September 1973
Jim had learned over the years that there times when he would do things and have second thoughts afterward. When that happened he would think over what he should have done and faced up to the consequences of his own acts.
"Thunderpussy is sure mad at you," Rich told him as he slurped down a cup of coffee.
He stretched and the muscles in his shoulders pressed at his tee shirt.
"She came storming in to her apartment just as Chelsea and I were starting to relate to one another."
"I can't say that I'm surprised," Jim answered. "Maybe I can talk to her..."
"Don't bother," was all Rich would say.
Jim knew that he'd disappointed a lot of people. Rich was the obvious one, who had set up the whole encounter with Ashley. He had left with Chelsea thinking that he'd solved Jim's problem once and for all.
Of course Ashley was most disappointed of all. She'd had Jim in her sights and he, somehow, gave her the slip at the last moment. She had to accept that Jim would never be comparing his lovers to her for the rest of his life.
"Can't forget Chelsea."
Ashley's roommate and understudy had long been eager to slip between the sheets with Rich. But, Ashley was a very competitive person and always seemed to seize the moment before Chelsea could make her move. Chelsea must have thought that her big chance had finally arrived and then been snatched away from her.
The final person was himself. If he had carried through he would be making breakfast for Ashley that very moment. His problem would have been solved (and then some). He wouldn't be waiting for Rich to get back on his case for squandering his best opportunity to join the ranks of the initiated. After all, Ashley wasn't so bad—and he had stood a good chance at experiencing that tongue thing that Rich spoke about.
"Sorry I messed things up," Jim said before Rich could finish off his coffee. "I'm sorry about you and Chelsea, too."
"Don't be sorry about that," Rich replied with a big grin on his face. "After Ashley burst in she told us the whole story. Then, we had to console her."
"Console her? What do you mean by that?"
"You know," Rich said, "help her get her equilibrium back, get her straightened out. It took a lot of consoling. It turned out that she could only be consoled in the nude. Chelsea and I were already nude."
"I think I've got the picture," Jim said. "So, it was Rich Garland to the rescue."
"It's not how I planned it," Rich went on, "but sometimes a man's got to adapt, and I know just how to do that when things need to get done."
"Well, it looks like everyone's getting laid but me," Jim sighed.
"It's your problem now," Rich answered. "I tried my best. You're going to have to work it out for yourself. In the meantime, I didn't get any sleep last night, so I need you to make me another pot of coffee."
"Then, you're not mad?" Jim asked as Rich marched down the hallway toward the bathroom.
"No, not really," he answered over his shoulder. "I think I pushed too hard. My way might have worked, but it didn't. You need to work things out for yourself your own way."
Jim dumped out the old grounds and spooned some new ones in the percolator.
"So, I was right after all."
He plugged in the coffee pot and then raised his arms to stretch. He reached for the ceiling—he reached hard. Perhaps it was something beyond the ceiling. It was difficult to tell. He put his arms down and his body felt relaxed and comfortable. A stretch of the body or soul was always good for a person's own comfort, inside or out.
Rich came out of the bathroom and made his way to the coffee that was just finishing and poured some into his cup. He was blowing away the steam rising from the surface, sipping in some the hot liquid.
"I'm going to invite Hildy to come down for the Colgate game," Jim announced.
"Sounds fine to me," Rich replied. "Are you going to take her to the fraternity party, too?"
"I think so, at least for a little while."
"Up to you," Rich said. "I don't know if that's what I would do."
Jim understood what Rich meant. Post-game parties at the frat lodge were for young men trying to make time with cute sorority girls, rock bands with oversized speakers and cute sorority girls competing with each other. The parties didn't attract many receptionists and fifth year students.
"I see what you mean," Jim said. "It wouldn't look right to go to the game and then skip out on the party."
"What do you care what it looks like?" Rich answered. "The younger guys would be worried about what things look like to you, if there was any justice in this world."
So often, Rich had the answers.
