“Why the family meeting, Jen?” I asked as all of the adults were gathered in the great room on Thursday evening.
“We’re going to need to find some new babysitters.”
“Uh-oh,” Elyse said. “What happened?”
Josie laughed, “No, nothing like that. Nothing bad. April is getting married. It seems she found herself in the family way!”
“Oops,” I chuckled. “Is this her steady boyfriend?”
“Donny? Yes. She’s due sometime in late April or early May. But you haven’t heard the best part!”
“The best part?” Elyse asked.
“Triplets!” Jennifer said, as she and Josie started laughing.
“Oh my God!” Abbie gasped. “That’s nuts!”
“Uhm, I thought she was on the Pill,” I said, nervously.
“She was,” Josie said. “But recently she’s been having this odd swelling in her feet, so she was taking St. John’s Wort.”
“You can’t take that with the Pill!” Jessica objected. “It counteracts the effects!”
“Obviously!” Josie giggled. “And April never mentioned to her doctor she was taking that herbal supplement.”
“Unbelievable!” I said, shaking my head.
“Did you ask Keisha about her and Jill covering the other week each month?” Kara asked.
“Yes,” Jennifer said, “but High School girls aren’t really interested in giving up another Saturday night during their Senior year, especially with all the stuff that goes on in the Spring before graduation. And remember, they’ll most likely be gone by the end of the summer. Both of them have applied to colleges that are either out-of-state or far enough from Chicago that they couldn’t be reliably available.”
“What’s the plan?” Jessica asked.
“I didn’t have one,” Jennifer replied. “That’s why the meeting. Most of our friends don’t have teenagers, and neither do most of yours, meaning all of you.”
“What about some of the college girls who hang around on Sundays for the Rap Sessions?” Abbie asked. “Or maybe Leslie? I think she might be willing to babysit once a month. She loves all of the kids.”
“She seems like a pretty together girl,” Jessica said. “She’s a High School Senior, though, so does that help?”
“I guess not, now that you mention it,” Abbie said. “She’s applied to Purdue as her first choice.”
“Why not ask Keisha and Jill?” Elyse said. “They have to have friends who are Sophomores at this point. If we found the right girls, they could sit for a couple of years before we have to replace them.”
“I’m curious,” Josie asked. “But how old do the kids have to be before they don’t need sitters?”
“Old enough for the oldest ones to properly watch out for the youngest ones,” Jessica said. “And I think that means we need a pair of sitters until Ashley is at least four. Jesse would be nine, Matthew and Kristin eight, and Birgit seven. Even that’s pushing it a bit, I think.”
“Sure,” I agreed, “but at that point, with no diapers and the kids able to eat by themselves, and mostly wash themselves and put themselves to bed, you could get away with a single babysitter instead of a pair. But that’s four years from now. What do we do now?”
“I’ll talk to Keisha and Jill next week, since this weekend is the Guys’ breakfast,” Jennifer said. “And take it from there. Sarah and April are available until probably March, but Sarah doesn’t want to take primary responsibility, so when April is done, she’s done, too.”
“Ask Keisha about her younger siblings,” I said. “I don’t know their ages or if they’re boys or girls.”
“Good idea,” Jennifer said.
“Are we forgetting Gerry?” Jessica asked.
I laughed, “No, but he, Jesse, and Matthew would get so engrossed in Nintendo, the other kids could burn the house down and he’d miss it! You’ve seen him when Al and Belinda come over!”
“It’s true,” Jennifer said. “When those guys are playing video games, the world could end and they wouldn’t notice so long as the electricity stayed on! Let me talk with Keisha and Jill and see what I can come up with.”
December 6, 1991, Chicago, Illinois and en route to Blue Ash, Ohio
“Have fun in Ohio,” Jessica said at the entrance to the ER.
“Oh yes, because the counseling session with Doctor Mercer tomorrow morning is going to be loads of fun,” I sighed.
“Even after the surprise phone call on Wednesday night?”
“OK. THAT part will be fun,” I chuckled. “I haven’t seen her in ages. But even so, she has her firm rules just as I do!”
“Did you decide what to do about Bethany?” Jessica asked.
“The answer to that is the exact same one I gave you last night before we fell asleep. I’m still leaning heavily in the direction of keeping the agreement she and I made that day she asked me to stay with her after Nick died. This is one of those decisions that you can’t take back, no matter how badly things go.”
“We trust you, Tiger. Kara and I told you that last night.”
“Yes, but I don’t trust myself.”
“Well, have fun, say ‘hi’ to Nicholas and Bethany for me and I’ll see you Sunday evening. Is she staying for a couple of days?”
