NINE I woke on Thursday to the sound of my phone telling me I had a text message. It was from Geoff, reminding me that he was picking me up at 8.30. I glanced at the clock by the bed: 7.30. Now for a man in good physical shape, an hour is plenty to get washed, dressed and breakfasted. For me it was not so easy, and so I missed breakfast. Geoff took me to...
Author's Notes: Here it is. The finale, the conclusion! This is going up in the Romance category, as, well, Paul and Kat have experienced most everything in the First Time area. Here we get to see... well, you'll find out as you read it. A few disclaimers: names are used as reference points to enhance the plot. This is, after all, a work of fiction. I'...
"Can we talk?" I laughed into the phone. "Are you channeling Joan Rivers?" Steph giggled and said she was serious about talking. "I take it you don't mean over the phone like we're doing right now." "No, this is a face-to-face talk." "Is something wrong? Are you sick? No, are you and Cory breaking up? God, what happened? Did he cheat on you? I'll kill...
Author's Note: This is a transcript of a Roll20 session with me and my friends playing the new tabletop RPG by Piazo, Starfinder. I have edited it to correct errors, make things clearer, and generally flow better. But, by and large, most of the words are my friends and mine. Think of this as the literary version of the youtube lets plays of tabletop games....
This began as a contest submission and due to the constraints of the contest went far off the rails. Anyone who has read my stories knows limiting me to 750 words is a failure waiting to happen. So 19407 words later, I give you this story. I've tried a few different things here, a new category for one, writing in the third person for another. As always, co...
Thanks, as always, to my editing team, Girlinthemoon, Hal, Pixel the Cat, Olddave1951 and GeorgeAnderson. Harddaysknight is my mentor and gives me critical review. Sbrooks103x also reads for me. Thank you, I love you all. Randi. * I passed the door of the department store and looked in the window. There was a line of kids inside about fifty long, waiting t...
I recognized him when he walked through the front door of the agency. It had been a long time, but he was still the same guy I had seen in court every few years when I was a kid. A little thinner, less hair and the need for glasses were new, but it was him. My office is enclosed in glass. I try to minimize anything that separates me from anyone else that w...
It is amazing how a talented and willing editor can take a bunch of words and have them make sense. Thank you, Flavian. Wife Jodie thought that spending a night with another man would be fun. She also thought her husband wouldn't mind. She may have been correct on the night of fun part, but she certainly fucked up thinking her husband wouldn't object. * I...
"Are you shitting me?" Kennedy nearly shouted. "What is this, the 1950's? She has a ticket and an ID." We were leaving for spring break, and I just knew I should have dressed more androgynously, maybe some baggy jeans and a sweatshirt. My breasts would have been impossible to hide, and it was definitely too warm out for that kind of clothing, but it would'v...
~~Welcome to the world of Vampire: the Requiem~~ ~~Two weeks later~~ ~~Jack~~ He was in love. In love. He was in love he was in love. Words failed him. He tried to capture the feeling he had in his chest, but love just seemed to come up short. No matter how hard he dug into the depths of his soul, he couldn't find some word to represent the blissful pain...
