As a recap: Our narrator is Dennis, a three-times-a-month regular to forty-ish prostitute Gloria, who works out of the renovated garage of her house. When he accidentally met Glo...

I didn't want to go back home for Thanksgiving. It was always such a pain in the ass. But I hadn't seen my family in about a year, so I made the 6-hour drive on Wednesday so I could eat some turkey with everyone the next evening. Once I made it to Mom and Dad's I hung out there for awhile, but I was ready for a drink. No doubt about where I was going, as m...
This is a very random perverted Thanksgiving story. The idea came from a mashup of playing Fallout Shelter and seeing the Thanksgiving decorations around my office. Being Horny is a pretty effective creative catalyst. Enjoy! *** I had left the house on foot around 11 for a late breakfast, if you can call Starbucks breakfast. I'm not a coffee drinker and ha...
"Hey Matt, what's up?" Teddy's voice was cheery. There was noise in the background, his girls were arguing over something, his wife yelling at them to figure it out. "Just calling to say happy birthday, to my favorite brother," I said, tossing my backpack onto the chair in my small bedroom. I opened the window, letting the salty humid air waft in. "I'm you...

He did not want to remain in Santa Cruz, but Ruthie could tell that he...
A short story from a long weekend It was Friday morning after a busy Thursday Thanksgiving. We were planning on simply relaxing at home for the day. Of course, hubby can't sit still for long and he was wandering around with a screwdriver and some WD-40, doing pre-winter maintenance. I was in the study, tapping away at the computer and chatting with one of...
We've all been part of those conversations where the question is asked, "So what country did your ancestors come from?" Of course we are supposed to say they are from Kenya or Germany, perhaps India or Mexico. The truth is I don't know. I have a wandering spirit that I suspect I got from my ancestors. So I see my past rooted in a handsome man from Spain, a p...

It had been about a year since I had been home, I am in the service and in my position didn't get much leave time, so was looking forward to some home time. Every boy misses his mom, even those g...