“That’s the plan. She’ll go home on Wednesday morning.”
I gave Jessica a very soft kiss, then watched her walk into the ER. I took Kara’s hand in mine, and we started on the way home.
“I hear you’re the object of lust of every male Freshman chemistry student at UofC,” I teased.
“Where did you hear THAT?”
“From Crystal, on Tuesday,” I chuckled. “I had thought about not mentioning it, but I find it amusing.”
“You’ve seen how I dress for teaching!”
“Kara, you could wear a burlap sack and eighteen-year-old boys would drool over you! Probably some girls, too!”
“But I’m married and have kids!” she protested.
“So, you’re Mrs. Robinson!” I laughed. “Or the friend’s mom they’d want to fuck!”
“Like Trudy Spencer?” Kara smirked.
“Yes, like Trudy Spencer! But I refrained. Barely. But I think that proves the point, don’t you?”
“Yes. You didn’t do it only because of your rule. Otherwise, you would have done it.”
“In a heartbeat,” I acknowledged.
“You just did it again, Snuggle Bear.”
“What?”
“Violated your no ‘What if?’ rule.”
I sighed, “Yes, at times I will say things like that that technically violate it, but it’s different from someone straight up asking the ‘What if?’ question and asking for an answer. Do you see the difference?”
“I suppose. But I think you might want to relax a bit on that. Not from the standpoint of trying to change the outcome of the past, but from analyzing your behavior. Don’t you do that when you write in your journal?”
“Sure, but analyzing what I did and why I did it, is different from saying that if I’d done something different I could predict the result.”
“So explain that with regard to Trudy.”
“See, that’s the problem. If I hadn’t had the rule in place, I might well have had sex with Melanie when she was with Pete, or somehow wrecked my relationship with Melanie or both of them in another, and then never had the chance to be with Trudy. In other words, without the rule, the situation might not even have occurred to give me the chance to violate it! It’s that endless backwards string of events that makes that kind of speculation silly.”
“That makes sense. There’s no way to just sort of flip that one bit, if you will, and leave all the others exactly as they are, since so many things happened beforehand.”
“Kara, where the heck did you come up with ‘flip one bit’?” I chuckled.
“You do know chemists use computers, don’t you? Do you think somewhere along the way I might have learned just a wee bit about some of your precious technology secrets?”
“Never mind,” I said, laughing. “But you see why I don’t like doing speculating that way?”
“Yes. It’s like asking what would have happened if Angela had never told Jessica that Al was her father. All history would change in ways that we wouldn’t even begin to be able to predict.”
“Exactly. Maybe the whole ‘multiverse’ theory is right, and every single decision actually occurs, splitting reality at that point. And maybe we could find a way to peer into those realities. But the problem is, simply observing them changes them, and as such, we have no idea what would have happened if that thread went unobserved.”
“You could drive yourself crazy with that speculation!”
“Bingo. Now apply it backwards.”
“You win,” Kara said firmly. “And I don’t mean that as in ‘fine, shut up’, but that you’ve made your point perfectly, at least to my satisfaction.”
We arrived back at the house and I exercised, showered, had breakfast, then packed my weekender bag. I made sure to say goodbye to the kids, kissed Kara, then headed for Meigs Field. I pulled into the parking lot and saw a familiar figure pre-flighting a Piper Archer. I grabbed my bag, locked the BMW, and walked through the gate.
“Hi, Aimee!” I called out.
“Steve!” she exclaimed and ran over and literally jumped into my arms.
I was glad I’d dropped the bag as soon as she ran towards me. I caught her, hugged her, and we exchanged a quick, chaste kiss, then I put her down.
“That’s it? That’s the greeting you give a sailor come home from war?”
I chuckled, pulled her to me, and did my best to recreate the Times Square photo from VJ-Day. The French kiss was, well, friendly, not sexy, which was an interesting feeling. Though it still stirred certain feelings! I released her and she gasped for breath.
“Better!” she grinned. “We’re almost ready. I just need a last weather check and we’re out of here!”
Aimee went into the operations building and was back less than ten minutes later. She grabbed my bag and tossed it into the plane. She finished whatever she had been doing outside the plane for her pre-flight, climbed in, and I got in, put on the headset, and buckled myself in. Eight minutes later, we were turning east over Lake Michigan. Ten minutes after that, we were level at altitude.
“Your aircraft,” she said over the headset and pointed to the controls.
“Uh, are you sure?” I asked.
“If you can’t do THIS, you’re useless! Keep the plane on this heading and maintain this altitude. Watch this,” she pointed to the artificial horizon,” and this,” she pointed to the altimeter, “and watch out for anything flying near us.”
