Sleep would just not come. She lay in her bed staring at the ceiling. Occasionally, lights from a passing car on her small suburban street would illuminate the interior of her room, the ghostly light passing from just above the window to the space above her head, only to disappear as the car passed the house below. If she had a mechanical clock, such as t...
"Hi honey, how was your day?" My mom called out her usual question as I came in through the side door, and tried to quit sniffling. In vain -- I still had the hiccups from my recent crying jag, and my nose was running. I'm sure my face was red too. "F-fine," I hiccuped. Obviously, it hadn't been fine. "Oh, hon, did those boys tease you again? They're so ru...
Barnes & Noble Here's what I'd like to have happen some day at the bookstore… I was a little tired after the long drive home and decided to stop off at B&N for a coffee and to stretch my legs. It was a bit on the cool side, I walked in quickly and went to the bathroom. Every time I went in there I thought of how nice that handicapped stall would be for a q...
Rick popped a tin of tuna, slathered mayo on white and heaped potato chips on a paper plate. Tucking a Wall Street Journal under his shoulder, he carried his sandwich and diet soda to the sofa. He ate in front of the TV, checking cable news for updates on his stocks. Sometimes, he would fall asleep during prime time but tonight Rick was anxious. Tax seaso...
This is a true story. It did not happen to me, though I narrate the tale; I have tweaked genders and family facts and other pertinent information to obscure its origin, though I believe if the subjects described were to read this writing, they would recognize themselves quickly, if not immediately. I learned of these facts today, and they led me to write....
The summer had come and things were getting really tough, man. My name is Jackson, and I'm a black man living in Alabama. I've done every type of job from train driver to cab driver and truck driver. I've also been a cook and a street fighter. These days, I'm hustling, I guess. Acquiring cheap merchandise through illicit means and selling them at high prices...
I just love being a tease. Oh, and showing off. Sometimes, when I'm in the right mood, the two together can be such fun. Even the most boring and mundane of housework can be livened up with a naughty mind. Yesterday just happened to be one of those times... I've been putting it off since spring, so when I got up I decided that it was time to redecorate my b...
Next morning the flat was a hive of activity, as the three girls rushed around getting ready for work. Every time one of them came close to me, she would blush slightly and mumble a quick thank you. George mean while had grabbed his proper clothes and left hastily. I walked into Eleanor's room just as she was putting on her bra, walked up to her and said "...
Today it was clear that all the three of us thought about was how to try new toys. All started in the morning when girls wash all new one and also those that we brought with us. We put them on a club table in the living room. A really impressive collection of joy producing toys. It was interesting to see the difference between Jane's and Rosie's toys. Rosie...
"POLICE! SEARCH WARRANT!" Tommy swung the door smasher and the cheap portal exploded inward. As we filed in, weapons drawn, people screamed and tried to run. We shouted in return, ordering them down and pleased that most complied. Gunfire erupted in the back room and I rushed to help Brad, who was pinned down in the hallway. Jonas Adams, crack dealer and pu...
