Lightning Striking

The rain is coming down so hard I am idling along. I can barely see the ram's head hood ornament on my ten year old Dodge Ram 1500 crew cab pickup. I'm trying to get home to my family; my loving wife Brenda and my children Jake and Susan. I'm Bill by the way. Bill Long, I'm 39 and I'm on my way home early since this storm I'm fighting has cancelled flights all over the area. I was due to fly up to Dallas from Austin on business, but first the Dallas airfields at Love and DFW were closed due to this storm. The storm was moving so fast that they thought it would be cleared up in a few hours so our flight was still scheduled, but we would be flying to El Paso and then to Oklahoma City and then back to Dallas.
That was the plan, but like all plans, once engaging the enemy, plans are now just something on paper or in your head. The enemy, of course, was this freak storm that occurred from out of nowhere in the mountains of Tucumcari, New Mexico and headed east southeast. My flight was scheduled for 4:40pm and I had driven my beat up looking truck to the airport so Brenda wouldn't have to leave work early. She worked at an accounting firm in North Austin. She had some special project she was working on and I figured who was going to bother with a beat up truck like mine in the parking lot.
My truck had seen a lot of wear and tear over the ten years I have owned it. I bought it new and for the first few years it was always neat, clean, and shiny. Then I helped a coworker move, and the bed got a little banged up and scratched. I realized then that it was a truck, a work truck, not a showpiece. So now it had some fender dings, a couple of places that had primer covering a place where some asshole had banged into it that I had fixed, but not had a chance to paint over. But the truck ran like a top, the Hemi purred like a kitten at idle but roared like a lion when I really gave it some gas.
The plan was changed and we were supposed to fly to maybe Memphis and then back to DFW, but that was cancelled when the storm got bigger. It was drawing air and moisture from the gulf, and wind from the northwest and just kept growing. By 6:15 all flights were cancelled out of ABIA (Austin Bergstrom International Airport) and I headed home while it was still fairly nice weather in far southeast Austin. I headed north up the 130 toll road toward Round Rock and I was doing pretty well, but the rain was starting to get harder the farther north I went. It was still okay to drive in, but when I got to the US290 exit, the rain really started in heavier. It seemed that by the next exit I was the only one on the road. By the time I got to the Gattis School Exit going east into Round Rock, I knew I was the only one on the road. I saw no cars and no headlights coming toward me either, but then too I could only see about two hundred feet in any direction.
The rain started getting harder and became sheets driven by the northwest wind and getting harder and harder to see anything. I had noticed lightning in the distance as I came up 130, but now it was flashing all around me and I was almost blinded by the light and the truck shook with the thunder. I had put my sunglasses on halfway up 130 to be able to cut the glare of the headlights and overhead lights at the exits reflecting off the road surface. It helped a great deal, but now with the lightning strikes and everything I was still blinded for seconds after a strike. By now I am barely crawling along at an idle. I got off Kelly Lane and onto Wilke Lane headed for my home on Indigo Trail off of Red Bud Lane.
By now I was less than two miles from home and safety. It was also close to 8:30 on my radio clock. I had just turned on Senna Ridge Trail when lightning struck a neighbor's tree and it fell to the road taking out his car in the street. No way to get around it, so I turned around and headed back the way I had come. I could go back and take either take Forest Ridge Blvd. or go all the way back to Lost Indigo Trail to get to the other side of Indigo and get home. The tree that came down was about two houses from the corner of Forest Ridge and Senna Ridge.
I drove up Forest Ridge and rounded the corner, looking for home at last. While trying to negotiate my way into my driveway I saw reflections of a car's tail lights in my headlights. There was a car in my driveway where I usually park my truck. Brenda's car would be in the garage and I usually park to the side of the drive where she could get her car out, but there was a car there, one I really didn't recognize. I wondered who could have come here knowing I was going to be gone for three days. Well I would find out in a hurry. I hit the garage door opener, and parked in the drive behind Brenda's car and hurried into the garage, getting soaked in the process. I wrote down the license number of the car on a scrap of lumber and then closed the garage door, just as thunder boomed out loudly. I shook myself off and tried to get some semblance of dry with some of my shop rags before I tracked all this water in the house. I knew Brenda would go ballistic if I got her carpet this wet. I stripped down to nothing and then grabbed a pair of shorts from the pile of laundry in the laundry room, and put them on. I then dried myself with a towel from there too, and opened the kitchen door. I was semidry and now shivering because I was still cold from the drenching I got coming into the garage. Who would have thought five hours ago it was 105 degrees out and my thermometer in the garage was pointing towards 35 when I came in; a seventy degree difference in just five hours.
I couldn't hear much as I walked into what seemed like an empty house. The timer light for the living room had come on, so we hadn't lost power yet, but it did seem as though I heard voices, the voices weren't coming from the dining room or the living room, or even our bedroom. It sounded more like coming from Jake's room, or down the hallway, but why from there.
I walked into the house, shivering from the cold and maybe a little from fear. I walked down the hallway to see Jake's door closed, but there was a light from under the door. I checked Susan's room as the door was open and no one was in that room. What the hell is going on? I crept up to Jake's door and listened and I could distinctly hear flesh slapping on flesh. Okay, if Susan was gone, then I knew Jake would be gone too, so that only left Brenda and the mysterious guest from the strange car. This was a definite case of home invasion and invasion of my wife.
