Turning, she studied herself carefully from the waist down. The soft angora ended three inches above the elongated belly button, which, like a beauty mark, highlighted her tight tummy. And below, like a milk-pod hung between her high hip bones, the curve of her belly accentuated the proud rise of her pubis. Pubic hair, glistening like a golden mantle, barely hiding the protruding lips of her swollen sex. Swallowing hard she opened the door and stepped out into the chill of the library. Shutter-Buggered...
an abridged story from Jo-Anne Wiley's current book

Mr. Harcroff was considering her legs.

Becky squirmed in her chair but did nothing to cover up. He wasn't leering; more like a timid assessment. She figured there was nothing wrong with that, unless the fact that he was old enough to be her grandfather mattered. It didn't seem to matter to her; the way her body responded!

Becky had arrived at the library before nine. Her computer sat on a table set sideways to the main counter. She was busy online when she got the strange feeling that someone was watching her. Her back stiffened and her head came around. Mr. Harcroff stood at the counter; his eyes focused below the table. At five-foot nothin', she was little. But Becky was nicely proportioned. She knew she had good legs, though she thought her kneecaps were a little large, but all her dresses were cut four inches above the knee and she loved short-shorts in the summertime. Becky's dress had ridden up a little; she had thought she was alone, but she resisted the urge to reach under the table and pull her hemline down. It felt childish somehow. And anyway it was kind of exciting to attract the eye of an older man and she felt a stir between her thighs; like a small furry creature with long fingernails was reaching upwards.

“Mr. Har… croff!” she dragged it out and felt a big embarrassed smile spread across her face. “It’s not polite to look up a young girl’s skirt.”

His eyes locked on hers and she saw the flush deepen. His lips humped and he cocked a shoulder. She laughed. “Mr. Harcroff?” she repeated, more sympathetic now. “How can I help?” Still smiling, Becky rolled back on her office chair and swiveled her knees toward him. The poor man couldn’t help himself and she watched his eyes drift down again. The creature in her groin reached up and grasped the base of her spine causing a shudder that compressed the muscles in her lower back. She stifled a gasp, squeezed the pucker in her buttocks and gave Mr. Harcroff a moment to figure out just how far up her skirt he could see before unfurling her ankles and standing.

“A… a card,” he managed, eyes locking on her's once again. “I’ve been coming in a fair amount. I guess I need a library card.” “Of course, of course. I just need you to fill out the form.” She shook herself into attentiveness. “Go ahead on it,” Becky motioned to the reading area with a tilt of her head. “I’ll make up your card and bring it in to you.” He nodded and turned, walking away. His step was light but precise and he carried a black walking stick but didn’t seem to really need it. He wore khaki slacks, moss-green golf shirt and a tweed jacket to ward off November’s chilly morning breeze. He went into the back where floor to ceiling windows let in the weak sunlight. He paused to pick up a paperback from the rack and then, choosing a comfortable chair at a long reading table, he got settled and opened a book. Becky sat back at her desk, and wrapping her arms around her torso, rocked to and fro, trying to get her hormones under control. Mr. Harcroff had certainly jump-started her little 'girl-girl' engine. She was a little surprised. It had been a long time since she had felt so heated… not since, damn… not since Danny Miller!

Danny had been her boyfriend. Well, not boyfriend really; she had provided amusement, was closer to the truth. They had never discussed love or even a future together. At least not beyond the next fuck. Becky had met him at a girlfriend’s party. He was looking for something young, cute and chaste, and she had walked through the door: blond, cute ski-jump nose, dressed in pink with new, white vinyl boots. She was almost fourteen. He was nineteen. It took him all of ten minutes to cut her out of the herd.

Becky moved up and down the aisles, re-shelving books knowing full well he was watching. The bookcases were open shelving and he could catch a glimpse of her from time to time while she worked. She could feel his eyes on her body. She stretched, reached, and knelt down; slipping books into vacant slots. When she could, Becky stole a glance at him; he had abandoned his reading and was watching intently. She liked it.

Sex with Eric, her fiance, was mechanical and unimaginative. As badly as things had turned out with Danny, she missed the excitement. After their first encounter, she had thought it would be over, but Danny Miller had other ideas. He started picking her up after school. It was always for the sex and he taught her everything anyone would care to know. He could never seem to get enough and he liked it hard and kinky. They did it everywhere: in the bathroom at the pool hall, on his boss' desk, bent over the swat cannon in front of City Hall, in the back of the bus on the way to a football game, in the bed of his friend's pickup truck while doing seventy down I-95. And finally, even in front of his friends.

