Julie and Stan were lying in bed together, having just finished watching a movie. A rom-com that Julie had picked out to cleanse Stan's choice of a hard sci-fi film that they had watched before. Between and during, they'd fooled around. The first incident happened halfway through the superhero movie. Julie had gotten up for a fresh snack and Stan couldn't re...
I lay in bed, and look over at the bedside clock and it's almost 5:00AM, we don't have to be up for another hour and a half. I snuggle next to you and try and go back to sleep. I'm restless and I can't sleep. You are laying on your side facing away from me, you turn over on your back, pushing the blankets down to your waist. There is just enough light coming...
It was Sunday, the first Sunday where I didn't have to sing at the Cathedral of the Sacred Mother. The Chancel Choir was out for the summer. My first Sunday in six months of no commitments, no waking up early, no dressing up, nothing but sleeping in to my heart's content. I didn't have the struggle with the alarm clock of "to sleep or not to sleep" or my mor...
A warm, rather large form settles over me the next morning, drawing me from my dreams. I open my eyes as warm skin touches my forehead. All I am able to see is a pair of gleaming green eyes filled with laughter and mischief. "Ty, what on earth are you doing?" "Doing? I'm not doing anything." "You are laying on me. Why?" "It's time to get up, Angel. Our r...
Victoria woke up surprised that the alarm hadn’t roused her. She glanced at the clock to see if she had overslept but found it was still twenty minutes before her usual time to arise. She stretched and decided to get up anyway, not to doze and wait for the alarm. An extra twenty minutes before going to work might be a blessing. In her bare feet and nightgown...

He was well built; a toned, athletic body, His muscles were firm but not frighteningly bulging. His eyes shone like emeralds in a handsome face, not the most attractive in the world, but still cute, he reminded her of a young Leonardo DeCapr...
Beginnings: The experiment was set to begin. Proper funding had been hard to attain years before in the initial stages. Marlow was sure it was to be a success. Control set ups had been stringently enforced upon all the staff and equipment. Marlow was so sure of the program because he had conceived it, designed it, and built all the necessary cranial machin...
After Scott left the room, there was a few moments of shared silence between Samantha and I. It wasn't an uncomfortable type, but a sort of silence that occurs when two people are reflecting on recent elements of their conversation. Or the kind of silence that will present itself between two people who had been drunk and had begun to sober up. Meanwhile I wa...
This is the true story of a vacation my family took to Los Angeles when I was 18 years old. It was supposed to be a college visit for me, but my family wanted to turn every trip into a vacation. That particular trip, I was visiting UCLA and we stayed at the Holiday Inn in Westwood. Since then, it's become the Double Tree. Look it up. I'm not lying. This is a...
Getting old sucks. Getting old and sick sucks double. Getting old and sick alone really sucks. When I had my heart trouble, 4 years ago, sure, I was 70, but I had by wife Esther to see me through it. The worst part was losing my erection, because of the medication. Esther and I were proud sexy seniors until then. That sweet woman , who looked like the ex Sun...
