Six-thirty blinked on Lauren's digital clock on the windowsill. For nearly ten bleary minutes, she'd been staring at the clock. -I start teaching school today.- It felt like an odd statement. Teaching had always come naturally to Lauren; deciphering information in multiple formats was easy. Though not an expert at the five-minute 'regurgitation' that was g...
Each day accelerated toward my leaving and my impending marriage. It was difficult to focus. Colter was my world now. In a whirlwind of one week he had become an integral part of my life. Of course, I have to be realistic and admit it didn’t happen in a week. It had been building for a long time between us; it just wasn’t until that last week that I was will...
The following is a true story, to the best of my 31-year memory of it. It is a good story, though not especially erotic, nor designed to be lurid. Rather, it is something I feel compelled to share with readers. Your comments/votes/personal contact are very welcome. THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC OR Not Just Another Case of Finally Talking Her Into It After Weeks of...
I will tell you my story, dear reader, if you happen to have six silver pennies to buy me a cup of Celean hippocras wine from up the hills of the Sipine way, for such is my custom when telling such stories, to think fondly of home and hearth and to keep my head in good wine. Nay, I'll tell it to you for free, but only this once, and only a tiny piece of the...
This is a story for all those guys out there who aren't necessarily losers but haven't been lucky as far as women. It happened to me when I was in high school. I was a senior at age 18. I had friends but I was never really close with a woman. All my friends were guys' buddies. And all my friends were also no good at getting woman. And the ones that did get w...
I. The Message Paul Norton sat in his dimly-lit room somewhere in the suburbs of Boston. He looked outside and saw a blizzard pounding the neighborhood. White-skinned and with blond hair, Paul suffered from an overactive intelligence which compelled him to notice things that other people did not. He disliked authority's instructions, and frequently called...

"Nice of you to show up, Lieutenant." The British ambassador said with an air of disgust. "Sorry,sir. It won't happen again, sir," Lt. Percival replied. He looked over at Capt. Roberts who rolled his eyes. "We do things a little different in the English military. Oh, well, we can continue." As the ambassador began the briefing, Percival nudge the officer...
Michael woke much earlier than he usually did. The sun wasn't even completely up yet and the sky was just beginning to lighten from the deep navy blue of pre-dawn. Something tickled his ear as he laid there, and caused him to jerk his head. Kari lay next to him snoring gently. Her mouth must have been right on his ear and tickled him awake. He tried to ext...
It's funny how you can go to school with someone, "never" see them, and then after a shared moment you seemingly see them everywhere. The next couple of weeks at school I felt like I ran into Taylor all the time: in the halls, in the office, in the parking lot, etc. I had absolutely no idea how to react around her...we had spent less than an hour together, a...