Becky had been working her way up and down the aisles, re-shelving books. She had worked her way closer and closer to where Mr. Harcroff sat and now turned the corner of the last bookcase and pushed her cart to a stop in front of his table. She picked up a couple of books and replaced them; the last one on the top shelf, where she had to stand on tippytoes. The hem of her dress slide up over lively thighs and she heard him stir, but she didn’t look 'round. Becky returned to the cart and was picking up another book when he startled her.

“Becky. God, Becky! What are you doing to me?”

She half turned toward him. The book in her hand caught the handle of the cart and slipped from her fingers to the floor. She knelt down to retrieve it, one knee on the carpet, exposing the inner thigh of the opposite leg. There was the intake of breath, a poignant sound that caused her to look over to him. His eyes were frozen on her. It was crazy, but she slowly raised a hand and teased the soft flesh, raking her fingernails along the taut skin as he watched. Then, with the blood pounding in her ears, she grabbed the hem of her dress and pulled it higher, until it was even with her crotch.”It's what you wanted to see...”

*      *      *      *

Becky found herself desperately waiting for Thursday when Mr. Harcroff was due at the library, again. It was only a couple of days but he had kindled a small spark in her chest and she desperately wanted to fan those flames.

Thursday morning, she showered, dressed carefully and took extra time with her hair. Mr. Harcroff came into the library a little before ten. She took cardboard and printed a sign: “Back in 5 minutes” and taped it to the front door then twisted the lock. Becky pushed her cart of books along the end wall to where the restroom was located, went in and checked herself in the mirror. She looked pretty good. She had brushed her blond hair until it glistened radiantly and had used a touch of pale lipstick. She was wearing her favorite sweater: soft pink angora that was tight along her torso and, without a bra, it cupped her breasts seductively, giving her a soft, sleekness. It hugged her tummy, ending above her navel, leaving an expanse of pale skin above the waist of her fitted skirt. If I was being photographed, she thought, it would be a soft focus, making me cuddly, like a kitten.

Satisfied, she pried off her high heels and took off her skirt and underpants, then pulling open her bag, she found her hair brush. Becky back-brushed her pubic hair, checked the mirror again and returned the brush with quaking fingers. She pulled on her shoes. Turning, she studied herself carefully from the waist down. The soft angora ended three inches above the elongated belly button, which, like a beauty mark, highlighted her tight tummy. And below, like a milk-pod hung between her high hip bones, the curve of her belly accentuated the proud rise of her pubis. Pubic hair, glistening like a golden mantle, barely hiding the protruding lips of her swollen sex.

Swallowing hard she opened the door and stepped out into the chill of the library. He couldn't see her right away; there were five rows of bookcases between them. She rolled the cart along the first row, replacing books and thrilling at the feel of the cool air swirling in and around her legs and her bum.

Then she heard him sputter.

He had caught sight of her legs as she moved past an open spot in the shelving. As she worked up and down the aisles, closer to him, he had more opportunity to see her through the openings between the books, but he said nothing. She worked quickly and minutes later her cart was empty. Becky came out in full view, turned and coiled up into the chair beside him, like a pussycat coming to the heat.

He closed his eyes, as if pondering a decision. Becky slid forward, thrusting her knees to touch his. His eyes remained closed but a small frown creased his brow like he was holding back, trying to suppress his emotions.

Becky slowly got to her feet, stood over him. He almost seemed asleep but his breathing was staggered; his chest expanding, contracting. She leaned over him and he offered no resistance when she lifted his hands from his lap. His penis raised the soft material of his woolen trousers; a long ridge along the top of his leg. Becky steadied herself, her thighs started to quiver; her mouth watered. She slipped one knee between his. Her legs were trembling uncontrollably and she had to steady herself with a hand on the back of his chair as she swung a knee over. Shamelessly, straddling his leg, she lowered herself down, crushing her sex onto his.

She heard him suck in and his hands flexed as she slide forward, grinding into him, pausing, then pulling back, relinquishing, rocking her hips, moving forward again, once more on the attack, enjoying the sensations that were lifting up into her belly. She hungered for him; wanted him to take her, deep in. What are the chances?

She rolled her hips forward again. His hands moved quickly, gripping her by the waist. “Becky. No. We mustn’t.” And he stilled her, making her want to cry out in anguish.

She threw her head back in exasperation and it was just then that she caught the movement off to her left. Her insides turned to fractured glass. Danny Miller stood six feet away framed in one of the tall, floor-to-ceiling windows with his cheek pressed against the glass. He had an idiotic grin on his face and waved to her, cheekily; with his other hand, he worked the shutter release on his cell phone. He was taking photographs.

