Zarek was still asleep when Sarielle got up on Saturday. Her father always slept late on worship days, treating them as a day off. But the goats had to be milked every day, so Sarielle never got the same privilege. One hand on the stove door, she went to reach into the wood basket and found it empty. Her father must have put on the last of the logs and not...

They walk hand in hand through the narrow paths of the park. His hand venturing down her back, running over the curves of her ass. She slides her arms around his neck and whispers in his ear. "Lets find a place, and do it right here. I cant wait any longer. I need you now." He turns to her with a wicked smile on his face. He pulls her down a path that seems...
Without question, if my parents were to ever see me voluntarily in such a painful and compromising situation, they would first kill my Master, then kill me. Despite the eleven inches of snow covering the mountainside, i wore only my black thigh-high laced-up boots and my collar. The moon was full and very bright on the absolutely-clear night, reflecting ni...
"Can I help you Dad?" "Sure! Can you untangle the end there?" I was standing on the ladder, only beginning to put the Christmas lights on the tree, just as I had for the last twenty-two years. Oh! I thought to myself; make that the last twenty-one years. Rick hadn't been born yet that first Christmas, and that first Christmas we didn't have any lights. B...

Once again, any remaining errors or problems are my responsibility. * The bone-white clouds hung in the sky: moist, cold and seemingly eternal. Alarmed at his turn of thought, Paul rubbed his eyes and forced his imagination elsewhere. The breeze coming off the small lake was too weak...
It was Christmas Eve morning, and the plant was closed, so Brianna and Ken were home for the holiday. Brianna had not been feeling very well lately, and a gut feeling told her to go buy a pregnancy test. Ken was still in the bed asleep, and she did not want to disturb him, so Brianna quietly slipped out of the house and drove to the local pharmacy and bought...
Dahlia looked on with mounting dread as the first snowflakes of the evening drifted down from the heavens. As she peered through the frozen pane a worrisome frown drew in her cheeks and bunched wrinkles into her forehead, adding years to a face that was so much younger. There was a small piece of her that wanted the snow, but it lay sleeping in her memory....
The crew arrived early surprising Marian who had been sipping coffee and reading the paper in her back yard. Mr. Arcon, her neighbor, had mentioned he hired a crew to trim the large tree at the edge of his yard, a tree that had shrouded much of Marian's back yard in shadow the last few years. With the huge tree she had been confined to just a small corner of...
The nymph led the way back up the bank and started on a path parallel to the stream. Her pace was quick, her face excited. She urged Sarielle along with an insistent tug on her hand. "She feels strong. I-I think she might be awake." They came to an outcrop of rocks where a cliff dropped about three feet and the creek tumbled in a miniature waterfall. In a...