I turned around and went back to our bedroom; our bedroom, probably not anymore, huh. But when I got there I reached under the nightstand drawer, and removed my M1911A1. I had made a holster for it and attached it to the top of the shelf there. I made sure it was loaded and I chambered a round. Then I crept back across the living room to the hallway and even through all the noise of the rain hitting the roof, I could hear them still going at it. I checked the door knob and the door was not locked, so I slowly turned the knob and opened the door a crack. There in Jake's bed lay my Brenda with some guy on top of her pumping away to his heart's content. Her eyes were glazed over and her arms were being held above her head with one of his hands as he was pounding away. The bed was along the back wall of the room so their profile was what I could see. The guy was about our age, late 30's, or early 40's and he looked in decent shape and from what I could tell he had a nice long cock, but not as big around as mine. Mine's like six and half inches long but almost two and a half inches wide. His looked to be better than six inches long as that much came out on his up stroke, but it looked to only be about an inch wide. Enough of this shit; I opened the door and pointed the gun at the guy's torso and said calmly, "Please stop what you are doing to my wife before I blow a hole big enough in your body to drive my truck through."
Brenda looked at me and then turned her head away, and pushed the guy off slurring, "Get off me before he shoots us both."
"My, ain't this a pretty picture! I go away on business and my wife moves some asshole into MY house and then fucks him on my son's bed. Are you too tired of fucking him on our bed Brenda? So are you playing musical beds now? Was Susan's bed next, or was it going to be the dining room table; or how about the couch in the living room? Well Brenda what do you have to say for yourself? I noticed that the kids are gone. Did they go to my folk's house down the way so they could still go to school while you shack up with asshole here? Well answer me you slut!"
Asshole started to speak when I pulled the trigger and shot about a foot above his head. The noise was deafening. He fainted and so did Brenda, driving his cock into her again. They had not even disjoined while I was talking to them. I walked over to the asshole and pulled him off my wife and onto the floor. I looked at the small hole in the back wall and figured I had one hell of a hole outside, but right now that didn't bother me, I could fix that later. Right now I had to see if I could fix my marriage.
I sat in Jake's desk chair and tapped asshole on the head with the barrel of my gun saying, "Wakey wakey, it's time to wake up and face the music." Music, that reminded me of a song I really liked, it was a country song called "Guilty as Can Be" by Cody Johnson. There's a lyric there that goes:
" ... And if murderin' a man who didn't understand
Just what she meant to me
Means I'll rot right here in this cell for eternity
Well then mister I'm as guilty as can be
Well I wish I had me a picture of what his face looked like
When I kicked in my bedroom door and raised my 45
See I ain't the kind to hurt a woman and I hope you understand
But someone's got to die today
Son it looks like you're the man"
They both came around and I loved that phrase so I said it verbatim and pointed the gun at Mr. Asshole. He could see I was tightening my trigger finger when he dropped again in a dead faint. I looked at Brenda and said, "Okay, who is Mr. Asshole that you have let into MY HOUSE and allowed him to have something that only belongs to me? Well, answer me or do you want me to shoot you too and the kids won't have a mother or father, you slut!"
"Bill, it's not like that. Please just put the gun away. And I'm not a slut!"
"What is your definition of a slut, Bren? Is it some skanky whore who charges for blow jobs and pussy or ass? No, that is a whore. She charges her men for sex. A slut just fucks for the fun of it; no money changes hands and she enjoys the hell out of fucking other people. Now a wife can be a slut for her husband and allow him any kind of sex he and she wants, but once someone outside the marriage comes into it, she is no longer a wife slut -- she becomes a slut wife. You see the difference Bren? Now what are you if not a slut wife since you brought Mr. Asshole into our house and allowed him privileges that are supposed to be only for your husband. What does that make you other than a slut wife? For now why don't you go into the bathroom and get dressed? Stay there until I tell you to do anything more. Understand? You just lost sex privileges with me until further notice. Now git!"
Brenda slowly got up from the bed, grabbed her clothes, and ran out of the room. Mr. Asshole was coming around again and I put my cold bare foot on his back, which woke him a little faster. He did stay where he was, though. "Mr. Asshole, you got a name?"
"Yes, it's Jeremy Ironsides. Look I really shouldn't be here. I should be home with my wife and children comforting them with all this weather. They are really afraid of thunder storms. If you just let me go, I will never say anything and I'll never approach Brenda again."
"Okay Jeremy, how do you know Brenda?"
"She works for me at the Friendly and Associates. I have been trying for months to get Brenda to let me come home with her or to go somewhere where we could be alone. She is so beautiful and sexy and she gets me so hot all the time at work. I just had to have her. I'm sure you of all people can understand the desires men have about your wife. She is the personification of the sexy wife; someone every man wishes he had at home waiting for him. I'm so very sorry that I talked her into tonight, but you have to see that I just had to have her at least once. Please don't kill me, I beg of you."
"Well Jeremy, why don't you get dressed and meet me in the dining room and we can discuss the pros and cons about just shooting you and leaving you in some out of the way place in your car for the cops to find sometime later. I know of several roads that go nowhere and I could leave you there for days before someone finds you. Until then I think I need the keys to your car. Hand them over."
I knew he couldn't leave by the front door because it sticks real badly during rainy weather, and there is a trick to lifting and turning the key in the dead bolt just so or you'll never open the door. Now sure the key is hanging right there in the opening we call church windows between the entrance way and the dining room. There are four openings that are shaped kind of like stained glass windows in a church. The base and the sides up to almost the top are straight, and then there is a very high arch in the top six inches of the opening giving the effect of a church window.
So Jeremy grabbed his pants from the floor, and got his keys and handed them to me. He then started getting dressed. I left the room, and walked into the kid's bathroom and said to Brenda as she sat on the commode, "Jeremy and I are going to have a nice long talk about a few things Babe. You get dressed again and stay in Jake's room for a while. I'll come get you, but first I think you need to decide if you want to stay in this house or leave with Jeremy. I'll get to you in a little while." I didn't hear an answer.
