You and I are taking an afternoon walk down a country road in early summer when we're caught in an unexpected rain shower. We run, hand in hand, through the curtains of rain towards the nearest shelter – a willow tree growing by the side of a stream. It's leaves trail to the ground all around it and it must be drier under its canopy. As we part the curtain...
Montgomery's glands. Not something that pops into my mind every day. It is one of those moments when you feel like you have stopped time. An agent in the Matrix. The world is dynamic and moving fast but this moment freezes long enough to analyze. And right in that split second you see them. In front of you as though they never existed before that moment. L...
So do any of you remember the days of the Cabbage Patch Kids or perhaps you were one of those crazy people standing in lines for hours at Wal-Mart or Toys R Us in hopes you could barrel yourself through the mad dash and be one of the lucky ones to get your paws on Tickle Me Elmo. It seems the mad dash is on again, but this time it isn't a heart felt doll ev...
The next few days both of us seem to avoid each other’s gaze. My sexual awakening made me desire more of it but the fear of being found out kept me away. She also did not make any effort to encourage me. One afternoon when we happened to be alone, she took me by hand and made me sit on the sofa beside her. I immediately caught hold of her hands and wanted to...
It is typical in these sorts of confessional stories to change names to protect the innocent, but in this case the concept of 'innocence' barely applies. That said, I will refer to my friend here as Sweet. If you're old enough to remember the singer Matthew Sweet, then hopefully it won't seem too odd to call him that. I think the gender ambiguity of that nam...
The evening of the party had come and Cece had by far surpassed any expectation Honey had for the party. The apartment was even more lavishly decorated than usual; beautiful flower centre pieces spaced along the twenty seater glass table, with luxurious light pink velvet chairs to match the flowers. Four bespoke crystal chandeliers hung above the table. Aro...
I came around the corner from the bathroom, following the flickering blue light and low sounds of the T.V. Peering over the back of the sofa I could see her stone faced stare at the show she was watching, remote in hand, getting ready to flip passed it. Damn she was as bad as Al Bundy when it came to channel surfing. "What the hell do you expect to find on...
Opening her blurry eyes, Alice propped herself up on an elbow trying to shake the small wave of nausea that swept through her stomach. Sitting up on her knees, she rubbed her eyes in earnest trying to get her vision to clear. When she lowered her hands she noticed things beginning to come into focus. The white nothingness she had fallen through was gone and...
--Kori-- My acceptance letter arrived today. Three months left of the school year, and I'm holding my acceptance to my number one in my hands. I'm going to Harvard and it has just occurred to me, I have no idea what Will is doing. Aside from Chemistry and English, Will isn't taking any of the same classes as me. As far as I know he isn't taking any AP cla...
"Don't leave me for long" I say to the empty room. The last hour is a blur. I don't know what to make of it. What am I doing here? Why am I sitting under a desk in a strange place waiting for a man to come back from lunch when I should be with Him chatting over a cheese salad sandwich and an ice cold G&T! I should be teasing Him, flirting with Him and ultima...