I gingerly took the controls.
“Jesus, Steve! It’s not a fucking egg! You used to handle ME more roughly than that!”
“Yeah, but you don’t fly into the ground at 200MPH if I make a mistake!”
“Just hold it like you would the steering wheel in your car. It’s close enough. Got it?”
“Got it,” I said.
“Then say, ‘my aircraft’.”
“My aircraft.”
She took her hands from the yoke.
“Good. How are you doing?”
“Overall? Or right now? Because right now I’m more than a little occupied!”
“You can walk and chew gum at the same time, right?”
“Yes!”
“Then you can fly this tiny plane straight and level while you talk to me!”
“Yes, ma’am, Ensign Shaughnessy, ma’am!” I chuckled. “So what is combat really like?”
“Who knows? I sat in the CIC and watched computer screens and radar screens, and told petty officers to push buttons and make radio calls.”
“Even so, that’s still a hell of a lot closer than I’ve ever been, and I hope I’ll ever be.”
“I think I can tell you our carrier group fired some of the first cruise missiles of the war. It was a really strange feeling to do that and then see the BDA imagery later on.”
“BDA imagery?”
“Battle Damage Assessment. Pictures of what you hit.”
“What were your targets?”
“I can’t tell you specifics, but military stuff. That first night was all military targets. I did get into trouble though.”
“Oh?”
“The Commander took issue with me. I said I felt the earth move when a cruiser near us fired some missiles and asked the First Class who was working the radio if it was good for him, too.”
I laughed hard and accidentally pushed forward on the yoke.
“Steve!” Aimee said sharply. “Pay attention! Ease back gently and climb a bit, then level off.”
“Sorry,” I said, doing what she’d asked.
“Better.”
“You probably should have waited to tell me that story until we were on the ground!”
“We’re coming up on a turn. Do NOT use the rudder pedals. Just make a very slight right turn. Watch the gauges and come to 160°, at the same altitude. If you find yourself losing altitude, make a VERY gentle correction. No jerky, sharp movements. Got it?”
“Yes, ma’am,” I replied.
“So, I got chewed out, but that was the end of it. I guess the Navy frowns on sexual innuendo these days. It’s too bad, because I’d rather be seen as one of the guys than as the chick who was the first woman in the USS Blue Ridge CIC. I can tell a salty story with the best of them!”
I chuckled, “I bet you can! Did you get any shore leave?”
“Where? Some Muslim country that would flip out if they saw me in my shorts and t-shirt? Or in my bathing suit? I was only ashore long enough to get a flight home for my leave. Right now, we’re helping monitor the ‘no-fly’ zone in Iraq.”
“How’d you manage to get leave?”
“I hadn’t used any since I left the Academy. Combat operations are over, so I could put in for it. It was approved, and here I am!”
“You said you’re going back to the Gulf at the end of next week?”
“Yes. MAC flight to Germany, then to Dhahran, then out to the ship. I’ll take the controls.”
“Pilot’s aircraft,” I said releasing the yoke.
“My aircraft,” she confirmed. “Not bad. I’ll let you fly some more on the way home. I don’t want to overload you. It’s too easy to make mistakes until you learn to properly concentrate.”
“Like most things in life,” I said.
“You said you have plans for tonight and tomorrow morning, but you’re free after that?”
“Yes. Bethany and I are having dinner tonight, and then tomorrow morning I have a meeting. My original flight home was mid-afternoon, so nobody in Milford expected me to be around after lunch.”
“Good. I’ll pick you up at Bethany’s house at 1:00pm, if that’s OK.”
“Sure.”
We chatted the rest of the way to Blue Ash. After we landed and she checked the plane and tied it down, we got into her cherry-red Supra and she took me to Bethany’s house. We exchanged a quick, chaste kiss, and I got out of the car. I waved as Aimee pulled away, and then went in the front door.

“Uncle Steve!” Nicholas called out.
“Hey, Nicholas! How are you?”
“Good! Mama at work!”
“I know. She’ll be home later!”
Once upon a time, in a far off land, there was a beautiful flame-haired princess who lived by the sea. Although she was fiercely intelligent and challenging and had the most wonderful smile and eyes that lit up every room she entered, and put a beautiful song into the heart of everyone who spoke to her, she was sad inside. She could remember the happy person she could be, but she didn’t know how to find her any more. She remembered what she did when she was happy, and so she repeated those...
