Okay, I knew the Xanadu was big but until you look down at it from a few thousand meters you can't really know just how fucking big it really is! Sure I know the specs and you can look them up yourself if you want to: 1,450 meters in length, 524 meters wide, displaces about 180,000 tonnes and carries up to 20,000 passengers with a crew of almost 3,000. That's not a ship, it's a small floating island!
We got a good look at it as we flew out to meet it on the shuttle. Of course it can't pull into port like the cruise ships of old did; it's much too big for that so there are only two ways you can get to it, either by flying like we did or taking the surface skimmers that come out from the ports along the coast as it passes by on its predetermined itinerary. We were one of the last to board on this maiden cruise since it had filled up moving down the east coast of North America.
I have to admit I was kind of looking forward to it although the thought of being cooped up with 23,000 of my closest non-friends didn't thrill me overly much but I figured what the hell, if I couldn't find something to do in fifty-plus million cubic meters of ship then something was wrong with me. We had fourteen days to ramble around this hulk and find what kind of trouble we could get into and from what I'd seen in the brochure if I got to even half of it I'd be lucky. I mean there are over fifty-some bars on the barge alone not counting the four large dance venues as they called them. Crap! How many bars do you need? I know I only need one. Hell, Mike could get thrown out of three a night and still not use them up! At least the booze is included in the ticket; I'd hate to see what her tab would run if it wasn't. Actually I had a pretty good idea since I've seen the one she runs at Bennie's; I paid it off all the time. Yeah, I'm what the head-shrinks would call an enabler but I can't help myself; so sue me.
We gave the appropriate ooh's and aah's as the shuttle made its circle of the X prior to setting down and even more once we passed through the boarding tube in the receiving area. Our luggage was automatically taken from the belly of the shuttle and forwarded to our assigned rooms after finishing with whatever security checks they had to do with it, so it was just us bellying up to the receiving counter to get checked in.
"What do you think they're doing with our stuff?" Mike asked almost nervously.
"Standard scans and sweeps, I suppose," I answered with a shrug.
"Why? You afraid someone will be pawing through your panties?" Brian teased.
"I'm not worried about that," Mike shot back. "I didn't bring any."
"Ouch," Brian winced covering his eyes. "I didn't need that vision. My brain's going to hurt for a day now."
"Lucky for you that's going to be a really small pain," Mike said punching him in the arm.
"Quiet, children," I sighed. "Mike, you didn't bring any heat with you did you? You know damn well you can't and they'd be looking for it."
"No, not exactly," she said trying to look completely innocent. She doesn't pull that off terribly well.
"What do you mean "not exactly"," I said through gritted teeth.
"Well, I might of brought a blade or two," she muttered looking everywhere except at me.
"Mike," I growled. "If they throw your ass in the brig, I'm going to let you rot there till we leave."
"But it's only a knife or two, Boss," she protested. "Or three or four. But it's not like they don't have knives on board here. It's not like they're going to find them anyway," she muttered under her breath.
"Whatever," I sighed. "Just don't expect me to visit you in whatever bilge they chain you to." By that time it was our turn to check in which was easy enough. ID into the slot, retinal scan to confirm I was really me and a slim, almost transparent band fastened around the wrist.
"What's this?" I asked of the girl behind the counter with the incredibly large and mostly visible breasts. Yes, she did have a face, I think. And eyes, but don't quote me on that; mine never got that high.
"Ship's identification, sir," she answered. I doubt she even noticed where I was staring. She probably got that a thousand times a day. "All our guests must wear them. It allows you access to all guest areas on board and automatically charges your account if there are extras you want that are not included in your package." From what I could tell the only things not included in the price of the ticket were bed companions or excursions ashore; neither of which I was particularly interested in. Bed companion because while I have nothing against pros — I'm sure they're very good at what they do — I've always figured if I can't entice a lady to want to spend some time in my bed the old-fashioned way — and no, I'm not talking about a club to the head and dragging her back to my cave by the hair — then I don't deserve it.
As far as the excursions go I'd been to most of the islands we were going to pass by and it wasn't as a tourist. There weren't many pleasant memories in those places for me. Yeah, maybe someday I'll go back if for no other reason than to see what they looked like not torn to shit and maybe to put a few ghosts to bed finally, but not yet.
Amazingly enough alarms didn't start screaming nor did the local cops drop by to sweep Mike off her feet and personally escort her to a special room with plastisteel bars and toilets with no seats. I'm not sure what that says about their security although maybe they don't consider edged implements to be weapons worthy of notice which speaks not only to their security but also their intelligence. But at least that wasn't my freaking problem; all I had to look forward to was two weeks of fun, fun, fun on the world's newest playground.

