They came in 21XX.
You grew up on science fiction, alien invasion movies among them, and scoffed at their junk science. Everyone knew interstellar distances were impossibly wide. Everyone knew going faster than light was impossible. Nobody knew that with the right inputs the laws of physics went from iron-clad rules to discover, to blank spaces in a self-insert storybook just waiting for some kid to come along and pencil their name in.
The discovery of the Fundamental Exploitable Reality Nootropic System, FERNS, is the only reason you weren't all wiped out. Though everybody just calls it reality warping, or the power, or psychic power, or the touch — literally anything other than an acronym that reminds most people of house plants. If they'd discovered it years before you'd probably have entered a Golden Age, although that's what the politicians and minders called your society before it was ripped out from under you.
Some scientists were studying their personal pet theories on alternate realities, and enlightened mind states, and psychic powers when they discovered FERNS. One of their fifteen year-old guinea pigs — what? They experimented on orphans, I don't think they deserve to get away calling their 'subjects' anything else — started being able to throw things around with her mind, and they were pretty shocked. Then when they figured out her little sister couldn't be kept out of anything or anywhere, they were excited.
Then when Delhi was annihilated from orbit and a serious percentage of their subjects started having headaches and visions, they were terrified.
The Invaders started wiping out the largest population centers, and the world's governments started throwing every weapon they had at them short of nuclear weapons. Nothing worked to stop the attack, but a couple tiny ships were destroyed in orbit, and so the people were complacent for a while. Not the FERNS scientists though, oh no, they saw the news of dozens of people incapacitated by headaches on Invasion Day. They collected as many as they could, started filling them up with their serums, and strapping them into their electric chairs.
You don't think you were one of those, but you can't be sure. Your memories of those days aren't clear. You remember your government collapsing, and the Project finding you and your family in the mountains with an offer, but you don't know when that was. If any of you had the power to fight back against the Invaders there was room for you in a Project bunker — built in case of meteor collision, they'd protect your family as well as could be expected from the Invaders. As far as you could tell they'd been meant for the wealthy and powerful, but with humanity's survival at stake most ended up stocked with families like yours. You're pretty sure in hindsight that they were basically hostages, but they lived, so it was worth it.
You tested right. Or, did they do something to you to make you right? It's a blur. You shake your head, trying to clear the fog. You start to feel alert, but your eyes are heavy and stay closed. Your whole body tingles. Are you. . . waking up?
That's right. You lived through the war. You're not sure how many of you were left in the end, but it wasn't many. Still, you were better off than the Invaders, wiped out to the last. And you made it back to your family. To the bunker.
But how did you survive that hellish gauntlet?
Data Entry Error By Elisabeth Kensington Chapter 1 Courtney Taylor balled up his sweater and wedged it between the seat back and bus window. The vibrations of the bus no longer jostling his brain, he let his thoughts drift in hopes that his mind would relax enough to let him sleep. It was a long ride and good sleep would make it pass that much quicker. He thought about how all this came to be. The scholarship notice he found in the guidance office was...
MAID IN ERROR by enduringshades "Good morning Mr and Mrs Eddington, how are you both?" asked DCI Hunter. "Relieved now the trial is over, Chief Inspector," replied my wife Diane. We were shown into a meeting room by the DCI. A woman was sitting at the table. "Stella Brightman is our witness protection liaison officer," explained the DCI.

Birth Error is a story by JC.ARBY. The story is about twin brother and sister who develop secondary sexual characteristics of the opposite sex. The rest you should read yourself. Comments can be posted to [email protected] Birth error This is a brief story of what happened to me and my sister, years ago. In 1977 me and my twin sister Melissa were born. We both were just ordinary children, nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary. I grew up with the guys in the street, playing...
And then I died. I can hear screams in the background. They sound familiar. Are they mine? Why can I hear myself screaming in the distance? Where am I? Everything is dark and I can't feel my body. Is this the afterlife? "Do not be alarmed," a voice commands. I look around trying to discern where the voice has come from. It could have come from anywhere. I get no sense of direction or even space in this place, wherever it is. "We've made a terrible mistake. Can you hear us?" a...
Hello Friends, I am Vishank Shah.This is my first story and I will be pleased to get your feedbacks. Even a frienship request will be enjoyable. My Email id is I am new to this site but not new to the world of Sex. I used to keep reading stories on this site and keep thinking that when would I get such a chance to have sex with some one. But I did not know that my wish would be fullfilled so early. As I am engineering student and I was in my last semester of IT engineering and my projects were...

