The crew of the Perseus gathered together, each member making their greetings with one another. The general mood of the group was of both relief and thankfulness. Everyone was crying tears of happiness as they all came together in a group hug. They stayed like that for a few minutes, glad they were all still alive. It wasn't long before they remembered that...
Ch. 11a: Waltz with the Demon's Pet 1 The room was dark and hot. The air was thick with vapor and scent of sulfur. The heat was so intense, even for the Dwarves. The cavern was located deep inside the bowels of the earth. It was a home of no one, for nothing could survive in these unfriendly environment, not even monsters or subterraneous beasts. A lone ma...
CHAPTER 12: "All warfare is based on deception." -- Sun Tzu * * * It took most of Kendra's willpower not to tap her foot on the floor or get up and start pacing. She'd been waiting for two whole hours. Falkaan had drilled it into her head for years that you should never let personal ticks in speech or body language give away what you were thinking or feeli...
"I can't believe you..." A strange mix of disbelief and something she couldn't quite identify, is what Erica Dane felt at that moment. "Kicked out of prom... Really!?" The blonde mother continued in query as she drove, her narrow eyes keeping to the wet road before her. "You are eighteen years old. Eighteen! You're supposed to be the mature one in your c...
Author's Note: Thanks for the comments on the first chapters of C&G. I'm happy to get the feedback, positive and negative. As usual, I write too much about characters (and maybe I put some plot in there too), but not enough about sex. So, if that's not for you, I'll politely ask you to see yourself to the door. For the rest of you, I will assume you've r...
For the six or seven readers out there who've been clamoring for a story spun off from A Quickie in the Commodore's Office, here's a cautionary tale featuring Cameron, future guitarist for the Kabuki Hikers, and his adventures just after he graduated from high school. It's weird writing a first-person narrator who's kind of an asshole, but I tried. Enjoy!...
I woke up Wednesday morning feeling quite good. Pam was there with my coffee, and Jeri was still lying next to me. I had a strange feeling that today was going to be a good day. I asked Pam "How is you bottom today?" "It's still a little red and a little sore when I sit but other wise it's fine. Thank you for letting Glenda stay with me last night." "I h...
Ch. 07: The Quest for Loyalty Atrus White Lion stood on top of the hill, looking at the landscape around him. The view of the Land of Lore never bored him. The long chain of mountains in the south, the unbroken view of forest in the west, the great canyons in the east, and the fearsome stormy Northern Ocean, added wonderful touch to the realm. From where he...
"So I'll find what lies beneath Your sick twisted smile As I lie underneath Your cold jaded eyes Now you turn the tide on me 'Cause you're so unkind I will always be here For the rest of my life" -Breaking Benjamin "What Lies Beneath" She lasted two and a half hours before things started falling apart. Her walk with Sam had been a welcome diversion; the s...
ONE Devika Sai's eyes snapped open. A moment ago, she had been deep asleep, but something had awoken her. For a moment, she wondered if her alarm had gone off somehow, but a glance at the clock told her it was 3:00 am, a few hours too early. She wondered if there had been a loud noise just now, if it had ended the moment she'd awakened. Perhaps a peel of th...