The next day when Becky left work, she found a huge motorcycle stretched out next to her truck. It was all black and chrome; leather with buckles and fringe; shiny springs. The tank was blood-red with the profile of an Indian Chief on the side. The bike was as long as her truck.

As she slipped behind the wheel of her pick-up, she saw Danny approaching from around the back of the library. Returning from the scene of the crime, she thought. She rolled down her window and he leaned in, propping elbows on the sill.

“No fuck-y at work today, Becky?” he sneered. “I'd hate to miss anything. You looked pretty hot, without your skirt and panties.”

“Fuck off, Danny!” she retorted, trying to fight off the feeling of inadequacy and sudden panic.

“Ah-h-h-h... the girl looks so sweet, but she got quite the mouth on her!”

“Look Danny, I've had a long day. All I want is to go on home so if you've got something intelligent to say, say it. Get to the point!”

“Get to the point?” he laughed. “Here's the fuckin' point!” And he pushed his cell phone into her face. “Who's the fuckin' old dick?”

Becky looked at the tiny screen and felt the bile rise up like the head of a cobra. The image was bright and tightly focused. Her face was full-on; her hair hooked back behind an ear. Mr. Harcroff's face was in profile but he was easily identifiable. There was a look of concentration on her face; eyes focused down to where her crotch hovered over Mr. Harcroff's leg. It was so humiliating she wanted to puke.

“You fucking tom-peeper!” Becky was so upset she got the words twisted and flushed with embarrassment.

“Your Uncle Roy's going to kill that old fart when he sees this photo. He'll cut his dick off and choke him with it!”

“You wouldn't.” Becky clamored, trying not to plead.

“Fuckin' A, darlin',” he laughed. “Your old man might enjoy seeing how nice his daughter turned out, and I'll bet your boss here at the library would be interested in finding out how you spend your time. Then there's the school, your church, your friends! Baby I'm good at this. I'll come up with more.”

Becky humped her shoulders in defeat and pushed the hair back out of her eyes. “Ok Danny,” she conceded. “I got close to a thousand dollars in my savings account. You can have it. I'll bring it over to the pool hall.”

“Oh Becky, you sweet sorry cunt,” he said. “I don't want your coin. You got something better. I saw it yesterday, up between your frigin' legs. And when you decide what to do with it, I'll be waitin' for you, right over there.” And with that he smiled, pushed up off her truck, mounted the sidewalk and disappeared back around the end of the building.

Manipulate, then humiliate... she relented. It was classic Danny Miller! Becky sat in her truck listening to the heart-thud. If it had just been her in that photo she would have turned the ignition key and backed on out. But dear sweet Mr. Harcroff was poised beneath her and the photo didn't reveal that he had resisted her efforts. He would be blamed for abusing her. And she couldn't let that happen. She just couldn't.

Becky got out of the truck before she could bring herself to think clearly about what she was about to do. Well it's not like I haven't fucked him before, she tried to justify her actions as she retraced his steps along the sidewalk that led to the rear of the building. When she turned the corner, he had his back to her, looking out over the duck pond.

She searched for someplace to do it but the picnic tables had been stored away for the winter. Danny turned when he heard her footstep on the walkway; he was already out and ready. She glanced around again but there wasn't anyplace so she just turned on the sidewalk and bent over, her hands on her knees.

Chuckling, Danny came up behind her and ran his hands down across her ass and thighs. Her insides withered and she instantly felt soiled; touched by disease. He fumbled up the hem of her dress, crumbling it around her waist. She stared ahead at the brickwork as he pried down the elastic of her pantyhose. She felt the moist head between her legs; then her vagina was stretching painfully to accommodate him.

Becky swallowed hard to stifle the cry in her throat. “Easy!” she hissed, and concentrated on holding back the tears. But he just laughed and pulling back slightly, he renewed his thrust with more vigor so that she held up a hand to the library wall and locked her elbow to stop from being toppled over. He prodded her with short, agonizing strokes; increasing the speed 'till she felt delirious with humiliation and hurt. His breath rasped out in quick uneven grunts and she knew he was heated and wouldn't take long. She just needed to hold on a few moments more and he would finish. Her knees and hips ached and she was trying to shift her position a bit when she surprised herself.

She choked back a growing burst of emotion before it could escape her lips. God it is good! So good! No! No! she thought. It can't be! But damn, she hadn't been worked over like this in years. Keep going! Keep going, harder! Her body started to respond. No I can't. But then she was totally and completely engulfed by a tooth-rattling orgasm.

“No... no! Fuck, Danny! No!” She was at a loss to know what she wanted. Her throat was dry and tight as she felt him convulse; toppling over on her. He was about to defile her. She pushed a hand back, “No!” she shouted again and stumbled forward, twisted away.

