Part I Mike O'Hara wandered down the aisles of the bazaar. It was supposed to be a 'real' Arabic bazaar and had been put together by the local Muslim community as a way to reach out to the parochial American who remained completely ignorant of the actual Muslim religion and culture, but believed the Hollywood depiction where most Americans learned their 'facts' about the world. Mike remembered reading that people thought Oliver Stone's movies were factual. 'Oh my people!!!' Mike had...
Wishful Thinking: An Anonymous Amulet Story By Jenny North Chastity MacNichols had a problem. Well, technically, two problems. Three, if you counted her boyfriend. Steve was a manipulative, self-centered, womanizing creep. So, okay, she couldn't exactly prove the "womanizing" part, but she sure as hell suspected it. It wouldn't be hard, what with him photographing those made-up little tramps all the time. And after everything she had done for him! Chastity took a deep...
Three days ago you were given an amulet. It seemed pretty standard as far as finding random amulets go. Gold chain, red jewel in the center, standard stuff right? In fact you probably would have pawned it off by now if it weren’t for that weird message that came with it… The moment you put the amulet on there was a voice inside your head. It called itself Cosma and claimed to be the orchestrator of the universe. She rambled on about how you were the lucky one to find this amulet, yada, yada,...
The Fantasy Amulet By Marla Evans Mark wanted this weekend away with his sweetheart to be special... he just never realized how special it WOULD turn out to be. Walking into the hotel lobby, wet from the rain and cranky from the drive, Mark and his sweetheart, Julie, didn't say much... not to each other, and not to the desk clerk. Their relationship had gotten somewhat stale, and this weekend away was to help them reconnect... as friends as well as lovers. Mark paid for...
Las Vegas is one of the more interesting towns on Earth. You've just finished an incredibly boring conference and thought you'd throw a little money down the drain while you were in town. After two hours of feeding the one-armed bandit, you were down to your last ten bucks and decided, on a crazy whim, to throw it all into a single high-payoff slot machine at the center of the Luxor casino. Ten seconds later, you were a multimillionaire. The thing is, that wasn't the strangest thing that...
Mind Control"I wish I had your problems..." An Anonymous Amulet Story A modern fable by Caleb Jones Janet Battle lived with her boyfriend in Seattle. They were pretty much like any young couple. They had a few fights, a few friends, occasionally, a few beers, and more than a few good times spent in each other's company. Janet worked as a secretary at the Whesson Oil Company. Some of her bosses were pretty slick characters and several often hit on her but she loved her boyfriend Frank and always...
People who experience a mysterious event sometimes feel the need for a rational explanation. They seek to explain the unexplainable, and put it safely within a box of reality. Perhaps, they’ll suggest, what you experienced was just a delusion, nothing more than mental musings. But what if an otherworldly explanation is actually the truth? Modern people don’t believe in magic or spirits. I know, as I used to be one of those people. Used to be.I have to start with the fact that I’m a little...

Mind ControlSix months later ... at the new Tribbiani estate... “Wait, where is my amulet? I can’t find it anywhere!” Phoebe panicked now at the vanishing of her Norse amulet that had turned the whole group into a rather lecherous lot of lovers. “Oh, don’t worry about that ... I got it right here. Don’t panic, baby. Think that I’d let anything like that get out of our hands? I love how much it loosened me up,” Mike reassured his bride as he pulled out of Ursula for another few strokes inside her...
This is my first story on this site, please leave your thoughts in the comments and let me know what you think. My name is James Smith, I'm an average looking 22-year-old guy, not exactly fit but also not out of shape, average height, I lived alone in a small apartment, and have a girlfriend that I love with all my heart.

