Pretty much everyone knows about Stockholm Syndrome - the name given to the condition that occurs when a hostage befriends or starts to feel compassion for his or her captor. I wonder if there is a similar syndrome for rape victims? I watched my wife being raped but she never told me about it and never reported it to the authorities. And even though I know s...
Molly O'Ryan stood on the dock with tears running down her pretty face. The wind whipped her long, straight, red hair. She watched her Father bartering with the fine, English gentleman. She knew full well what he was doing; he was selling his eldest daughter, a girl just turned 18, so that her brothers and sister would survive the coming winter. Times were m...
Julie and I had been married for eight years and, probably like many of you, we would get these brochures from time to time about cruises in the Caribbean and had friends, again, probably like you do, who have gone on these cruises and loved it. So, not long after our best friends returned from one and had told us all about it, a packet arrived in the mail...
A very special thanks to Frontma for making this submission a better read. * Midday saw Victor turning his SUV off the dirt road and moving along a faintly visible path that would lead him to their secluded cabin in the woods. The hustle bustle of the city had long been left behind. The lake was just a half an hour walk thru the path in the woods from the...
When I was young we moved into a neighborhood of moderate income. I was the middle child of three boys. We had the typical rearing that most would say might have been normal. Of course in our young eyes we were rich. We went to the local five star restaurants nearby. You know them, McDonalds, What-a-Burger, Burger King and lest I forget, the ever famous Fren...
It was getting on to dusk as Loren and I pulled into his cabin. We'd left the Chicago area early this morning in order to make the long drive. Loren's cabin is in the flowage of Wisconsin, about a six hour drive from Schaumburg. The idea was that we would spend the week installing a new pier and replacing the roof on his cabin. Not much time to relax but bot...
There are some things that only someone who is born and raised in India will understand, especially the entire "Marriage" circus. I checked all the check marks that is expected of a "boy" of my generation: Engineer, Masters in US and Working in Silicon Valley. The only thing remaining was getting married. My Family sent me pics and the details of the "prospe...
Chapter 03: Paul's Story This is a true story submitted to me by Paul. He sent it to me after reading Boating 2. He declined to name his country of origin. These are mostly Paul’s words, but English is not his first language. I have edited as necessary, but tried to keep as much original prose as possible. Everything started when I was 12 years old. A 16-y...
Don and Cindy have been together for 18 years and were very close. They trusted each other very much and knew they could tell each other anything. Therefore they loved to talk about their fantasies while they made love to each other. They talked a lot about swinging with a third person and also with another couple. One of Cindy’s biggest fantasies was to...
Scott looked up from his book at the sound of car doors being shut outside the cabin. He glanced over at Sarah sitting in a lounge chair in the woods-side corner of the cabin, her long tanned legs pulled up under her as she read a book of her own. It had been an extremely chill vacation thus far, and he was very much looking forward to a nice relaxing massag...
