It's kind of funny how life turns out sometimes. You can be cruising along in your life thinking everything is great, and then life, or God, or Fate or whatever your belief system calls it, just decides to fuck with you. I was moving through life with the wind under my sails, when all of a sudden the wind just stopped blowing. While I waited for the next gus...
Brody held his saber tightly. He took comfort in the hum of his anti-projectile energy shield as he wiped the sweat from his face. In the microgravity, the droplets floated away, little undulating orbs for the atmosphere filter to deal with. 'Am I shaking?' he thought. 'I am. Shaking like a little child.' He realized it without shame. Every deep-space merc...
Thanks to techsan for his editing. * THE PARTY I didn't really want to go – I thought it would be more romantic to sit in my houseboat on Richardson Bay in Sausalito and do what loving, engaged couples do. You know, a quiet dinner, a suitable wine and a few hours of "sweet nothin's." But no, it wasn't meant to be. I could see right away by the way...
Background: Please read the first installment titled Faith, Friendship, and Passion before reading Chapter 2. Chapter 2 will have a lot more meaning if you do! Courtesy Notice: After some rather strong reactions to Chapter 1, I feel compelled to advise everyone that this story is about two married people being unfaithful. If you have a strong aversion to th...
Ana descended the stairs and went into the bathroom, taking another quick shower. Miles suggested that they shower apart – he said he was afraid that they'd never leave if they took another shower together. Ana carried her clothes down, the green gauze dress and dark green lace bra and underpants. After she was done in the shower, she found a hairdryer on th...
Inside Gillette Stadium we found our seats pretty easily. We brought jackets and three blankets in case we got cold. When we first sat down we sat Diane, Jose', Almond, Kasumi, me and then Ann. Someone watching would have seen that at the end of the first quarter the ladies changed seats and it became Almond, Jose', Kasumi, Ann, me and Diane. During half-tim...
Chapter 1 After a long day of looking, Victor felt disgusted. He had searched all day with his driver to no avail. They had checked every campus, every popular coffee place and even went down the red light district and found nothing. Victor wanted a coffee before retiring to his penthouse. He walked into his friend Guido's place called Old Town Brewery. Tha...
With Ann on her way home, it was time for me to get ready for my 'big date' with...Ann. I really didn't have any plans, per se, but I had some vague ideas of what might be fun. As I mulled them over, I went about cleaning up the evidence. First and foremost, I had to put the camera back in my parents' closet. Placing it back in the box, I carefully put it ba...
Fraulein Dietz was inconsolable for days about the fire that had gutted the library, but no look of suspicion settled on Willie Froehlich. The cause was clear, she said. The electrical wiring in the building had not been renewed since it was installed at the turn of the century, and it was just one more reason why it was so important to have everything at Ra...
I had completed the chore I'd volunteered to do for my sister Carol. I'd driven her car up from Houston, Texas to her in Nashville, Tennessee where she'd been asked to report as soon as possible to accept a new job and promotion in her company. The promotion had been so important to her career she'd flown up immediately to accept it. I'd driven her car up at...