The storm outside was just starting to lessen in fury and there were fewer lightning strikes and the thunder was less and seemed farther away. Even the rain seemed to have let up some. I sat at the table across from Jeremy. I just looked at him, I mean really looked at him to see if I could discern why Brenda would let this guy fuck her. He was handsome, I guess, tall and fit, but then so was I tall, and fit.
I had to be, due to my job. I was the marketing and operations manager for Pflugerville Plastics, a small manufacturing firm in Pflugerville. I ran all over that production floor probably ten to twenty times a day and then it was in and out of meetings with the salesmen and customers all day long. Sure, I worked some overtime a few times a month and I needed to travel for a couple of days once a month or so, but by and large I was home every evening and I loved on my wife and kids. I made good money, in the 95k a year range, plus the 65 a year that Brenda brought home, we lived pretty well. We lived in an upscale neighborhood about two or three miles from my folks. Brenda's family lived in Dripping Springs about 50 miles from our home.
So, looking at Jeremy, I just couldn't see why Brenda had strayed. "Okay Jeremy, why don't you explain how you ended up here in MY home, fucking MY wife tonight."
"Where should I start? It's kind of a long story."
"Start like any story, start at the beginning and tell me everything that you did to get my wife to cuckold me tonight when I was supposed to be away on a business trip. But first one question: was tonight the very first time you had any sexual contact with my wife?"
"Other than coping a feel of her ass and her boob once each and a couple of kisses, nothing until tonight."
Damn I almost shot the bastard right there in the dining room. I didn't, but it was a real close call. I had brought the gun up from the table and pointed right at his chest. It was steady as a rock and then it wavered a bit and I lay it down again. However, I still had a firm grip on the gun. Now that he felt that I wouldn't shoot him, he was getting a little arrogant and cocky.
"It all started about six months ago, at the Christmas party. You had not showed up yet, and I caught Brenda near the mistletoe and I kissed her. She slapped my face and told me to leave her alone before she told her husband about what I had just done. I had been lusting after her for months by then and this was the first opportunity for me to get close enough to try something. I would never try anything at work; there are too many people around Brenda's desk for me to feel comfortable showing any affection toward her.
"Shortly after that moment, you showed up a little late and Brenda was never alone after that. Then after the new year, I tried to talk to her more often, calling her into my office and talking about work, but I kept working on her telling her how beautiful she was, complimenting her on her clothes, her work, anything to get her to at least like me a little and to apologize for my actions at the Christmas party. A month ago she started to come around and then is when I felt her ass as she leaned over my desk to look at some figures on my laptop. She just picked up my hand, and put it on the desk and said something about me being a naughty boy. Once that happened, I knew I could have her if I just kept working on her.
"Then two weeks ago, I guess you two had a fight of some sort as she was upset when she came in to work. I called her into my office and closed the door. I asked what was wrong and she said that you were mad because she bought a new bikini for the summer. You had said it was too small for a woman her age and a mother to boot. She was upset and started to cry about your harsh words to her. That is when I held her and I was able to feel her left breast. She didn't notice it for a few minutes and then she playfully slapped my hand and said I shouldn't do that. I removed my hand immediately, but not before I felt such a tingle in my hand that I just knew I would have her.
"Then today, she was all upset about you leaving in such a hurry to Dallas for something. She had planned a nice weekend for you two and you had to ruin it by flying to Dallas for three days and not coming home until late Saturday evening. She had made plans with reservations at an upscale restaurant in Austin and then dancing at the Forest Creek Country Club. But this was scheduled for Friday evening and now everything was ruined. It was going to be a surprise for your birthday next week. She couldn't schedule what she wanted that week, so she had to back it up a week, when she could get the reservations and the club has a dance that night with old swing and waltz music. The next week was going to be popular music. So this all stems from you Bill, you caused this to happen with your emergency trip to Dallas."
"Not so fast Jeremy. You didn't explain how you got to be here tonight."
"Well, this is where I'm not sure why, but Brenda asked me to follow her home tonight. She said she had called your parents and they were to pick up the kids and keep them a day early. That you were going to start celebrating a day earlier than planned. You know the rest, but she didn't let me into your bedroom, she said we had to use her son's room only. That's it until you came home and shot a hole in the wall. So can I leave now and go home to my wife and children?"
"Not quite yet. Just sit tight and don't go anywhere. If you try to leave I'll shoot you in the back and swear you were a burglar. Do we understand each other?"
"Yes Bill, we understand each other. When you shot over my head I could tell that murder was in your eyes and I still see that emotion as well as a set determination that I feel would be harmful to my continued good health if I tried anything."
"Very good answer, Jeremy. Just sit tight and I'll be right back."
I went into the garage, and got some zip ties and was right back in less than a minute. I zip tied Jeremy's hands and feet to the dining room chair. Except for the seat of wood the whole chair was wrought iron. I didn't make the ties too tight, but tight enough that he couldn't get loose. I then went to Jake's room to confront my cheating slut wife.
I could tell that Brenda had done exactly what I had asked because with the light from Jake's room I could see the shadow of her walking from the bathroom to Jake's room. I didn't see any other shadow other than the one where she went into Jake's room. I think she was too frightened and she seemed docile and complied with my orders or requests.
I had arrived in the doorway to Jake's room when I heard a slight commotion from the dining room. I walked slowly back down the hall and peeked around the corner and saw Jeremy twisting in his bonds trying unsuccessfully to extricate himself from the zip ties. In fact it looked like he had tightened the tie on his right wrist to the point of pain. I snuck up behind him, and put the gun barrel behind his ear and asked, "Going somewhere Jer? And look, you have messed up your restraints and made this one tighter," I said, as I pulled his right wrist against the tie. "Let me fix that for you Jeremy. I would hate for you to have bruises on your wrists from all of your struggling. You just might get a jury to believe I didn't treat you nice as a guest in my home."