Mind ControlAn Anonymous Amulet Story - Big Sister by J R D Jamie checked the mailbox, pulling the small bundle of letters, magazines, and a couple large envelopes from the box. He heard his sister yell from the upstairs window, "Hey, squirt, get in here!" Jamie sighed. His big sister, Suzie, had always been a bit of a bully, but ever since his mother died last year, she had been an unholy terror. Not that she ever did anything in front of daddy. To him, she was his little angel and could do no...
A Day at the Costume Shop: An Anonymous Amulet Story By Steve Zink Jake had been making plans to go to the costume contest on the Saturday evening of the comic convention, because he was a huge fan of female comic characters and the tight costumes they wore. A lot of girls and women displayed their costumes on the floor of the convention throughout the weekend, but it was the contest that drew out the best. The year before, when Jake had made it to the show for the first time,...
I Wish I Knew: An Anonymous Amulet Story By (Miss) Zagros Carolyn Mingmei Kimiko Wu John Rodriguez was a man with a mission. He decided that for his one-week spring vacation, he would spend the time rediscovering himself with a journey to the East. He intended to meet up with his good friend, Hui Xin Fa, in Hong Kong before departing for the wonders of China. They planned to travel to the mystic three gorges region before it was destroyed by the construction of China's major...
A horse's penis is a very different proposition to that of a human or even of a dog, but Kate was in great need, the hunger she felt for semen so intense and a horse's penis such a fine provider, that only the call of her mistress, Candice, could drag her from her efforts. The horse stood, curiously motionless, while with both her hands and her mouth Kate pummeled and squeezed and twisted and bent and chewed and licked the penis of Firebrand, the noble steed upon which her mistress and the...
Ross awoke at about five in the morning, Eastern Daylight Time, of course. His head pounded and he had to piss pretty badly, but he saw that someone was on the toilet, so he bypassed said person in the dark and simply turned on the shower. Only then did he remember that he had some kind of boxers on and he tossed the wet ones at the wall before letting loose a stream of piss down the drain. It was still dark as fuck in the shower, but he found everything well enough. When he felt two arms...
COL Page had returned to Lop Buri late on Friday and arrived at his office at 0900 hrs on Saturday morning. LTC Hawkins was waiting for him, as their quarters are next to each other, and he was aware that his boss was back. "Here you are, sir," LTC Hawkins said, as he entered his boss's office. "The top report is from last year and the bottom one is from March of this year. After you look them over, I'll tell you what was left out and why." "Left out? Do you mean that these reports...

