Author's Note: I'll level with you guys, I had completed this next part of the story before I even started on the Interlude. But as I looked back on the completed story I realized that there was a lot of places where I couldn't explain details without making long transitions away from the story and ultimately doing that would take away from the pacing. As I...
~Norm~ The truck rocked and creaked over the potholes of the old country road. Dust blew in through the open windows, but I kept them down. I kept my speed down too, to hear in case Tilly saw me and called out. There had been some small farms here, but many of the residents had moved away after the Rot began to devastate their land. The trees and bushes tha...
Recession Blues Original story: Stormbringer Follow up: RogueAlan ***** Chapter 5: Blue Plate Special "Hnnnn!" Ann was glad that A-Rod's cock was thrust snugly into her throat. She was dimly aware that there might still be people in the club, and without that, her cries as she came on Jacen's big cock might have betrayed what they were doing. She sucke...
Author's Notes: When I was ready to submit the final chapter, I had to reread the entire story (because it had been so long). As I did, I realized that the final chapter was just too...inadequate. Remember, I originally split up chapter three into two parts. By doing this though, I was able to see that the ending wasn't enough. I felt that this chapter dese...
As I've gotten older, I've realized that in my extended family, there have been 2 wives from hell and 1 husband from hell. These individuals were some distance away in time or location. In all three cases, the 'sane' spouse was part of or later joined my extended family. If there was a spouse from hell today, my responses would be very different. The gloves...

Fiona acquiesced to all this attention and wondered why he was not married. If Bob took care of all of the women he met like he was taking care of her, he would be a wonderful...
I was able to keep my emotions in check for the duration of my impromptu trip. I repeatedly told myself I was strong. But as soon as I stepped through the door at the end of the ramp at Philadelphia International Airport and I saw Malcolm, I was a blubbering mess. "Oh, Daphne," was all he said. Then, long-forgotten masculine arms wrapped around me, drawing...
Green sent a car to collect Tammy from the Meridian. It was, in his typical style, far too large and far too expensive for a lady of Tammy's age but nonetheless it made her feel special as she was driven to the masquerade ball. As she was arriving, she saw paparazzi and knew she had entered another world. Once inside she was assailed by the opulence of her...
This story plays fast and loose with Ancient History and Linguistics; be warned. 'Here be Dragons' wasn't always a tourist gimmick. Editing magic performed by KJ24 and Shyqash, plus contributions by the regular gang of brigands and neer-do-wells. There is a bit of mangling of the Iliad going on. I apologize to Homer and the countless singers before him wh...
