This is something I wrote under a different screen name on a social media site with a journal facility. I toned the sex down in the original, but we're all adults here right? I've put it in the non-erotic category, because although sex is a part of the tale, [a] it's at homeopathic levels and [b] the story is about how lustful thoughts can keep one's mind aw...
I first saw her across a crowded room; a high end function, I think it was. She stood out. Long, shoulderblade length black hair; it shimmered in the lighting, not a single hair out of the intended wave. Her skin was alabaster, perfect; the dress descended in waves down her body, but hugged her form, the same shade of iridescent black as her hair. Indeed, th...
Chapter I , Year 1, CARGO HAND There was a low hum, there always was. It was constant to the point that you simply stopped hearing it. What was slightly harder to ignore was the constant drips on ice cold water that fell every where. Third or fourth hand water that comes from the condensation of constantly re-breathed air. The walls were rusty with it...
As my eyes lifted I saw my first sight of a Masters dungeon, I gulped, and Sir placed his hand on my shoulders, "do not worry girl, most is just for show," and his deep voice broke into a chuckle. Sir undid the 3 buttons on my coat and removed it. He then lifted my yellow cashmere jumper up and I raised my arms as He removed that too. Going behind me H...
In the dimly lit room, facing a caving in the wall; a forge, sat knelt a boy in his late teens. His wavy, jet-black hair gleaming under the light; his face dripping wet with sweat. In front of the loosely-clothed boy, and inside the blinding forge, was filled with scorching coal chunks that were scattered around. On top of the coal chunks, a deformed thick,...
My parents had tossed me out after the found out I had given some pot to my little sister. Actually, it had been more than that – I was a bad influence for a lot of reasons – but that was the last straw. I dropped out of school and tried waitressing, but it was pretty obvious from the start that I didn't have the memory or the temperament. I got fired and co...
"This is our first episode, so don't fuck it up." Katie paced the lobby floor while biting on her nails. "Just keep the camera rolling. We're gonna drill him about his college payouts, his gambling, his extramarital affairs. Ugh! I'm gonna ask the questions everyone else is afraid to." While holding the camera, her fiancé heightened a brow. "Shouldn't we le...
Timothy Cairncross had left the station and was making his way along a tree-lined street. The late afternoon traffic was murmuring like a muted diapason, the sky darkening to ruby in the west. A slight wind stirred dead leaves in the gutter. And then a sharp turn in the road revealed a block of flats half-hidden in Virginia-creeper. As he made his way up th...
Naked, Rosa stood in the marble and stainless steel kitchen brewing tea. Beyond the panoramic window, across the divide, that long ago may or may not have been a river servicing the town, but now separated her property from the modern six storey car park opposite, she saw the slightest of movements in the shadows. Still facing the window, for effect, she st...
Taylor listened as the engine raced and caught hold, raced and caught hold; the car moving twenty feet before slipping out of gear again. Being 18 and not having any clue as to what was happening, panic was beginning to set in. TRI STATE TRANSMISSIONS, the sign seemed to shout. Finally I'm getting a break, I thought, maybe they can see what's wrong with my...