Quoted for 2 hours work and I’ve done 8 hours on this mess already.’ He sat back, reached for the drawer and began the ancient and ignoble art of rolling yet another cigarette. This done, he made for the outdoors. He would love to smoke inside, but had reluctantly limited his habit to the ‘fresh air’. The sun hit him as he walked outdoors, its effect immediate and striking. Shit, hey? What a roller coaster ride… He was supposed to be...
August 24, 1981, West Monroe, Ohio “Whoa!” I gasped. “It fits, Mike. And it explains everything that happened afterwards.” “Mom, Abby exhibits the same behavior. She basically offered to have sex with me when she said hello the first day, and Becky implied Abby has been doing that since she was twelve.” “Stay out of that Mike. That’s an issue for the van Dorns.” “Is it? Emmy told me that Abby was here earlier and that Liz and Abby were acting crazy so she left and went home.” “You think...
It had been several weeks since Courtney’s initial run in with Michael. It still haunted her when she closed her eyes. When her phone would ring unexpectedly, or she’d receive a text message at an awkward time, especially when she was home at night with Dylan, she would cringe as she would check her phone. Michael had successfully manipulated her mind and caused her to succumb to his control. She lived in fear that she would run into him unexpectedly and he would take her at a moment’s...
Sarah couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched from the moment she got onto the train car to go back to the city. As many times as she looked around, she couldn’t see anyone that would be following her. There was only an pair of ageing, gray-haired women, and a very young teenage boy with an enormous backpack that were also taking the one-am ride down into the city. When they finally reached the city, she was no more than a hundred feet from the station when the feeling began getting...
Sarah Kawkner was the average bully-magnet throughout School. People would pick on her mainly because of her last name. Even Teachers snickered, as they read her name out loud. Each day after Shool let out, she would look towards the Metropolis skyline, and see the giant statue of Superman. "Someday, I hope." Sarah foolishly said out loud. SPLASH! Milk cascaded down covering Sarah's head. "Look everyone, it's a wet Kawk!" Hollered, Kyle Peterson. Kyle was the self appointed 'Boss' of the...

My name is Kenny Watkins, and I'm 15 years old; I play baseball, and love it. I have a sister, Connie, 17. Connie is gorgeous, popular, and always has a couple of boys sniffing around her. I'm just a nerd jock; no girls, just Rosie. One day, I came home after practice and walked in the front door to find some jerk trying to get his hand in Connie's panties; they didn't see me at first, and I heard him saying, "Damn it, Connie; I know everyone who's fucked you or even got their hands in...
Why is she looking at me? Can she tell? Can she see through my coat and know what I wear beneath it? No, it's impossible. But is it? Gosh I sure hope it's my imagination. But there she did it again. Yes I am sure of it now. She's judging me, I just know it. What makes her so much better? That she can sit smugly in an empty subway car looking down at me. I'm just as good as she is! No, not really. She's a Nun, a woman of the faith. Still how can she tell I just got off work? Is...
I watched her walk into the room and she was as hot and as gorgeous as ever and I wondered just what she wanted to do to me now. To understand the situation you have to know the back story. It started when Joleen Thomas transferred into our high school in the tenth grade. Joleen was hot! Every guy in the school from the eighth grade to the twelfth had the screaming hots for the girl. So much so that they all asked her out. Even eighth and ninth graders ignored the age difference and tried,...
Marta planned to take the week off from exotic dancing, but Wednesday felt like such a relief, she decided to quit. She worked steadily five nights a week for years, even working six or seven nights in a row several times. She made money easily, her best friend worked with her and she had nothing else going. Joe changed the latter overwhelmingly. "I can't even imagine me without you, though it's been less than two weeks," realized Marta after hanging up the call quitting Choice. "Same...

