Janet and Brad both worked at the same company. Both knew that they had reached their maximum position. They were what the executives called solid citizen employees. They knew their jobs well and performed them better than any new hire could. They even accepted the fact that they were in dead end positions, but were unwilling to seek out better employment. T...
It was a combination of things really. To start with I was walking through the garage in the basement of our building when these two ratbags on skateboards came zipping into the garage. One of them was quite adept in his handling of the board. The other was a complete clown. The clown came off his board, him going one way and his board the other. No proble...
Brief Backstory: The setting is a Middle America town in the late 1970's, and Lute, our hero, is a well-hung 18-year-old who's finishing high school, playing bass in a rock band, and spreading his own brand of goodwill among the local ladies. *** Lute had some preparations to make for his band's weekend gig at the nearby college. He needed to do some work...
This story happened about five years ago. My girlfriend and I were invited to a party with one of her coworkers. We had been together about two years. We were both in our early 30's. Our relationship was going okay. I think both of us were getting tired of being in the relationship but neither of us were ready to break up yet. My girlfriends name was Paige...
Working for yourself isn't as easy as people think, bills to pay, things to buy, meetings to set up, clients to please. It's a constant grind. The outcome of all of this is that each year you have to file your tax return. I've never been one for maths and I've always struggled with keeping the books up to date. I'd chatted with friends about it and they tol...
I walked into my room thinking that I had stayed on the beach longer than I should. A light dusting of sand was clinging to parts of my body courtesy of the sunblock, which I used liberally. I just arrived on a weeklong vacation on a Caribbean island. I opened the valve on the shower to the medium position and waited for the water to become slightly warm. I...
"Rise & shine, sleepy head," I heard my mom's voice call out. "You aren't going to sleep all summer, get your butt out of bed." Fuck, I thought, I should have just stayed at school for the summer. I was home for the summer break between my freshman & sophomore year of college. I had come home because I needed some down time, no classes, no homework, no proj...
"Are you sure?" he asked me tentatively. I was sure, sure of nothing else right now, but of course I also wasn't. He was a friend, a good one, but he was also with someone who I cared about, deeply. Someone who I'd known for a long time. She was beautiful, trusting and sensitive and I was terrified that by doing this so much might be destroyed. Still my...
The Pickup Game The clock had long past struck the witching hour, the dance floor was still popping with a few men and quite a few women. Some of them were topless, all of them were shameless. Mary and Adam toured their club. The window to the room that had the sex swing was open, a woman sat naked in it, her man for the moment was kneeling before her, li...
I left Phoenix profoundly changed. My time with Dr. Wilson taught me what true undying love and devotion was. Even after 25 years, he still longed for Sarah, loved her, and hoped for an eventual reunion. It was a depth of love I had never experience. Yes, I loved Steve and adored him. He was certainly perfect for me. I had pursued him and was able to capture...
