Jacob stretched, his body expanding up, up, up as he grew to his full 6'1" size in the chair. The screen before him flickered, demanding attention, but he ignored it. He was no longer at a point where he had to chase each contract and each job offer down to the wire. This job alone would pay what used to take a year to earn. Combined with the real estate pra...
'A New Beginning' is another of my literary experiments, this time a parallel story in two parts. Part 1 was the story as told by Patrick. The second part is the same story told by Rachel, ending with a convergence of both parts that lead into the conclusion. The conversations between Rachel and Patrick remain the same, highlighting what was going on in the...
The "Mourning Dove" sailed bravely ahead of the gale, her canvas stripped to the main staysails and the spritsail to keep her before the wind. She labored up the rise of one mountainous wave to plunge heavily into the trough with a sickening screech as her timber bones flexed inside her oak planked skin. The loose ends of cables and sheets whipped against th...
"Welcome everyone to Fox and Guests Extreme, my name is Jamie Colby, I'll be standing in tonight for Martha MacCallum, she's a little tired and if you say this morning's Fox and Guests, you'd know why!" Jamie stood there looking as good as any of the featured women on the show tonight. She was wearing a long sleeved red turtleneck pullover. A wide leather b...
Marcus A. Schafer and Juliet B. Simpkins, Mark and Julie, met during their freshman year in college and became a couple by the end of the first semester. Their interests, personalities and disparate majors probably should have separated them, but somehow they stayed together. He was in computer science and she in business and finance, both at Penn State. He...
So this is my story of love won, lost, won and lost and won and lost and.... Well, you get the idea. It's a story of manipulation, thoughtlessness and anger, and about how the ends never justify the means. It's meandering and a lot happens, so hold tight. We were on a weekend away, with two other couples, out in the woods in Montana. Two weeks before, anoth...
The humans had a term that applied to women like her; no not slut. But rather she was reminded of the supposed 'Glass Ceiling' that human women groan over in the business world. If they only knew... A sharp tingling passed through her body, from the pearlescent skin of her sleek legs, to her enticingly fertile hips, and upwards to the bulbous domes of her te...
(Author's Note: Thanks everyone for the comments about the first story. I had not originally planned for it to be a multi-part story, but given how well it was received, I've decided to add two new parts. This means there needs to be a small correction to the first story. Where I say they are in town for a "two day" sales conference at the beginning, that sh...
I awoke to the familiar sounds of a hospital. The constant "beep beep" of a heart monitor, the smells of disinfectant, the soft noises. I tried to open my eyes but nothing happened. I tried to move and found I couldn't. I tried to open my mouth to call out and found I couldn't move. It was as if I was paralyzed. I lay there and just listened. Soon I was ab...
FFFF Channel 17 Seventh and Last Day on Fantasy Cruise Author's note, this fantasy segment once completed consisted of 192 Microsoft Word pages. I figured being this long I would break it up into seven mini stories, one for each day of the week on the cruise. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it. Friday was finally here and when the four wo...
