Daniel wakes surrounded by the stench of blood and vomit with the cold fluids pooling around his body. Awakening suddenly to the stench Daniel sits up and his world begins to spin as more bile builds up in his throat. Leaning forward as much as he can Daniel spews his stomach contents on the stained asphalt of the alleyway, blood and chunks of what can only be described as bone mixed in with what he last had to eat.
Slowly standing to his feet and using a near dumpster to steady himself Daniel begins to try and make the world quit spinning around him in fear that he feel throw up again even though he can’t feel anything left in his stomach.
Dripping blood and vomit Daniel begins to make his way down the alley, his bare feet making slapping sounds that echo down the narrow path and his eyes seemed glazed over and he looks barely aware of where he is. The heavy smell of urine and trash that permeates the alleyway goes unnoticed for now but the trash he stumbles on and the paper sticking to his feet begin to become a nuisance. Catching a large piece of scrap wood with his right foot Daniel falls to the asphalt barely catching himself before his head has a chance to bounce off of the solid surface.
As he holds himself up on hands and knees the heavy scent of urine finally reaches him in his half daze and Daniel begins to dry heave in an attempt to empty his stomach even though there is nothing left to be purged.
The door to his right opens with a loud screech from hinges protesting their lack of oil and neglectful users. An average sized man steps out for a cigarette, his genetically tan skin marking him for some kind of Latino and the fleck of white powder under his nose marking him for a user of drugs much stronger than Marijuana.
The unknown mans’ brown eyes scan through the alley after noticing Daniel and the horrible stench radiating from him so strongly that it is almost a physical barrier.
With his hand still on the door handle he contemplates just going back inside and using the front door to step outside and smoke a cigarette. As the thought crosses his mind Daniel looks up with his strong green eyes locking them on the smoker with a mix of depression and deep fear swimming through them.
Mario is about to turn and walk back inside when something in the kids’ eyes stops him, something swimming around beyond the fear and depression. Even in this sad state the eyes of a predator stare back at Mario veiled deep beneath a chaotic ocean of emotion.
With a deep grin Mario turns back around and kneels down a safe distance from the smell coming off the boy in strong waves. Putting a hand over his mouth he begins to speak slowly to the boy, ‘do you want a job kid? Or how about maybe some clean clothes and a bath?’
With the last words he lets out a quiet chuckle and gently takes Daniels’ arm and helps him up being as careful as he can not to get any of the filth on his pristinely clean clothes.
Daniel stands up hesitantly as the world continues to spin around him but with any offer of help Daniel feels a spark of life well up inside of him. Stepping through the door he finds himself in a kitchen, the sounds of pots and pans clattering filling his sensitive ears and the smell of so many different kinds of food helping his mouth to start watering.
Wide bright green eyes attempt to look in every direction at once as Daniel follows Mario through the kitchen and to a flight of stairs with a quiet whimper as the sights and sounds of food being prepared and cooked dwindle behind him.
Vomit drips from his shirt and every second that he wears the tainted clothes his own smell of filth grows in his nostrils and his throat threatens to tighten and release a new flow of bile.
Mario watches the young man a little worried about his health as he notices the pale skin and sunken eyes, eyes so bright they only exaggerate the caverns from which they stare. Maybe he was a crack baby? Or worse? Maybe he is already addicted to the stuff? These questions go unanswered as Mario steps in to a hallway clad in dark brown fake wood which cover the sheetrock and supporting studs. The carpet beneath his feet is soft even through the loafers and its’ bright red clashes with the dark wood but Mario never thinks about such things.
Taking the door handle of a dark brown oak door he twists the handle and pushes the door open, beckoning for Daniel to follow him, which he does after a short pause.
A woman with a full head of long white hair sits on the couch centered almost perfectly in the room and facing away from an unused, windowless wall. The first reaction to grace that seemingly perfect face is one of mild satisfaction that Mario has returned so soon, the second is disgust at what he is dragging along behind him.
‘What the hell is that, and what is it dripping all over my floor?’ Judging from her face you could say she soon realizes what ‘it’ is dripping all over her floor.
The once beautiful face scrunches up in disgust and she brings her hand up to hold her nose closed against the stench.
Mario turns to look at her as he motions Daniel towards the bathroom hidden behind a solid oak door. ‘What does it look like? It’s a kid, you said you always wanted one didn’t you?’ A sly grin plays on his lips as Mario waits for the exaggerated reaction he knows is coming.
‘A kid? A Kid! That isn’t a kid! It’s a street urchin! It’s dripping with filth! How could you bring something like that in to our house?’
Mario hold up his hands and waves them down in a subtle manner as he tries to get the woman to quiet down, knowing the young kid is hearing every word.
