Whiskey And A Smoke Part VI Night After the Concert

Too weak to move without help, an attendant was dispatched to push Jack's wheelchair into the conference room. The attendant was ordered to wait outside. Present were an uncomfortable looking colonel who plainly showed he would prefer to be elsewhere, a sharp faced, stern looking woman of dubious gender, Karla Von Krupp, and a shark faced man in a dark gray suit that cost more than a mere sergeant made in six months. "This is not a formal hearing so no legal representation will be necessary at this point."
"Who the hell are you?" Jack demanded of the well-dressed stranger.
"Your worst nightmare if I choose to be," the stranger answered. "The name is James Lytle. Mister James Lytle to you, sergeant. You are here to answer questions and convince me why you shouldn't have your discharge changed to dishonorable for cowardice in the face of the enemy." He bent down until his nose was six inches from Jack's face. "Do you understand me, Sergeant?" he hissed.
Jack's body reacted to the perceived threat the way it was trained to. With no conscious effort of his own Sergeant Jack Daniels' right hand shot straight up, twelve inches. Right thumb and middle finger locked on the man's larynx and began to crush. The woman stepped forward, drew back her right fist in a well practiced motion and was thrown against the wall as a hard looking man dressed in an Italian tailored silk suit stepped through the door, took one look and back handed the woman. Jack Daniels' hand lost the death grip as its small burst of energy faded. He fell out of his wheelchair to land on the floor in a sprawled heap.
"Just what in hell is going on here, may I ask?" the newcomer demanded of the colonel who had stood by and watched it all in horrified fascination. "I just now learned about this highly illegal meeting quite by accident and came as fast as I could. It looks like I didn't get here a minute too soon. What are you trying to do Mister? Are you trying to kill this man?"
"This goes way beyond your need to know, Mister McReady, way, way beyond your need to know." The colonel had trouble meeting the angry newcomer's eyes.
"Oh yes, all the way up to the White House, I'll bet," Gordon McReady snorted derisively.
"For once in your crusading life, Mister McReady, you are right on the money. In fact orders came down from the Oval office to authorize this investigation," the colonel smirked. "If you were not this man's attorney of record we would have concluded this business and been shed of the whole mess."
"Now why is my level of incredulity and bilge rising all at once?" Gordon McReady squatted down and checked out his unconscious client. James Lytle stood back and glared at the newcomer. He stared his hatred at the unconscious man on the floor.
"Stand up here and look at me when I speak to you, Mister," the colonel ordered.
Attorney at law Gordon N. McReady stood and gave way before he did something that could get him arrested. He regained control of his anger and looked back at the army officer with contempt, turned and quickly opened the door to the room beyond. "Get some medical help in here ASAP. Your patient needs it right now, chop-chop."
"Mister McReady, the man Sergeant Daniels just assaulted is the personal aide and troubleshooter for Senator Creel. Surely even you know the good senator is our president's first choice to replace him in the elections two years from now. As I said, this goes way beyond your need to know."
"I now see why I was brought in early and informed I would be needed to act as defense counsel for a man who has yet to be charged of any crime. You people knew a defense attorney would be needed to add credibility to a kangaroo proceeding to stop a potential embarrassment to that spineless idiot in the White House from occurring. You were forced to notify me by law, so you did and then tried to mushroom me."
He continued, "However, I believe you made a big mistake when you tried to side track me after notification. I am Ex JAG and know the military legal system inside and out. In addition, I am not in awe of the so-called political powers that be and I will not permit this man to be used as a political football for that drunken thief the RNC has chosen to replace the idiot we have in DC at present masquerading as a real president. I'll confer with my client when he is able and we'll go from there."
He stared hard at the colonel, "Here's an item I know you aren't aware of. I got to know this man well in Iraq and again in Afghanistan. He and his teams went into places a full regiment would fear to go and usually came out mission accomplished. He personally wrote a letter to the Joint Chiefs and sent a cc to the Pentagon complaining about Senator Creel's business ties to defense contractors in the Middle East. I believe I now know what this whole brouhaha is about."
Gordon McReady stopped, collected his thoughts and then continued, "That's what this whole thing is all about, isn't it? That letter is what is behind this vendetta." The colonel looked blankly back at the lieutenant. He knew nothing about any letter. All he knew was important people wanted something. And, what important people wanted he would do his best to supply.