“You fuckin' bitch,” he swore. “You've fuckin' wasted it.” He stepped back and pulled up his fly. “I give you a chance and you fuckin' wasted it.”

“No. Please, Danny. Please give me another chance.” I must be crazy, she thought but she continued to plead with him as he turned to leave. Tears had suddenly exploded from beneath her eyelids and she was choking on her words. He was already halfway to the corner of the building, giving a backward, dismissive flip of his hand by the time she scrambled to her feet to run after him.

“I'm sorry, Danny. Please. I'll be good,” she appealed to him as she reached for his arm. “Please give me another chance.”

Becky's fingers closed on the leather but he tore his elbow from her grasp, took another two strides, then stopped. Without turning, he said, “Ok Becky. There is something...” He paused a moment to ponder his thoughts. Her knees were giving out and she leaned back against the brickwork, thankful on one hand that he had reconsidered, but also filled with dread at what it might cost her. “There is a little something you can do for me,” he continued. “Drop by my place later tonight. I have something for you. Eight o'clock.”

“Thank you, Danny,” Becky whispered but he had already turned the corner and was gone.

She gathered her wits and waited until the sound of his motorcycle had echoed down the street. She struggled her underwear and pantyhose back into place. Then she went to the water's edge to rinse her hands. She felt disgusted as she washed. It was the second time this week that she had washed another man's semen from Eric's engagement ring...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 2 Circle Bright

The day’s torture wasn’t over, since we still had to tell Heather about the state of things. She was supposed to be calling me that evening after dinner. Lara and I had discussed what we would say to her, but it hadn’t been easy to come up with anything. It felt cruel, now, as we remembered how inspired she’d been the past few days. Now we had to throw sand over it again and bury it away. Before dinner we went for another walk since it was easier to talk freely that way. It was dark, so we...

Colin and Shannon were still chatting near the door to Jane’s classroom, so I told her I’d grab our regular seats. When the bell rang a few minutes later, she joined me. “I guess we’ll have to check out the photos later,” Shannon said apologetically. “Tomorrow’s another day,” I said, grinning. “Nah, no school tomorrow.” I turned to her as Jane called for quiet. “Really? Why?” “Another big storm,” she whispered. “Whoa! They already cancelled?” “I don’t know. But we’re going to get...

After the successful phone call to Colin, Shannon was on cloud ten as we tramped through the deepening snow with the saw horses. Well, I carried the barricades; she badgered me about not being allowed to help. “They’re not that heavy,” I dismissed. “Which is why you should let me carry one!” “They’re crazy heavy,” I amended quickly, pretending to stagger. “This isn’t the eighteen-thirties, Matt. Chivalry is pretty much dead.” “Says the girl who dances in a show where there is literally a...

Friday. The last day before the masks went on, before Dad would have to sleep in my desk drawer for two full seasons, and before Truth was buried, maybe forever. We cleaned, we arranged, we considered everything to make our home normal. After dinner, the four of us were satisfied with both the house and the cabin. Our guests would be treated with respect and love. After dinner, Lara and I went for a walk. It was made much easier by the fact that Colin and Shannon had plowed our driveway at...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 6 Fire for the Cold Ones

Given the unknown amount of potential baggage, Sarah decided to pick up the twins by herself. At best, one more person could have gone with her, but if it turned out that Muireann and Tommy were major packers then it would’ve been a tight fit and an uncomfortable ride. We knew from their letter that they’d likely be bringing some instruments with them. “Better safe than sorry. Besides, this will be my first and last chance to talk to them, I’m sure,” Sarah joked. “Don’t worry, we’ll let you...

I’d set an alarm for five, deciding that the lack of sleep would be better than leaving the twins stranded by themselves. However, when I slapped the sound off and staggered out into the living room, all was quiet. Figuring they’d be up soon, I grabbed my Walkman and stretched out on the couch to relax while I waited. As it turned out, I fell asleep and Lara ended up waking me up. I started, surprised to see her shaking me. “What time is it?” I asked, pulling the tangled headphones from my...

Figuring that the ‘warmest’ part of the day was passing, Lara suggested that if we still wanted to swim, now was the time. Tommy had not forgotten the offer and eagerly agreed, not put off by the frigid air temperature. We put away our guitars and returned to the house to don bathing suits. It was admittedly a bit odd, since Lara and I never did so; pulling jeans over the trunks felt completely alien. Lara had a giant stack of towels in her arms when we met up in the living room. Muireann...