I took a small jewelers screwdriver from the table top, and loosened his tie enough to allow for circulation, and then I pocketed the screwdriver. "Now, no more shenanigans and I will let you leave here tonight. Harmed or unharmed depends upon what my wife tells me. Now, one last time. Is everything you told me the truth?"
"Please Bill, there is nothing else. Let me leave and I will transfer to another section and never interact with her again. I promise. If I can't transfer, I will see if I can get Brenda transferred to another section with a raise. Please let me go. I don't want to die."
"What makes you think you're going to die tonight, Jer? I've already said that if Brenda's story matches yours you go free, right? So tell me Jer, do you have anything different to tell me than what I heard a little while ago?"
"I think that I may have forgotten to mention that I gave Brenda a little something to relax her, right before we were leaving work."
"Oh, so now you admit to needing a little help getting my wife to cooperate and be your bed partner, huh? Well I guess that does put a different spin on things. I may not kill you tonight, but you might have to suffer a little pain just for lying to me, and maybe a bit more pain for drugging my wife, too. I'll let you know later what will happen to you. Sit tight and don't try to get loose. Just remember what happened last time and I'm not sure how long it will take to get her story out of her. You might lose your hands or feet if you tighten those ties up too tight. I'll be back in a little bit."
I left Jeremy and waited a couple of minutes and didn't hear any more commotion, so I went into Jakes' room and sat down where I had been before in the desk chair. Brenda was curled up in a fetal position on Jake's bed crying softly. Just seeing her there all vulnerable got me to thinking of when we first met.
I first met Brenda during a blind date; no, not with me. I was going with this girl Susan Wright and she needed a date for her girlfriend from back home in Dripping Springs. We were at Texas State, down in San Marcos, Texas. I was a junior in their Business Management program and Susan was in a lot of my classes. She was a junior, too. Anyway, Brenda Donnell was her girlfriend who I hadn't met yet and she needed a date, so I cajoled my roommate Dale Lucky into going with me as Brenda's date. Anyway, we get to their dorm and we meet Susan and Brenda. Brenda was 5'-8", about 100 pounds and built like a dream. She kinda reminded me of a homespun girl from back in the country. You know a good old country girl. I've found that as she has aged, she resembles the country singer Taylor Swift. She's a blonde, with nice long, silky hair, and a cute face and a killer body, just like Taylor. But when we met, Taylor wasn't popular yet, so I had no comparison. But I knew that somehow and in some way I was going to win that girl for my own.
We double dated a couple of times and Susan could see that I was smitten and so was Brenda. The next time I called Susan, I asked her if she would be mad at me if we quit being a couple. She said, "What took you so long, doofus? I figured that we'd swap dates before the first date was over. It was quite obvious to Dale and me that you two were only interested in each other. So, I suppose that you want to talk to Brenda."
"Only, if you're okay with this. I don't want any hard feelings on your part about this break up. I like you a lot Susan and if I had never met Brenda, I think we would have been extremely happy for the rest of our lives together."
"God, you sweet talkin' devil you. I always knew that you could talk the birds from the trees; but to talk me out of loving you; that takes the cake. I'll get Brenda for you. And Bill, remember this date and time; because someday I'm going to ask you for something. I don't know when or why, but you'll owe me big time. Just you remember this, right?"
"Susan, I'll remember this day forever. Whenever you need me, I'll be there for you, no matter what."
That was the start of a wonderful ten years together, until tonight, that is. We dated exclusively for the rest of our time in school and we got married in September after we graduated in May. Surprisingly, we both found work almost immediately. By Independence Day, we were both working. The next year Brenda called me at work and said, "Hey Daddy, guess what?"
"We're pregnant, right?"
"Yes isn't that great news? I can't wait to get you home so we can get more practice in."
"I'm thrilled too, darling. I can't wait either. I love you sweetheart. See you tonight."
I was mulling over in my mind all the highlights of our life together; the night we met, our wedding; where we promised to be together forever; and our children being born, their first days of school. I looked over at Brenda as she lay on our son's bed and I cried for the third time in my adult life. The first two times were when our children were born and I cried tears of joy, but tonight it was tears of sadness. Brenda came over to me and said, "Bill, I love you more than I can ever say and I really don't understand what happened tonight. You know I would never do this thing that happened tonight. I just don't understand. I never have liked that sleazy Jeremy, but somehow he was very attentive and he talked his way into my mind and I let him violate me and I can never ever forget that look on your face when you spoke to us. You looked like you had lost your best friend. I'm so sorry, Bill. I'll leave and go to my folk's house. You don't ever have to see me again. I'll go pack now."
"Bren, Honey, you just sit back down on Jake's bed. We need to talk about this now before anyone leaves. Okay?"
She nodded her head yes and sat back down.
"Okay, so tell me everything, starting at the Christmas party where I was late."
Brenda's Story:
"Bill it starts even further back than that. Jeremy has been leering and ogling me since he started almost a year ago. He replaced Henry Windom when he retired. He had been at another branch of the office. I think he said he came from Chicago. Anyway, he immediately went through all the single ladies at work and then started hitting on the married ones. Since he was our supervisor it was hard to ignore his pestering. But let's face it. Most accountants are men, all the upper management are men and they all stick together. He is buddy-buddy with Charles Burke the manager of HR, so no complaints go any further than his office. Several women have tried to go further and complain, but it gets swept under the rug in upper management. Anyway, all that happened before the Christmas party.
Brenda went on to explain everything pretty much as Jeremy explained it although she did add the revulsion of him touching her and holding her during the crying scene in his office about the bikini episode. But when we came to today, here is where the stories differed.