"But, there is seldom justice," Jim said. "I'll keep up my end and worry about the rest later."
Rich nodded and bent down over his coffee. Jim knew that soon he would be sprawled across the couch catching on his lost sleep from the night before. It was the Sunday before Labor Day. Classes would be starting in two days. Jim decided to go to the campus bookstore and hunt for his textbooks. He began thinking about his first class, Advanced Thermodynamics. He had an idea for his Final project, too and would stop in to see his advisor after class.
As he was driving down the hill toward the campus he thought about what he would plan for Hildy's visit. It would be important to get things just right. The thought crept into his brain that she might not come.
"We'll put it to the test."
If not, perhaps reconciliation with Ashley would be in order. He knew how she would make it hard for him, but in the end she would give in. They didn't call her Thunderpussy for nothing, and what was the use of having a nickname like that if you didn't trade on it? Perhaps the aborted coupling would make Ashley twice as eager to please. And, maybe he would get in on that tongue thing after all.
As he stopped at a light he chased the thought away.
"I'm pretty sure that Hildy will come."
Hildy was late—by just a little. Jim began pacing, just the same.
"Maybe she got lost trying to find the place."
"Would you relax?" Rich scolded. "She's only fifteen minutes late. And, if she can get on the right road, that Rustmobile of yours out in the driveway is sure to guide her in.
"I suppose," Jim said, "but I hate to think of spending all of yesterday cleaning up the apartment and then getting stood up."
"It was two hours," Rich corrected, "and the place needed it. I was beginning to think the Health Department might condemn us. Now, stop pacing. You're making me nervous."
Rich was waiting for Hildy to arrive. After saying 'hello' and a few minutes for pleasantries he intended to disappear and leave the apartment to Jim and his date. He planned to go the game, of course, and had a pair of tickets but no date, so he had some work to do.
"Hello, anyone home?"
It was Hildy. She bounded down the terrace steps outside the apartment.
"In here, Hildy," Jim yelled back as he was scrambling for the door.
He hadn't seen her for over three weeks. He knew he was being silly, of course, but wondered if she looked the same as she had when he saw her in August.
"I hope she didn't change her hair or something."
Women got a little crazy when it came to things like that, in Jim's experience, and three weeks apart could make for a lot of changes.
He finally caught sight of her. She was smiling and Jim felt better. She hadn't changed her hair, and he liked that, too. What he saw behind her he didn't like. It meant complications and his careful plans cast awry, failure.
"I brought Darlene with me," she said.
Jim braced himself. He had nothing against Darlene. He only knew her a little. He knew she was Hildy's best friend, and that was fine. The only question was, 'Why Darlene now?'
"Hi, Darlene; nice to see you."
They went inside where Rich was waiting. Jim introduced Hildy and Darlene. He could see that Rich was surprised at how tall Hildy was. Rich was six-two, making Hildy almost as tall as he was. He was looking at her, and Jim could tell in other times and circumstances Rich would be thinking certain thoughts. Jim noticed Rich turning his attention to Darlene.
Darlene could hold her own in the looks department. She wasn't as tall as Hildy, by far, nor as slender. She had a pleasant face and wavy chestnut hair, which she tied back. Her buxom figure had a way of saying 'come on in'.
"Let's give them the tour," Rich said.
It was a short tour: bathroom, bedroom, bedroom, living room, kitchen, end of tour. Jim suggested they go outside so he could show them the view of the town below and the University across the valley.
"Do you mind if I use the ladies' room first?" Darlene asked. "It was a long drive.
She didn't wait for an answer, but made her way down the hallway. Hildy stepped outside with Jim. Rich stayed in the kitchen.
"See the stadium over there on the slope on the right?" Jim asked. "That's where we'll be in about an hour."
"My parents insisted that I bring Darlene along," Hildy explained without waiting for the question.
"We have a baby-sitter?" Jim sneered.
"Not a baby-sitter," Hildy insisted, "more like a chaperone."
Jim could tell that Hildy was upset.
