Don't stand to close to a paranoid is my advice. It catches. One night my friend, while leaning over his PC, decided to conduct an experiment (no doubt stoked by a considerable amount of book smarts, too little wisdom & too much esoterica):" Meme virus- unreality as infection my bosom bud, a downloadable paranoia" He spun in his swivel chair to stare me d...

It had been more than four years since I'd seen Lila when my divorce was finalized. In that time, I had gone from a wild and carefree sex maniac whose goals and ambitions were seemingly limitless to a jaded and defeated shlub thanks to the efforts of one Doris Kapecknick, who made marriage into something akin to Martin Sheen's boat ride down the Nung river i...
This story, unlike so many others, starts at the death. It is certainly an unconventional way to start a story but not unheard of. The end of her life was unquestionably the beginning of the most interesting chapter. And it was a lovely death. One could not ask for more. Surrounded by her friends as the life fades from her body. ***** Death certainly wa...
It had been a particularly challenging week filled with last minute shipping modifications. The annual ordering cycle signaling the beginning of the holiday season had begun. Soon overtime would be mandatory bringing bloated paychecks and exhaustion. Realizing my precious free time would soon be spent preparing for the holidays, I decided to forego my normal...
Thanks to my editor Cheer_smartie526, this story was a lot more work that I thought it would be. This series is intended to be like a TV series, you can start on any story and it should make sense, but is better if you start from the begining. That said, this one is closely tied to the one that follows it. Enjoy the story. Brad glanced around the hotel...
Daisy collapsed onto her bed, completely exhausted. She had been filming her new movie for 4 months sraight, with hardly a break to relax or have fun. Today had been especially rough. 14 hours in a giant swimming pool, hooked up to wires, wrapped in a harness, surrounded by fish and cameras. Take, after take, after gruesome take. She was in great shape, tha...
Chapter 11 -- To Safety. Anny's bare feet slapped heavily on the hot pavement as she ran; her legs jarring and her skin burning as it came into contact with the ground. She was running for her life. Walkers were all she could see; they were approaching her from all sides of the street. Where was she? There were so many of them... How did she get here? It di...
"I don't know why you talked me into staying until this morning. This is crazy, Stan: you're skipping a class you need this morning, and if I don't get back in time for lab at 3, I'm done as a pre-Med major." "Shut up, Willie. We gotta see if she was serious about what she said yesterday morning." "I think you heard it wrong. I know you heard it wrong. Nob...
I was looking forward to game night. Well, I always look forward to game night, but more so this time. Perhaps I should explain. Every week, we come together at my own or one of my friends' houses to play games. Sometimes we're a small group, but when everyone is there we're with 8 people. We play board games, mostly, and every once in a while we watch a mo...