The man walked quickly down the corridor casting furtive glances over his shoulder now and then. Even thought it was the cheapest berthing on the ship — the Belmont Line described it as Economy Class — it was still brightly lit and well appointed. The cabins were on the interior with no true exterior windows and on the lower decks which explained the slightly reduced fares.
Satisfied he wasn't being followed, he doubled back slightly and pressed the announcer on the door jamb. Seconds later he received an answer to his call.
"Who is it?" came a gravely voice from the nearly invisible speaker.
"Jim, it's me, Bill," the man at the door answered in hushed tones. There was no reply except a soft click from the door so he pressed down the handle and pushed his way in.
"What do you want, Mr. Brown?" the only other occupant of the room asked as the door closed behind him.
"I just wanted to let you know all of us are in our rooms, Jim."
"That's 'Mr. Black', you idiot!" the man hissed and Jim shied back just a little. Mr. Black was imposing at best and intimidating any other time. Of average height, he was trim but heavily muscled with piercing blue eyes that were cold as the ice they resembled. "You're supposed to use our covers at all times! What the fuck are you doing here? We're not supposed to know each other and here you are in my stateroom! Jesus Christ, you moron, what the fuck are you trying to do? Blow the operation before it even gets started?"
"N ... no, of course not, Bi ... ah, Mr. Black," Jim stammered. "I just wanted to tell you we're all here and ready to go. Don't worry; nobody followed me. I made sure of that."
"Christ on a crutch, you idiot," Mr. Black said holding up his wrist displaying the ships identification band. "They don't have to follow you; this does it for them!"
"Holy God," Mr. Black sighed lifting his eyes upward. "Please help me tolerate the less fortunate of your children before I have to kill them just to put them out of their misery." Lowering his eyes back down to the shaken Mr. Brown, he sighed, shook his head and continued, "Okay, it's probably not a big deal right now but for the Lord's sake, follow the plan! Fine, you're all in place, that's good. Anything else?"
"I don't think so," Jim shook his head and then paused. "Oh yeah, where did we come up with these stupid names? I mean come on, Mr. Black, Mr. Brown, Mr. Blue, Mr. Green, Mr. Gray and Mr. White? They sound ridiculous."
"They came from an old two-dee vid about a team of robbers taking and holding a tube train hostage for ransom," Mr. Black chuckled. "I used the names mostly as a joke." Jim was surprised; if he could have bet a New Dollar against a million he would have bet Mr. Black had no sense of humor whatsoever. "Don't worry; I doubt anybody alive today has ever seen it. It's safe enough."
"Okay, if you say so," Brown shrugged. "But we ain't looking for ransom. How does that fit?"
"Just go," Black said closing his eyes briefly in silent prayer. After Mr. Brown left Black sat down and mused, Maybe I should leave his dumb ass on board when we're done. That cocksucker is too stupid to live.
-Sumalee-
Afternoons are the worst. You would think they would be the easiest and in a way you would be right. They are the slowest part of the day except for maybe mid-morning but I think the worst part about them is I know my shift has just started and now I have another twelve hours before I can kick off these damn torture devices called high heels and slip into bed for a few hours sleep or if I'm lucky a little loving before it starts all over again. I know I shouldn't complain; there must be two-hundred-thousand girls in Thailand Province alone that would kill for the chance to be where I am, but I still do, at least to myself.
My story wasn't that much different from thousands of others I have heard. When I first met Daniel Mayhem, I was twenty-four which meant I had grown up during the time of Consolidation as our Chinese administrators normally referred to it or The War as most of the Westerners and the rest of the world would say. Being young and knowing no different, I could not honestly say it was a better or worse than Thailand had been under the old juntas. From what Daniel has told me about other parts of the world, the spread of the Chinese into most of Southeast Asia was relatively bloodless and quick. One day there were Thai troops watching our streets and the next day they were Chinese. For the most part we hardly noticed the difference.
Of course we weren't Muslim. At least the Muslin population in Thailand had been relatively small. Estimates before the Consolidation had been between ten and fifteen percent; naturally afterwards it was effectively zero. At least we were not in Indonesia where it has been estimated almost ninety percent of the population had been "neutralized." Even now I feel like I should be feeling horror over the virtual extermination of millions maybe even billions of human beings but I cannot; the numbers are too large for me to fathom. Daniel once told me, "The death of one is a tragedy, a million a statistic and a billion is a trend." He admitted it wasn't original with him but it still rings of sad truth. To feel for the death of a loved one is human but how do you grieve for the death of billions? He just shrugs and says not to try; it is not possible and maybe he is right. I know that I cannot.
