Chapter one: I'm a retired older gentleman who worked for forty years, most of it in Central California. My next door neighbors for the past 15 years, Don and Jen, moved up to Portland, and their house recently sold. One of the selling points is a small oval shaped swimming pool in the backyard and side deck that abuts up to my fence where Jen used to sunba...
Taylah felt a sharp pain shooting back and forth between her temples. Something in the back of her head throbbed; her arms felt weak and limp, her legs felt like two cement blocks fastened to the ground that made her feel as immobile as a corpse. She tried opening her eyes, and after a few defeated attempts, she finally managed to lift open her heavy lids t...
"Erm, I think I need a Super Hero." "Sorry, all out of spandex; and wearing y-fronts on the outside of jeans is so last-year!" At least it was a better start than the last time Jennifer had stormed in demanding attention three weeks ago. The new high-flying project manager had quickly acquired a reputation for throwing her toys out of the pram, so the acce...
It was a night just like any other. Once again I'd gotten the shitty duty of being door guard on a Saturday night. While my friends had gone out, there I was, back at the barracks.

It had been a slow week when she walked into the office, a real slow week. I was kicked back in my chair, Air Jordans up on the desk, wondering if LA was ever gonna get another goddamn football team. Then I saw her limo pull up. Before my lazy-ass secretary even pointed her in my direction, I knew this was the big score, the case of the year. See I'm Slim Sh...
v.0 - Bootup The very idea was, undeniably, juvenile. It was also irresistibly compelling. Ever since the first generation of virtual entertainment, then called by the more prosaic term 'video games', there had been various kinds of code-hacking -and a definite fascination with T&A. From Lara Croft 'nude codes' to naked skins for The Sims, there were people...
Helena was exhausted. Her body ached as she and Esma waited in the line for stew in the main hall. The smell of it made her stomach ache and she salivated as they gave her a generous helping. They made their way to a table quietly and sat away from the others. Normally the hall was more active but everyone was simply too exhausted to be very social. Some sti...
Bill and Marie Part 2- Exploring Together They wouldn't be getting much sleep tonight with everything they wanted to talk about. That was Marie's thought a couple days after the events at the hot spring in the mountains. How that night blended into the rest of the weekend...they'd shared an amazing three day weekend because the day at the hot spring had...
Author's Note: An accident shrinks a thirty five year old man to just over three feet tall. *** When Jenny met us in front of the store, Arilla said, "I'm sorry I didn't have time to pack any sleepwear for her." "Don't worry about it, we'll make do with something." Jenny took my hand when I climbed out of the car. She said, "My car is around back. My r...
