I was stunned at how many were in the chapel. They parted as we entered, and we were ushered to the front row. The preacher was an old friend of the family, at one time our campers were side by side. It seemed like he preached the whole sermon straight to me.
He talked about love, loss, and overcoming tragedy. He talked about God’s will, and how mortals would never understand it most of the time. Finally, he asked for a silent prayer for the souls of my family.
I had been getting more and more agitated. Every face I saw triggered a memory, every hug or pat on the back seemed to bring more pain. It finally hit me. I’d never had a chance to grieve for my family. I’d had to jump straight in, arrange the funerals, deal with the insurance, and try to save the company. Plus, I never had anyone to grieve with. Every one close to me was gone. Kim acted sympathetic, but I could sense she never really gave a rat’s butt about it.
Now, twenty months later I sat here, surrounded by families I’d known since childhood, the friends I’d made here, the friends my parents had made. Plus I now had Carrie and Sarah. It hit me like a physical blow. I was with family now, and I could let my grief go.
So I broke down and cried like a baby, for my parents who never got to enjoy their golden years, for my brother and his wife who would never know the joy of raising a family, and finally, for my niece, a poor child who never got a chance to experience life. I cried for me, for the hole it had left in my life, that had been unfilled until now. The tears washed away most of my burden, and for the first time since I lost them I felt true peace.
My crying triggered off Carrie and Sarah, which triggered off Nat and Robbie, which triggered off Julie and her parents. The chain reaction rocked the building, until there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
I finally got hold of myself and walked to the podium. “Thank you. Thank you for sharing my grief, for making it bearable. My parents knew a lot of you, counted you as friends, even family in this environment. Friendships formed here, over a mutual love of the outdoors and community, have shaped countless lives over the decades. I know it shaped mine. It taught me how to share, how to respect boundaries, how to conduct myself as a decent human being. If the old axiom about it taking a village to raise a child is true, this place is living, breathing proof of that. We, the regulars of this campground, we ARE a village. Thank you again. For those interested, a meal is available in the community building. Please, in honor of my mother, join us. One of her greatest passions was preparing food and sharing it. This would have given her great pleasure, to see her friends gathered around, thinking of her, and sharing a meal one more time.”
I was checking out the camper, making sure it was weather proof as possible when Carrie came back. I really hoped Sarah would be with her, but she wasn’t. I could tell Carrie was upset, as soon as we got inside she jumped into my lap, hugging me hard. I petted her as I watched the storm grow worse, the wind blowing so hard it actually shook us a few times. Lightning was flashing, thunder an almost a continuous roll. I couldn’t help thinking about Sarah in that flimsy tent, so I gently slid...
I saw them, walking down the hill to the marina, talking in quiet tones. They continued on until they were on the dock in front of the boat, hesitating. I leaned over the railing and looked down. “Need something?” I called out pretty loudly and they jumped, not realizing I was right above them. Sarah looked up with a timid smile. “Permission to board, Captain?” I didn’t answer, coming down from the deck and facing them at the boarding ramp. “Why?” They seemed to deflate, before Sarah got a...
I had my mom drive me over to doms house. At around 2 matt arrived. We walked down to the local YMCA and went swimming agin. This time when we were done a 12 year old named Mike.

The knock on the door made my heart jump. It was 9:30pm; I knew that my life was changing forever. I opened the door with the biggest grin on my face. “Hello sweetie” I exclaimed. Brandy gave me a kiss on the check and stepped into the apartment. She was beautiful. Her hazel danced with excitement. Her caramel skin glistened in low light of the apartment. I thought she might be a little too glamorous for our affair tonight. Her red lip stick made her full lips juicer than normal. I noticed...
Carla and Mike Carl and Mike had been high school friends. Both were average students, Carl better in the classroom, Mike a natural jock. Carl chose college, Mike the military.

Sue Wharton was depressed. She would have said a curt and tearful: ‘Of course I’m depressed. I’ve lost them all.’ She would be speaking of course of Dan, her husband, gone these 5 years or so and now, now, everlastingly now Kenny, dead of a roadside bomb in Iraq! It was a phrase that she couldn’t stand to have repeated but was aways in her heart, in her consciousness, in the back of her mind, never truly and fully going away, just always there! She felt at age 38 that the world had ended and...

Size is important for me and I love being teased and licked. Around once a month I love having a second man to pleasure me, a full on tongue fuck, before I pleasure him, then give him a blow job while my man watches and masturbates while he talks to me, very exciting for three people. Often that man will pleasure my man, a blow job, while I watch, talk to him and tease him with my lips and fingers: oral sex only – no intercourse is the rule. To be fair to my man we share another female...

This particular website was again oriented around fetish stuff, and I had been reading erotic stories about Dominant and Submissive stories for...

Cambridge is a charming city nestling on a bend in the River Cam as it glides lazily north-westwards until losing its own identity and begrudgingly becoming part of the more industrial Great Ouse, which then flows on towards King's Lynn and the Wash. The town is dominated by the great university where religion and education come together to produce the scholars needed to build economic empires but, unlike its more arrogant cousin in the Cotswolds, the many colleges seem to integrate more...

Suddenly we had something to do and we set about organising it quickly, the sooner we worked everything out, the sooner we could leave. We lived on the outskirts of the city and knew that we could be out into the forest within a few hours walking. I had been out on a fishing trip when I was young with my dad and a few uncles and remembered we camped in a beautiful spot by the side of a lake. After looking at maps I was pretty sure I remembered where it had been and convinced Mike that we...
Introduction: This is my first story, its based on a true story, but becomes fantasy It had been a long summer with little to do.

Suddenly we had something to do and we set about organising it quickly, the sooner we worked everything out, the...

I’ve been there a couple of times before – it is a good...
So this is a follow up on my first story, about my first time experience with a guy. So, it may be useful to go back to the last one and read it to get a better lead in for this one.

After the encounter, we didn't talk about it and were a little standoffish with each other for a week or two. However, after a few normal nights out with friends, we sort of settled back into our normal friendship from...

It was a temperate fall afternoon when she finally arrived at the edge of the sand. The small, suburban park used to be a soothing place to relax after a night of drinking. She removed her heels and sunk her toes into the sand, enjoying the feel. Sarah spotted a bench that was fairly secluded, surrounded by various willow trees by the end of the beach. The scenery was beautiful, with a rainbow of leaf colours and the reflection of the sun off the small lake. It was fairly quiet, as most of the...

SpankingHolly crept up behind Kate with instinctive ease, then like some guard dog she bit on Kate's cunt then chewed playfully on her flesh through her latex while her hands shot forward, and grabbed Kate's tits. She let out a deep, long moan that resonated through the latex into Kate's cunt as latex covered flesh muffled it. She couldn't resist Kate's succulent position one moment, and she wanted some of that sweet pussy so badly! "Ahhhhhhhhhhh...., uuuhhhhh....,...

Robbie loved the boat, looking over the railing while I kept a firm grip on him. Nat didn’t like it at all, it was too high off the water to suit her. She went from Julie to Carrie, clinging. They finally took the kids...