Black hair and brown eyes "You cannot do that! She is dedicated to the Amulets and is also my friend," Sonsri told him in a loud voice. On hearing this, the new guards shrank back in fear of touching one...
Soon the only ones left there in the mess hall were the CO, Sawyer, Barlow, Morris and me. We all had a second beer. “What the hell is causing these ‘Ammunition Malfunctions’, as everyone is calling them?” the CO asked of no one in particular. “Sir, it has to be sabotage. That much explosive just doesn’t go off by itself. Even if someone were careless, it wouldn’t set off everything like that and apparently at the same time. Although how a saboteur could arrange it all to go off at the same...
Arriving at the unit just after 0730 hrs, there was quite a surprise waiting for me. First, a good number of the students were there and looking at the surprise. Secondly, the cooks were there and making a late morning meal for the men present. Lastly there was what everyone was looking at. A new building had appeared, apparently overnight. It was located at the far end of our building from the road and was centered on the middle barracks and about 12 feet from it. It was a one story masonry...
The following new character appears in this and other chapters: Ratana Also called Noi, house girl, 5'-0'' tall, 98 pounds, 15 years old, 28A-20-25, long black hair, brown eyes, a thin quiet girl We found a small open air restaurant not far from our hotel and had a light lunch. During the meal Chanthra insisted that we change clothes before going to Wat Sala Loy. "Our clothing is wet from sweating and would not be appropriate for a visit to the Wat. It would also be best if we ride...
Back out on the village street, we continued toward the Wat, as the sun was close to setting. We reached the masonry walls around the Wat while the sun was still visible, making it about 1815 hrs. The walls had been painted or whitewashed at some time in the past, but portions of the paint was now peeling. There were gardens of various types of vegetables on both sides of the Wat and presumably behind it also, which were tended by the monks. We passed through the gate into the Wat and looked...
There was no mortar attack that night either, and I made the regular 2100 hrs. report on the new radio. Lt Sykes was there to ask about the chopper. It turned out that all of the aviation assets were busy up north in the Louang Phrabang area, and we would have to wait. Again I went to bed early, as no one had assigned me anything else to do. In the morning at breakfast, Sawyer announced that Sgt Morris would lead a patrol out to one of the nearby villages with Doc Walls along for a medical...
The auctioneer droned on, " who'll give me twenty dollar, twenty dollar, twenty dollar, who'll give me twenty dollar twenty dollar, twenty dollar, come on people, we have a box of antique jewelry that's at least worth ten times what were asking here, we have to move this stuff, so please, someone out there give me twenty dollars!!!" Drew thought about it for another second, and then slowly raised his hand! "Finally, we have a bid of twenty dollars, do I hear twenty five, sold, to the man in the...
EroticDuring the formation, MSG Sorenson checked everyone’s uniform and medals before the Major appeared, and he reported to him that everyone was present. The Major had a few words for us before we prepared to leave for the Airbase. “Nawng-awn should be a peaceful place. However, we will carry our weapons and six magazines of ammunition each just in case it isn’t as peaceful as it is supposed to be. We’ll be leaving for the Team House to draw weapons right after the formation.” He then turned the...
“Uncle!” Suenee said very quietly. The Thai Colonel instantly turned to see who had uttered the word and appeared to be shocked when he saw Suenee standing there. “Suenee! Little Suenee!” he asked in amazement. We were all surprised at this, also. The Colonel then turned back to us. “Suenee isn’t really my niece. Her father has been my friend and adviser since I was a young man. I met him through my father who was his friend and adviser for many years. “I often visited him and his family...
The spirit awakens after being buried in dirt for centuries. His name is Iblis and he has the power to throw sexual thoughts into the hearts of men and women and manipulate them to accomplish them. He was locked up in an amulet and buried under the earth hundreds of years ago to contain his power and prevent him from harming the human race. He hears the sound of digging above him and sends a psychic wave to detect the closest men of this house. It detects a total of 6 people living in this...
Incest18-year-old Ben was walking home from school when he saw it. The pale green amulet that would change his life forever, though he didn't know it. It was lying in the ground with only a small piece out in the open. He picked it up and examined the object. The chain that held it was broken. He noticed writing on it and read it aloud. It looked like Latin. He put it in his pocket and continued on his way home. Ben thought that he might be able to get some money for it from the pawn shop. As Ben...
IncestAlex: An Anonymous Amulet Story By Morpheus 10-year-old Alex Fairfax and his best friend Bobby Mitchel hurried home from school, yelling out "No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher's dirty look!" It had been the last day of school, and both boys were eager to get home (or at least to Alex's house where the Sega was) and begin the serious business of playing video games. Alex was especially looking forward to it. Ever since he'd gotten the Sega for his birthday a week...
Six months later, at the estate of Isabella Rossellini in rural Connecticut... “So, that’s our prenatal vitamin schedule, guys! Each of us ladies must follow this to a tee. Even you, Izzie, and yes, I know that it’s your own house, but this is for your own good!” Monica Geller insisted in her own classic, anal-retentive way. Naturally, Monica squirmed as she tried to ignore the way that Richard Burke’s cum leaked from her naked ass, Tim’s from her pussy, and Chandler’s down the side of her...
Friday morning, it was late before we got up and took Lesia to breakfast. Tweed, Phesila, and Dang were having breakfast when we arrived at the small restaurant near the hotel. We didn’t see anything of the Starlings until that afternoon. This morning there had been a notice on the bulletin board that there would be a formation at 1400 for both A-Teams. We didn’t have any shopping or touring to do, and just stayed in our rooms. Our daughters played together some and after lunch both took a...