I have been asked so many times what it was like the first time we met. It would be romantic to say it was love at first sight, something like, "Our eyes met and in an instant we knew our souls had found their one true match." Unfortunately, as Daniel would say, that is bullshit. Of course he tells me that it was lust at first sight and I am willing to allow him this fleeting brush with honesty. I never considered myself unattractive and yet if he felt an overwhelming feeling of lust towards me that first day he certainly controlled it extremely well!
The romantic stories and silly historical-drama vids aside, our first meeting was remarkably unremarkable. For the most part he strolled into the lounge where I was working, sat down at the bar and ordered a scotch. I will admit he was an attractive man: not overly tall, close cropped hair and a ready smile, but certainly not vid-star handsome. Just another man.
"Hi there," he said pleasantly. "I'll have a scotch, straight up."
"Any particular brand?" I asked.
"Just whatever you have as bar scotch," he replied. "Unless it's the real good stuff I can't tell the difference and even then only for the first couple of sips. Besides the bar scotch is free; anything else, I'd have to pay extra."
"Very good, sir." It only took me a moment or two to bring him his drink. Usually I try to avoid the single male customers after I have served them; it gets trying being propositioned a hundred or so times a night and starting it this early in the shift would be nothing but a real bother. Maybe it was some of that bartender's extra-sensory perception we are supposed to develop, or maybe my doctorate in clinical psychology, but for some reason I felt he was not the kind that would do that. However I would prefer to think it was my woman's intuition. For whatever reason, I stayed near him doing those silly little things bartenders do when they are not serving.
"So, Sumalee," he said looking at my ship's identification tag. Normally this would be an occasion for a man to stare at my breasts. Although I am not particularly large-chested the uniform we wear does put what little I have on prominent display. He didn't, though — stare, that is. Oh, he looked and he seemed to appreciate what he saw but he didn't stare and drool like so many others would have. "Been a long day already? Is it usually this dead in here?"
"I just started my shift and yes, for the most part it is fairly quiet around this time." His eyes had returned to mine even before I had started my answer. It is difficult to say what it was I was really feeling at that time. I don't care who she is, a woman enjoys being appreciated as a woman. I have talked to professional prostitutes and they tell me the same thing. Even one who is paid to have sex with a man still enjoys being treated as a woman and not just the vehicle for what is really just assisted masturbation. He looked at me and enjoyed what he saw even though it was obvious he had no intention of doing anything more than just visually appreciating me. It was nice and unusual and yes, I enjoyed the attention without the pressure of having to fend him off.
He must have been there for about half an hour and even though there were one or two other customers during that time I always seemed to gravitate back to his seat. I would like to say I remember everything we had talked about that first time but in all honesty I cannot. The conversation flitted from one topic to another almost randomly: the ship, my job, my family and my education. Come to think about it now, it seemed like we talked mostly about me. That he was a veteran of The War came up but only in passing as was the fact he was here because a friend asked him. It wasn't until after he had left that I came to realize he had been thoroughly, skillfully and quite unintentionally seducing me.
Yes it was unintentional, I truly believe, and he swears to this day he was not, whether it was intentional or unintentional. The fact remains he was seducing me and of even greater surprise was the fact I neither resented nor desired to actively oppose it!
Surprising in two ways: I consider myself to be thoroughly bi-sexual; that is I enjoy sex with either women or men although I admit I tend to prefer women more than men. I am a bit aggressive sexually and this has a tendency to result in conflicting personalities with men who are also for the most part sexually aggressive. I enjoy women's soft bodies and revel in their submissiveness and complete surrender when I finally complete my conquest. I have never felt completely comfortable in the same way when I have been with a man. It was my nature, or so I thought.
Secondly, I would never have contemplated getting seriously involved with one of the passengers. There was no hard and fast ship's policy against it but there were professionals retained as crew to do that if the passenger wished. For one of the regular crew to have liaison with a passenger even for non-monetary reasons was frowned upon. It was tactfully viewed as the purview of the professionals, especially since a portion of their compensation was returned to the ship.
Even if it were not frowned upon, I have never had a desire for short term dalliances. I do not do one-night stands as the NoAm's would say. My roommate/lover at the time and I had been together for the six months we had been in training during the work-up for this opening and even though there was little more emotional involvement than just friendship, it was the least I was willing to do. I may be varied in my sexual appetites but I am not promiscuous.
All of which astounded me upon reflection as to why this man, a fairly unremarkable man among thousands, with very little effort could have had me on my back and playing sheet music as he so crudely puts it.
Looking back, maybe that first meeting was more memorable than I had first thought.