Then was the second beginning of the close relationship forged between the lawyer and the combat veteran. As if by magic, the case against ex-First Sergeant "Whiskey" Jack
Daniels was erased as if it had never been. Logbooks were altered and Senator Creel's personal assistant returned to Washington with a damaged voice box.
With unusual efficiency for a bureaucracy, ex-Master Sergeant Jack Daniels was awarded a one hundred percent permanent disability pension, plus a maintenance allowance.
Gordon McReady considered an expose to the news media and decided to wait.
Jack's friend Gordon L. McReady, attorney at law, met an embittered Jack Daniels as the final papers that awarded him his disability pension were processed. The military doctors were regretful as they reevaluated his case and again agreed he would never walk unaided again. They expressed doubts he would ever walk with or without braces and crutches.
"Ready for a ride to the Salt Lake Medical Center, Sport?" a male nurse asked him. "I got a special van outside so you can have a nice ride to your new home. I wonder why they brought you to the Cheyenne VA to process you out of the Army." Jack stared uncomprehending at a horizon only he could see.
That episode in the conference room in Cheyenne seemed to have caused further damage to both his mind and his spinal cord.
For the following six months Jack had lain quiet in the VA Medical Center bed in a private room. He stared blank eyed at the television set on the wall. If I can ever get the strength to move I'm going to yank that damned TV off the wall and stick it up that fat assed bitch's ass. The 'fat assed bitch', a nurse's aide, sat in the chair beside the paralyzed man and watched her favorite soap. "The World Of Angel O'Dell."
"Oh god, this is just so moving," she said to herself as Angel, the heroine sat indecisively in a chair and showed as many panty-clad crotch shots as the law allowed while she tried in desperation to decide between her two lovers. After six months of back and forth sex she still couldn't decide if she liked rough over tender.
Jack hoped in vain she would have a threesome with her two lovers, just to offer a change from the daily soap opera fare.
"Oh god, this is so moving," she repeated.
Bowel moving, paralyzed and now a civilian, John R. Daniels, told her mentally.
Frustrated almost beyond all endurance he strained. His face contorted with effort as, for the first time in over six months, a raspy sound came from deep in his throat. "T-t-turn ... th-that ... d-d-dammed thing d-d-down." He grunted and mumbled, "Sh-sh-oh god."
He stopped struggling and lapsed into unconsciousness. Before he passed out, his last thought was one of hatred toward soaps and the women who watched them. She, the nurse's aide, did not notice the grunting sounds or the small twitching movements her patient had made. More important things were happening on the television
Ex- First Sergeant John R "Whiskey Jack" Daniels awoke a short time later in a world of hurt. His back hurt, his legs ached and he was thirsty. He tried to shift in bed and barely moved. Oh man, I hurt, he thought to himself. A grunting noise came from his throat as he made another effort to stretch and shift his body. This time he succeeded and moved just a little after great effort.
All at once he realized, I moved! "I sure as hell moved," he croaked. The strain exhausted him and he relaxed. Exultation flowed through his being in a stream of life giving energy. He marveled at the miracle of moving his body. "Well, how about that?" he muttered to himself, his voice no longer sounded quite so froggy.
At noon, 'the fat assed bitch' entered his room and reached for the remote on the nightstand by the bed where she had left it. It was not there anymore. "Don't you touch this remote or I'll shove it up your fat butt," Jack threatened, his voice still had a slight rasp. "Get me a drink of water," he commanded. "I'm thirsty as hell."
The nurse's aide looked at him, her mouth made a silent "Oh" sound; then she ran out screaming.
"What the hell?" he rasped and returned his attention to Pat Sajak and Vanna White as the next contestant was introduced.
The evening news had just begun to show on the television when a nurse, a regular RN, rushed into the room. Without a word she turned and hurried away to summon a doctor. Jack was so deeply engrossed in the television news program, he didn't notice.
"Who removed the IV from this man's arm?" a doctor demanded as he came into the room.
"I did," Jack told him in a hoarse, almost normal voice. "I'm thirsty and would like a drink."
"Welcome back to Planet Earth from wherever you've been hiding," the amazed doctor told him. "Well, let's see what we shall see here."
The third day after his "recovery" began with torture as physical therapists pushed, probed, prodded and massaged flaccid muscles and joints that had lain dormant for eighteen months. One physical therapist, a muscular, yet attractive red head, in particular caught Jack Daniels' eye and his interest.