The Magical Sailor Fuku Copyrighted 2000 by Champina Please ask permission before posting to any site=) Eric nearly tripped over the large package waiting in the doorway. He had been daydreaming again and hadn't noticed it until it was almost too late. As usual he had been daydreaming about anime and manga. Dreaming what it would be like to fight like Goku, Ryu or even Chun Li. Eric was even willing to cross the gender boundaries in his day dreams. Some of his fantasy...
Towards the beginning of the year 1838, two young men belonging to the first society of Paris, the Vicomte Albert de Morcerf and the Baron Franz d'Epinay, were at Florence. They had agreed to see the Carnival at Rome that year, and that Franz, who for the last three or four years had inhabited Italy, should act as cicerone to Albert. As it is no inconsiderable affair to spend the Carnival at Rome, especially when you have no great desire to sleep on the Piazza del Popolo, or the Campo...
“Stand over here by this park bench. I have to go across Decatur Avenue onto the dock and meet him. It will be rough. He was quite crude and demanding in our e-mail exchanges. He’s been at sea for months. But it’s a lot of money—for both of us. And good experience for you when we do this again. It’s OK with you, isn’t it, Harry?” I looked up into Jake’s face. “Yes, it’s OK,” I said. And it was OK. I’d give Jake anything he wanted as long as he liked me and was good to me. I hadn’t had an older...

There is a refrain from a song that keeps playing over and over in my head. I don't even remember for sure where it came from. I think it was something from the Kingston Trio back in the mid to late Sixties although I wouldn't bet on it. It goes: "What to do with a drunken sailor, what to do with a drunken sailor, what to do with a drunken sailor early in the morning." What planted the refrain in my mind? As some one once said — "Therein lies the tale." Kate and I have been married a...
Some may call it a battle. But really, it wasn’t a battle at all. In the battle you have two (or more) sites fighting each other. But this was something totally different. You could call it a hunt, perhaps. And Sailor Scouts would call it their worst nightmare. Moments before they were fighting another demon that invaded Tokyo. Their everyday work, nothing unusual. But during that fight something strange happened. Thick mist covered whole area. Sailor Scouts were sure it’s demon’s work. Moments...
May 15, 1992, Glencoe, Illinois “Join me in my study, if you would,” Noel Spurgeon said when we finished our dessert. It had been an interesting evening. Samantha and I had talked for a bit before we’d been summoned to dinner. The meal had been prepared by a chef and was served by a white-coated young man. Again, this was a far cry from Lois at the van Hoeks’ house. What wasn’t a far cry was the fact that I was having dinner with a man who knew I was going to be sleeping with his daughter...
“Jerry, Winter Harbour, Thursday night, Be there! - Brandy” _______________________________________________________________________________________________ I must have read that note thirty times before the message sank into my head. Brandy had left without so much as a “Good-bye”. Even just a hint of why she’d sailed out of the cove so early in the morning would have made me feel better. Winter Harbour. Shit, how I hated that place. With the draft of my 32-foot sloop, the only...
Moonlight reflected in smiling ripples that formed a silver pathway stretching to the horizon. The night turned her telescope around on me, belittled me, shrank me into inconsequentiality. Out here, on an endless ocean beneath an infinite sky, I was no longer an I, was not even a dot on an i. I was nothing. No matter how hard I tried, I was still nothing. And yet, somehow, I could be anything. The vastness freed me, liberated me. My young heart pounded with the primal thrill of it. My...
Straight Sex"Jerry, Winter Harbour, Thursday night. Be there! Brandy" I must have read that note thirty times before the message sank into my head. Brandy had left without so much as a "Good-bye". Even just a hint of why she'd sailed out of the cove so early in the morning would have made me feel better. Winter Harbour. Shit, how I hated that place. With the draft of my 32-foot sloop, the only way that I could safely enter or leave that harbour was at high tide, just as it turned. At any other...
Before you jump to any conclusions let me make it things very clear.I am not an athlete by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I find sporting events to be rather boring.I would much rather attend a Theatrical performance or a lecture on European artist then the latest sports game. To put it very bluntly I guess you could say I am a complete and total nerd. My favorite thing to do is to go to the local bookstores That are located in my town. The best time to go to the bookstores and my...
This story a fictional account of something that happened to me. It is the way I have always wished the story went. I had been stationed aboard the USS Eversail a year and a half when Jerry reported aboard. I worked in engineering and he was a Quartermaster. I had seen him around the ship a few times and thought he was too girly for me. Then one night on the mess deck eating dinner alone, he slipped into the booth facing me. "Hi, my name is Jerry". He sounded so affeminate as he spoke. My...