"Jeremy could tell I was upset about you calling me to say you had to go to Dallas for three days. I had this surprise all worked out for Friday night at Franco's Italian restaurant. Do you know how hard it is to get reservations there? Well it's damn near impossible, but I managed it. I was planning this for next week, but they had a change of the band at the country club and I knew you would never be comfortable with popular music and the swing band would be this weekend. So once that was set I got the reservations at Franco's. Well, when you called I was devastated. I know it was a surprise and I had things all planned out. Then you leaving because of work and everything, I broke down. Jeremy took me into his office about four and he calmed me down after I told him the whole thing. He offered me some cola he went out to get and I drank it all down. Then the next thing I remember is coming home and Jeremy following me into the house. He tried to kiss me once we were inside and was pulling me toward our bedroom. I said no, not that room and I let him lead me in to Jake's room. I still don't know how he got my clothes off and then he was on top of me and he was..."

Rivera is bordered to the north by a high mountain range with wild wastes beyond, the west by an endless, uncharted forest and to the south and east lies the ocean.

FantasyNovember 4, 2009 Yankee Stadium Bronx, New York The din from the crowd approached a deafening roar as Mariano Rivera, the New York Yankees' peerless relief ace, went into his stretch, about to deliver the tenth pitch of a tense at-bat to Shane Victorino, the Philadelphia Phillies' center fielder. With the count full, Victorino swung at Rivera's cut fastball, managing only a soft ground ball in the direction of Robinson Cano, the Yankees' second baseman. Cano fielded the ball cleanly,...
LIGHTNING REVEALS ALL It is raining outside. We can hear the drops pelt against the glass window panes and beat a staccato rhythm on the roof. The room is lit by the glow of a dying fire in the fireplace. Occasionally, we are illuminated by a flash of lightning, followed by the low rumbling of thunder that we can feel resonate in our bones. Your head is lying on my chest, with your hair tickling my skin. My right arm encircles you, my fingers lightly stroking the soft skin of your back. Time...

Straight SexJuly 10, 2007 I don't usually remember my dreams very well, unless I happen to wake up in the middle of one. However, the night after we decided to take part in the band competition in New Jersey, I had a dream unlike any I'd ever had before. It was so vivid, and so detailed, it didn't seem like a dream at all. In it, I was an observer. I merely took in the happenings around me, with the people appearing like actors in a play. I was positioned inside what appeared to be a hotel lobby...
June 30, 1983 (continued) The three of us, seated around the tiny dinner table, picked away at our food. Both Evie and Inez, sensing that I wanted to discuss something, had remained mostly silent. They were clearly affording me the chance to open up to them. But when I didn't immediately seize the opening, Evie decided to speak up. "Pat," she said in a voice that was soothing yet firm, "you're being unusually quiet. In fact, you seemed a little off last night at practice, too. What's...
October 13, 1984 After a meeting among the six of us, we decided to take the following weekend off. It wasn't that big of a deal; it was a rare weekend where our only scheduled gig was on Friday. The lone booking was a show at an off-campus pub; Holly and Annie merely re-booked us for early December. My early ruminations about throwing in the towel quickly faded; as scary as the Ron Wilton situation had been, quitting would have been a gross over-reaction. However, a substantial perspective...
April 22, 1985 It was yet another Monday afternoon; I rested there in Inez's bed, with her in my arms, the both of us just having come down from the high of lovemaking. She was almost back to being herself; her sensitive nature didn't hold up well to an onslaught like Eileen had leveled upon her, and soothing her psyche had been a long and drawn-out process. Even though no resolution to the impasse was in sight, I felt hopeful that my sweetie would be just fine. "Do you love me, mi...
July 29, 1985 "We'll be doing this again in a few weeks, when it's my turn to move," I muttered to Paul, as he and I struggled under the weight of the sofa. "So, I'll owe you." Dave, meanwhile, came up and grabbed one corner. "Come on, you wimps. It's not that heavy," he cackled. Dennis directed traffic as we brought the couch down from the van – the same one Lightning in a Bottle had been using for the last couple of years to haul our band equipment. It was now serving a new...
September 12, 2007 They resumed two nights after I disposed of the bottle in the Pacific Ocean. They were unexpected, a little frightening, and quite a bit intriguing. They were the Dreams, and they were back. This time, they appeared to illustrate my life in the original timeline, as if I had never gone back! They were different in some ways from the dreams that both my beloved and I had experienced many weeks ago. They were not your typical lucid dreams; what was truly strange was that I...
"I never did it on top. Just with Kevin, but we never did anything like this. It's too much. I've never been mindless or just floating in another place for so long. I've had enough," she whispered breathlessly. With that he said, "Lie next to me, precious. I am going to roll over." She stretched out and he rolled on top of her getting on his knees as he put a pillow under her hips. He put both arms around her and covered her mouth with his and thrust his tongue in her. Then, he...
August 1980 The summer began to wind down, and the countdown until the first day of school began. I found myself a job. I washed dishes at a nearby diner during the dinner shift, which was from 5p.m. to 10p.m. I worked three nights a week, and all day on Saturday. It was a fairly long walk from home, but I got used to it. Many times, either Mom or Dad picked me up at the end of the shift. Not exactly the type of work I'd grown accustomed to in my other life, but I was a teenager now, and I...
December 4, 1984 Thanksgiving break came and went. A chain reaction of family obligations resulted in Inez and me not being together on Thanksgiving. Dave's uncle, who lived a couple of hours away in Pennsylvania, was holding an extravagant Thanksgiving bash. Eileen really wanted to go, and Dad and Mom reluctantly agreed to allow her to do so. Meanwhile, there was another large affair planned at the Andrade residence. Naturally, both Inez and I were invited. "You know what my Tio Raul's...