Original story by Frankel Hopefully, it'll work THIS time. Cindy stood in the aisle waiting to do the new safety instructions as the plane prepared to take off. The new instructions were very complicated and she was worried that she would not remember them all. The captain had only just shown them to her in his hotel room before the flight. To tell the truth her jaw ached a little from them and she wasn’t sure how she would be able to do it in a real emergency. “Gentlemen,” said...

I waited by the door in the side hallway. She had to walk down there to go to the office where she planned to tell about me so I stayed put by the door. The door area was down a small hallway so I had plenty of space to hide and I knew she had an after school meeting that day, and seeing as how she already wasn't all that excited over telling about what I had done I knew she'd wait until the ery end. I stood there and waited, almost everyone was gone within 15 minutes after the last...
She was a masterpiece. She had the body of an athletic eighteen year old girl. Her red hair was smooth and soft and hung down over one of her closed eyelids. Her lightly tanned flesh had never been touched by human hands. Why would they send this one to the shredder? She lay nearly naked in the coffin like shipping box, her name prominintly on display over her head, Dani. Her C cup breasts heaved as the auto respiratory system inhaled and exhaled gently. The tiny red lacy panties they packaged...
BDSMThis is my first attempt ever to write a story, so it may not be as good as you would think. A couple of months ago, I decided it was time to get myself a few luxuries in life. Until now, I had been unable to act upon that decision because of work, school and family. However, today i am able to start acting on that decision. I thought it to be a good idea if I were to go to this new hotel in town. This new hotel was rumoured to give "extra special services" to the ones who asked for it. Nobody...
MatureHello, my fans, followers, and friends. I, Shivangi, am back with not a sex story but with one of the sexiest incident of my life. This took place a few days back when I was coming back to my home from Ahmedabad domestic airport. I went there to drop my hubby as he had to go to Delhi on an urgent basis and his driver was not available. I had to go with him to the airport. His flight was on schedule at 21:45. I dropped him early and was on my way home but due to traffic, I preferred to go...
I've been with Rose for almost three years, nothing was going to change the way I felt about her, nothing.It was New Years Eve when I found out, but only because she didn't want to keep any secrets from me. So it was New Years Eve, Rose and I were in the living room watching t.v. Rose was laying with her head on my shoulder and her legs were up on the coushin because the couch only had two seats, I wasn't complaining. Rose's dad Mike walked in, "Hey, do either of you two want a beer?" Mike was...
Author's notes - Thank you to everyone who reviews the first part. This part is slightly longer and feels like more exposition was necessary. I've tried to sneak in transformation scenes to maintain momentum over the last two parts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I was having a dream. At least, I was pretty sure I was. I was a man again, just like I was before all the insanity started. Before a spirit living in an ancient teapot gave my six...
“Please Denise, text me a picture of your sexy naked plump ass,” Rick pleaded.“No Rick, isn’t the picture I sent you of my ass in tight cut-off denim shorts enough?” Denise replied.“Please, I am so horny for you. It has been so long since I touched you or kissed you.”Denise was torn. She had been sexting her boyfriend for a while. She was getting into teasing him with provocative photos of her in shorts and a braless pink crop top. The downside to all this teasing and posing was that she was...
ReluctanceThe doorbell rang and Jean Baldwin opened her front door and let Linda Fairbanks inside. "Hi honey, how are you tonight?" "Just fine Mrs. Baldwin. Are you and Dr. Baldwin going someplace special?" "Well it's a hospital Christmas party and all my husbands' colleagues will be there, so I guess it's special." "Well you two have fun and I'll make sure that little Mark is fed and in bed on time." Amos Baldwin walked into the living room and saw that Linda had already arrived. "Hi...
In Philadelphia life was pretty dull, generally, but I did have one narrow escape, my own randy fault, of course. You would think I could occasionally ignore trouble, but this was really unavoidable. One cold night, as I was leaving a river-front tavern, I heard squeals from an alleyway and turned to investigate. Except for Magda's knife, I was weaponless, but I had seldom run into armed men around the taverns except for sailors and the passing patrols. All I could see was a flurry of white...

