"Don't you think you're being a little irrational?" I sigh and glance out the window. Mike is playing with Brooklyn in the snow. A dormant part of me is pleased by the sight. "Claire," Mom says, trying to recapture my attention. "Mom." "Claire." I sigh again, a small smile on my face. "No, not irrational, exactly. I think this might be good for me." "Y...
This is a true story. My wife agreed to submit it only if the names were changed. I preferred not to do that, but she won me over. * * * * * It was a warm summer evening so Joyce and I decided to take the boat out on the lake. We packed up a bottle of wine and some snacks and headed for our favorite place hoping it would be deserted. We planned on drinkin...
This is a work of fiction. All names and characters are fictitious. The narrator is a 46 y/o female, we will call Allie. She is divorced, lives alone, has a grown daughter, son-in-law, and year old grandson. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You're joking," I said. "Hear me out. He likes you, trusts you. Maybe he'll tell you what's wrong." The desperation in my long-tim...
It was Halloween night a few years ago. It was dark and raining, and we kept losing electricity. I live a couple miles off the main road - usually people don't come down this way unless they know somebody, and trick-or-treating is virtually non-existent. I was hanging out, watching TV when there was a knock on the door. Looking at the clock, I saw it was nea...
In death I dream of you. You are beautiful and you are there and you reside in me yet like the perfect stillness of a mist that rises and rests over a calm body of water in the early predawn morning; forever there, forever perfect. The tub you've taken was long and warm and scented and was meant to help with your uncertainties and calm your anticipation. An...
The plan was simple: get a man that my wife found attractive to come to my house and fuck my wife. I arrange to be called into the office and after circling around the block I peer into the window to see what transpires. My heart flutters as I made the calls to set it up. First, I call my buddy, Nick. He and I, in some of our less sober moments, discussed o...
"So, it's settled. You are going to be my husband's wife for the weekend and I will go with your husband being his wife for the weekend," Lauren said to me. "We are agreed on how far we are going to go right?" Let me back up and start from the beginning. My name is Jennifer and everyone calls me Jenni. I'm thirty years old married now for five years to Stev...
I spent four days and three nights studying with Arianna. What I found was a wealth of possible spells able to be used in an instant. Arianna also showed me a few spells that would serve as a surprise since they had not been seen in many centuries. Armed only with my spells, and wearing my ensorcelled duster and a ring that Arianna gave me, I went out to my...
I don't think I'd ever been so nervous about anything in my life. A date. Nothing big. But after two years of celibacy, it seems monumental. My hands shake a little as they fasten a fine gold chain around my neck. Breathe, I warn myself, just breathe. The doorbell rings. Oh, this isn't going to help my pulse at all. Your eyes warm appreciatively when I ope...