September 1, 2007 (continued) I paused for a minute to collect my wits. Then, I faced George, not at all confrontationally, but seeking answers. "Okay," I began. "It's obvious you know quite a bit about us – about me – and the secret I have. Either you overheard a conversation of ours, or you're a time traveler yourself." "Please excuse me," said a remorseful-sounding George. "I didn't mean to frighten you. But I have some things to share with you that are of vital importance, and...
Being me is pretty hard seeing as I can electrocute any living being upon contact and as an added bonus (which is good) I can control electricity at my will and absorb or distribute it. Ok I know that sounds really cool I mean who wouldn’t want to control lightning at their very will but imagine it going out of control and blacking out an entire city because you where hungry and couldn’t see in the dark so you decide to turn on the lights but accidentally eat and entire city’s worth of...
“Master.” Hal didn’t want to hear the voice. He didn’t want anything to intrude on whatever level of life he was now floating on. Eyes closed, a bed of unbelievable softness underneath him, the distant but comforting sounds of Josephine’s claws scratching on the dirt floor — and, best of all, the utterly satisfying feeling of having had his seed thoroughly drained out of his balls by the expert mouth of a beautiful woman. “Master.” He was...
Nina had worn the maxi dress in anticipation that it would be Zach who would be sliding it off her. She had laid in bed that morning, her fingers sliding over her moist slit in anticipation. In typical fashion, Zach had called at the last minute to say he was going biking with some buddies of his. She had been pissed and disappointed and not just a little hurt. Zach was such a typical child!Nina had wandered through the farmers’ market alone, her blonde hair flowing behind her. Eyes had turned...
Straight SexI was concentrating very hard on not screaming that I looked out the airplane window and I could see that it was starting to rain. It grew darker outside and I could of sworn I saw lightning out of the corner of my eye. It was getting hard for me to breathe so it felt good that the air was blowing above me and towards my head. How did I get here? I wondered to myself. I felt chills down my back the more Tommy moved his fingers inside me. I looked over to Gabriel and he was dead asleep...
Reluctance"God, Sheila, I got the best scrubbing. Maybe I'll get another chance," and moved back against her. "You'll get more than that before I'm through with you, and another chance, too." Then, Sheila turned Kelly around and kissed her avidly as their slippery breasts comingled in a long soapy slippery hug. "You made me feel wonderful, Kelly. I love being here with you." How can I not kiss her again? "That may be the best I ever had." Through a steamy fog on the mirror they saw their...
The morning Sheila had to go, she pulled Kelly into the double shower. Kelly soaped her and looked with her blue eyes directly into Sheila's, then engulfed Sheila in her arms and said, "Give me your tongue." They nourished on kisses and tongues and naked wet soapy bodies throbbing. Sheila ran her hands down Kelly's back to her ass and teased her slippery anus. When she put her finger slightly in then out several times, Kelly's ass clinched and her hips thrust in excitement. Then, Sheila...
December 10, 1980 November turned into December; Thanksgiving passed and Christmas approached. Patti and Evie were regular visitors in our house every Saturday. I was proud of myself for arranging that weekly get-together; it was proving to be quite beneficial not only for myself and both of them, but for my family as well. I continued to focus on my school work. I believed things were improving drastically, especially in French class, where Patti's assistance had given me a big boost. The...
February 11, 1983 We had a show scheduled for this evening; we'd booked a Friday night slot at one of the campus pubs. It was to be my first gig with Lightning in a Bottle that wasn't specifically for friends and family. But it didn't happen. Oh, don't get the wrong idea. It wasn't because of any misdeeds on my part, or a resumption of intra-band discontent. Not this time. Rather, the blame fell squarely on Mother Nature. The snow started falling early that afternoon, and within a few...
August 19, 1984 "You know that guy who's been trying to get my attention all summer? The one that tries to talk to me after almost every show?" Evie, who'd been uncharacteristically quiet and pensive, had finally decided to open up. It was a Sunday evening; we'd done an afternoon show, and the three of us were now lounging around in the apartment that Evie shared with my girlfriend. Inez and I had been trying to draw Evie out, which was a task that we'd never needed to undertake...
October 25, 1986 It would be trite to say that things went back to normal after the wedding and the honeymoon. We certainly settled back into a routine, but things were different now. This was a new normal, a "normal" enhanced with the knowledge that we were living the life we'd dreamed about for so long. At work, the status quo persisted. I put in my forty-hour weeks, resigning myself to the fact that I'd be working there for a while longer. My investments were certainly paying off,...
The Masked Bandit StrikesGuess what? Scarlett Secret has a fan. But not just any Fan, we are talking about a lunatic fanatic with boundary issues. While relaxing in the house without a care in the world, Scarlett goes into the bathroom to shake the dew off of her lily and hears a curious sound. Scarlett does't know that there is a Masked Man in her house waiting in the shadows ready to pounce on that ass and Fuck the out of her.. She thinks its a game and quickly finds out it is not. At least...

They say lightning doesn’t strike twice, but I can honestly say, “sometimes it does.” It was a lazy Saturday afternoon. My wife Kara and I had just finished lunch. I was going to hit the gym and then take care of a few errands that needed to be done. Kara, knowing that I tend to lose track of time when I’m out of the house, had invited her friend Michelle over to hang out and have a drink. Michelle is a thin brunette with long hair and blue-green eyes. She’s a very natural looking girl, I...

Group SexEverything that could have gone wrong this morning did go wrong. We were rushing to the airport to catch our flight. Gabriel whined the whole way there saying that we were late because of me. I was so worn out by Gabriel’s bad attitude for like the past week now that I didn’t want to argue with him. I don’t know what was bothering him, but I could tell you this, I was not about to let him ruin my trip to Arizona. We boarded the plane and looked for our seats and out of the blue I got...
