Mandy

It had been an OK party so far. I was in Los Angeles for the week, enjoying spending some time with my cousin. While Paul and I were not real close, he was good for a free place to stay. So when he got invited to a party I was naturally invited also. So here I was, in a town 2,000 miles from home on a Friday night, drinking beer with people I did not even know. What a dull way to spend the night. Well, at least there was a keg for me to pull from. Most of the people here were kids....

The Call

At six thirty AM, on an ordinary June Saturday, Trevor Maxwell woke up. He didn't have to. He only worked Monday through Friday. Trevor's body just demanded it. Bleary eyed, he sat up, swiveled his feet out of bed, and to the floor. Arms reaching through the air to either side the thirty three year old man stretched. The muscles in his back responded, waking up as well. Turning his head to the side, he looked over his shoulder as his arms fell back to the bed. His wife's collar was still...

A Teddy Bear Stole My Girl

It all started very innocently after I saw an ad on the internet for one of those life-sized Teddy Bears to send your girlfriend for Valentine's Day. It had a beautiful red ribbon around the neck and looked very lifelike and fluffy in the photo. I was worried that it would not arrive before the magical romance day but it showed up at my Doreen's door right as promised the afternoon just before Valentine's Day. She called me on her phone and texted me a nice thank you message and a photo of...

Kachina

Shimmering bloated masses of yellow, red, and brown sandstone surrounded me as I reclined in the blazing sun. The afternoon sky was as dark blue as I have ever seen it. And far below me, the crystal clear water filling the canyon reflected the color of the sky, barely revealing the shadowy depths beneath the surface. Hot bone-dry air wafted lazily over my sweaty skin, fluttering through my long blond hair. This place is an improbable witch's brew of landscaping: one part stark moonscape, one...

The Best Bus Trip Ever

So this was supposed to be a 'great' adventure, a bus trip (yes, I said bus trip) from Concord, New Hampshire to Flagstaff, Arizona. Why not fly, you might ask? That's what I asked my dear mother when she dropped this bomb on me. Her response? "Because I don't have the god-damned money, that's why. Get over it!" I was so not looking forward to three days on an interstate bus. Here's the situation. The day after school was out for summer vacation, I was supposed to be on my way to stay...

Somnyptica Training Talia

Talia was a slave to her insomnia. It ruled her days and tormented her nights. When she was working, she was exhausted and irritable. When she was at home in bed, she tossed and turned, hopeless and helpless. Night after night she would do everything the sleep books advised, to no avail. She avoided heavy foods, she kept her bedroom for just sleeping. She didn't get up when sleep didn't come, she didn't engage in mental exercises. Nothing helped. When the insomnia was bad enough, she'd down...

B la Book 3 Wrinkles in TimeChapter 11

"No, actually, you were pretty easy to find," Tabatha said, shoving another mouthful of glass noodles into her face. "We monitor everyone that's important to maintaining the status quo." "You mean you've got everyone bugged?" Jake asked, chuckling. The more he was with his nurse (captor?), the more enamored he became with her. It was almost like she was 'the other half of my soul!' "You'd be more than a little surprised at how simple it was," Tabatha smirked. "We have agents...

07 Home 2Chapter 23

Present – Jack – At the cabin We are under attack from what has to be a truck bomb. We begin to shoot the shit out of the truck when Jennifer's crazy assed dog runs toward the truck. In a panic I order, "Make sure you don't shoot Jennifer's dog!" The furry fucker jumps up on the hood of the truck and begins to bite the hell out of the windshield wipers (which the driver turned on to distract the dog). Then the damn dog continues the attack and somehow works his way into the cab of the...

Smoke and MirrorsChapter 3

As the Win DX field team was making a flight plan, Brian contacted them on the secure phone. They were booked into the Rio Pescado Fishing Lodge for some R&R for a week. After that they would again go back to the villa to see what might have been left behind. Their adversaries hadn't found the surveilance equipment, or picked up the transmissions. They had just recently missed Mustafa, Najef Said and the four men who never reached Las Vegas. They were abuzz that the Israeli Massad was...

07 Home 2Chapter 27

Present – Jack – At the cabin SHIT! It sure as hell is pouring here! We finally get the main cover off the air access for the tunnels and there's something that looks like a machine gun in there. One of the Marines shoots it (typical Marine) then it begins spraying the tunnel with rounds and even gimbals up toward us! We dive to the ground just in time. I need to have a serious fucking talk with Jennifer if she's still alive - her fucking killer cabin bullshit needs to end! Then one of...