Why hurt yourself with anger when someone else makes a mistake? After over 2 years without having any contact with the O'Neal family at all, I was in my room at the Denver Rescue Mission. I had been given free room and board there. They said that they recognized my work on the streets of Denver and knew that I was integral in their own reach out to the homeless and helpless of Denver. For the past 22 months, somebody had been depositing $5,000 on the 4th day of the month, into my personal...
Courtney looked at him fearfully as he stood there. He had redressed himself. “Don’t waste time, Courtney. Get on the bed.” He repeated. Courtney reluctantly did as she was told, sitting in the middle of the bed. She stared back at him fearfully. “Now, how do I want to do this?” Michael asked aloud. “What will make Dylan crazy?” His voice turned sinister as he looked back at Courtney. Her green eyes widened in fear and panic as she looked back at Michael. “Please, don’t do this, Michael.”...
The late afternoon sunshine shone brightly into the office, blinding Courtney as she looked up. The sound of the door opening had caught her attention as she finished up a phone call. She smiled in the direction of the person who had come in, holding up her finger to signal that she’d be with them momentarily as she directed her attention back to the caller on the phone. She couldn’t see the customer as they stood there, just out of her view. From the corner of her eye, she could see that...
Dylan grabbed Courtney by the shoulders, shaking her awake. “Courtney, wake up!” He said, the urgency in his voice causing him to nearly yell at her as he kept desperately trying to wake her up. She shook fitfully, caught in a nightmare. She struggled as Dylan held onto her. As she continued to fight against him, a cry caught in her throat. “Courtney! Open your eyes! It’s me!” Dylan begged as he touched her face gently, pulling her close to him. Suddenly, she broke into tears as Dylan held...
“Do I own you, Courtney?” His voice was dark as he asked her quietly. “Are you mine?” “Yes, Michael.” Courtney replied softly. “You own me.” “Good girl.” He responded. “So now,” he continued, “we’re going to get a few things straightened out.” “Okay?” Courtney said, questioning his statement. “First thing, you’re going to withdraw the restraining order. You’re going to tell them that you don’t feel you need it since I haven’t been a threat.” He watched Courtney shudder nervously as the...

FantasyThere are no explicit descriptions of sex in this story. The computer devices and technology described are purely a product of my imagination. Although, to paraphrase what someone once said . . . . . ‘Yesterday’s science fiction is today’s reality’. So who can really say that they don’t already exist . . . somewhere. ‘The Agency’ is fictional but perhaps it isn’t. Who really knows what goes on hidden away from the eyes of the American public. Hopefully, the gremlins that attacked my last...
In response to several readers who wanted me to provide more details regarding the romance between Rick and Erika I’ve written this sequel. While it could be a stand alone story I strongly recommend that you read ‘Fighting Terrorism – Finding Love’ first. I hope you enjoy reading the sequel as much I did in writing it. I, also, wish to thank Blunajana for her help in correcting some of my German terms and translations. I hope they have all been addressed in this sequel. Thanks for reading...

Note - To all fans of "Cat and Mouse" (you know who you are!) Sorry for the unusual delay posting this chapter, but I've got a number of excuses I won't bore you with here. The most compelling reason is half way through this thing I realized it was going to be much longer than the other episodes unless I cut something out. Being a stubborn sort, I instead divided the episode into two parts and added a lot of exposition to this part. So what follows is about 50k of pure talk. I...
She smiled in contentment as she wrapped her hair in the big fluffy towel. The conference let out early this evening, and she was free. Her husband was back at home, and here she was in the great town of Las Vegas. She had consumed a nice dinner, had a nice swim in the indoor heated pool, and was nicely relaxed. A hot shower completed her evening. She intended to kick back and watch a movie on T.V. A knock on the door made her growl slightly. Who the hell could it be bothering her? She put on...
There’s a knock at my front door. The dog barks and wags her tail. She moves the curtain to the side with her muzzle to see the intruder. I look out of the window next to my door and see her. Beautiful natural blonde hair. The most gorgeous face you have ever seen. Not one flaw. Cheekbones, jaw line, nose. Exactly how I would make a woman in my dreams. And those eyes…….. light grey and stunning. They have such a strong, piercing gaze. Yet behind them I can see sadness and a wisdom that is...