The Sailor and the Cursed Djinn by Pretzelgirl The following is a fragment of a story dating from the eighth century A.D., perhaps originally intended as one of the "Thousand and One Arabian Nights." This particular tale, of a hapless sailor not unlike the famed Sinbad, comes from a rare translation of an incomplete Persian work entitled "Hazar Afsana" -- a collection of middle-eastern folk legends widely believed to have served as the basis for the later "Arabian Nights"...
My first time was totally unplanned, and I didn't even know the guy before we met that night. I had dropped my mom off at the airport, and while we were waiting before she went through security, I noticed a sailor wearing dress blues who had just come through the security gate and was on his way to pick up his bags. We made eye contact and he smiled at me, a big grin that made me melt inside. After saying good bye to my mom, I turned to walk away when he came up to me and started a...
First TimeAuthor's Note: The final chapter. This series ended up being short. I like it that way. Sailor Girl by Hazel M Deirdre stared at her reflection in the dresser mirror. There were still some traces of Derek, but they were barely noticeable. It was three days since Cathy had blackmailed her. She figured, if she was going to be girl, she might as well enjoy herself. She had taken some time off to make a few changes. The woman in the mirror was slightly more voluptuous than two days...
June 23, 1994, Oguni, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan My first week in Japan flew by, and a routine developed. Sakurako would wake me; I’d exercise and run, then shower and have breakfast, and share tea with Sakurako. After breakfast, I’d meditate, and then have my training session. After lunch, I’d work in the garden, or, as I had this day, wash the floors in the house. Hiroshi would accompany me back to the cottage and we’d talk while I washed up and dressed for dinner. After dinner, I’d spend...
After all the discussions and bedtime talk it was time for me to push things a little further to actually happening. An American navy fleet came to town from the Middle East unleashing some 5,000 sailors onto the city. I suggested Monica should have a girls night out.After all the bed time talk and confessing of my fantasy to see the woman I loved with other men and Monica somewhat taking an interest, or should I say more than an interest, in the possibly of getting it together with a man other...
After all the bed time talk and confessing of my fantasy to see the woman I loved with other men and Nicolette somewhat taking an interest, or should I say more than an interest, in the possibly of getting it together with a man other than her husband. The American navy fleet was to spend a few days of R&R in our city on their way back to the States. I suggested to Nicolette that perhaps her and her best friend at the time should perhaps hit the town together. Now I’m certainly sure...
June 15, 1994, Chicago, Illinois “That’s everything, I think,” I said. “My luggage is in the trunk of the car, I have my passport, tickets, and money, both dollars and yen. I can’t think of anything else.” “I’ll see you in five weeks,” Elyse said, giving me a quick hug. “Did you see they rioted in Vancouver last night because they lost the Stanley Cup?” I chuckled, “Only Canadians would riot when they LOSE the Cup! I did see that on the front page of the Trib. Are we ready?” “Michelle and...
Weekend With 12 Sailors By JenniferThe weekend after Sally and I returned from Camp Shady Oaks our husbands, Bill and Dan, had planned something very special for Sally and me. We had shown our husbands the candid photos of what took place at camp, and Dan and I agreed that there were some pretty hot shots. Everyone had to work on Saturday during the day. , so Dan and I walked down to Bill's and Sally's house at 5:00 PM. When Dan said that he was wearing a sportcoat, slacks and a sport shirt,...
August 1981, Chicago, Illinois On Sunday morning, I made my usual call to Karin. I described everything in the apartment and all the things I’d done during the week, including the reception. Both of us would start school in a week and we were both looking forward to it. When we finished talking, I went out for my run, showered, and ate breakfast. I made some tea, started a load of laundry, and then turned on the stereo. I put on an REO Speedwagon album and then relaxed on the couch with the...
The morning sun broke through a crack in the curtains, flooding her naked body that lay on the bed. The sunlight hit her back and ass; warming it from the early morning chill. Melody stirred, still half asleep reaching over hoping to find a warm body next to her in bed. She found that there was no one there. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the clock, it was already a little past nine thirty, she must have not heard the alarm go off. She rolled over on her back, and opened her eyes...
August 21, 1989, Chicago, Illinois “Unbelievable,” I said when I read the headline from the Chicago Tribune. “It says here that Solidarity activist Tadeusz Mazowiecki was nominated to be Prime Minister of Poland.” I hadn’t had a chance to read the paper on Sunday because it hadn’t been delivered before we left for the race track in Michigan. “So now what?” Kara asked. “We’re in totally uncharted territory. Your guess is as good as anyone’s right about now.” “Steve, do you have a minute?”...
I was down to the dock early as the ship which had been to sea for almost ten months was just coming in for two weeks. I wanted a horny sailor bad. I could just imagine how they were being without sex for all those months. I wanted him for the whole two weeks to keep naked and play kinky.I had dressed like I was ready to be picked up. No bra, a flimsy silk top and short skirt wih no panties. I watched as the sailors got on the dock. I was looking for the one who had no one there to pick him up....