"I'm sorry, Hildy," he said. "I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just that..."
"I understand," Hildy said, "but that's not all. They made Darlene and me get a motel room. I have to show them the receipt when I get home."
"Receipt? Is that what they think of you? I would have told them to take a hike."
Hildy's lip was quivering. She was trying not to cry. Jim knew he had gone too far.
"They're my parents," she mumbled. "They might not think much of me, but they're my parents, just the same."
Jim put his arm around her shoulder.
"It's alright, Hildy. Let's just forget it for a while. Right now I've got to get a few things arranged that I wasn't expecting."
"Like what?"
"For starters, we need three tickets to the football game, and I have only two."
"I knew this would go all wrong," Hildy blurted out, and this time he thought that she was really going to cry.
"Don't worry. Rich has an extra ticket that he's not planning to use. I'll buy it from him."
They went back inside the apartment. Darlene had emerged from the ladies' room by that time. She and Rich were in the kitchen talking and laughing.
"Jim, this is perfect," Rich said as Jim and Hildy walked through the door. "Darlene's going to use my spare ticket to the game. After the game we thought that we'd stop at the frat lodge for a drink or two and then come back here and grill some steaks."
"Perfect!" Jim agreed. "Where are your seats?"
"Section H-5. What about you?"
"C-3. It looks like we'll have to split up when we get to the stadium and meet up at the frat lodge later."
"Fretloje"" Hildy asked with that confused look that he'd seen before.
"I'll explain later," Darlene said.
Some people thought that Jim was too serious when he was at parties. They told him that he should have more fun. He tried, but it wasn't always easy.
Jim parked in the fraternity's parking lot and left his car there and he and Hildy walked the half-mile to the stadium. It beat paying for parking in the stadium lot, with an after-game traffic jam on the side. Better yet, it was the perfect setup to pop into the house for an after game drink and then make a quick escape at the right moment.
Jim and Hildy did meet Darlene and Rich at the gate after the game and they walked down the hill together. As they ambled down fraternity row they could hear the delighted squeals of co-eds as fraternity brothers from the various houses chased after them. Their own House was not far off. As they approached a little closer it became apparent by the noise that the after-game party was already under way. It didn't matter that Campbell had won, which was usual when they played Colgate, the after game parties had their own life. Jim was unsure that he wanted to go inside but he wanted to give Hildy the total football weekend experience, so he took her inside just the same. Rich and Darlene were stopping in, too.
The parlor furniture and carpet had been moved aside to prepare for the band that would arrive later. The bare hardwood floor made the house even noisier that it would have been. In the foyer there was a set up of a beer keg and a punch bowl with some punch glasses inverted on a white tablecloth. The brothers and their dates, and also some as yet unattached co-eds and brothers were milling about carrying fresh drinks.
"What's in the punchbowl?" Hildy asked.
"They're called 'Silver Moons'," Jim explained. "Vodka, grapefruit juice and confectioner's sugar."
"What proportion?" Hildy asked.
"Depends who's making it."
"I think I'll pass," Hildy said "Can I have a beer instead?"
Jim drew two beers from the keg. As he looked around he saw Ashley and Chelsea standing together in a corner drinking Silver Moons. He surmised that they weren't yet attached for the evening, although that was sure to change after the band started.
"That girl is looking like she knows you," Hildy said when Jim handed her the beer.
Sure enough, Hildy was referring to Ashley, who was giving Jim the eye, but not in an admiring way. It had been three weeks and Jim had thought that Ashley would have gotten over her disappointment.
"There are things that some people never get over."
"Hildy, it's a fraternity house. I know everybody."
"Well, she's looking at you like she doesn't like you—or maybe she doesn't like me."
Ashley and Chelsea started whispering to one another and giggling. Then they made faces that appeared to mock an unknown entity.
"I think they're making fun of your date," Hildy said.
Of course, it was true. If he confronted them they would only deny it—after making a scene.
"No, I don't think so," Jim said.