“Well, last period is finally here. Enjoying the first day?” I asked, leading Muireann to some desks on the side of the classroom. I avoided my usual study hall spot, where Carl and a couple of other guys I usually sat with were already seated. “Aye, though it’s been a whirlwind,” she admitted. “Yeah, introducing you in each class ... I swear everyone has met you three times over!” Muireann sniffed. “At least that many. It felt a bit odd, all that. But everyone seems nice.” “For the most...

The morning Alana dropped me off, my reunion with Lara was delicious. We shared a long and happy hug. I’d made every effort while with Alana to do exactly one thing: be with my dear friend. But on returning, I let all that stored-up love for Lara emerge again, and I didn’t want to let go of her. Of course, we eventually had to peel apart. She was due at the shelter soon, so after greeting my moms and Frej, we resumed our morning walks that she’d kept up in my absence. As usual, we didn’t...

We entered August, the last full month of summer, of vacation, and of divine mountain warmth. I spent all my time at Clara’s; Lara increased her hours at the shelter since Chuck hired her more formally and started paying her for her computer work. Our tent became lived-in and undeniably welcoming the more we used it and adjusted our setup. With Frej’s help, we’d flown an oversized tarp above the area that gave us some dry space around the shelter in times of rain. It remained a heavenly...

Are you sure about this... ? Back down by the house, I found Frej in the garage. He was peering closely at a tangle of wires. “These new electronics...” he grumbled. “They are all so small and impossible to fix... ! Or maybe I need glasses.” I laughed as best I could with the tremors that seemed to be creeping into me from all sides. I haven’t been sure of anything lately... “Need a break?” I asked. He tossed the thing onto the worktable and grinned at me. “Yes, that is enough for...

We followed Heather down the pathway to the rocky intertidal expanse and picked our way toward the rowboat that sat patiently in the shallows. Between us, we silently pushed the craft into deeper waters, until it floated freely with enough clearance for the extra weight it would now carry. Heather held it steady as first Lara and then I got in. She joined us with a nimble leap. I studied the rowboat as I sat in the stern with Lara. Though clearly aged, it was sturdy and well-maintained. A...

Not even twenty-five hours into our new life, it became clear that our bodies were entirely unprepared for the relentless existence of sea-harvesting with Heather. When we awoke after that first night’s sleep, early morning’s glow was faint. What’s the rush? It was Heather who had roused us, and despite various attempts to roll over and slumber away the deep soreness that pervaded every cubic inch of my limbs, she would not allow it. I finally yawned, struggled to sit up, and gave her a look...

“Welcome to darkroom class,” I announced as Muireann followed me into the darkroom the following evening. She eyed me. “Are you going to lie on the bed again?” I grinned broadly. “I think I might, and let you do the work. Hands-on is the best way to learn, right?” “You’re going to give Tommy a run for the title of laziest boy.” “Am I winning yet?” Muireann just smirked and started blacking out the windows. “I have to admit something,” she said. “What’s that?” “I didn’t realize the...

When Melissa and I returned to the house after dropping off the order for the necklace, nothing much had changed. In the cabin I found Lara and Tommy at the table, intently studying a sheet of paper. They didn’t even glance at me as I closed the door. I could hear Muireann’s muffled fiddle playing from the darkroom, the sound of a slow Irish melody permeating the warmed air inside. “How’s it going?” I announced, taking off my coat. After scribbling something down, Lara turned to me, smiling...

I felt an arm grip my winter coat. “Matt ... I don’t know that we can do this!” “Of course you can. It’s not that hard.” “No, I’m worried about Tommy!” she whispered. “What if he falls? Or runs into someone?” I gave her gloved hand a pat. “He’ll be okay. It’s pretty soft, you know. Watch...” I let myself fall sideways like a cut tree, landing on my hip and shoulder. Muireann gave a little cry of surprise, but I just laughed it off. In another moment I was standing again. “You want to...

We have a lot of songs that we know now. Some more than others.” “I’m thinking we should do an original,” I offered. “We have Four Days, Shell Game, Absinthe... And Please Don’t Stop, but since we played that one at the show last year, probably not a good idea.” “Don’t forget Gunkstomp!” Lara...

Jane pursed her lips. “Interesting approach.” “I know there’s only six photos, but we both did take six shots,” I explained. “There’s two exposures on each!” Jane gave me a small smile. “Yes,...

After all the greetings and chats following our guests’ arrival, dinner was soon going to be ready. With Frej volunteering to help with what remained of meal preparations, we’d been told to go hang out. Not being one to deny my parents’ wishes, I didn’t think twice to drag...

I tried delaying our hike for a day. I really did. Although Heather’s ankle was sore after she removed the ski boots in the lodge, by the time we got home it was already feeling a little better. She could certainly get around, since it mostly hurt only when putting sideward pressure on it. Skiing was probably out for a few days, at least, but a walk through the woods was not worth postponing. Or so she said. I was of two minds. Twenty-four hours of extra rest would allow more time for her to...