World War II - Year 1942 A Summer Evening... now so far away in my distant memory I can barely recall. Mostly... , I remember the closeness and the warm intimate feeling between the two of us as my youngest Aunt—Aunt Jeannie and I slowly meandered along the gravel road late that memorable summer evening so long ago. After a short walk, we came to Porter's Lane, which angled off toward a beautiful wooded area. Strolling a short distance down the Lane we came to the old makeshift bridge that...
July, 1983, Chicago, Illinois I woke up early on the First of July, because my body clock was still set to Swedish time. The flight back had been long but uneventful, and I was happy that the businessman in the seat next to me hadn’t wanted to talk. I read, wrote some longhand journal entries, ate, and generally relaxed while the plane zipped over the Atlantic. I’d come home, taken a sauna, eaten a light meal, and gone straight to bed, not bothering to check messages, look at the mail that...
June 1977 When I got home, I grabbed a Coke and some chips and went right to my room. I didn’t think I could deal with my parents or Jeff or Stephanie. I just needed to be by myself. That wouldn’t seem odd to anyone, because I often went to my room to read. In addition, I now had the TV I’d received for my birthday. I flipped it on to WXIX Channel 19 and reruns of Gilligan’s Island and Green Acres played in the background while I read. I had to get my mind clear for the final exams that...
July, 1982, Milford, Ohio I woke up early on Friday morning to make breakfast for Kara and her mom before she went to work. Mrs. Blanchard was surprised, but very pleased. After her mom left for work, Kara gave me a fierce kiss. “Thanks for staying in and cooking breakfast for us,” Kara said. “I hope that doesn’t cause you trouble with Stephanie, with you breaking your normal routine.” “Don’t worry about it,” I said, kissing her back. “We got in a bit later than I expected, and she’ll...
July, 1983, Chicago, Illinois After Rosie left, I stripped the sheets from my bed, as well as the cover of the duvet, and tossed everything into the washing machine. I lit a lavender candle in the room, and then swept and dusted. I did a quick spot-check of the rest of the house and noticed that the tub in the sauna needed to be cleaned. I scrubbed it, then mopped the sauna floor with a damp sponge mop. I finished cleaning the sauna about the time the washing machine finished, so I moved...
May 26, 1991, Iron Mountain, Michigan “Shall we see if we can find a farm?” I asked at breakfast on Sunday morning. “That sounds like a great idea,” Jessica said. “There’s a visitor’s bureau in town,” Kara said. “I saw it when we were here the first time.” “I’m sorry I ruined that vacation,” Jessica said. “Ruined?” I protested. “Are you kidding? Getting you back was way more important than a few days of vacation!” “I agree,” Kara added. “Jess, you know exactly how bad off Steve was...
August, 1984, Chicago, Illinois The rest of the week proceeded as expected - class on Wednesday, as well as the usual visit from Penny, work on Thursday, and class on Friday. Kara and I had lunch together at IIT, Sofia practiced her driving and parking, and I hung out with Mark Agnini after class for beers. Staci and I got into a couple of interesting debates about the Old Testament that Mark had to break up to allow others in the class to participate. She was very much of the ‘directly...
March 25, 2000, Chicago, Illinois “What time do I need to have you home?” “8:00pm will be fine,” Misty replied. “My parents are in Normal visiting my brother at Illinois State. They aren’t supposed to be home before 10:00pm.” Misty and I were in my car on the way to the NIKA apartment which, fortunately, was not being used. With our expansion, it was in more or less regular use, and that meant I didn’t have access to it as often as I would have liked. I was glad there had been a delay in...
January 17, 1989, Chicago, Illinois “What time do you have to leave this morning?” Kara asked as we showered together on Tuesday morning. “About 8:30am,” I said. “I’m driving over to get Jeri, then heading to O’Hare. We have an 11:00am flight. Assuming all goes well, we’ll be in the office by 3:00pm Pacific time. We’ll spend a couple hours going over the software then go to dinner. The demo is tomorrow. Our flight back on Thursday leaves LA at 11:00am, so we’ll be home by 8:00pm, I...
June 1977 Friday ended up being a non-event. The more I thought about it, the more I was sure that there was no way on this earth I could say what happened between Birgit and me was a sin. Calling it a sin would debase it into a meaningless act. I could never do that. And the more I thought about Jennie McGrath, the more sure I was that I couldn’t call what she did for me a sin, either. If the church was right, I was going to hell. And frankly, there was no way that could be true. So I...