Every time he told Hildy a little white lie it backfired on him, and this little lie had backfire written all over it.
"I know they're a lot prettier than me," Hildy said, "and smarter, too. I guess they've got their reasons.

Denethia walked hand in hand with the handsome man who had stolen her heart the first night of the autumn festival. He was dressed in mouse-colored robes, with a comical pointed cap sitting rakishly off-center on his head. A false beard hung from his square chin down to his leanly muscled chest. He carried a fanciful, feather-adorned staff in his other hand, the costume unmistakable as that of a wizard. The garb seemed to suit him well. Denethia's costume also suited her perfectly — her...

BDSMMarine Sgt. Junio del Mundo peered through his battered binoculars across the bow of the BRP Teresa Magbanua. The sea mist kicked up by the new Philippine Navy cutter stung his face as he stood there, stolidly watching as they drew closer to the wrecked hulk of the BRP Sierra Madre. It’s just a regular supply drop, Jun, he told himself as he ran his scarred, darkly-tanned left hand through the black crewcut taming his otherwise tightly-curled hair and ran that hand down to his sharply angled...
Awakening by Quiver Chapter 2: Reckoning Rebecca woke up the next morning feeling strangely confident. Ordinarily, she would never sleep in the nude, but last night she had gone to bed naked without a second thought. And those dreams. Holy shit, that had been so vivid. Steven would never show such passion in real life. It must have been that weird summoning spell she had tried out. It had put some really intense images in her mind. Rebecca opened her eyes to see Steven passed out with...
As Calix expected, the day had turned dark and cold which, in a real way, reflected his mood. As the iron gray clouds marched above him, he looked at the trembling snowflakes and couldn't help but find it a fitting metaphor for his own life. Ever since he'd failed Rico, he'd been reeling; tossed from gust to gust. While he had been wallowing in his guilt, he had allowed Tomas to get the upper hand; the asshole was calling the shots and dictating terms and that was bullshit. Calix knew...
O.K., I admit I probably shouldn’t have done it. But, really, who in their right mind would have expected this? But, then again, who do I know who’s in their right mind? Sure, I mean, all the tales warn against doing it, but nobody ever suggests that this can happen. Come on. What? You look puzzled. Maybe I should start at the beginning. Slowly? Right. Well, I had never really gotten into any trouble, though I’d harbored seditious thoughts on many occasions. I was just discreet enough to...
Harvest of Expectations © Copyright 2013 By Autumn Writer Chapter 6 — Confrontation March 1974 January and February swept by fast, like the snowstorms that turned the roads to glorified ski trails that year. Jim hadn’t seen Hildy since the date he had with her the night after Christmas. He tried a few times to drive up for a visit, but something got in the way. Sometimes it was the weather and other times he was working on his project. On top of that, he was working out in preparation for...

First TimeIt was pure chance that Emma overheard the two teachers talking. It was a Thursday and the only students still at college were those in the detention class. There were several teachers in the college as well. Emma was sixteen-years-old and in Year 12. She enjoyed being at college but found some of the teachers arrogant and condescending. Emma was in the gym just getting changed back in to her college day clothes. She had been given a special pass to use the gym. She was the only student in the...

Love StoriesMay 1974 It was Friday and it had been almost a week since Hildy returned to Rochester for her Aunt Mildred's birthday ... Jim had just finished his last final exam and returned to his apartment. The days of Rich being his room mate were waning and Jim was thinking that the two of them might make a final tour of the bars that they had frequented throughout their academic careers. As he fixed himself a sandwich Jim was remembering the prior Sunday taking Ashley back to her apartment as the...
When Father Mortimer checked into the hotel it was eight in the evening.The room was a basic no frills double with a small bathroom. He would never stay in such a hotel if he was attending one of his ecclesiastical conferences but for what he had planned it was just perfect.He got down on his knees and bent his balding aged head over a black gilt leaf Bible he had respectfully placed on the edge of the bed.“Blessed Lord Jesus forgive me for my sins,” he muttered and crossed himself three...