‘Shut up would you? He’s right there in the bathroom, he can hear every word, besides, he’s a good kid and you know you’re going to fall in love with him once he’s all cleaned up.’
‘Mario! This isn’t some stray puppy you’re bringing home! It’s a person! What if somebody is looking for him huh? What are you going to do when its parents come looking for him and slap abduction charges on you? You of all people should know how things are these days, there are pedophiles everywhere and they’re going to think you are one!’
Mario only shakes his head in response to her loud lecture and steps past her to sit down. The leather couch creaks slightly with the sudden weight as Mario falls down on it, trying only to think of some way to combat the loud debate that is still echoing in his mind. Mario knew for sure that he couldn’t just say ‘I like his eyes’ without sounding like a pedophile.
‘The kid has promise, I can tell, now will you drop this? He needs a home and I’m going to give it to him.’
The look in Mario’s’ eyes is that of pure determination and the woman’s mouth opens for a moment but soon shuts with a ‘humph’ and she falls on to a couch cushion next to Mario.
‘You know Alice, you can sometimes be the most understanding woman in the world, when you’re not being a complete bitch.’ With a playful laugh he leans in close and presses his lips to her own in a deep kiss, their tongues entwining and a quiet moan escaping Alice’s lips.
Daniel stands quietly in the bathroom, their words had gone unheard, drowned out by the images flashing past his minds eye. The scenes of blood and torn flesh racing through his mind as if it were all happening again and Daniel’s eyes widen in horror as he watches everything over again.
New images flood in to his mind, those images depicting the brutal slaughter of two nurses and three security guards, those images he had missed while he was cowering in the back of the beasts mind.
Falling to the floor Daniel begins to cry quietly, the hot tears streaming down his face until the fall to the floor and begin to pool up. Curling up in to a fetal position Daniels’ crying begins to strengthen and soon becomes deep sobs that easily penetrate the thin walls of the bathroom.
As Mario is interrupted by the resound
ing sobs of Daniel in the bathroom he lets out a disappointed sigh before reluctantly pulling away from Alice and standing up.
With a few steps Mario is standing at the door to the bathroom and slamming his fist against it wondering if even that would get past the loud sobs of the boy inside. ‘Hey! Kid! You alright in there?’
Alice strides up next to Mario and places a hand on his shoulder to gently push him to the side. ‘Be quiet baby, I don’t think he really needs anyone yelling at him.’
Mario is about to speak in protest that he is only trying to help but Alice puts a single finger against his lips as she steps closer to the door, her face almost pressed against the cold oak surface.
‘You alright in there baby? I really didn’t mean what I said, no one is going to hurt you here, you’re safe here.’
The words Alice speaks can be heard through the sobbing but still they pass over Daniel unnoticed. Even as the door creaks slowly open Daniel does not stir, he only lies there coated in drying blood and vomit, the stench filling the bathroom so completely that Alice almost gags as she steps in.
Thinking quickly she reaches towards a towel rack and pulls her hand away clutching a pristinely clean and white towel to drape over Daniel. As she kneels down Alice drops the towel over Daniels’ shoulders before pulling him up and wrapping her arms around him pulling him in to the warmest embrace Daniel has ever felt.
With a hand reluctant to feel the filth in his long shaggy hair she begins to gently stroke his head as she hums a quiet song in to his ear. The sobs racking Daniels’ body begin to slow and his eyelids become heavier with every passing second. The last words Daniel is able to mutter before falling in to a fitful, nightmare filled sleep are filled with sorrow and meaning only known to Daniel himself. ‘I’m sorry, so sorry mama.’
Mario stands at the doorway leaning against the frame and watching Alice with a kind smile. The smile soon turns to a curious frown as he strains to hear Daniels’ words and after hearing them he tries to figure out what they could mean.
Shaking off the curiosity he finally steps in to the bathroom and kneels down beside the two using a single finger to brush away a few strands of clumped up stray hair. ‘You know, he’s going to have to sleep in here, if he sleeps in any bed there will be no way to get the stink out.’
Alice only nods in response and continues to stroke Daniels’ head not worrying so much about the filth gathering on her hand. ‘Could you get him some blankets? Can’t just let him sleep on the hard tile floor.’
Mario nods and steps out of the room only to come back a few short moments later with two blankets and a comfortable looking pillow. Alice and Mario set up his bed and carefully lay him down in it so as not to wake him up.
For one more night Daniel will have to endure his own filth, but the moment he wakes up Daniel will be forced to take a shower and his bright, glorious new life in the drug trade will begin with his clean slate. In normal situations his past may have caused problems with that but he is able to fabricate one that meets Mario’s approval. I hope you have enjoyed these last three chapters and I will begin another the moment this one is approved, until then Daniel will hang in limbo for a short time, but I promise, in the fourth chapter things will begin to speed up and Daniel will have new, exciting dilemmas to resolve and the beast will be back.