-Daniel-
After checking in we found our way up to our cabins which were all grouped together on one of the top decks. The cabin or "suite" as I found out later was huge! At least it seemed so to me. You could have easily bunked my entire team in there without even rubbing elbows. But as big as the main room was the bed was even bigger. Okay, not really but it sure seemed to be. I swear it was big enough to sleep five unfriendly people without having to worry about touching each other. What in the hell did anyone need with a bed that big?
Anyway it only took me a few minutes to stow the few things I'd brought with me and I went to find out what everybody else was up to. Weird was the only one left and he was taking the virtual tour of the engineering spaces. Well he is Weird. I didn't ask but I'd be willing to bet the program he was watching wasn't the glossy pabulum designed for the average passenger, not with the schematics and technical info I could see on the holo-tank. I briefly considered if I should worry about him hacking the ship's system that quickly but shrugged it off. The chances they would catch him were so remote as to be essentially nonexistent; let him have his fun. I figured I should probably be more worried about Mike out roaming unfettered but gave that up as a lost cause almost immediately. Starting that would lead to two weeks of constant aggravation and besides if she got into trouble and they threw her in the brig at least I'd know where she was.
So I took off to do a little exploring of my own and wouldn't you know one of the first things I found was a bar. I figured I was already four or five drinks behind Mike by now so a little catching up might be in order. The place was dead with just a couple of other people in there. I think the servers outnumbered the patrons so I decided not to bother them and bellied up to the bar and plopped my butt down.
The bartender was a pretty little thing: Oriental for sure, but maybe of mixed race. She had shiny black hair pulled back in a ponytail and two of the biggest, black eyes I have ever seen, the kind of eyes that you can't actually see where the iris and the pupil separate they were so dark, just huge pools of black ink surrounded by white.
I ordered a scotch and glanced down at her nametag. Sumalee was her name and below that was her country of origin, Thailand Province, Greater China. She was a tiny little thing; I doubt she'd even come up to my chin but she was definitely well proportioned, I can tell you that! Her uniform left no doubt she was female although compared to the servers she was almost overdressed. Their uniforms, or costumes more accurately, brought two words to mind: dental floss. Okay, they brought a lot more to mind than just those two words but other than saying they were eye candy we'll just leave it at that. Besides I had all the eye candy I needed right there at the bar.
Interlude: Pat and Brad The doorbell chimed its warning and Patricia slowly made her way to the front of the house to answer it. Fucking debt collectors, she thought tiredly. Haven't they figured out you can't get blood from a stone? We already live in government housing. What the hell else do they think they can take away from us? One more month, Harold, just one more God-damned month! Patricia's husband had died almost eight years before in the last month of the war leaving behind his...
-Sumalee- To say it had been an interesting evening would be an understatement. The relationship Daniel has with his team would make for a lifetime study by any clinical psychologist. We met two more of them that night: the brothers Stanley and Samuel. Their reaction to Lidia and myself was fascinating. It was almost like they had known us as long as Michelle, Brian and Nathan; almost like they had shared memories. As I said, fascinating, exciting and just a little intimidating. Not that...
-Daniel- "God-damn it good to see you, you old fart!" Antigua sighed when we finally came up for air. Or at least she did; I'm not so sure I had any say in the matter whatsoever. "It's good to see you again too, squirt," I chuckled. "I guess you want me to give him back now, don't you?" she asked somebody over my shoulder. "Sooner or later," I heard Alee laugh. "Down girl! Behave yourself," I said smacking her bottom lightly. "Well, that isn't going to do it," she...
The locker room was quiet -- except for locker doors closing, cleats tapping on the concrete floor, and hushed, one-on-one meetings all over the locker room area. Tim Murphy was sitting in what had become his spot to prepare for the upcoming game mentally, but he was not thinking about the game in a couple of hours. Instead, he was going over the last, very unusual school week. There was no backlash from the fight with Tommy and his friends in the restroom. Tim expected to be called to...
Sitting through class and waiting to tell the news of what happened last night after she dropped him off at home was sheer torture. With a couple of minutes left in his English class, Tim pulled up the website on his laptop and got it ready to show his teacher. He had thought it over all night before he went to bed and again during morning practices and other classes. Tim decided to give her the information and let her decide what she wanted to do. If necessary, he could tell her what he did...
-Sumalee- I was happier than I probably should have been when Daniel walked into my lounge again the next day and sat down at the bar. I could not tell you exactly why I was happy he had returned but I was. I mean ... looking at him through unbiased eyes he is not particularly handsome, other than in an everyman, rugged sort of way. But he was nice and listened, laughed at my silly jokes and seemed to be enjoying talking to me for a reason other than just a ploy to separate me from my...