ReluctanceShe went home to call Greg. "I went to the hospital to see Madeline. She was very helpful and she is one of your real fans." She sighed audibly. "I felt much better after talking to her. She is a gold mine of information." "She is a princess. What she says she will do, she does. That's so rare in volunteers. Everyone wants her for committee work. She adopted me when my wife left." Before she thought, she blurted emotionally, "Why did she leave you?" After a long silence on the...
Thanksgiving 1982 It was decided that we would have our first band practice the second Friday after Thanksgiving break at the home of Inez's uncle and aunt. This would give Inez a couple of extra weeks to recover fully. We'd ease back into it slowly, perhaps having a couple more practices before Christmas. Of course, we all had final exams to wade through as well, except, of course, Eileen. We'd try to get together over winter break a couple of times, and then hit the ground running as...
May 2, 1983 Life went on. I caught sight of Julia multiple times over the next several days; she said nothing to me, and made it a point to avert her eyes whenever I was in the vicinity. It was next to impossible not to run into her frequently, for every time I entered or exited the dorm, it was necessary to pass by her room. It continued to amaze me how her feelings toward me had changed that much, that fast. And it annoyed me to no end that I'd never really gotten a proper explanation for...
June 2, 1983 "Could I speak to Larry Weatherby, please?" I asked the receptionist as soon as she picked up the phone. "One moment," she intoned, before putting me on hold. I waited for a couple of minutes. The recipient of this call, a good friend of mine in the other timeline, and a not-quite-as-close friend in this one, was presumably being summoned from somewhere in the warehouse. I recalled that the prevailing policy was rather lax about phone calls while working, and I knew I...
July 26, 1983 I was having yet another long-overdue discussion with Inez and Evie. But the subject matter was different this time; much more earthy and lowbrow. They were telling me about their experiences with fighting off male groupies. They'd regaled me with tales of socially challenged, lovelorn dudes who'd wandered into their midst, and meekly asked for dates. I'd also heard more disturbing stories about drunken schlubs who staggered up on stage after shows, and boasted of their...
August 7, 1983 This morning, I slept in fairly late; a typical Sunday morning, but different from most in the sense that we didn't have a show later. At about eleven-thirty, I was puttering around the apartment, while Dennis was lounging out in front of the TV, watching something on ESPN. The phone rang, and I answered it. "Hey dude," Dave told me in an excited voice, "get your ass down to the store, and pick up today's Star-Ledger." "Why?" I asked him, intensely...
August 20, 1983 "Well, here we go," said Dennis with a laugh. "We may be about to make complete asses out of ourselves. But either way, it should be one hell of an interesting time." It was around eleven-thirty in the morning; the wedding ceremony was scheduled to get underway at one o'clock. Dennis was behind the wheel of his car, with me in the passenger seat. We were on our way over to Mayra's place to pick up our dates. Both of us were of course wearing suits; I chose to...
September 6, 1983 "Her name is Heather," Seamus told me over the phone, "and she's, like, really, really hot." As soon as those words tumbled out of his mouth, I had misgivings. He, of course, was talking about the source of the "girl issues" of which Dad had spoken. "I ran into her one day at the pool," my brother went on. "Pat, she had on this incredible bikini. We got to talking, and we've been hanging out a lot lately. She's starting ninth grade at St. James, just like me....
October 13, 1983 It was late afternoon; I was through with classes for the day. I was on my way out of the apartment, bound for practice, when the phone rang. I considered ignoring it and continuing onward, but thought better of it. Upon answering, I was greeted by a most welcome voice. "So, Mr. O'Malley, what's this I hear about you? Someone else is calling you 'Dreamy' now?" "Patti!" I exclaimed. Then I laughed as I told her, "It sure sounds like you've been talking to a...
Christmas 1983 For those who are fortunate enough to have both a significant other and strong family ties, the holiday season usually means spending time with two different families. That's not always the case, however. For Inez and me, it meant visiting with my family, her family ... and her family away from home. That's right, three families in all. We spent Christmas Eve with Inez's adopted family in New Jersey, the Andrades. It was a small get-together, just Señor and Señora...
March 25, 1984 Clearwater, Florida It was a clear Sunday afternoon, albeit a not particularly warm one. Indeed, it was quite cool for late March in this part of the world. But some of the most characteristic sounds of spring were well in evidence: the sound of a wooden bat making contact with a cowhide-encased ball, and the distinctive splat of the ball hitting a leather glove. All of this, of course, was part of my girlfriend's Christmas gift from three months ago. Inez and I had flown...
December 22, 1985 Puerto Rico "Warm weather during the holidays is becoming an annual tradition," I said to Inez, a content smile on my face. The midday tropical sun was beating down on us as we made our way through the San Juan airport parking lot, toting our luggage. "That's one more amazing change in my life since I met you." She favored me with a sweet smile, before replying, "This kind of weather around Christmas is pretty much all I've ever known." "That goes for me, too,...
January 11, 1986 Early January is often a depressing time of the year. This year, however, was drastically different. True, in many respects it was back to the same old grind, with twelve-hour workdays, and not seeing Inez nearly as much as I'd have liked. But there was a fundamental change in my state of mind; my view was toward the future, and everything in the present was nothing more than passing time. It was a time for dreaming, for imagining the possibilities and challenges of...
May 5, 1986 Most weekday evenings, when I didn't have to work late, I got home before Inez did. Even if she didn't have a late class, she normally got together with her study partners during the late afternoon and early evening. Jason and Valerie (who had just gotten engaged themselves) continued to be wonderfully accommodating, and gladly went along with Inez's preference not to have any late-night study sessions. This evening, I arrived home ahead of her as usual, and started to get...
