at it for awhile. When I said, "I guess you...
Jason hated this. His favourite pub was being taken over by the screaming crowd. It had started a few months ago, a few young guys in throwback Nordiques sweaters and then the short skirt crowd started showing up. Not that he minded the short skirts. Tonight there was a group of young women acting very bubbly at a corner table. They would raise up to a j...
Some weeks ago I wrote a story called "Superstitious Me? Of Course." The public comments were varied, some very positive, and some again negative. One anonymous reader wrote: quote: This story was interesting but very unoriginal. The husband coming home unexpectedly and catching his wife in bed with another man has been done to death. On top of that you ad...
Val frowned. "Why privacy? You think I'm going to get in the way? I want in as much as you do." "Because you might balk at this. Normally, I'd balk at this. And for me to say that means that essentially, you don't want to even guess at what I plan." answered Zeke. "Why do I have the feeling that I'm going to regret this?" "Because you're an intelligent fe...
Auden shook hands with his manager. "It was a great crowd tonight, Auden." Hal said. "Remember, you have to meet with Tusselbaum for the scoring tomorrow. You have composed-" "Yes, of course. Don't worry about it, Hal." Auden was thrilled to be doing the music for an actual movie. He enjoyed his work with the Buttermilk Falls Philharmonic and the CDs he'd...
I woke to the sound of Blue barking on the front porch as he always does. He has an ongoing feud with a riverboat that makes its way up the river every other day. The sun was just rising and shown in the windows. The home was quiet as always other than blue. I called him and he came into the bedroom and put his big head on the bed and looked at me with his b...
"Sure looks like 24 carrot gold" the little fat sweaty man declared, squinting at the long solid chain and the large heavy pendant dangling from it, in his hands. "Of course it is. I told you it was. How much for it?" Alessandra demanded, staring down at the disgusting thief, who called himself a pawn shop owner. "Well, I guess I could give you 150 bucks,...
*Standing disclaimer: This story is about the smoking fetish. If that's not your thing, you won't enjoy it. Please don't bother leaving a comment about how bad or awful or disgusting smoking is as it won't change a thing. We all die, right? If people choose to smoke, that's their business. ********* "Are you serious?" "As a heart attack. But here's the de...
