We drive up to a small diner and was ushered to a table for two. As I sit across from her with the light filtering in the window, I see a sight I wish I could put into words. The beauty, the glow, the cheerful and playfulness that I witness is enough to energize me more than a drinking a pot of coffee at one sitting could do. She spears a piece of fruit wi...
(Co-written by Flicker, based on a drawing by Hakidamari) *** 'Wonderful Rush'. That's the name of the new cafe that opened up in your neighborhood. It's been a massive success, or so you've heard. You see it in passing on the way to work, and it's packed every time. Today is no different, but the weekend has arrived and you finally have some time to wa...
It's too early to be awake. "u up?" A text from Camilla. The clock reads 5AM. "nah" I type back. Trying to signal a sort of detachment. Her text doesn't mean anything. None of them do. "can i cum over" Huh. She really knows what I'm about. I tell her to come over as soon as possible. I don't have time to waste. Claire is coming around 11. She arrives a...
Callie Brown sat apprehensively in the Consultant's waiting room but she knew she was doing the right thing. She'd put this day off for 3 years but she had finally got the courage to make the appointment. A young, pretty and very busty nurse walked past her, smiling as she did, seemingly staring at her but in a nice way. In fact, it was more an admiring look...
"That definitely is a positive" said Claire. "Having only 151 cars of that model manufactured should make identifying it much easier." Tyler nodded and took another drink of coffee. He had been updating Claire and Dennis in on what Katie had told him about the Corvette over breakfast. They were scheduled to meet with Sheriff Radcliff in a little under an ho...
1. As the sun sets, Marta pours another glass of wine and fans herself as the spaghetti boils on her stove. It's the middle of October, and by all rights, it should be chilly outside, but Autumn has been timid as of late, letting some of Summer's heat linger like stragglers at a party. She wipes sweat from her brow and is reaching for a can of tomato sauce...

The online dating world can be challenging at best down to completely frustrating most of the time. If you are a man, it is downright impossible to navigate. Too many pitfalls, not enough mermaids. Something I forgot as I have not been in need of this type of service for years but had recently joined a non vanilla "off the beaten path" website to quash a spe...
In that dark of summer's eve, Su had just tucked the children in for the night. For many months now, the townsfolk were out, fighting the war. Their children safe in her midst at the old manor as she spent her days with them as teacher and the evenings after as nanny. They loved her for her gentle grace, affectionately calling her the very same, "nanny." S...
The door slams open and you're wide awake, scrambling for the belt knife you'd concealed under a pillow even as you'd been thrusting into Malia. Malia screams. You put your body in front of hers, holding her behind you with one arm as you hold the knife in the other, blade arcing back against your forearm as you prepare to ward off an attack. The man from...
