Tara looked nervously around the arrivals gate. Whatever was she thinking? This was crazy. She should know better at her age. That was just it...at her age. When half your life was over.

It was early when I woke and checked my alarm clock. Being a Saturday, it wasn't set to go off, but I woke at the same time regardless. My name is John Adel, and I knew I'd never get back to sleep now that I was awake enough to check the time. So I got out of bed with the intention of getting some early morning shopping done since I had nothing better to do....
An Intimate Interlude. The ship never rested, never slept; most of the time it was on the move, shifting its colossal bulk from one harbour to the next, freeing its occupants to wander on dry land before recalling them back into its keeping. Those people it did allow to go free were quickly replaced; there was always a ready supply of bodies to keep it comp...
Author's Note: This is a sequel to my erotic magic/fantasy story "She Tastes Like Springwater" but can be read by itself. ****** The citadel of Endymion held many wonders, as befitting the keep of a famous magician, enough to excite for several lifetimes. The old sage explored the stacks of his own personal library, and absently reached out to trace his fi...
Nina found herself overwhelmed. She stood at the center of the largest mall in town. Clothed in her ratty hoodie, jeans, and tennis shoes that the hospital loaned her after her accident (none of her old clothes fit), she still got plenty of looks from passersby. One old man even wolf whistled at her as she passed, and though she hated to admit it, she'd felt...
So, want me to grant your wish? Well, wait, what I mean to say is...Hello. Who am I? You may call me...Shim. I am a genie, but not the kind you find in a lamp. No no, I was freed from those shackles decades ago. Yet, with all the power my freedom affords, I still most enjoy listening to the mortals around me and fulfilling their wishes. Granted, yes, most...

Chapter Four – Carlotta. Evelyn's heart thumped in her throat. The racing blood made her feel dizzy. It also made her fingers fumble as she closed the door of her car. She stood in the late afternoon light that made the copper of her hair glow. My God, was she nervous. Slowly she turned and walked up to the house, clutching her purse and the bottle of wine...