SpankingI was heading over to her house to play a few games of pool. We were actually going to have some time to ourselves; her parents had gone out with her brother and sister so it would just be us in the house for a few hours. Being only 17 it is rare for either of us to get a moment alone. Perfect for me, it meant that if I struck out no-one would be around to see. Even so, as I rung her doorbell, I started to have second thoughts. I mean, she hadn’t shown much interest in me before, what if she...
The first step of treading the new post-fucking-Sara-with-my-wife-watching world was to find out how Chelsea felt about what happened. I could have called on the way home to find out, but I was too nervous. It probably would have saved me some time if she wanted me out of the house as work was closer to hotels than we were in the suburbs, but it was too late now. I was home and walking into the unknown. I unlocked the front door and walked in. “Chelsea?” I called before closing the door. I...
Oral SexAs we continued our tour of the Castle, Kurt led me down a long spiral staircase deep under the main building. At the bottom of the stairs there was a dimly lit hallway with rooms on either side. Each of the roughly hewn doors had bars in small window openings. It was obvious these rooms were jail cells. Our footsteps echoed on the slate stone floor as we walked. It gave me an eerie feeling knowing this place was over eight hundred years old. I’ve had a fear of dark confined places since I was...
Wife LoversMorningSunlight was streaming through the windows when he woke. It had to be late – and he never slept late, not even on weekends. He was also famished, remembering that neither of them had eaten last night. They were – preoccupied.He was still stunned that she had shown up at my door, naked, bound, and on her knees. And he was stunned and astonished at how she connected with something inside of him. He had never experienced anything like this before. He knew that, no matter what happened next,...

CheatingOur wedding was scheduled for late September. It was to be held in the Episcopalian Church in Gig Harbor on a Saturday afternoon. The reception would be at our house. I would arrange for a canopy to give people a chance to be outdoors if the weather permitted. Otherwise, we would try and make room for everyone in the house. The guest list wasn't huge, but we had added some people that both Mary and I wanted to include. Her boss and his wife, Mika and Katrianna Raikonnen, her aunt and uncle...
“I’m afraid there’s been a report about you and some of our Year 10 girls in the shopping centre,” Maggie told me gravely. “Is there anything you want to tell me?” Jesus Christ. “I did run into Sandra Philips and her cohorts,” I faked an amused memory, “trying to get passport photos done.” I stopped myself saying too much. “And did anything improper occur?

Mel woke, relishing the feel of long black hair under his arm, smiling at the presence of Tracy at his side. He could smell her, and pulled her sleeping form in to kiss her cheek, breathing deep the woman who brought him so much joy. Mel also felt anxious, wishing to return to a sleepy nothingness, to not face the day or the moment he knew had to arrive. Still, even with his own ground zero looming before him, he gave in to the impulse to pull Tracy closer, to reach down and grasp each of her...
A few days after my meeting with Masterson I had called the referral he had given me. An interview was quickly scheduled with Ben Silverstein for a possible accounting job with Silverstein and Associates, Public Auditors.

The week since the trial had passed quickly and the day of public punishments for these people had arrived! I was to have my...
Jim was just coming home from work and was met at his long drive way by two women from the area. Barbara said, "My husband Jack is in your house fucking your wife and her sister and mother." Judy said, "So is my Bob! We want to have something done about straightening this situation out." "Well we can go in there and beat the shit out of the whole bunch but I doubt that would do more than just irritate the situation. Or we can join them and have a big fuck party. Or we can get lawyers and sue...
Group SexChapter 5 — Merry Christmas December 1973 Jim knew that life and all its events was a proposition of give and take. He strove to hold up his end by giving, lest he err in the taking. It was his last chance. It was nine in the evening and the stores would be open for anther thirty minutes. It would be no good to wait until the next day. The next day would be December 24 and he planned to use that as a travel day. Besides, as he looked around the big box store he could see that the shelves...