July 22, 2000, Chicago, Illinois “Albert, do you have everything packed?” Mom asked. “Yes, Mom!” I replied, rolling my eyes because she’d asked before I went to bed. “He’ll be fine, Babe,” Dad said. “Let’s walk to the hospital.” I usually didn’t get up early, but Dad had suggested it would help Mom if I walked to the hospital with her because I was leaving to see Jane for three weeks. Mom, Dad, Aunt Kara and I left the house and headed down the sidewalk towards the hospital where Mom and...
May 14, 1997, Chicago, Illinois “Start talking!” Melanie demanded when I sat down in her office about an hour later. “There isn’t much to say. Katya found the information for me when I asked her to look into several things about Brandon Littleton, Kevin Lomax, and John Milton.” “Do you know more about him?” “A LOT more. I don’t think you want to know.” “Probably not, but I’m your criminal defense attorney, and even though San Antonio doesn’t have you involved in this, you know the CPD...
“So, how should we do these Stone’s songs?” Phil asked at our rehearsal session. “I think we all know the music, we just need to come up with a pretty awesome arrangement; we don’t want to sound like yet another cheap cover band.” “I had some ideas, if it’s okay for me to make some suggestions,” Allison said. “Of course it is,” Phil said. “Everyone can have a say, there’s no rule that says you can’t participate in the discussion.” “Thanks, Phil, I guess being the newest here, I’m a bit...
May 11, 1992, Chicago, Illinois Monday was turning out to be a LONG day. After my run and talk with Gina, and my talk with Elyse, I had a full day at the office scheduled. First was our leadership meeting in the morning, and then I had status meetings with each team. At lunch I’d gone to see Siobhán and explained that I was going to break off the sexual relationship, but that I wanted to remain friends. She was disappointed, but admitted that Thursday would have been the last time, since she...
January 19, 1989, En-Route from LAX to ORD When the engines of the plane started, Jeri reached over and took my hand. She held it while we pushed away from the gate, and taxied for takeoff. Her grip tightened a bit as we hurtled down the runway, but nothing like the death grip she’d had on my arm for the flight out. The plane roared its way into the air and once we leveled out, Jeri’s grip loosened but she didn’t let go of my hand. “How are you doing?” I asked with a touch of...
A very heart-felt Thank You to Erik Thread. His help, suggestions, and corrections, make my story a better read for you. This story doesn’t have a hot sex scene, so if that’s what you are looking for, please read elsewhere, then come back at another time to enjoy this short tale. * The sun, low in the western sky, reflected off the windshield of a car in the parking lot. The glare momentarily showed a bright light inside the darkened bar when the door was opened. He didn’t need to turn...
I hate people. No, that’s not entirely true. I don’t hate people, per se. What I hate is the little games they play. You know the ones I mean. The ones where it’s, “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. You scratch first”. Then when it’s your turn to get scratched, they’re gone in a flash. This seems to be a realm well-populated by women. Not all women. Just the ones that I attract. Or maybe it’s the ones that are attracted to me? Whatever. It all boils down to the same thing. I...
My first time was totally unplanned, and I didn’t even know the guy before we met that night. I had dropped my mom off at the airport, and while we were waiting before she went through security, I noticed a sailor wearing dress blues who had just come through the security gate and was on his way to pick up his bags. We made eye contact and he smiled at me, a big grin that made me melt inside. After saying good bye to my mom, I turned to walk away when he came up to me and started a...

This is not a fictional story, but is what happened to me when I was 17 and just joined the navy. After six weeks basic training we were allowed to leave the base and go as far as the local village down by a river in Devon. There were a few bars and a tiny nightclub. Most of the locals (especially the girls) are suspicious of matelots (navy boys) for obvious and correct reasons. So at the end of an unsuccessful night trying to get laid I left the club around 2am drunk and sexually...
Gay MaleSeptember 1982, Chicago, Illinois The weekend was quiet and besides homework, I worked on the program changes for Frank, called Karin, Tatyana, and Kara, and hung out with my usual study group. Monday was refreshingly normal. On Tuesday morning, I handed Katy my completed intake form. She put it in an envelope and stuck it in her bag. She said she’d let me know soon about the interview. On Tuesday afternoon, after having lunch with Stephie, I made my rounds and then I headed over to Sigma...
October 1982, Chicago, Illinois The drive back to Chicago was as uneventful as usual, and I arrived at the apartment just before 6:00pm. When I arrived, Elyse and Stephie were sitting on the couch and Jackie was sitting on the loveseat. Stephie hopped up as I opened the door and greeted me with a hug and a kiss. “Hi, Peaches!” I said. “Glad you’re home, Yankee!” “Hi, Steve,” Elyse and Jackie both said. “Hey,” I replied. “How was the weekend?” “Well, it was just Kurt with me, Stephie,...
