She was dancing like a dream, pouring out ectoplasm of ecstasy sweat, saliva and orgasmic squeals between her gaping breaths. Simon was in some even darker backroom, negotiating the price of a gram of smack. The lights of the main room were scattered across the ceiling, hobbling around like prejudiced junkies, a searchlight for something that wasn't there wh...
I had teased him and coaxed him for nearly two years before coming up with this plan. I wasn't sure if it would actually pan out, but it was always worth a shot. "I have a present for you," I mentioned one Tuesday afternoon while talking on the phone. "Oh yeah? What sort of present?" he asked, his voice trying its best to hide the excitement that dwelled w...
It had been one of those perfect days at the beach. Everyone had swam and surfed, laid in the sun, and enjoyed the cookout. The weather had been warm and sunny but not too hot. Now, everyone had packed up and left for home. I didn't mind cleaning up after these get togethers I hosted throughout the summer. I figured it was part of the package when you owned...
Night falls. A cool breeze ripples through my hair; it tumbles down my exposed back, brushing against my bound wrists. I don't know how long you will be, or what you will do with me when you arrive. Waiting is exquisite torture. The blindfold slips; I contemplate my surroundings. The air is heavy with the scent of musk, overripe fruit, hazy promise. You le...
It is said that as you grow older certain memories shine through the dense blur that is your life. As an elder, humans often reflect on the "What ifs." Not in regret, but in natural curiosity. Which is perfectly understandable, because what is life without the persistent enigma? And although I will never survey my life, pointing out my apparent flaws. I will...
His weight upon her body was an experience she hadn't felt for a long time. She wanted this moment to be a like a day. She wanted to see his eyes in passion. Right now she saw a mixture of embarrassment and a wicked glint of perhaps desire. "Well, Robert I didn't bring us here for this." Rachelle laughed musically. "Darn the luck. Perhaps I should get off...
Prologue Sighing, Alluna rested her chin upon her drawn up knees, her eyes going over the darkened interiors of her tower room. She hadn't opened the shutters of the tower room window unable to bear seeing another beautiful, sunny day. The tall grass in the field surrounding the tower was probably rolling and swaying in the breeze as well as the deep green...
Here is a little epilogue for those of you who read "Recluse" and wanted some more closure. Enjoy! --T. * I stepped outside into the warm May sunshine after my last final exam, feeling like a weight had been lifted off of me. I was graduating from college on Saturday but this was the last time I would have to set foot in a classroom. It was a good feelin...
She stares at the purple lantana, its delicate flora spread amongst railroad ties and dormant rose bushes. In the middle of winter, tiny amethyst flowers blanket the barren landscape everywhere, and she is drawn to the serene hue. She breathes in the fresh cold air, allowing her eyes time to capture the full beauty of the moment and transport sensory percept...
It was the 4th of July and the fireworks celebration was just getting started. The air was cool and moist and the darkness around me was lit only by the fireballs exploding in the sky. I lay on my blanket on the grassy hill surrounded by other groups of people with their eyes riveted on the sky. A dark shape temporarily obscured my view, then became visibl...