"Must you wear the guns here in town?" Chanthra asked looking at me with a frown on her face. That stopped me dead in my tracks. I had never considered not wearing them. Having a weapon at hand had become a way of life for me over the last nineteen plus years that I had been in the Army. It had been reinforced significantly in Korea during the war, and became a way of life when I joined Special Forces a short time after leaving Korea. "Is it necessary, my Champion Mike?" she asked again...
The following new character appears in this chapter: Prince Krom Luang Wongsa Dhiraj Snid Thai Physician and Diplomat, 49th son of King Rama II, 5’-7’’ tall, 165 pounds, 47 years old in 1855, a receding hair line going gray and brown eyes As we neared the camp headquarters building, we could see a very impressive looking coach parked outside of it along with a number of horses that were larger than the normal Thai horses. We also saw that their tack appeared to be of very expensive...
At home that evening, I gave Tweed a general outline of what went on during our meeting with Colonel Page. I didn't disclose what was in the letter or who it was from, as the Major had asked me not to. "So what did you do all day besides wait for us to get back?" I asked, as I finished my explanation. "Oh, I spent some very informative time with Sergeant Daniels. I originally went to see him to find out what he might have of local interest. I got more than I bargained for," Tweed told...
After breakfast at the PX cafeteria in the morning, I went over to finance. They went over my records, while Suenee went back to the room to wait for me. "Damn Sarge, you've been all over the place," the SP/5 clerk said before he got to the Command Sponsorship paper work. He went over that very carefully, and it took some time. "It looks like you have a bunch of money coming," he finally said. "This Command Sponsorship is effective from the date you got married, which was in...

"Sergeant Baker, you and Sergeant Tweed see me immediately after we all check in!" the Major said in a strained voice when he had recovered from the sight of Suenee and Phesila standing outside the hotel with our children. Captain Tamusarit had already walked over to Suenee and greeted her and Phesila with a traditional Thai greeting. "Sawat Dee krup," he said with a smile, as he waied. "Sawat Dee ka," both women replied with a wai and a smile. "It is good to see you again, Suenee...
The following new named character appears in this and other chapters: Sergeant Chuang The Sergeant from Sonsri's guard detail, 5'-6'' tall, 125 pounds, 30 years old, brown eyes, black hair I led the horses back to the open shed-like structure where the water buffalo had previously been kept. One glance inside convinced me that it was not ready for the horses to occupy it. I unsaddled them and took the saddles to the area under the house where they would be dry and reasonable cool...
Things remained quiet for the next week and a-half. The 25th was Christmas, and while it felt a lot more like Christmas up here in the mountains, there was no big celebration. The cooks had received extra food on this week's shipment, and prepared a very nice meal for us on Christmas, but there was no real celebration, no trees or gifts. Of course the Thais don't really celebrate Christmas, but they were happy to join in eating the extra food provided. Payday, the 31st, was on a Wednesday...
Starling had left Operations when I returned, but was soon back with the pieces of his Army Green Class A uniform. Suenee took them and placed them on the chair that she had been sitting on. "I will have these ready when you come on payday for your wedding," she told him. As quietly as she had spoken, the Major had picked up on it, and turned to look at both of them. "What wedding?" he asked. "Sergeant Starling and my student, Noon, will be married on payday when he returns to Chiang...
It was nearly sundown when I heard the commotion coming from the front gate and went out to see what it was. The three Chiefs had returned with the holy man. He was an older man dressed as a Buddhist monk, but his rob was very faded and worn, and he seemed very agitated about something, as they came through the front gate. “What’s up?” I asked Tweed, as I walked up to him. “Don’t know yet. The old guy seems really upset,” Tweed said, as one of the interpreters came toward us. “What’s...

"Several of the...
The following character appears in this chapter and the remainder of the story: Chatchai Sarikalya Lieutenant, a tall thin young Officer, 23 years of age, one of the Platoon Leaders The roosters were very vocal again this morning, and we were up early. On arriving at our area on the camp, I found far fewer men there today than yesterday. Still there were a number of them there and the Sergeants already had them in groups of ten, but hadn't started any processing yet since I had all of...