© Copyright 2013 Chapter 2 — The Next Step July 1973 Jim liked to get a fix in his minds eye how events would go. It helped him make sure that they always went just right. Jim watched Hildy drive out of the parking lot and turn onto the main road. He started his own car and put it in gear. Soon he was headed home, to his parents’ house, which was in the opposite direction, where he stayed during his summers and school vacations. It was nearly midnight, so his parents wouldn’t be up waiting...
Chapter 10 — Let’s Have a Party May 1974 They arrived late, but not too much. The fraternity house parking lot had always been undersized so Jim had a difficult time wedging the Rustmobile into a space. ‘I’m glad we took this car instead of the Duster,’ Jim said. ‘The old Rustmobile can take a few more dents and no one would notice, but the Duster doesn’t have any yet. He turned off the motor and they were about to climb the back steps of the fraternity house when a pick up truck towing a...
Chapter 4 — Time of Reckoning September 1973 Jim had learned over the years that there times when he would do things and have second thoughts afterward. When that happened he would think over what he should have done and faced up to the consequences of his own acts. ‘Thunderpussy is sure mad at you,’ Rich told him as he slurped down a cup of coffee. He stretched and the muscles in his shoulders pressed at his tee shirt. ‘She came storming in to her apartment just as Chelsea and I were...
Chapter 7 — A Man’s Work April 1974 The phone call at his apartment surprised him. He had been back at his apartment for about ninety minutes. He was taking a break from finishing off the report on Fluid Systems that was due in a few days and was about to pop the top on a beer. Then it would be time to fix some dinner. The surprise phone call made him glad that hadn’t quite gotten to it. ‘Wow! That was fast. Something must be cooking.’ He set down the phone and ran into his room to change...
Chapter 13 — Commencement August 1974 It was four in the Saturday afternoon of August 24. Jim was in the driver’s seat and Hildy was next to him in the passenger’s bucket seat of the ’71 Mercury Cougar that Douglas Chemical had sold to him. They were in the parking lot of the Erie Canal Inn as about a dozen people surrounded the car, wishing them well. After a few moments, the small crowd stepped aside. Jim put the car in gear and it was official that he and Hildy were on their honeymoon. ...
Chapter 8 — ‘…can you picnic?’ April 1974 Jim was up early the next day. It was six o’clock on that Sunday morning. He was the first in the house to shower and get dressed. His dirty clothes that he brought home were still in the laundry. His mother was planning on doing them later that day. Jim was hoping that his activity would wake the rest of the house. It wasn’t like he bounced out of bed wide awake and full of energy. It hadn’t been a good night for sleep. He rattled around in the...
Chapter 11 — The Happy Times May 1974 It was Friday and it had been almost a week since Hildy returned to Rochester for her Aunt Mildred’s birthday.. Jim had just finished his last final exam and returned to his apartment.

Chapter 9 — Passing Through May 1974 April was giving way to May. Jim turned in his final project. He thought it came out well, and Professor Stark did, too. Final exams were looming. Jim knew that he was prepared and that meant that he would do well. His wrist was healed well enough to put him back on the Track Team. It didn’t look good for a letter in his final year. Jim figured he had to get at least a third in one of the three remaining dual meets and a third in the Conference...
Chapter 12 — Take a Stand June 1974 May had come and gone, and graduation, too. Jim stayed in town through it all. For one thing, he wanted to see Rich’s parents one last time and help him load his gear into the trailer they’d rented to haul it all back to New Jersey. Rich was going to have two weeks at home before beginning his new job in Illinois. Another reason Jim stayed in his apartment was that he was waiting for the Douglas Company credit card to show up in the mail. He couldn’t hope...
© Copyright 2013 Chapter 1 — In the Beginning July 1973 It didn’t matter that she wasn’t pretty. He had been watching her watching him. He knew what that was all about. It was Hildy Wertz, the lobby receptionist at the Operations Center of the utility company where Jim worked his summer job while he was in college. He knew her well enough to say ‘hello’ and that was about it. Sometimes, after showering but before actual quitting time, the summer college workers would gather in the lobby to...
