The state slogan of Kansas is "as big as you think." And somewhere, nestled neatly in between the countless corn rows and vast Great Plains, there are a lot of big surprises. The year, 1985, brought President Ronald Reagan's second term, the movie, 'A Chorus Line,' and the hit song "And We Danced," by a group called The Hooters. Meanwhile, two country bo...
Syd was interested in sex, but usually afraid that she would be taken advantage of. She had been raised in a strict religious background and had a hard time getting around the belief that sex was dirty. Maybe that was what ruined her marriage. She refused to do certain things that her husband wanted. She would say, "that's disgusting", if he ever mentioned t...
My husband was out of town. Again. Sometimes I felt like a single Mom, raising my two kids without a husband present. He made great money, but sometimes I felt like he travelled so much that I didn't have a partner. In addition, when he was home he seemed distracted, too busy catching up on his own life to pay much attention to me. Rather than his absence ma...
Isaac was thirty-five and Jill thirty now. They had been trying for 3 years to have a baby since their marriage.

"Getting married is j...

Please enjoy! ================= The teacher had asked James to take the bandage with him, and try doing the wrap himself before the next Phys-ed class, but to come see her before class so she could check it. James headed to the boy...
It was getting time, thought Claudia, for Mortimer to get his first real pet. He'd proven himself responsible enough with the tarantula, the lizard, and those weird fish things whose name she could never remember. Animals like that are well enough, but Mortimer needed a companion, something to keep him company on the lonely grounds of the mansion, when he wa...
Sometimes when I close my eyes I feel his whiskers against my neck. When my husband cuddles up behind me and slides his hand up my shirt, I see his face. I bite my lip and remember the feeling of his body pressed up against mine. The weight of him, the smell of his breath, the aching stretch between my legs as he pushed himself deeper. I was on a business...
"Hi, Mrs. Carmichael," Mark said while entering the foyer of the Carmichael house, "is Karly home from college yet?" "She's up in her room with Becky," Genni Carmichael replied. "She said to just send you up when you got here." "Thanks, Mrs. C," he replied while taking off up the stairs to her room on the second floor. "Knock first," Genni Carmichael y...

My name is Robert. I was, at one time, addicted to the online world called Second Life. I guess I cannot say I am not addicted to it any more but that is what this story is all about. I first heard of second life on a TV show called CSI New York. I was a little intrigued by it but did not do anything about it for over a year. I then decided to try it. My fi...