I went up to the room and checked my AK-47 and its magazines. Mike was there checking his weapon also. "You ever been in a firefight?" he asked, nervously. "No, have you?" I asked. "Me, neither," he answered, and sounded scared. "I wish that I had been able to sight this thing in," I told him. "They told me not to worry about that," he said. "Spray and pray is what they told me. You can't see shit at night." "I could see pretty well last night after the moon came up," I...

The unauthorized patrol returned just before sundown. They had two wounded with them and three extra weapons. "Doc" Walls was ecstatic. He finally had some real wounds to treat and not just the usual run of boils, bites, fevers, sprains and malaria that he saw here. Neither wound was life threatening, but in this heat and humidity, they needed to be treated promptly before they became infected. The CO took Lieutenant Tamusarit, the Platoon Leader and an interpreter into his office. They...
Wednesday the first of March 1967 dawned the same as every other day had. I spent the early morning hours after breakfast straightening up the radio room. It was something I had been putting off since the Teams had left on Friday, but I had decided to get it done this morning. About 1000 hrs 'the Radio' came to life all on its own for no apparent reason. "Any station, any station, this is Cowboy Tango 1 Alpha, over," I heard immediately. In my hurry to get to the radio, I tripped on a...
On returning home on Saturday afternoon after the briefing and the meeting in the backroom of the club, Suenee announced that she, Phesila, and the children would be leaving on Tuesday, the 14th, for Chiang Rai by train. "By train!?" I asked, shocked. "Yes, there is a train to Chiang Mai that we can take from here in the afternoon. We will go as far as Lampang on it. It will be morning when we arrive there. There is a local train that goes from Lampang to Chiang Rai on Monday, Wednesday...
We left the hotel following that for a restaurant which turned out to be the largest and most expensive one in Pak Chong. It was certainly more impressive than the places where we had eaten previously. The building was masonry with a wooden second story. There were many types of meat on display such as roast chicken and duck, there was red barbecued pork cooking over coals still. Just the smells were delicious. There was also the smell of freshly cooked rice and the other items being...
We continued until about noon. The cart only made three or four miles an hour where the road was in good condition, which wasn't always the case. There were a few places where it was so bad that we had to get out, and push the cart from the back while Ute encouraged the buffalo from the front. Thankfully those places were few, but less bad spots than that were frequent. Around noon, Ute pulled the cart off the road, and under the shade provided by some tall trees and stopped. "We stop...
We filed out of the front gate toward the saddle. I handed Tweed the smoke grenade, as we hurried down to the LZ. In just under five minutes, I was in place and ready. I called the chopper again. "Air Cobra 17, this is Golden Badger 3 Zulu. I am popping smoke now," I told him as I signaled Tweed. "I identify green smoke. I say again green." "Roger, Air Cobra 17. I'm down wind of the smoke and ready to guide you in." The chopper that approached then wasn't a Huey either. I...

We formed up the unit on the company street at 0900 hrs, and marched off in a column of platoon shortly following that. The march to the exercise area required more than an hour before we reached the location where we dropped off the First Platoon to begin their portion of the exercise. The other platoons followed in order. Captain Prawit and his assistants would be grading the First and Second Platoons initially, while Sergeant Chung and I would have the Third and Fourth Platoons. We would...
Fields dropped me off at Ploenchit Road and continued back to the Team House, while I walked the few blocks to the Nana. I was soaked when I got there from Bangkok's heat and humidity. The air conditioning in the lobby felt really great. I went up to the room where I found Suenee talking to two of the women who worked at the hotel. The women left just after I arrived and Suenee took one look at me and said, "Shower." I knew better than to argue by now and collected my other clothes and...
The rest of the morning was pretty dull with only a few good bits of conversations to be captured. It wasn't until after lunch that we picked up the Attapu station again. John went to get Ernie while I recorded it. There was shouting again at both ends of the transmission. Ernie was laughing his ass off after he came in. They finally signed off, and Ernie eventually managed to stop laughing enough to talk to us. "What the hell is so funny?" John asked, as he turned from his receiver to...