As she worked his knee joints and made his elbows bend and begin to work again, Jack devoured her face with his eyes. He realized there could never be anything on his side of any relationship but wishful fantasy, but oh how he wished and fantasized.
"Whiskey River, take my mind Don't let a memory talk to me Whiskey River, don't run dry You're all I got, take care of me..." My name is Jim. I ordered my third bourbon of the night and listened to the singer on the stage belting out a Willie Nelson special. Whiskey River, don't dry up. You got that right. After what they did, I never want the river to run dry, I thought as the song continued. Who were the they I was referring to? They were what I had believed to be my lifetime best...
Zelda was amazed at how good she felt when she woke up in a nice bed with no lumps and sags in it. She took a fast shower and put on yesterday's underwear and Jack's tee shirt and shorts. She wrinkled her nose. She remembered Jack promised her an advance on her salary, however he was paying her. This meant she could get something better to wear than what she had now. She felt great all over as she walked out of her bedroom and stretched her body. She came into the living room and gave her...
Catherine decided to quit the rat race at the age of twenty-four. Catherine was above average in two aspects of her life. Firstly, she was a very accomplished writer and had well-read columns in a few magazines. Because of her literary talent, she was also an excellent proof-reader and editor. Secondly, Catherine was very attractive. She stood five-foot-seven-inches tall and had a stunning body.After a bust-up with her boyfriend, she decided to move to a really small village in the middle of...
BisexualI shivered, trying to shake the cold. How did I let you talk me into this? It was one of those things that started as a harmless joke. Hell, in theory it kind of excited me, but sitting here on this cold bleacher that excitement was nowhere to be found. Instead there was just raw paranoia in its place. 'Somebody is going to catch on. They are going to hear it, or see my face, or even worse what if I make noise when I cum?' Usually I can be quiet if I need to but keeping quiet and staying...
MasturbationI will forever remember that moment.I was with my friends. Friends that offered the distraction of amusement so I could just drink momentarily forgetting about the static of the day. You walked in with your own group of personal entertainers and, by some force, immediately drew my attention.The bar was crowded but not enough to shield me from making eye contact with you. That look in your eyes, one of bashful innocence. Like a woman showing up to her first day at a new job, trying to fit in or...
LesbianSo I’m Laura, I am 5 ft tall with brown hair and eyes. I’m average build, I wear 36 B/C bra size (kinda in between…still a good handful) and I have a great ass so I’ve heard. I had just turned 18 and although I had done some serious experimenting, I was still a virgin. So after throwing back dollar shots of whiskey all night with my friends, going swimming seemed like the best idea. In our group was my best friend Mel, her fuck buddy Nick, and his roommate Sean. We started off swimming in our...

First Time"That does it! Keys in the fishbowl or not, I'm cutting you off! When you start talking to someone who isn't even there it's time to quit the drinking and sober up." Phil, mine host and the sole proprietor, owner and chief glass washer at Phil's Cantina had obviously taken exception to my long conversation with the young man seated next me and I couldn't resist the urge to be witty in reply. "I talk to myself all of the time. It's healthy — unless you start to answer yourself using...
"Gordy, get my ass away from here and over to my house. You remember where it is?" Jack pled with his friend. "Yeah, I remember where it is." Gordon answered with a half smile. "Just think a minute, what will you do over there, all by yourself? You need help to get a drink of water. Is there anyone there? You need a care giver or whatever they're called." "Look," just get me there and call the local nurses' registry. Loan me one of your credit cards and a thousand in cash." He...
They were her enemies. Vestra knew this. The priests, reading from old, religious texts, had pounded home that point in every reading and every sermon. The people of Vylun were the enemies of the Dagowyn. The lesser creatures of Vylun had banded together hundreds of millennia – perhaps even eons – ago and hunted her people to extinction. It was only through the grace of god they’d escaped, exiled to a similar world but a world lacking in life or mercy. D’arwyn, the “world of death”. She...
I came home from my most recent business trip and noticed the neighbors had put a For Sale Sign in their front yard. I knew they had been talking about moving, but I didn’t think they would leave so soon. In fact, it looked as though they had moved out completely in the three days that I had been away.“Honey, did the Smiths’ move out?” I yelled as I came into the garage door.My wife, Betty, greeted me with a kiss, “Mmm, glad you are home. Yes, the Smiths’ moved out yesterday.”“Does this mean we...