It has no meaning on its own.” “I know, I know. It’s just ... most people would find it kind of...” “Weird,” she supplied. “You said it, not me,” I laughed. “It is what it is.” “Yeah ... Anyway,...

And there was the teasing, of course. Endless. “Nice, Muireann!” Heather chirped. “You’ve learned a lot about photography, I can tell.” “She has a good eye,” Shannon agreed. “Matt has been teaching me.” “Which makes it all the more surprising!” Funny...

Admittedly, I was slightly apprehensive as we pulled into our clearing that evening after our day of skiing. Heather, alone with Tommy all day... The snow was falling heavily again through the headlight beams. Both Frej’s and the Martins’ cars were parked in the same positions they had been that morning, and they remained covered in several inches of snow. Oddly, there were no lights on in the main house. Maybe Muireann was rubbing off on me, because for a few seconds I had a panicked vision...

Mairead and Aongus left after lunch the next day, forced to end their vacation earlier than Frej and Heather due to the demands of the business they owned. I was indeed grateful for the Danishman’s generosity in allowing Heather to remain for another three days. The Martins’ departure left a rather obvious hole in our daily schedule. After dinner was cleared and we sat around the table, it suddenly seemed remarkably silent. The positive feedback loop between Tommy and Aongus had been...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 21 Mother Time

I was grateful for the band. Heather’s departures were never a good thing for me, inevitably the start of a long slide down into wistful distance, but the fact that I could go from our final embrace to playing my guitar within fifteen minutes was at the very least a welcomed distraction. “So we need to start thinking about a set for the battle,” I said, once we’d played a few numbers to warm up and clear the farewell feelings as best we could. “We have six originals, so we’ll need another...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 22 The Bed That We Made

The week passed slowly and somewhat agonizingly, since Gwen couldn’t rehearse again until the following weekend, and the homework was being laid on thick. I was anxious to make as much progress as we could on the set, which we still hadn’t quite settled on. Certainly as the battle approached, I was imagining more and more how it might turn out, even though I knew that daydreaming about the glories of winning was a dangerous game. Things could turn out so many different ways, surely, but in...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 23 Soon Irsquoll Be Gone

If I hadn’t been sure that Tommy had Dr. Kendall in his back pocket, that was put to rest in study hall the following Tuesday. Carmen, Tommy, and I were walking along the outside of the school building, on our way to the fields as was our habit now, when the principal rounded the far corner and came toward us. “Uh oh,” Carmen said. “Caught.” “Principal alert,” I whispered, for Tommy’s benefit. The three of us laughed quietly, all of us wearing shades as was our other habit these days. “We...

Carmen was disappointed but seemed understanding when I called her to let her know that we didn’t have room for her after all. It was a bit strange to talk to her on the phone, something that I didn’t think I’d ever done before. Odd, considering we were together for a while. Then again, this fact was testament to how messed up that time had been for me. Saturday evening arrived, and it was not without some anxiety that we packed the gear into Colin and Shannon’s vehicles. While my moms...

“Hello?” “Oh hi, Mrs. Martin. How are you?” “Matt ... It’s me,” Heather said. I jerked in my chair. “What... ? No way! You said ‘Hello’!” “I guess I did.” This must be part of a joke... “Okay ... Where have you been? We were supposed to talk on Wednesday, remember?” “What day is it today?” Heather asked. I was quiet for a second. “It’s Friday? Seriously, is everything all right? You answered weird ... Well, you answered normally, which is weird for you. And you really don’t know what...

I was surprisingly alert when Tommy and I slipped into Frej’s car at a quarter of six, just as the light was starting to make itself known in the east. I let Tommy have the front so I could squeeze against Heather in the back. “Good morning, my love,” she whispered, and immediately I wondered if I was overdressed for the warmth she caused in me. Maybe forgetting all my clothes at home would be okay after all. Damn kissing ban, though... “Is your man coming with us today?” Tommy asked...

Lara responded so sweetly when I asked if she could entertain the twins, that I took her into a surprisingly hard hug. We were alone in my room, so I made no effort to hold back. “Easy there, bro,” she warned, even as she returned the tight embrace. “I’m so sorry about the underwater thing,” I breathed. “I still feel terrible about it.” “No sweat. I know you didn’t do it on purpose, because you hate doing laundry. And now you’re stuck doing it every day!” I laughed. “True. But it’s the...