-Sumalee- It was still dark when I woke up that first night although I could see a little in the dimness from the small amount of moonlight shining in through the window. I rubbed my cheek on the warm surface I was sprawled on and smiled when I was rewarded by the scratchy roughness of Daniel's chest hairs. I hadn't moved a centimeter from where I had fallen asleep and neither had he. I was still face down on his chest as he lay on his back. He was not snoring but I could hear and feel the...
-Mr. Black- "Do you have the vest made up?" Black asked as Green frowned at him. "Yeah, sort of," Green replied. Before Black could ask the obvious question he continued. "The gel is setting up and will be ready at the same time everything else is. It'll go off; no problem. No, the problem is the detonator; actually the remote activator for the detonator. This wasn't exactly in the mission plans so we didn't bring that kind of equipment with us. I was able to adapt an old raghead...
Gossip rags are like cockroaches: there are millions of them everywhere and you just can't kill them. The names change from "Galaxy" to "Nova" to "Star Struck" but they're all the same. I never saw the cameras nor the low-lifes behind them but starting the next day there were pictures of Tink on the back of my bike all over the bloody things. Apparently I was her sex-slave, or she was my kidnap victim or some other outrageous bullshit. It was annoying. Luckily I don't answer my...
“Damn, man,” Frank Robinson fumed as he slammed his right hand and forearm on the roof of the Ford Explorer. “Why the fuck did you do that, man?” Tim was about to slide into the passenger seat but stopped himself and stood back up to look at the driver and captain of the defensive side of the school’s varsity football team. “What are you talking about? I got a map to the real party right here,” Tim answered, a bit confused by his friends’ change in attitude. “Dude, never. Never. Never....
-Daniel- Okay, I'll admit it: life could be a lot worse. The next couple of days were pretty much ideal, in fact. I got to see a whole lot more of the ship than I'd first anticipated. The dining rooms and bars were nice but nothing special for the most part; you've seen one you've seen them all. The shows were fun I'll admit; we got to see Teresa dance in her show a couple of times and in my inexpert opinion she was pretty good. They all were. I even got to meet the whole dance troupe...
I woke up to a pair of black eyes staring into mine only centimeters away. "I must be in heaven," I whispered. "Well," Leanne replied with a slight grin on her lips. "Ah will say of all the first words ya could have when returning from the dead those certainly saved yer arse a stern talking to." "I love you," I whispered again. "I wanted to say that before they..." "Enough," she said placing a finger lightly over my lips. "We know and that's enough." Her fingers moved up to...
The congratulatory pats on the back and raucous shaking from the freshman football team still in the locker room were easily heard outside the locker room where many parents and fans were waiting for the player-of-the-game to come out. Tim finished transferring his stuff from the freshman locker area into the JV locker room. Johnnie and the rest of Tim’s friends were sitting around waiting for him so they could make an appearance at the Sombrero Rosa’s across the street where many of the...
“So, you didn’t see anyone when you got out of the restroom?” Raymond asked his son while the two were in the front yard doing a final rinse of all the paint splashed on the family car. “No, sir. I opened the door and looked both ways, but no one was there, and a few minutes later, when I left the locker room, I also didn’t see anyone,” Tim answered but paused before continuing. “Now that I think about it, Dad. I didn’t even see the guys leave the restroom. I didn’t hear any rumors about...
The coin flip at the start of the game was interesting. The Churchill Chargers sent their entire offensive line to the fifty-yard line to meet the captains for the Roosevelt Rough Riders. The five young men were not precisely marching, but it looked as if they walked in perfect step with each other. It wasn’t with the same timing as a military march, but the center would take action, then the guards on either side would step, followed by the tackles on the outside. It was almost...
There was something different in the locker room the following Monday morning before practice. Tim could almost feel it in the air as he entered. The normal early birds were already getting ready for first-period practice and, as usual, Tim was the first freshman to arrive. He was not alone for long, though. Others would begin arriving in a few minutes. After gathering his locker basket and changing into his workout shirt and shorts, Tim heard the main door to the locker room slam against...
Monday morning, the change in the emotions of the student body was palpable. While the student body usually disregarded the results of the football team’s accomplishments, school pride was evident this day. Not only was their happiness of the win over Judson wafting strongly through the halls, but the following weekend was also Homecoming. This year, the Roosevelt Rough Riders were facing the Robert E. Lee Volunteers. The student body was already making plans for celebrating the next win over...
-Tampa- "Whatever are you fretting about, Bradley?" Grace Duev asked from under her big pink floppy hat. She had pulled her sunshades down and was peering at him over the rims with her gray eyes. "Nothing, Grace," he responded while moving again in his lounger putting the lie to his answer. "Bullshit," Patricia added and Brad's eyes swerved to look at her. "You're squirming like a slug on a hot rock. What put a burr up your shorts?" "Maybe it's too hot for him," Samantha...