Chapter 3 — Second Opinion September 1973 Any time Jim had a project or an assignment he tried everything he could to meet the expectations of those who expected him to perform. He tried his best every time, but he wasn’t successful on each and every occasion, of course. When that happened he felt bad and hoped for another chance. ‘Hey Rich—hey Rich, are you here?’ Jim had his arms full with two suitcases as he shouted out his roommate’s name. ‘Yeah, I’m here,’ was the muffled reply. ‘I’m...
I have to be honest with you, it was exciting to me to be completely naked in front of strangers. As I walked down the hallway nude, with a towel over my arm and a bag over my shoulder, I was proud of myself on how far I had come in one short year. I had come to Florida a year earlier on a full swimming scholarship to a major university. I remember how excited I had been to leave my Minnesota home and escape the dark cold of northland winters.

April 1974 The phone call at his apartment surprised him. He had been back at his apartment for about ninety minutes. He was taking a break from finishing off the report on Fluid Systems that was due in a few days and was about to pop the top on a beer. Then it would be time to fix some dinner. The surprise phone call made him glad that hadn't quite gotten to it. "Wow! That was fast. Something must be cooking." He set down the phone and ran into his room to change back into his navy...
April 1974 Jim was up early the next day. It was six o'clock on that Sunday morning. He was the first in the house to shower and get dressed. His dirty clothes that he brought home were still in the laundry. His mother was planning on doing them later that day. Jim was hoping that his activity would wake the rest of the house. It wasn't like he bounced out of bed wide awake and full of energy. It hadn't been a good night for sleep. He rattled around in the cupboard looking for the works...
May 1974 April was giving way to May. Jim turned in his final project. He thought it came out well, and Professor Stark did, too. Final exams were looming. Jim knew that he was prepared and that meant that he would do well. His wrist was healed well enough to put him back on the Track Team. It didn't look good for a letter in his final year. Jim figured he had to get at least a third in one of the three remaining dual meets and a third in the Conference Championship. Points earned in the...
May 1974 They arrived late, but not too much. The fraternity house parking lot had always been undersized so Jim had a difficult time wedging the Rustmobile into a space. "I'm glad we took this car instead of the Duster," Jim said. "The old Rustmobile can take a few more dents and no one would notice, but the Duster doesn't have any yet. He turned off the motor and they were about to climb the back steps of the fraternity house when a pick up truck towing a trailer ambled into the...
June 1974 May had come and gone, and graduation, too. Jim stayed in town through it all. For one thing, he wanted to see Rich's parents one last time and help him load his gear into the trailer they'd rented to haul it all back to New Jersey. Rich was going to have two weeks at home before beginning his new job in Illinois. Another reason Jim stayed in his apartment was that he was waiting for the Douglas Company credit card to show up in the mail. He couldn't hope to make it to Central...
August 1974 It was four in the Saturday afternoon of August 24. Jim was in the driver's seat and Hildy was next to him in the passenger's bucket seat of the '71 Mercury Cougar that Douglas Chemical had sold to him. They were in the parking lot of the Erie Canal Inn as about a dozen people surrounded the car, wishing them well. After a few moments, the small crowd stepped aside. Jim put the car in gear and it was official that he and Hildy were on their honeymoon. "You can't get on the...
July 1973 Jim liked to get a fix in his minds eye how events would go. It helped him make sure that they always went just right. Jim watched Hildy drive out of the parking lot and turn onto the main road. He started his own car and put it in gear. Soon he was headed home, to his parents' house, which was in the opposite direction, where he stayed during his summers and school vacations. It was nearly midnight, so his parents wouldn't be up waiting for him, which Jim considered to be a...