There are a lot of dangers associated with a Nuclear Power Facility. Probably first and foremost is the danger of Radiation that might escape in some way from the containment units and there is also the standard dangers from dealing with high pressure steam systems and the electrical current that is generated by the transmission units connected to the electrical grid. Then there is the danger of sabotage and deliberate damage done that might create a problem with the internal workings of the...
I arrived to class early. I was always early- punctuality was something my parents had drummed into my head. Besides, I was looking forward to this class. I had been trying to get into a figure drawing class for two semesters, but they were always the first to fill up. My name’s Kyle Michaels. I’m an artist. Well, I’m a lot of things, but ‘artist’ is one of the first descriptors I think of when I define myself. Hmm, only a few people around so far. Today’s the first day of classes, so we’ll...

Men from all corners of the seven kingdoms had rushed towards the wall with all the might they had, the ensuing battles costing them hard as man after man fell. Westeros and even most of the lands across the narrow sea were turned to frozen hells. Soon, as always when put to the test, humanity won. At great cost. The lands south of the wall were rendered uninhabitable for many years, made colder than even the true north beyond the wall. It was now a battle for survival. Armour was...

Clara was indeed pissed off with me when I showed up at the enclosure with the injured man, but then she got over it. In truth, Clara was just happy I’d come back alive. Gabby was happy as well. I ended up giving them both hugs and comfort, before Clara got down to work treating Carlos, the injured man. I’d driven one of the ATVs back to the enclosure, bringing Carlos and Cora with me. They were brother and sister and Cora had no intentions of letting her brother out of her sight. She told...
Beyond Area 51 I looked again at the satellite photos, not quite believing what I saw. "You're certain of this?" I asked "Believe it Jay! If you know what to look for you can see where they feathered a copy-paste over the top." Replied Icestorm excitedly "when you de-interlace the last overlay, this is what you get, a green valley right up there in the Area 51 firing range."

September 2011. He was in my dreams again. Always the same muscular body, lightly glistening as he towered over my naked form. Appraising me? Wordlessly judging me? Wanting me? It was hard to tell. His poise and the self-congratulatory manner in which he tugged my bonds implied satisfaction, despite the breath catching in his throat when his fingers brushed my yearning flesh. I squirmed. The sharp tang of his cologne mixed with faint traces of heated exertion and the distinctive undercurrent of...

IncestShy Beyond Belief When I was a young boy, I was shy beyond belief. It carried over to my senior year in High School, when a very handsome guy, mistook my shyness for homosexuality. He assumed my shyness indicated that I was gay. While in reality, I had no sexual preference. Being shy, I had not developed relationships with either girls or boys. But the handsome guy decided, in his mind I was gay and proceeded to strike up a conversation with me every time the opportunity presented itself. I had...

VoyeurLiving Beyond the Dream By: Malissa Madison My sister had finally arrived. It was like looking at myself ten years from now, or like looking at Missy. I was searching for words to convey how I felt but nothing seemed appropriate. "Malissa, are you ok?" she finally asked. "Uhh, yeah, I'm fine. This is just, well everything is happening so fast." "It usually does in battle," she commented. "Thankfully this one is staying peaceful. That's why we're moving so fast, before the...
Chapter 1: Pressure Valve"Hey uh, Rose," a voice said from behind me. I swiveled my chair so that I was facing out of my cubicle. I had my no-nonsense face on and I raised my eyebrows as if to ask, "what?" I didn't recognize the person standing in front of me. I guess that wasn't much of a surprise, I worked at a place with a good deal of turnover and it wasn't unusual to see new and unpleasant faces. This particular face belonged to a man slightly younger than me, maybe 22. He had that...
Vestra closed her eyes and raised her face to the dying embers of the day’s sun. She reveled in the warmth, though she didn’t particularly care for dusk or dawn. The reddening of the sky reminded her too much of the constant red hue of her home’s sky, openly reflected in the few short-lived breaks of the near-constant dark clouds. She prayed to her god every dusk and dawn that the reddening of the sky would not be permanent. So far, her god had answered her prayers. As she felt the warmth...
Beyond the Wall Dillon Jones turned to enter the Silver Oak Estates gated community; he always marveled at the massive stone arch between the two ancient oak trees flanking it. The trees and arch stood outside the ten foot high wall surrounding the enormous housing development with its multi-million dollar homes, manicured drives and luxurious club house. The Halloween decorations adorning the facade were festive and reminded him of a medieval castle. It was truly a wealthy area beyond the...