“Hey, Hunk! How’s your day going so far?” Cindy Diefendorf, the buxom blonde ‘Queen of the School,’ asked while Tim switched books for his next classes. Because of Tim’s popularity, the many different websites devoted to Tim were continually looking for new information about their subject. Therefore, Cindy knew that, after his math class and before his English class, Tim went to his locker to exchange his math book for the bulkier English textbook. Cindy Diefendorf was leaning against the...
The mood in the locker room was euphoric. A true party atmosphere. The coaches usually spent a few minutes outside of the locker room during halftime of a game, to give the team leaders time to go over the play of their teammates. Then the coaches would come in and tell them what they saw during the first half, and then together, they would try to correct problems and plan for what to do in the second half. These were all severe concentration and serious work times for the game, even if the...
Monday morning. Tim could feel something in the air was ‘off’ as soon as he walked into the locker room. It was deathly quiet. Tim expected the spirits of his fellow football players to be high after the last weekend of Roosevelt football success. The JV and Freshman teams easily won their games against MacArthur, and the elation of the varsity win was still riding high if the number of requests for interviews in his email were to serve as a barometer. Tim quickly learned, though, that the...
“I can’t believe it. Still, no luck.” Alicia Martinez, a young reporter with KSAT-TV in San Antonio, got an early jump on the story of the year: an apparent riot broke out at a high-end, popular downtown restaurant. According to her sources, the riot was not a simple fight getting out of hand but also involved international star singer/songwriter/model/actress Olivia King and her boyfriend, YungBalla69. He was an Internet billionaire and notorious “traveling sideshow” of bad boy behavior. To...
“Murphy!” yelled Big John Fontana. The Theodore Roosevelt High School’s head coach and athletic director had just blown the final whistle for Monday morning practice. “Give me a second, son.” Tim Murphy finished his conversation with his friends before turning back toward the coaches. He and the other players were returning to the locker room for showers before beginning their regular school day. “Yeah, Coach?” Tim replied with his helmet under one arm. “I got a call from my old friend...
-Lidia- "Oh?" the eyebrows going up again. "I would have sworn you have met before." "Well," he chuckled not releasing my arm. His hand felt warm and powerful; I couldn't have broken away if I had wanted to. "We did meet, but very briefly. Although I understand she did get to see me at my best: flat on my face with junk sticking out of my back. I've been told she even started to patch me up for which I owe her more thanks than I can say. Sumalee, this is the woman who was starting...
-Lidia- I was nervous, excited and quivering with anticipation. I was no blushing virgin although I had been with only five men before I met Danny and Alee but I felt like this was my first time. It was hard walking down the passageway, not because we'd had too much to drink although Alee and I had split a bottle of champagne between dances and Danny had one or two of those disgusting whisky things he drinks. I have no idea how he can drink that stuff. I took a sip of his while he was...
-Daniel- Yes, everything appeared to be coming together. That isn't to say some mighty strange things didn't happen. There was this one time I remember ― it was just a couple of weeks before the wedding and the girls had just gone back to the Xanadu for the last time ― Mike wandered into the office looking bemused. "You looked bemused," I said demonstrating my superior ability to point out the obvious. "Befuddled, anyway," she admitted. She flopped down in a chair and kicked her legs...
- Daniel- They were already there when I arrived which was a bit embarrassing since I'd tried to come early specifically to be there before them. There were four in addition to Top and Mike who was hovering around in the background trying to blend into the crowd which in a vet bar wasn't difficult. "If I'd known I was going to be the last one I'd have made a grand entrance," I quipped reaching down to shake the first hand I could reach. "Bill Maker, St. Petersburg," said the short,...
Tim’s father Raymond considered the chance to go with his son to his first football game something of a bonding opportunity. Going to the first varsity football game with his son and his son’s new best friends was like chocolate sprinkles on the desert. So Raymond and Tim with Johnnie Boynes, Mark Mazzurana, Jeff Green and Tony Parker were cruising toward Northside Stadium, home field for the Warren Warriors. Everyone was excited because they were all going to get a small taste of their first...
Juanita didn’t exactly know what to do to get Tim ready for his first game. Her initial feelings were to make a good solid breakfast, for him to have enough energy for the game. Raymond came in for his cup of coffee and was able to confirm what she was thinking, but she was making too much food. “Honey, what are you doing? Pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, cinnamon rolls. Good God, dear, we’ll never be able to finish all this off,” Raymond was rubbing her shoulders from...
-Brian- It had taken awhile to get Allison calmed down and it wasn't easy, let me tell ya. Christ, the poor girl was completely overwhelmed and totally shell-shocked. If I'd had my med-kit with me I'd of tranked her (For those of you not lucky enough to have needed the services of a field medic it means I'd slip her an shot of Don't-give-a-shit juice and tranquilize her.) but I didn't and as my daddy always said, "Wish in one hand, and shit in the other and guess which one fills up...