September 1973 Any time Jim had a project or an assignment he tried everything he could to meet the expectations of those who expected him to perform. He tried his best every time, but he wasn't successful on each and every occasion, of course. When that happened he felt bad and hoped for another chance. "Hey Rich—hey Rich, are you here?" Jim had his arms full with two suitcases as he shouted out his roommate's name. "Yeah, I'm here," was the muffled reply. "I'm in the can. Keep...
December 1973 Jim knew that life and all its events was a proposition of give and take. He strove to hold up his end by giving, lest he err in the taking. It was his last chance. It was nine in the evening and the stores would be open for anther thirty minutes. It would be no good to wait until the next day. The next day would be December 24 and he planned to use that as a travel day. Besides, as he looked around the big box store he could see that the shelves were starting to look...
March 1974 January and February swept by fast, like the snowstorms that turned the roads to glorified ski trails that year. Jim hadn't seen Hildy since the date he had with her the night after Christmas. He tried a few times to drive up for a visit, but something got in the way. Sometimes it was the weather and other times he was working on his project. On top of that, he was working out in preparation for the final season he would be on the University's Track and Field team. Hildy...

THE AMAZING MR. MORTIMER My girlfriend Rachel and I had decided to take a two week vacation to PuertoRico. I had first come across the girl on the streets of San Juan. She cameup to me and begged me for some money. At first I was going to say no. ThenI noticed how beautiful this young girl was and I was intrigued. I startedto reach into my purse to get her something, and she smiled at me. She hada very beautiful smile. It was in fact an entrancing smile. I kept her close to me with small bribes...
Note: This is not your usual Lush story. It is an experimental play in a theater of the absurd style. There is no sex but it is an entertaining comment on marriage. I encourage you to indulge in something different. I think it will make you laugh and maybe cry. Scene: A formal living room. Mortimer is seated on a sofa in the center of the room when Myrtle enters and sits on the sofa next to him. She is wearing a blue floral dress and a pearl necklace, her gray hair is tied in a bun. Mortimer is...
Damn! Who would of thought that could happen in the garden? Definitely not me! But everytime I think about it I get those little bumps all over. You know the ones. Not the ones that make your skin crawl, the one's that give you a shiver of excitement. Just thinking about what happened that day long ago and I still get those damn bumps. You ever gardened? I don't mean the small flower beds or a couple plants in a pot. I'm talking about a decent size plot that you have to fence in to keep the...
As was his habit at lunchtime, Hal left the building and walked through the office park for exercise. It was a partly cloudy day, and for the moment it seemed overcast. On his way to a small path through the woods, he saw her. Sandy was an attractive redhead with a sensual voice who almost always wore a tailored blouse, a roomy ankle-length skirt, and one-inch pumps. Her wardrobe varied in color, patterns, and material, depending upon the season, but always the same ensemble. Hal watched as...
Elizabeth Fleming told me some of this story in the years before she died, aged eighty, in 2010. The more graphic scenes are mine but the emotions and surrounding history are hers. She was my Great Aunt, great in so many ways for she was the third family member I ever revealed my sexuality to, the first two being my parents. I had known since girlhood that she shared a cottage in Hampshire with her friend, Portia, but had never known their relationship was more than sisterly. When I told her...
LesbianHello readers. This story is something a little different from me. It is a tale of revenge, romance, and a ruined wife. I don't know if there is an audience for a story like this but I thought I would see. I hope a few of you like it at least. The story is complete already. I will be releasing chapters on here roughly at the pace of a chapter a day. If you are the impatient sort and have five extra bucks to spare feel free to come on over to my PATREON and read it early in its entirety....

InterracialShe wanted to remember. The hookah was a beautiful piece. It stood at 4 ½ feet. Dark red… it always was her favorite color. This hookah was her personal prize. It only had one hose, one smoker. She pulled the airtight box from its hiding place and opened the lid. Once released, the heady aroma drifted, tickling her nose. The new batch of bud was a dark green, but the crystals were so thick it turned everything pastel. Breaking it apart just enough to smoke easy, she arranged the weed in...