Help!" then turned and ran to the passenger side of his car where the door had already opened and his wife Lisa was struggling to get her legs around.

So before, I shared with you an experience I had with my sister. Don’t worry, I’m not a sick pervert. It was completely unavoidable. Anyone would have done the same thing I did if they were in the same situation. It wasn’t love or anything, it was an informed decision. It wasn’t going to happen again. My sister didn’t want it, and I didn’t want it……Okay I did want it, but not because I lust after my sister. There’s logic behind my reasoning. When we did it, and by did it, I do mean sex, the...
IncestBeyond Dreamscape Part 3: Best Served Cold By Diana Kimberly Heche Janet took him to be a little less than twice her age, thirty-five, perhaps. Simply saying he was handsome and obviously in great shape. Looking him over, his clothes, especially his shoes, screamed "money". He watched Janet, as all men do, however he did it with a calm confidence which neither spoke of cockiness or lechery. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to approach her, perhaps he was married or thought he...
Part 4: Beyond Dreamscape By Diana Kimberly Heche No one heard from Alex at all these days, not even Lucy. That is why she was surprised to hear his voice on the other end when she picked up the line. "Lucy?" he asked this almost tentatively as if he'd forgotten her voice. His sounded hoarse. "Yes, Alex. It's good to hear from you again." She was unsure how to respond to her brother now, only hoping he was having one of his lucid episodes. There haven't been many of those in...

“We need to clear out of here quickly, Doc,” I told Dr. Beaufort a second or two later, my voice taking on a hint of urgency as I spoke to her. “It’s not safe to stay here.” We’d all been just standing there looking about and taking in the death of Jenkins and the four hunters, who’d all been alive, just a moment ago. I think we were all simply stunned. Fortunately, it didn’t take long for us to recover. “Agreed, Mr. Ryerson,” Dr. Beaufort replied without giving it any thought. “What do you...
I will not brag that my chat with my people in December resolved all the difficulties facing our budding community, and I will not imply that my relationship with the other women improved once I’d bedded Binda. In truth it didn’t, in either case, though life did get easier in a manner of speaking. People started coming to me to arbitrate for them when something came up. Even Sygor seemed to have relaxed a bit. It helped that he’d taken an interest in Trika. Trika was a cute girl who was...
We had broad smiles on our faces when we rode into our valley, four days later. It had been a quick, uneventful trip and we were grateful to be close to home. We’d been gone from the cave for over a month now, and we were all looking forward to getting home. It was therefore with some regret that I told my companions to rein in and walk the remaining few miles to our enclosure. I had to remind them that anything could have happened in our absence, and that to just ride in without scouting...
There really isn’t a good way to describe what we found when we got to the northern compound and actually had a look around. We hadn’t gone north blind. We knew that we were going to find the compound in ruins, and that most likely we’d find dead bodies there. The video feed from the drones that Monty had sent north had shown that much to us. Even so, knowing and expecting the worst, hadn’t actually prepared us for it. Thank God I’d sent Dunbar and Burton in first. The Gateway had dropped us...

‘Sometimes it’s not the vision that’s blurred. Sometimes it’s the situation. I always see things clearly… or as clearly as they can be seen…’ Her voice echoed off the walls, this solemn, serious representation of an inner solitude that often eluded even his keen ears. He could hear it every now and again, but when she waxed poetic there was a glassy sheen over her oh-so-blue eyes that couldn’t be penetrated by any man. She knew it too, and could smile when he attempted to delve into her inner...
Lexi didn’t seem to be ready to forgive me for that session of lovemaking where I’d tried to dominate her. She came over the next day in the bright and melting snow and was civil enough but cool, and it was quite frankly painful.

The way she felt was beyond her control and she’d need a couple days to settle down after such a traumatic upset. There was really nothing she could do about...