CheatingThe sun began to rise, the light seemed to penetrate me and reveal my darkest thoughts. I looked over at Allie. She looked beautiful. Guilt flooded over me. I started trying to make sense of what happened last night. I looked over at Allie again. She must have sensed it because she turned and gave me the sweetest smile. My heart tore in two. I turned to look at Aden. He was sitting straight up and grinned at me."Morning princess.""Morning." I replied as I turned back to look ahead of me."We are...
It had been a long couple of weeks working 18 hours a day with out so much as a day off. I pushed myself too long and hard with out a break. I was about to get out of the Navy, and was working at a pizza shop after hours. So being it was Friday evening and the truck I was supposed to be delivering pizza with broke down on the first delivery, I decided to take a night off. I went to the enlisted club on base and met up with some friends. I was drinking like I had before this last stretch of...
Josiah Creel seemed to have forgotten about Jack. Jack and Zelda breathed collective sighs of relief and went about day-to-day living. For the next six months, every day, five days a week, Jack worked with his assigned physical therapist at the VA, a well-meaning young woman who Jack felt hindered, rather than helped. She felt positive thoughts and the right attitude would work miracles. She also suggested he attend meetings at her church. Months passed. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years...
+ Here comes more of rifj's skillful editing + The still figure on the bed lay quiet; his eyes were closed. The cut on his upper lip had been cleaned and sewn. He drew ragged breaths of air through his open mouth. Suddenly he jerked and twitched. He opened his eyes and looked wildly around him. He struggled to sit up in bed. "Don't move, Jack, take it easy," Zelda comforted him. "It's okay now. You're in the hospital. Everything's okay now." His eyes focused on Zelda's worried...
An hour later the four of them gathered in the living room. Zelda, Gordy and Melissa cleaned up the cluttered mess created by the pair of Creel's men. They had a garbage bag full of broken trash. Gordon waved his bottle of beer in the air. "Okay, now I've seen the DVD of your ambush. God, what a mess. What I don't understand is why Creel thinks you have that mini disc as well. You never were in contact with anyone who would have access to kind of material that clown said was on the...
Josh took a cab to work. Too much was happening and he wanted to think. Josh left the cab intent on his own personal problems. He didn't notice the driver, or the way his eyes glittered with hatred. The driver removed a cell phone from his shirt pocket and spoke in rapid Arabic. Josh had his attention focused on clearing away the rest of the day's business. Then he intended go home for the inevitable confrontation with a wife he had never loved and barely tolerated. He knew it would be...
After our afternoon at the beach, Megan and I head back to my place to freshen up before the cncert this evening. Megan gets an unwanted surprise and questions what she is doing this weekend.Megan was sitting on the back porch as I returned home from walking the dogs. Her hair was still wet and she looked a bit distraught. “What’s wrong?” I said sitting next to her.She held up her phone and showed me the text string.“So, he knows what is going on?” I asked.“Yes, he watched us at the beach...
CheatingI woke up early the next morning. My whole body ached. My asshole felt like I did a somersault and landed on a traffic cone. Aden was still asleep. I tried to move but found that I was bound into his arms. He felt so warm, smelled so good, and he looked even better. He was sleeping so peacefully that I decided to stay put.I nuzzled his cheek with my forehead, he stirred and smiled sleepily then drifted back into slumber after squeezing me even tighter. I could smell his scent wafting from his...
I lay there with Aden behind me in the spooning position. I felt the hardness of his cock as he slid it up and down between my meaty buttocks. I felt the heat of his breath on the back of my neck and my ear. I felt myself hardening again. He seemed hesitant to slip inside me. I turned my head as far as it could go so that I could see his face, his massive left arm wrapped around me, holding me in place.He looked at me as if he were in complete agony with desire. I knew then that he did not want...
I stared at the words. Every fiber of my being shook. I was so shocked.Allie was having an affair with one of my employees.Aden must have seen the look on my face, because he snatched the phone right out of my hand, snapping me out of my dazed trance. I looked over at him. He glared at the screen. He handed me the phone with his head held down. I clenched it with sweaty palms. I had no idea how to react to this. Was I angry? Yes. Was I hurt? Yes, but a tiny part of me felt relieved. I no longer...
Aden held his head low for the rest of the trip. We passed the time listening to tunes and Youtube videos. I found myself glancing back through the mirror to see how he was doing. He was a far cry from the Aden I knew growing up. He was always so carefree and confident until he met Miranda. It was apparent that the bitch broke him.His brother had always been jealous of our friendship, and his marriage to Miranda as well. Alan was a fuck up to say the least. When Aden was off to Iraq, Alan was...
