“The bloody shit, leaving me like that!” A passing couple looked at me, startled. I realised I had spoken my thought aloud. I was walking my terrier along the river path and for the millionth time was contemplating the ruins of my marriage. It was only the day before that the divorce had become absolute, and Vic was now free to marry his slut. There are t...
It all started with a call from my old service buddy Brian. "Hey, Manny, we're having a beach party in three weeks at John's house. We want to have one last get together before Allison gets too big to go out."

All sex is between two consenting and willing adults over 18 years of age. The story is written in third-person past-tense with limited perspective switching perspectives. This s...
He was a nobody by anyone's standards. Tall and yet still overweight, he was the butt of many crude jokes, but he never cared. He always brushed people off with little concern for the petty snipes and jokes.

Emma locker her bedroom door. She could feel the tears running down her cheeks already. She slowly sank to the floor of her dim lit room; one hand still on the knob. Sob after sob escaped past the hand she pressed over her mouth. Even now, at the rock bottom of her humiliation, Emma couldn't risk letting her family know how she felt. This had been the worst...