Philip knelt on the floor of his bedroom rummaging through a tall stack of papers. If asked his mother would have explained that the state of his bedroom was a clear reflection of her son's life. Finally finding what he needed, he placed the loose sheets of paper into a rather large binder. Across the top of the binder, hand written in beautiful calligraphy was the word Mercia. Unlike many young men his age, Philip was not looking forward to the weekends to spend time trying to pick up...

I had no idea then that I would have so much to say, or that I would enjoy doing this that much. This is a sequel I didn't plan on writing, but the idea of what came next wouldn't leave me alone. I hope it is worth it. And THANK YOU to those who have read and commented on them. Bob approached the door for the second time in two days. Once again...
The sound of soft music filled the large conference room turned banquet hall as the USS Enterprise orbited high above Ardana. It was the Starships second visit to the planet in less than a week. The previous visit had been on an errand of urgency, the need to transport the valuable ore zenite from Ardana to Marak II in order to combat a botanical plague on that world. A simple transport mission had instead turned into involvement in a small-scale civil war between the Cloud Minders of Stratos...
Obviously this had been going on for a while, though I stood there in shock, briefly chastising myself for not realizing it. Not having a clue, a single hint. A myriad of emotions washing over and through me as I stood there, staring. And neither one of them yet aware that their older brother had come home early ... unexpectedly. How many other times before had my own sister and brother, fraternal twins, been so engaged like this before now? Our parents had died a few years ago in a horrible...
I lay in bed that evening, my hands behind my head, my body stretched out using every inch of the queen size mattress’s length. I thought back over what had been one of the most interesting and pleasant evenings I’d ever had. Not just the excellent meal, but the company of a bright, beautiful woman. We talked. We talked about ourselves and about anything and everything from politics to religion. I know, those should have been taboo, especially on what was only our second formal date. But...
The week following the attack, Brad visited for a week to check out Central State and to get a break from his parents who were irritating the hell out of him. I suppose that was only normal, for he was the first child of the household to have lived on his own for nine months and then return to find his freedom reduced. I suspected Sandi’s refusal to have sex with him also had a hand in his frustration with home life, but I was a bit surprised to find he hadn’t gotten laid since his porn...
Our arrival at the Horse People’s encampment caused quite a stir. The Horse People were camped up on a hill overlooking the far side of the lake. Because the river was still near to overflowing its banks, my party had to ride beyond the lake and then uphill quite a bit from it, to find a passable ford. Then we had to ride back down the stream we’d crossed and over to the hill where the encampment stood. Our progress had been marked by the hunters of the tribe well in advance of our arrival....
Life got interesting shortly after my party took off to go hunting, and the two young women returned to their people in the compound. I’d paced about for a bit, waiting for something to happen. I’d figured that once the two young women got inside the compound and they’d told their story to this Womack character that he’d be back up on the roof of the command post container shouting down at me. Hopefully from there, we’d strike up a dialogue. I didn’t expect him to throw open the gate to the...
Durt led us into the forest. The trail we were following was narrow. It quickly turned away from the broad flowing river and headed inland, climbing uphill as it meandered about trees and outcroppings of rock. The rest of us followed him in silence. For the most part the trail was bare earth and mud. It climbed one hill and then it slid down the other side, falling into a ravine or a gully only to start climbing again, the hill that lay beyond it. It was wet and miserable in the forest....
I called a meeting the next morning, inviting Ozmat and the other surviving youth to attend. We had things to speak about and I figured the two young men needed to attend, if only so they felt included in our discussions and would know that we weren’t just bullying their people. The second youth’s name was Nolgar. We met outside in the courtyard about a blazing fire. “We’ll be staying here for a few days,” I told everyone who was gathered there with me. “I’ve spoken to Clara and Alexa and...
I had actually met Cadar a few times in the past, when I had visited the Horse People just after I had taught Agar how to ride. The man was medium tall, in his late thirties or early forties, well weathered in appearance, yet still physically fit and healthy looking. He even had all of his teeth. He had been a hunter on the verge of retiring when I had first met him, but like Agar and Gogra, the man had seen the benefit of using bows, hunting lances, and riding horses. He’d caught onto what I...
April 10, 2027 It took a few more weeks for spring to nudge away winter. The days were slowly getting longer, and much of their past melted away with the snow. Even the small waterfall at the bathing pool began flowing again making gurgling sounds, and on sunny mornings, Canadian geese were seen flying northward in cunning wedges that split the air, announcing with their trumpeting honks that spring was not far behind and the world was awakening into itself again. However, the effects of...