Straight SexI knew we were in trouble when my wife stumbled out of the beer tent. She had texted me ten minutes ago, about an hour later than I was expecting. I was glad I was picking her up, because a stranger could easily have taken advantage of her condition. With halting steps sideways and forwards, she dropped her cell phone once, twice, three times, struggling to bend over to pick it up each time. She also struggled with her lit cigarette, and I was worried she would burn her finger. Finally she made...

THE TUNNEL OF TERRORIn the late summer, just before school started, Veronica always went to the state fair with her friends. This year she set off for the fair early one hot, summer morning with her friends, Jane and Diane. They laughed and talked all the two hour ride to get there. Arriving at the fair, they joined the crowd of people circling the dusty midway lined with food stands, rides, and other amusements. By late afternoon, the three of them were getting bored, until they stumbled...
Perhaps it is a primal instinct, born in a time when our ancestors huddled in caves for protection against noctural predators that posed a real and tangible threat to their very lives. Perhaps it is the darkness, a neutralizing of our primary sense that turns the otherwise familiar world around us into a world of shadows, a world of mystery, a world of the unknown. Perhaps it is the silence, a time of reflection on all the worries we managed to push to the back of our minds in the din...
My terror Janet L. Stickney [email protected] I felt the terror deep. Way down inside, searing my soul and sending shock waves through my body, making me shiver while sweat poured down my back. I stepped out into the cool night air expecting some relief, and there was, a little, until I heard the door slide open behind me. I froze, unwilling to see the face of my doom, yet, there was no way back in unless I turned around. I stood there, my hands clasped in front of my skirt, my...
It was late at night. A dark, misty fog covered the streets, which were only illuminated by flashing street lamps in a cold and dim light. The streets were empty and quiet. Only from far away one could hear the barking of street dogs, the humming of occasional cars passing by and other sounds that were impossible to specify. It was raining. A girl, 18 year old Nela, walked through the streets. Alone. Her hair wet from the rain, the cowl of her hoodie jacket pulled deep into her face and her...
They were still giggling when they entered Kerry’s house. As soon as the door was shut, Dearglil pushed Kerry up against the wall, kissing her hard on the lips. Kerry was surprised and caught unawares, but quickly got into it, returning the passionate kiss. Their school bags dropped to the floor as their arms wrapped around each other. Dearglil moved a hand between Kerry’s thighs, going straight for her pussy, delving into her pants to touch her mons. “You’re still moist.” “I...” “You’re...
Her parents were drinking again. Wendy hoped that there was enough for them to pass out. Especially her father. Fear kept her awake, listening to the clink of bottles. Subconsciously, her fingertips traced the bruise on her arm. The latest of many. The clock on the bedside table turned midnight, as she heard footsteps on the stairs. Don’t stop, don’t stop... She silently pleaded. The footsteps stopped. Maybe there was a chance... Her bedroom door opened, the bottom dragging heavily against...

Jenny drummed her fingers on the door panel as she reflected on the disastrous prom. Her mother had insisted on coming with her and had sat right beside her all evening. None of the boys had dared to come near. Her mother tried to talk with any that did in her annoying messed up English. What a disappointing end to her 18th birthday! Today Ling Hui (5’2”) had dressed in her best polyester Wal-Mart dress; a lovely form-fitting dress that zipped up the back. Unfortunately the dress had...
The woman was dressed in the traditional garb of a conservative Moslem Arab. Clad in black from head to toe, she was seated on a simple kitchen chair in an otherwise empty room. The curtains were drawn and there was no hint of light from beyond. Even her face was covered with the exception of her left eye. Her eye was dark brown. Her lash was long and thick and her eyebrow was an elegant arch. The little bit of skin that showed was of a light olive complexion. Yet, what showed was enough to...
Mideast tensions were at an all-time high--which was saying a lot. Every major Western government issued warnings about potential terrorist attacks. It was serious enough that the U.S. government actually sent troops to patrol the borders to keep terrorists out. They also doubled security at the airports and inspected every single ship that arrived in our ports and every cargo container they carried. What they hadn’t counted on were more than a thousand terrorists willing to die painful,...