It was strange to wake up. I was still on the couch, but Heather was gone, and I was horizontal and covered by a blanket. I could hear my moms and aunt chatting in the living room, since I was occupying their usual morning hangout spot. Then again, the sun was bright and the shadows on the porch floor were well past parallel to the wood beams, suggesting that my first meal of the day would be called ‘late lunch’ and certainly not ‘breakfast’. So, I really took their usual afternoon spot......

I think I’m half-Danish... It took me a moment, I’ll admit. It was perhaps like seeing someone on a distant hill make an odd movement, and only realizing a long second later that it was the head-on motion of an archer having released an arrow to fly forth from her bow. It took me a moment, yes, but then that five-word missile arrived, slamming into my heart with surgical precision. The world seemed to spin. I only knew one Danish person, and I knew him quite well. I struggled to hold her...

“Do you wish this never happened?” she asked quietly. I turned to look at Heather, her face illuminated by the fading twilight. Until now, Heather had not spoken in the half-hour or so since I’d silently confirmed her connection to Frej. I didn’t mind the quiet, because I had much to think about myself. The pier was strangely deserted, and we’d migrated to the gazebo to sit. “Why do you say that?” I asked. “Because it really puts a new light on everything.” “It does, it does,” I agreed....

I was just about to make a call when Lara poked her head into my room. “Back to the telephone life, huh?” she said, giving me a sympathetic look. “Yep. Hard times again.” “You could’ve been born a hundred years ago,” she observed, “and then you wouldn’t even have had the phone.” “If I’d been born a hundred years ago, I would’ve missed out on her completely. And on you too, sis ... But I’m glad for the phone either way.” Lara nodded thoughtfully. “True. Come up to the cabin when you’re...

On Monday, I was very relieved to get summoned to the principal’s office. Despite the amused looks I got from my classmates, I was feeling pretty high. Dr. Kendall had been silent since our meeting the previous week, a bit worrisome since the time before May wasn’t exactly abundant. But I trusted in his promise, and now it seemed we’d be shifting into gear. When I stepped into his office, another man was already sitting in one of the chairs. He looked vaguely familiar. I took the initiative...

“Sorry I stole your bed,” Lara said, giving me a sheepish grin as she wandered out of my room the next morning. I shrugged. “The couch is comfortable enough.” “I didn’t mean to fall asleep. We were working on lyrics, you know, and ... Yeah. Where is everyone?” “Colin’s not here yet, and Gwen came by a while ago but just grabbed Muireann and took off. And you and Tommy have been sleeping like logs.” “Where did Gwen take her?” “Beats me. She said they’d be back in a few...

I would’ve laughed, except that I suddenly realized how close I’d just been to revealing Heather’s secret. Holy shit... ! Way too close. “I’m sorry about that just now,” I explained, my skin prickling. “Sometimes Heather, well ... She’ll...

The scene at Smith Park, when we pulled in around noon, was rather astonishing. The light scaffolds loomed over the stage, and for a long moment I stood by the car door in complete shock. We’re going to be playing on that... ! “Are you coming, lad?” Tommy asked, having already seized his guitar and equipment bag from the trunk. I snapped out of it and went to grab my own things. “Yeah. It’s just that ... it looks pretty damn neat, man.” He grinned. “I’m sure it does. Now let’s go set...

The post-concert went by in a rush. People came and went, to greet us, share their joy and emotions. The twins and Lara in particular were mobbed, which was fine with me. I’ve had just about as much excitement as I can take... After hugging the people closest to me, I slipped back up to the stage again, grateful for the banality of winding cables, collapsing mic stands, and the opportunity to help the sound and lighting crews get their work done just a little faster. They’d been amazing...

Away... From us... To say these words affected me would be a vast understatement. The massive upwelling that I’d seen a moment earlier in Heather’s eyes, that flood which would destroy everything around ... It suddenly burst out of the sea. Nothing prepared me for its impact. My throat constricted and suffocation beckoned, caressing me gently into blackening edges. “Why?” I tried to ask, but the sound was grotesque, a pitiful gurgle at best. “Shh, shhhh,” she consoled through tears,...

On the day that our connection was severed, I was roused by a warm hand caressing my face, the fingers leaving behind energetic currents. “Good morning, my love...” I opened my eyes all at once. The sun was just barely tinting the sky, and I was disoriented, wondering why the couch felt odd. It took me a moment to realize that I was down in the main house. Memories abruptly returned in a panicked rush. The night before, after partying for a while, the three of us had taken to Lara’s old bed...

The long work of pulling the concert together had fully caught up and crashed into me. That wasn’t the source of my problems, though, or I would’ve simply slept hard for a few days and been done with it. If I’d wanted to take a ‘sick’ day or two to stay home from school, no one would have batted an eyelid, for any of us. I wouldn’t have even had to fake a fever, holding the thermometer against a hot light bulb. I could just cash in on good karma. Instead, on Wednesday I’d found myself...

