I started this one thinking I would build on a vignette from "Gunny" with Winona Gustophsen as the main character but the more I wrote into it the more I was reminded of the protagonist, Dave, and the story needed to be his instead of the curious woman named Winona. She still has a story to tell but the unfolding of it will have to be on her timeline rather...
We couldn't help ourselves. We're soulmates ... my wife said just before her soulmate beat the shit out of me. My eyes felt like they weighed a ton when I tried to open them. I tried again and had the same results. Finally they opened but nothing was in focus. I closed and re-opened them several times before I could see anything. Most of the light in the ro...
2003: The homeless woman stared up at Solace’s window. Her bony fingers lightly gripped the handles of her ancient shopping cart, which contained her entire life. Her eyes blazed with determination. She wore a tattered tee-shirt with the phrase “Isn’t It Ironic?” emblazoned in large, red letters. Surprisingly, her jeans and sneakers were in relatively good c...
#Alys I awoke covered in sweat. It seemed that the mental wounds I had endured would last longer than the physical ones. My face was covered in silent tears and I wiped them away as my blurry eyes gained focus. I found Arden had fallen asleep sitting up, watching me, and empty bags of blood sat on the bed beside him. Slowly I got up and moved across the sma...
I woke up as Lori returned to bed and kissed my cheek. "Time to get up. You need to brush your teeth and get back in here, I'm not walking funny." I flew out of bed and scrubbed my mouth and was back between Lori's legs in a flash. She was learning to control her volume so we only had to use the pillow twice but the rest of the time she quietly urged me on...
I think I am lost. I took a wrong turn, I must have done, and now the sun is low and his rays in my eyes. Shafts of deepening light slant through the trees about me. I blink, dazzled. There was a path, but I don’t know where I left it. Stopping, I listen. Far away, the drone of traffic; an irrational fear subsides. As the sun tumbles slowly downwards in s...
After cleaning up in the shower - which involved a lot of giggling, rubbing and more soap suds than he had ever thought possible - Tom and Kaley towelled off, threw their swimming gear back on and headed out to the beach. "Darryl will get suspicious if I stay here all day." Tom stayed quiet. It was more difficult to stave off his guilt in the light of day....
My name is Laura. I am a sophomore in college and I have never had sex. Yes, I know it might be surprising, but it's the true. I had the same boyfriend during all four years of high school. He was the head receiver for the football team, popular, and had decent grades. We started dating at the beginning of freshman year because we both had English together....
The seating assignments for the vans were called out. Peri waited patiently to see whose van she would be riding in for the business trip to Virginia. Everyone piled into vans as their names were called and Peri looked around worried, as her name had not been called. She saw her boss standing talking with a young man in his early 20's. She approached them....
Author's note: This story is a spinoff of the Were Wars series (Behind the Lines of the Were War, Beyond the Were War and Between the Were Wars) and takes place about a year after that story ends. It is not necessary to have read that series first, but why wouldn't you? I think you'll enjoy them. ***** Chapter 1 "And Nyx (Night) bare hateful Moros (Doom)...