-Tampa- Brad glided into the parking area outside Grace's apartment complex and thumbed off the power. As much as he loved his bike it wasn't the first time he regretted not having one of the older IC-powered two-wheelers. His baby was a blast to ride but the almost silent hydrogen-fueled power cell just wasn't the same as one of the older piston-banging throbbers. He'd heard rumors that someone was going to introduce a replica of the old Harley-Davidson line using a...
His smile was wide as he made his way down the hall to his room. He heard his mother showering and going through her processes for bed. His dad just gave a halfhearted hello as he walked past their bedroom door. His dad was busy watching TV. Tim turned on the overhead light as he entered his room and immediately closed and locked the door. He quickly blew a kiss to Cindy on the wall, sat down at the desk, and was taking off his shoes when his mom knocked. Tim unlocked the door. “Hey, I...
I didn't stay long at the party ― it was their party, not mine ― and hiked back up to the flying bridge. I sat there for a while and burned one while thoughts flew through my head. What had I gotten myself in for? Was it more than a little flirting? (Okay, I knew it was more than just flirting, but how much more?) The only thing I knew for sure was that I didn't want it to stop no matter where it led. The weather guessers were right about the front coming in, for once. By 0100 it was...
Top came back a little over an hour later grinning like a mad fiend at the same time Weird surfaced from his daze. "The East Bay warehouses," Top announced triumphantly. "That checks," Weird nodded. "The first tracker on her limo stopped transmitting about midnight, just about the time she was supposed to have left the party. The second one didn't stop until they got right here." He placed his finger on a map of the Bay area. It was an area just west of East Bay. At one time there...
We couldn't tell how closely they had been watching Tink's house or even if they were so we didn't head straight there. I'm sure it would have been safe enough but I didn't want to take even the small chance of getting into a firefight. Besides I had no desire to see Cynthia right then and Tink didn't want to go back home just yet. Tink did call her to briefly say she was okay and would be home soon. Luckily I had to only hear half of that conversation. "I'm fine, Mom," Tink said...
A Man of Wealth and Taste Raymond Murphy had trouble keeping the smile off his face. His son Tim was going on and on about how cool it was being on the sidelines for the varsity football win against the Clark Cougars. The first half of football featured an unsure Roosevelt team going up against a Clark team who, though good, was not up to their usual standards and was going to have a down year. Roosevelt was not expected to make the playoffs. “I’m telling you, Dad, Frank Robinson looked...
Leonard Huffnagle was having a lot of trouble looking for dirt on Tim Murphy from San Antonio Roosevelt High School. The only tangible thing he was able to confirm was that Tim had gifted the Trojan iPad, given by Coach Andrew Thomas of IMG Academy, to his little sister, Carmen. IMG was known for recruiting the best high school football players from across the country and giving them highly specialized coaching to better prepare them for college football. Kids graduating from IMG often...
Rodney Valentine’s throat was sore from his screaming. His knuckles were scratched and bruised from pounding on that poor, unsuspecting asshole who didn’t know any better. Rodney was especially pissed because no one could figure out why he was so pissed off in the first place. Valentine and his posse of teammates arrived at the house party a little bit later than everyone else, as usual. It was an unwritten rule that the host of the party would have the game highlights from that weekend’s...
Tim, Troy, Rob, Frank, and Jeff were quiet most of the way on the drive to the address included with their multi-colored cards found in their lockers after the beating the Rough Riders had given to the Johnson Jaguars. The five young men crammed into Jeff’s GTO were mostly quiet, daydreaming about the story Troy had told them. “I think I know what this is. You guys feel like having an experience?” Troy asked with a strange, tilted smile. “My dad told me a story that he said I could never...
A Messy Situation Once Tim Murphy closed his bedroom door and turned on the bedroom lamp, he blew a quick kiss to his one-and-only Cindy, taped up on the wall, and collapsed on the bed with the biggest smile of his life. Tim was quietly reliving what had happened to him after the game. When he laughed to himself, he realized he didn’t even think about the game when the great time he had that night ran through his mind. The quiet knock on the bedroom door alerted him to the here and now. The...
Tim Murphy and the nanites in his body had already written the two reports – one for his English class and the other for his US History class. It was just a matter of typing and formatting the report in the proper sets. All in all, the two assignments only took a few minutes to type, save, and email to their respective teachers. When he sent his English paper, he had a flash of remembrance of his short relationship with his English teacher, Julianne Holmes, considered one of the hot teachers...