June 11, 1989, Chicago, Illinois It was just after 3:00am when I kissed Trish goodbye. She’d been an enthusiastic, energetic, and adventurous lover. We’d done just about anything either of us could think of, though her breasts weren’t large enough for a tit-fuck. The last time had been in the shower where we’d ostensibly gone to clean up afterwards, but instead I ended up taking her from behind as she leaned against the wall of the shower. “I think I’ll have you again, Steve Adams,” she...
May 1978 The first couple of weeks in May were busy with school, work, and friends. Except for Becky, I didn’t even have any dates. But I was OK with that. Well, almost OK. I wanted to see Anna, but it likely wasn’t going to happen until school was out. I had tutoring sessions with Melanie, but she still wouldn’t talk to me about anything other than Spanish. Barely a hello. I was grateful for the tutoring, but it was maddening seeing my friend this way. I hoped someday she could understand...
March, 1982, Milford, Ohio As I drove along I-65, I thought about what Stephanie had asked for and what Bethany had said without even knowing about the request. Of course, because Bethany and I were so in tune, she might have actually had an idea that I was struggling with getting involved with my sister again. I kept turning it over and over in my mind and I kept coming to the same conclusion — that I shouldn’t do it. I was torn between doing what Stephanie wanted and doing what Kara and...
September 7, 1992, Chicago, Illinois “That went reasonably well,” Michelle said when her parents drove off. “There were a few times I thought my expression would give away something I shouldn’t. You were messing with me, weren’t you?” She grabbed both my hands and smiled, “I was telling the truth, in my own way. Thank you!” She leaned forward and kissed my cheek. “So, what’s left?” I asked. “To visit UofC tomorrow and formally withdraw from classes. To spend some time with you and your...
October 1981, Chicago, Illinois I arrived back at the apartment just before 10:00pm and saw the address for the party. I decided I wasn’t particularly interested in going so I put on some music, poured myself a glass of wine, and started reading more about Russia. I was alternating between the history and culture book and the Communist Party book, decided on the history and culture book for this time. I didn’t get much reading done because I was thinking about Tatyana, which led me to...
January 23, 1996, Chicago, Illinois “Father, bless!” I said, greeting Father Basil with upturned palms. “Bless you, Stephen,” he said as I kissed his hand. The waiter showed us to a quiet table along the wall of Roditys in Greektown. He took our drink orders and was back quickly. We placed our food orders right away and he left to put them in with the kitchen. “I’m not quite sure how to address this, so I’m just going to ask you bluntly. Are you the father of Michelle’s baby?” I shook my...
June 29, 1995, Chicago, Illinois On Thursday, I finally had lunch with Melissa again, something I hadn’t been looking forward to. Much like with Cèlia, Melissa and I had passed an inflection point and I was left with sub-optimal paths forward. I’d been struggling with the possible solutions, and all of them had pitfalls. When I walked into Takumi, I had something of a plan. Whether it was good or not would only be known once everything played out. “I spoke to my wives,” I said after we’d...
December 5, 2000, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota “I had a good time last night,” I said. “I was surprised you invited a friend!” Mary laughed as we walked into the exam room, “Naomi had a good time as well. You know what a Resident’s life is like.” I nodded, “No social life.” “Exactly. You guys seemed to hit it off pretty well.” “Yes, but I’m not here for that!” “You’re everywhere for that, and you know it!” I couldn’t help but laugh. “Let’s just say that you hit the sweet spot -...
March 1980, Hovås/Göteborg, Sweden I woke early as usual, but just enjoyed being in bed with Katt. When she woke, she hopped out of bed and pulled a robe out of her closet and handed it to me. “There’s a spare toothbrush in the bathroom. Go have your shower, then we’ll have breakfast after I have my shower.” I quickly showered and brushed my teeth, and went back to Katt’s room. She went to shower and came back a few minutes later. She dressed, and I got a very good look at her sexy body...
April 5, 1997, Chicago, Illinois “You missed cuddles this morning!” Birgit said accusingly when I walked into the house about 9:30am. “I know, Pumpkin, but I had a work emergency and had to go see Aunt Joyce and Grandpa A.” “And now we have to get ready for karate!” “I know. We’ll have some family time this afternoon. I don’t have any plans.” “Good!” I hugged her and the rest of the kids, then went to find Kara. We hugged and kissed, and went straight upstairs to get ready for...
