Decades ago when I was still a fairly young man, there was a quiet pub in my corner of London that was popular among gentlemanly American sailors. Not the sort of rowdy drunken loudmouths that gave their country a bad name, mind you, but their more mature brethren who enjoyed a quiet drink and pleasant conversation by the fireside before returning to sea. Ha...
Disclaimer: No children are harmed in this chapter. No children were harmed in the making of this chapter in real life, either. ;-) **************** I was lying on my couch and thinking hard about how I was going to bring destruction to the One-Oh-Fours. Their magic was now strong enough to withstand the presence of a hundred and three disbelieving minds....
This is a fantasy story filled with mighty creatures, wicked sorcerers, magical weapons, and of course beautiful women with long shining hair and a true Hero, controlling his women with an iron fist. Well, apart from the fact that he's not very heroic, and that the women mostly use their cunning ways to disobey him when they do not outright turn the tables o...
Thank you so much for the voting and comments and feed back I've been getting. I hope you continue enjoying Gypsy and Cadyn's story. * She dropped her head to her hands when she hung the phone up. Looking around the desk at the small stacks of notes she'd made, adding a planner and possible boutique space to her 'to do and look for' list. Her stomach grow...
Jeez! This is why I don't like doing "Skis"; Polanski, Krasinski, Romakowski, or "Anyotherskis." You know, guys of Polish decent? The fuckers spooge like lawn sprinklers when they pop. I scoop the last gobs Gribonowski's baby gravy out of my cleavage and thank Gods Unseen that I have the experience to efficiently manage such a messy exchange. He's pulled up...
They are pretty, they are not, they are plain, mysterious, tall, short, slender and not so slender, but without exception, they know they are a Wallflower. There is no sex in this story. It is a little longer than my usual stories, but you will enjoy it. Every community has one, larger communities may have several, but if you look closely, you will find th...
Elsa said, "Max and I will go see about the food. Anne, why not show our guests to the shower and let them clean up a little?" Anne agreed, and as Max and Elsa left in the direction of the house she began to move to a back corner of the building. Alison saw that an area she had first taken as just another piece of wall was actually a baffled entrance to a l...
I'M SORRY ITS' BEEN SO LONG! I would like to say hello to my friends and readers who have toughed it out while waiting for this short chapter to arrive. I can't tell you how hard it is for me to walk the 12 feet from my bed to this computer console, which contains everything I need to move this story along. My brain feels and reacts like under-cooked oatmea...
Part 1, Amy’s Sunday Amy’s thoughts returned to the present, leaving behind for the moment her mental recap of her date with Professor Daniels, Marc as she was now calling him. It was starting to get dark. How long had she been sitting there going over the most marvelous 24 hours of her life she wondered, there were no clocks in sight so she had no way of k...
Sequel: The trouble with Mitzi. "Eat up all of those cornflakes, Tiger. I want to see that cereal bowl empty," said Mitzi from across the breakfast table. "You are going to need all of those B vitamins," she added, smiling meaningfully. Tiger. Derek smiled delightedly. 'Tiger' - ha ha! Well, he certainly hadn't gotten much in the way of sleep last night...