I felt so bad for my friend Aden. He had just returned from Iraq, serving his country when his wife told him that she had been having an affair with his brother Alan. Way to keep it in the fucking family Miranda. She also let him know that their two year old daughter was really his niece, their house was now her house, and the car, and half his money. He was fucked.Poor bastard. I had never seen him this way before. I visited him at his folk's place up in Redwater, the shit hole little town we...
Zelda awoke from a troubled sleep and lay still for a moment longer to enjoy how great it felt to wake up in a bed that felt good to lie in. She stretched her firm body and soaked the comfort up from the luxury of a bed with no lumps or sags. The caress of the silken nightwear Jack had insisted she buy felt wonderful to her skin. No, it was beyond was beyond wonderful. Zelda felt pampered for the first time in her life. "Oh yes, Jack was right," she whispered to herself and smiled. The...
Zelda was still snuggled up tight to Jack when he awoke to what he thought was the sound of the front door opening. It was so faint he wondered if he actually heard anything. Perhaps it was his imagination. Then he heard it again, a faint shuffling noise. Someone was in the front room. Jack kept quiet as he disentangled himself from the naked Zelda and slowly rolled over. Still quiet, Jack slid the drawer on his nightstand open. He removed the nine-millimeter Beretta stored there years ago....
Just as the sun began to come up Jack rolled over onto his back and yelled, "Jesus!" "Ugh. What? What is it?" Zelda asked, not even half awake. "It felt like a hot knife just went through my spine. I can't move and it hurts. Oh man but it hurts. Quick, roll me over on my belly, please." He moaned, and then grunted as she rolled him over face down on her bed. Another small lump formed just above his tailbone. The festered area pushed up, almost breaking through the skin. "Wait here,...
"You guys do whatever it takes to keep on keepin' on here. I think it's about time to bring in Military Intelligence." "You better think twice before going that route," Zelda cautioned them. "That bunch Creel was associated with seemed to own the military." She urged Jack up from the table. "Let's get you back into the bedroom. I want to get the rest of that junk out of your back. Anyway I hope this is the last of it." "I have a couple of friends I would like to contact. There...
Hope you like the last chapter. For the following three months they enjoyed relative peace. Jack Daniels began to work his long unused muscles in new ways as Zelda taught him the techniques of Northern Tai Chi and Jeet Kun Do. In return Jack, taught her the combat techniques of the Special Forces. They were surprised so many of the disciplines each had followed separately were the same. Jack finally told her, "There are just so many ways you can kill somebody barehanded or with a knife....
Chapter 5 A young fox pawed its way hurriedly through the snow and undergrowth in pursuit of its quarry. The density of the trees became less and less as suddenly, the fox emerged into a clearing. The rabbit it was chasing stared back at him wide-eyed, frozen to the spot. The fox knew this area well, even in the dark and snow. A small pool of water lay semi-frozen at the foot of the clearing, surrounded by tall, forbidding trees. The constant gushing of water broke the silence as the fox...

“Here she comes boys,” he shouts, waggling his eyebrows at me as I walk through the classroom door. My eyes focus on him, and am amused to see that he is practically drooling as he watched me saunter the ten feet to where he stood with his jock friends. “Jared Casey, you are so full of shit.” His grin widened, “I knew you were hot for me, babe. Come on, Adia, let’s ditch this class and find a quiet room to do a little studying up on our Biology?” “The key word there being, ‘little?’”...
You sit in a basement with three of your good friends, Katie, Kelly, and Tessa. Typically you all hang out in a larger group with more dudes, but tonight it's just the three of them. Rachael is venting about her boyfriend Nick. "It's really weird," Rachael says. "He has this fetish for nurses. He wants me to jerk him off while wearing purple latex gloves. That's weird right?"
BDSMPart IV - Hostile TakeoverIt was award season and that meant many celebs converging in relatively small locations for a specific time. This was the chance Selena Gomez wanted to use. The petite Latina had always been one to try to mend rifts between her friends, one who can really be brought down by bad blood that makes meetings between certain persons within her group of friends very awkward. Still, she couldn't help but feel duplicitous and treacherous for what she had done. She paced back...