“So, how much of this will you tell Tommy?” It was the first thing Muireann had said in some time, having grown progressively more reticent as I revealed my secrets to her, one by one. There were many, so it had taken a long while. But they were out, now... All of them. “Tommy...” I murmured. “Yeah, I’m not sure.” “He’s very fond of Lara.” I sniffed. “I know that. You think he’ll be weirded out?” “I can’t say for sure. And what about her?” I frowned. “Lara? She knows all of this...

I was waiting for Muireann to emerge from the restroom before we headed to photography class, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I figured she was playing the other-shoulder trick to get me to look the wrong way, but I was surprised to find Bruno there after all. “Oh, hey man ... What’s up?” I greeted. “We need to talk,” he said quietly, glancing anxiously down the hall. “Hm. Let me guess ... Pete?” “Yeah. Are you heading to class? I can walk with you.” “I am, but ...

That evening, I was once again drained. Despite the temporary refueling that Muireann had gifted me in the pool after the terror of Pete’s episode, the subsequent rehearsal of Other Side had eventually sapped me. I could also tell that Muireann was almost as wiped as I was. The song was intense. It was a great relief when we both settled down into our beds in the main room of the cabin, her on the cot and me on the couch. “The downside of sleeping out here is that you can’t go to bed until...

Pete didn’t attend school the rest of the week. The two times I called over to his house, I hung up as soon as I heard his dad answer. Even Bruno said that he hadn’t been able to talk to him since the day he canned Skinner. I was feeling unsettled again, but I held on to the hope that whatever was in motion was happening out of sight. It was all I could do, besides barging over there again and trying to force another chat. In the meantime, I made sure that all my other irons were still in...

The talent show was in full swing. Ready or not, the acts were cycling on and off the stage with inevitable tempo. This time around, Green Space had opened the show, and The Nameless would soon close it. “I hope Pete keeps it together,” I said to Lara, as we stood in the wing watching a kid play a rather impressive classical piece on the piano. “He will. Muireann seems to have a calming influence on him.” “Yeah, I noticed. She’s been so helpful in dealing with Pete these last few weeks, I...

It was early evening on Sunday and the final music marathon was coming to an end, our last opportunity for rehearsing as a full band before Jonah’s concert the following weekend. Gwen was particularly intent about everything, calling out any and all problems she heard, and by now we didn’t question her judgment or ear. The only unknown was if we had the skill to do whatever she asked of us. Usually we did, even if it meant practicing it thirty times. Or more, in my case... But now it was...

We exchanged fist bumps, handshakes, and shit-eating grins. “This event is going to be the jewel in the Castle’s crown, I’m fucking telling you!” he gushed. “You’ve been busy,” Lara said, looking around at the yard...

Sunday was a complete waste. I spent the morning dead to the world, vaguely aware of being moved from Jonah’s cabin to Shannon’s car, and then to Colin’s recliner. At least the world was happy about something, because whenever I was semi-conscious I could mostly hear laughing around me. In retrospect, I was obviously being hidden from my folks until such time that I was with it again; that turned out to be late afternoon. Well, maybe not ‘with it’, but a few hours before dinner I finally...

I slumped in the front seat as Sarah started the car. She drove slowly, winding through the short-term parking lot, then out into the seemingly hundreds of ramps and exchanges that strangled the airport like a concrete octopus. Eventually the stress of navigating lanes and fighting off aggressive taxis dissipated as she started heading east on the Southern State Parkway. East, yes, because we had a stop to make. In fact, the twins would be sleeping in their own beds again before I did. Then...

There was no need to climb the stairs and knock, on the chance that anyone would be there. The ‘For Sale’ sign out front and lack of decorations on the porch were enough indication that they’d moved...

Then Clara said one thing to me: ‘Let me go... ‘ It wasn’t really her speaking, of course. I wondered what message she would’ve had for me if I’d answered her question with a...

Each little splash measured one more instant of being together with my sister, little moments that when placed end to end added up to simple perfection. Because the hours that recently passed had been just that: a complete surrender of any fear of each other. Our deeds and misdeeds were starting to come out now, weighed and reckoned, then...

Summer was fully ripened now, it being the latter part of July. The chorus of insects was thick in the air as I walked along the last stretch of our road. I was alone; Lara was already home, having left the shelter an hour before I’d swung by to gather her. In fifteen minutes I’d be in the creek, washed clean by Roe, and enjoying my time with her. Or, so I thought. As usual, expectations sure were a bitch. Well, not a bitch this time, but a gorgeous girl that I adored! “Hey there...