August 5, 1989 "Three years ago, almost to the day, in this very hall," I began, holding out my champagne glass, "the shoe was on the other foot. As many of you know, the groom here served as best man when I exchanged vows with my lovely wife. At our reception, Dave recited a toast that was hilariously funny and touchingly heartfelt at the same time. And I'm here to tell you all, it's gonna be hard for me to match it." I shot a wink at Inez, and then faced Dave, wearing a fake...
After living together for a couple of months, I woke up one morning to Janice's puking her guts out. I waited for her to get in bed before I asked, "Are you ill, or are you pregnant?" "What if I was?" she said throwing it back at me. "Well, I would be very happy, but I would also be very worried," I replied. "Why would you be worried?" my sister asked back. "Well, you know — siblings having babies, and stories of babies with birth defects of some kind — that kind of worried," I...
Tracey: Tracey lives in a relatively quiet neighborhood. One that until recently had never known much in the way of crime. A spate of house break-ins in the immediate surroundings had seen many of the residents arm their homes with the latest in home protection. This new technology came with a hefty price tag, but it also came highly recommended. After learning that those who had the home security installed already and were all more than pleased with it's performance and that they felt...
August 1808 The ships of the inshore squadron kept their vigil over the months of July and then August, and they caught a few more blockade runners. The French skippers became more crafty over time, or perhaps the less crafty had been weeded out, and they clung more closely to the coast. The French also installed more batteries along the coastline to give their shipping better protection. As Thomas knew, this was even good for the British. The guns placed along this coast – first...
Two more months passed and the day of the wedding crept inevitably closer. Suits and dresses were ordered and made, and Samantha arrived accompanied by a smiling Amanda for the rehearsals. Tony was worried. It seemed all too realistic for his liking. Much as he loved Rota, somehow his whole being balked at the thought of what seemed an arranged marriage. He knew now he really wanted to marry her properly, but he wanted to do it in his own time, and make it something very special. "I thought...
_*Author’s Note: Since I’m a hideous incompetent who should be whipped through town with a leather belt, I have made two unforgivable errors. Firstly, the first chapter of this series erroneously stated that it begins June 3rd when this adventure begins on January 3rd! Secondly, I stated that there was a Kingdom of Caladon. Alas! The city of Caladon is the capital of the Kingdom of Arland. But with these things corrected, on with the adventure.*_ Standing outside of an inn’s back room while...
My uncle was a whole lot of fun. I was almost 18 and a frisky pretty thing: nice boobs, a slender figure, I kept my blondish hair trimmed short and whenever he visited we would do our little wrestling and tickling game. Then he would have a few beers, lounge around and talk with my parents. He was a nice looking older man and deep inside I wondered what it would be like to “be” with an older, more mature man…so I had my little girl fantasies but I wasn’t all that little any more. Besides,...
Ragini had the perfect life. A husband, two kids and a beautiful home. Her husband’s highly paying job meant she had everything she ever desired. Or did she? By far, the most gorgeous woman in her kitty group, building society, and neighborhood meant receiving attention from everywhere. Even here domestic help. Her voluptuous figure and fleshy waist were perhaps more inviting than her beautiful home. But so much time alone had begun to wear her down. Forever clad in a sari, Ragini never missed...
My sister Anne (she's the religious one in the family) tells me that I am a whore. I love her dearly, but what does she know? She's twenty-eight and still a virgin. It was my own fault though. I never should have taken Alan anyplace where someone who knows me could have seen us together, but see us together Anne did, kissing and hugging, and the next day she demanded to know what I was doing. When you have been caught there is no use in denying so I told her I was spending some quality time...
Over the next three months, Don Antonio Ruiz de Costa became a frequent visitor at the Carters’ home. He and Eleanor spent an increasing amount of time together and it was clear to everyone that their mutual infatuation increased with each visit. Harriet Carter did not insist on the presence of a chaperone anymore since she had come to trust the young man. Harriet had also developed a strong level of understanding with Antonio’s mother and she often accompanied Eleanor when she visited the...
It was about an hour later that Anne-Marie returned home accompanied by the glamorous Fraulein Helga. Tony was feeling guilty over his sojourn with Janine, but he quickly recognized that Anne-Marie was showing distinct signs of tension. He was highly intrigued by the glamorous blonde Fraulein Helga, and he reflected that Anne-Marie had never told him she had such a glamorous sister in law. They had both came in shaking their umbrellas from the afternoon rain, and Tony was a little surprised...
Tracy and Alex decided to visit one of the biggest amusement parks in the area Wednesday for the day. They were driving on the main freeway through town when a 'poor little rich kid' high on drugs plowed his pickup truck head long into their car. Their car flipped over trapping them inside the overturned car. It took the rescue team and paramedics two hours to extract them from the car and get them to the hospital. In the ER the staff started to work on them immediately. They were severely...
Catastrophic news came through from the corporate ship Io. There had been one hell of an accident. The entire docking section of their ship was blown out into space all the way from the core outward. The ship was crippled. Their cryogenic gas dewars had been damaged. They were getting low on air and they were calling for rescue. Earth had nothing of the scale required or that could make it to the outer belt in time. Every great mining ship in the system immediately set course for their last...
David was excited as he drove the Bronco to Phoenix. Udit and Brennan were with him on the trip. Udit felt like Avasa was the daughter that he never had. He also felt responsible for Ava since he was not able to save her father and husband. Udit didn't feel it was right for Ava to travel without a chaperone. He didn't believe a man anxious for her company and a stranger qualified as proper chaperones. "Besides," he convinced himself. "I've been stuck up in these mountains while...