It took a few minutes for the cheering and shouting to die down, and by the time Mrs Dunne had enough students silent for her to be heard, the bell rang for the beginning of the day. Mrs Dunne glared at us as Poppy, Lauren, myself and the rest of the new students rushed past her to retrieve our bags. Mrs Dunne's plan to humiliate the new students also failed in getting us introduced to the year group, as nobody was able to connect the six names to the right students. However, even...

Straight SexThere is an uncomfortable truth about almost every show/book/movie/comic featuring a female heroine that fights crime, injustice, or evil; almost everyone they meet wants to fuck them. I mean come on what's hotter than an already conventionally hot lady facing evil head on. I refuse to believe that the villains aren't feeling that as well. Being obsessed with taking them down slowly blurring with an obsession with going down on them. Frustration at being foiled would become sexual frustration...
Olga and I stood in the bus stop about two kilometers inside the Italian border. We weren't the only odd looking passengers waiting for the dusty bus to show up. I was really relieved the see a small herd of about twenty souls waiting huddled in the early morning mist that threatened to turn into a meaningful sprinkling of rain. I would have paid a king's ransom for a cup of hot coffee and I could felt Olga shivering under the protection of my sheltering trench-coat. I knew the trench-coat...
Henry drove with care as he followed the directions relayed by Greg's mom. The adults discovered, although they were from very different backgrounds, they had many things in common and enjoyed each other's company. "Too bad we had to come down here for medical reasons," Henry Storm told them. "You are some of the easiest to get along with people I have met in a long time. Ever since I got back from the Middle East I have had to stick close to the Veterans' hospital in St Cloud. Now...
Amanda opened her eyes and tried to move. She couldn't. Still groggy, she asked, "What happened?" She strained hard as she could to roll over. She could not. Panic struck her. "Hey," she yelled, "Where am I?" Willow came within the range of her view. "You're in the hospital. That crazy fat man shot you. People beat him and kicked him and shot him with his own gun." She nodded her satisfaction. "If he lives he will carry a plastic bag with him where ever he goes. The bullets caused...
The day started out very nice for me. It was one of those days when you feel full of piss and vinegar and ready to take on the world. I got to sleep in late for a change because one of my early morning meetings had been canceled. When I finally made it out to the kitchen, Julie met me with a fresh cup of coffee and my favorite breakfast. One of my other Bond Mates, Samantha, thought my breakfast of six slices of bacon, well-browned hash browns, three eggs basted well, and a split English...
I awoke in the morning with the headache to end all headaches' man it was bad, I sat up and got out of bed and stopped. It was then I realized I was not in my trailer and this was not my bed. I looked around until I saw Patricia on another table and walked over to her; I put my hand on her shoulder and gently shook her. She opened her eyes and grabbed her head and looked at me. "Ya I know bad headache, me to." "What the heck is going on where are we." she said looking around. "That...
Rich leads us back to the house. The two other boys have beat us there. They are sitting at the table looking sullen. Brin has a look of I told you so on her face. And Emma just looks confused. "What happened?" Emma rushes at us, as Catherine enters with Billy Ray slung over her shoulder. "Billy got in the way of Chronos' fist." Catherine says dryly. "We are fine, too." I say brightly. "We just need to talk." "The boys are fine, Emma." Rich gives her a sheepish grin. "But we...
We found Porin, as we had Lamin, all hills and valleys. There was something more welcoming about Porin though, it was gentler and greener than Lamin had been. Certainly it was more forgiving than the Zadrain had been. We went back to sleeping during the night, but we posted watches, and we resumed our drills along with our meditation. Alianna was soaking up the staff and the bow with a sponge. Strangely, Master Jo refused to teach her. He insisted we do it, having Sid teach her the staff and...
Alex had just attached the static rope to his figure eight and was preparing to abseil down the cliff when Cassie screamed. She was backing away from their instructor with a look of horror on her face. A cold chill seized his heart as he saw the wide grin on the trainer’s face. Cassie was backing towards the cliff. “Watch out!” he cried. She glanced imploringly at him then disappeared over the edge. Alex leaned out over the cliff edge. Cassie was a third of the way down. She was gripping...
Sherry was angry. She was angry with her father, the good Reverend Gibson, but that was nothing new. Right now, at this moment, she was especially angry with her best friend, Julie. The girl seemed to be almost gloating over the fact that her brother in law was screwing her twice as often, and better than he was screwing his wife, her sister. It was like she was saying, 'Ha Ha, I've got him and you don't.' Not only saying it it Joan but also to Sherry. And she was supposed to be a friend?...
