You are a space pirate. No, not that kind of space pirate that can be seen in the old books with exciting dogfights, lasers blazing, space boarding and stuff like that. Everything is much more boring. You are Mark Tanner. A hacker. And you make your living by intercepting long route automatic cargoships, hacking their AIs, bringing vessels to your very own b...
An action story with intrigue and romance. * I groaned and rolled over as my hand groped blindly for the cell phone that was playing the "Marine's Hymn." You know the song, the one that starts out, "From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli." My hand finally closed around the object that had woke me up from my sleep. Opening one eye I looked at...
Five She left me in reception while she popped upstairs to turn over the memory card from the video camera. Vinnie attracted some attraction here, a few puzzled looks, one or two double takes. I sat there reading one of the old magazines, idly flicking through for pictures. I was wondering if she loved me a bit more after our sexcapade. I'd do anything to...
"Hey, the game just started let's go watch it on the big screen," said Domenic to his friend Anthony. "Nah," said Anthony. "Nah, what do you mean, nah?" Dom looked at Tony. "The Sox are playing the Yankees." He looked at his friend again, "Schilling is pitchin'." "You go ahead and watch it. I'll listen to it on the radio in the kitchen." "Radio? What are...

Felicity Smoak was a nervous wreck. She had pretty much been a nervous wreck since putting her clothes back on, but it seemed to get worse with every step she took as she and Sara Lance returned wordlessly to their apartment. The whole trip felt like a blur, Felicity's MIT graduating mind repeating over and over again all the reasons why what they had just d...
*Author's note. I am in the process of editing and rewriting a number of stories from my collection, as well as editing those of a few other authors. I hope that you enjoy the tidbits that I am able to throw at you until the first flood of fiction hits, and then I can only hope you don't hit back. In the meantime, here is a little something to hold you over...
Skylar flipped her hair over her shoulder as she looked in the mirror, having just brushed her teeth. The reflection of a pale, thin woman with dark hair stared back at her. She didn't consider herself attractive, and rarely warranted a second look from other people due to the fact that she did nothing to draw attention to herself, such as wearing makeup or...
A month after her unhappy experience at the concert, Julie had come to a decision about her future. "I think I want to go home again, Aunt Eleanor. I can get a job at the same restaurant chain there; I've already checked it out. I'm considered qualified, experienced and a valuable employee. How's that for frumpy, dumpy and lumpy." she laughed. Eleanor hugge...
I guess all good stories start at the beginning by knowing who people are and what their story is. Me? At the time of this, it's just before my 18th birthday, and I've just finished my exams for the first semester of college. My best friend and I took each other's virginity at 15, and decided we were too good as friends to screw it up by dating each other. A...