The week of practice started with a few announcements from Big John on Monday morning. Big John had canceled morning practice with a sign written on the giant dry erase board along the long wall in the locker room. He didn’t cancel all practice, but it would be just no helmets or pads. That meant a full hour of lifting weights rather than working out on the practice fields in full pads – a day off for sure. Before practice would have typically begun, the Roosevelt football teams met in the...
Going into downtown San Antonio for evening dinner was rare for the Murphy family. Of course, they went out to dinner occasionally but not very far from their neighborhood. Raymond had ordered the women in his life to a day of indulgence at their favorite beauty spa to get pampered and eventually have their makeup done. While the womenfolk were enjoying their day of pampering, the men folk went to fill a glaring hole in the younger Murphy man’s life: the lack of a nice suit. Tim had never...
As they did so often, the Murphy family sang along with the music on the radio. The Murphy parents both enjoyed all genres and encouraged their children to listen to all types of music. Juanita had her favorites and listened to them with the specialized music channels through the cable provider. She preferred the popular hits from the 1980s and 1990s, while Raymond also preferred that and rock music from the 1970s. The patriarch of the family steered into a parking lot nearby the...
The next day was moving day. I've heard how being out on tour with an entertainer can seem a little like riding a tornado without a safety belt but you couldn't tell that by me. I've heard how some tours play twenty cities in twenty days but that isn't how things are done in Ireland. Time seems less important and venues aren't always open when you want them to be. We were doing 25 shows in three months and that included a two-week break in the middle to "relax." Not exactly an arduous...
The next few weeks were just plain work. It probably seems like touring with a popular band would be great fun and endless adventure but mostly it was a lot like combat: endless hours of boredom interrupted by moments of shear terror. Well, terror is probably a bit of an overstatement, maybe agitation and concern would be more appropriate. Anytime the girls were heading into a large crowd there was a concern; happily we hadn't had anything like the clusterfuck we'd seen in Clonakilty but...
The beating on the window got Raymond’s attention first. The stranger was pounding on the window and attempting to open the drivers-side door. Neither were budging. Raymond took control of his faculties and assessed his current situation. The airbags deployed nicely and had stopped him from diving head-first through the windshield. He gave it a couple of pats of appreciation. Then he began a checklist for any possible injuries. His arms moved without any trouble. The fingers on his hand were...
The skipper of my boat was a man of few words it seemed for he maintained a taciturn silence as we sailed away from the island. I didn’t mind the lack of communication. I huddled miserably in the stern of the fishing boat, lost in my own thoughts and hardly in a mood to talk. My tear blurred eyes were fixed upon the dwindling view of the island as we left it far astern. Soon it was nothing but a pinprick on the horizon and shortly afterwards I lost it in the afternoon haze. It felt as if...
One day (I suppose it must have been after I’d spent about two months on the island) I was down along the shoreline collecting driftwood. On these occasions I always kept my eye open for anything else that might be of any use and this day I had a real find. Washed up against some rocks a few yards off the beach was a large plastic garbage bin. An old discarded garbage bin might not seem anything to get excited about but it was as good as treasure from King Solomon’s mines as far as I was...

When I awoke the next morning I was alone. I rose up from my bed amidst the ruins of the villa and peered around cautiously. There was no sign of her. Carefully I tip-toed out from the ruins and conducted a quick scan of the surroundings. The little olive grove was quite deserted other than the small creatures with which I shared the island. These seemed busy at this early hour. There was a little dark grey bird singing from the scrub at the edge of the olive grove. It had a musical voice I...
This story has taken me forty years to tell and I only finally relate it now in the firm conviction that nobody will believe a single word of it. In many respects that doesn’t concern me. I have other motives than those of persuading the reader of the veracity of my tale. I write it more to exorcise a ghost that has haunted me for most of my adult life and will doubtless continue to do so for the rest of my days. It is a story, the memory of which, has been my constant companion these past...

Mike lowered his binoculars and pushed the throttle forward to its maximum. It would be an exaggeration to say that his elderly cabin cruiser surged ahead. A large cloud of black smoke and a series of backfires belched from the exhaust, the ancient hull vibrated and slowly the revs increased.The inappropriately named “Queen of the Waves” lurched and protested as the speed built up to 15 knots.Through his binoculars Mike had seen hundreds of gannets diving into the water. He knew what that...

When we were first married, my wife and I had landed a sweet deal as the caretakers of a historic property on the coast of Maine . We were newlyweds without a lot of money, but we lived in a small cottage over looking the harbor in one of those quintessential towns that the modern world had passed by. Lobster boats still worked during the day and in the evenings pleasure boats plied the waters. It was a short walk along the river to a cliff encircled harbor beach that hosted a...