One afternoon, my neighbor told me he had bought the cable TV service, without imagining that I would be with my worst enemy, let me how how the retaliate.I remembered one evening in January 2000, when he was invited to the home of Eduardo, who was right next to me on the occasion that he had subscribed to cable TV to not depend on the family, declined to its separate subscription. I liked the idea because there was living my worst enemy, the man who dared to mess with my nephew, and all for a...
THE REAL ENEMY by Jenny North In hindsight I should have listened to my instincts before I entered the bar. I'd had a feeling there was something hinky about the place but the second I walked in I knew I'd made a serious mistake. At first it seemed like any other bar with a bunch of regulars there to drink, watch the game, and maybe shoot some pool. But right now the only sound was coming from the game on the vidscreen, because everybody had stopped to stare at me. That in itself...
Once back aboard their shuttle, Gary fired up the engine and headed back to their ship, as Al sought to reassure everyone. ‘Completed the negotiations. Everything’s a go. As soon as we get back onboard, we can get out of here and hopefully lower Yitzl’s blood pressure a few points.’ He’d no sooner than finished the message, when Yitzl reconnected. ‘Al, you need to organize your people. The problem is deeper than we suspected. The failure of the one sensor evidently produced feedback,...
Harry appeared whistling right in front of a posh looking door. The door belonged to a huge luxurious looking building surrounded by grounds all round. This place was Malfoy Manor and Harry was here on an errand. A very pleasurable errand. Rapping his knuckles against the door sharply, he waited. In a few moments, the door opened to reveal a blonde beauty in a night gown. She was Astoria Malfoy nee Greengrass. “Hello Harry,” Astoria purred, leaning against the door frame. Harry grinned, “I...

The Ethehini: a group of people with the ability to use earth's elements and matter to our will and for our purposes. Mortals might call us warlocks or sorcerers, and they fear and hate us as such. Wars have been fought to wipe out our existence, how ironic it is that we are the ones who help and watch other them, seeing that they do not destroy themselves in their mortal impulsiveness. Never the less we are forced to hide and use glamour and magic to hide ourselves from the human...
Know the Enemy. By Blossom Loverose. Tomorrow I graduate from university and I figure before I do I should write down an account of the events that bought me to this point in my life.

When I arrived at university, I was alone and in a new environment that I had never been...
Chapter 1 30 June, 1994 He's at it again. I woke up from the nightmares again. Vernon wasn't happy. He doesn't dare lock my stuff up anymore, though. Not since we realize there are wizards watching the house. They don't do anything to stop him. They never have. He may have just realized it, but I knew all along. But I can't really bring myself to care anymore. I thought about it. Wizards were always coming up to me when I was younger. They must have seen how ragged and nasty I looked....
With Sax rushing in we have held Kane along the western border. The Ori Royal Guards have began to make themselves known once more. The ancient fortress had been the perfect northern base. Not only had it stood up to constant attacks but it was sending the army after the Kane in growing numbers. New roads were moving to several areas of the border. The Stalker companies had pushed the Kane out of the far north and the Royal Guards were moving south. The victory on the southern border had...
Sometimes I think I’d give anything for a normal life. You know. One where I grew up, married my high school sweetheart, lived on the ranch inherited from my father, and raised half a dozen kids who gave me grandkids before I was too old to recognize them. At the same time, I would never trade my life with Laramie, the love I experienced with Kat, my cousin’s passion and commitment, or the unbelievable young woman who consented to be my bride. You know, when I got home I found out more about...

We have a problem outside the galley.” “What is the problem, Ensign?” “Seaman Davino, Seaman Martelli, and Seaman Tocci tried to rape Hearth Maria. They’re pretty mangled. She won’t let anyone attend to them.” Captain Tasso glanced over at Sword Anat. She was watching him for his reaction. He winked at her. She grinned. He replied, “There’s no problem, Ensign. Hearth Maria is waiting for help in seeing them demoted...
Sleeping with the Enemy QUICK NOTE: This story is essentially the second chapter of my attempt to turn ‘Sexual Healing’ into a novel, re-titled and posted as a love story…there is no real sex in this story, so keep that in mind…thanks to all who have been asking about it, and thanks for reading… Chapter 2. Failure. There are some events in a man’s life that just seem to eat away at his soul. Events that etch themselves indelibly upon us with the passage of time, like the lines that form upon...