Wendolyn Too Number 4 in STOPWATCHChapter 22 The Magic Bag

It makes no difference how you slice it, dice it, or entice it ... there is no easy way to get to Durango ... unless you fly. They were already committed to the southern route ... no matter what, it was going to be miles out of the way any road. Any road worth taking, that is. You can go to Denver, to Grand Junction and south on 550. You can go to Pueblo, to Canyon City and Montrose then south on 550. Alamosa? Pretty much straight through on 160 ... if you can call that straight. When...

B la Book 3 Wrinkles in TimeChapter 12

Katie’s little blue Continental sat on the landing pad outside Jake’s cabin. Tanya felt strange about driving it, but her son Frank Jr. had given it to her, and, since it was all she had left of her daughter, she kept it. “You sure you don’t mind babysitting?” Béla asked. “You realize that Lisa could abandon you on the moon if she felt like it, don’t you?” Tanya smiled. “We’ll be fine. Go have fun,” she said, thinking of the fun she and Frank had had the previous Sunday. Béla stared up at...

Wendolyn Too Number 4 in STOPWATCHChapter 25 Yeah I Know

There's nothing to write about here. It's a piss boring trip from Armadillo to Albuquerque and up to Durango. It's desolate waste land that has no value. That's why the Native Americans got it. Washington had no use for the land and less use for the Navajo. Any time a white found a use for a piece of the rez, Washington took it. No compensation, and no apologies. Just took it. I highly recommend reading Lazlo Zalezac's John Carter series. He stirred my mind and my stories poured...

B la Book 3 Wrinkles in TimeChapter 18

The soldiers rode into the gypsy camp at midnight wielding torches and swords. Whooping and yelling with battle fever, they cut down everyone who tried to escape. They set fire to the wagons. The old woman noticed that the soldiers were putting the sword to the men, but were running down the women with their horses. She knew that the women who survived the heavy hooves of the horses would later wish they had died here. Katrina's wagon was at the far end – nearest the trees. She and Maria,...

Devlin s StoryChapter 43

Doug was a head case, that much was clear by the time they got to the car. "It felt... I don't know, it felt strange, Devlin. Not like anything I've experienced before." He started the car, but didn't move, letting it warm up. "A woman's vagina doesn't feel like her anus," she replied. "Or at least that's what I've been told. I don't know about guys." "Well, it didn't feel like any man, either. And she squeezed me. That's when I lost it. I was thinking I could maintain,...

Saint LukeChapter 3

I only got lost twice before I found the hospital, but I did find it eventually. Once inside, it took me another hour and a half just to get confirmation that the girl had been brought in, but the nurses seemed completely disinterested and unwilling to tell me anything at all since I wasn’t a relative. I admit I was making something of a pest of myself, but I never expected them to call the police on me. The police officer who showed up, an American Indian woman whose nametag said Wilson,...

Flights of Consciousness Book II Time TrippingChapter 2

One day shortly before David turned seventeen, he concentrated and pictured his math teacher in his mind, and then wished he could connect with him. Suddenly his consciousness looked down on the slovenly man. Eager to test the possibilities of his new approach, he pictured Denise, someone he'd never met while in his body, and in a flash, his consciousness hovered over her in Albuquerque as she moved her fingers over the keyboard of a computer. Excited, he tested his newfound ability with a...

Signed First EditionChapter 4

NOVEMBER 21st, 2011 I consider myself to have a scientific mind. I don't know if that's something a person is born with, or whether he or she endeavors to acquire it as life goes on. At any rate, I tend to look with suspicion upon urban legends, old wives tales, and general suppositions; and when someone starts a conversation on socioeconomics with the statement: "Well, it's a known fact that... ," I can't help but physically cringe. And so, keeping that little predilection in mind,...

Becoming KayEpilogue

Twenty-Three Years Later (10YG) Seven year Donna Prisk looked out of the airplane window. "Mommy, look! The Golden Gate Bridge!" Kay got out of her seat and looked out the window with her daughter. The sun was just starting to burn off the morning fog. The base of the bridge was still obscured by mist. It made the structure look like it was sitting on a cloud. "How pretty. It has been a long time since I've been to San Francisco. I'd forgotten how lovely the city is. "But that means...

MICHAEL R THOMASChapter 64

Getting up to start our last full day before leaving on our trip, we had a full house of Peter and Katherine, Jeff and Ally plus Mom and Dad. “I haven’t seen you all in a few days ... thanks for leaving us alone, we had a great time not worried about any adults in the house,” I said. “No, you are not seeing things. They both got their haircuts, as did I yesterday. We have some things to get from the pharmacy sometime today.” “Get dressed and we will fix you some breakfast,” Ally said. “We...

Saint LukeChapter 8

I think that if I had not run into Jimmy, I might have ended it. I was convinced that I owed a life for a life and the more I thought about it, the more right it felt in my head. If I hadn’t stumbled onto the attack when I did, I think I might have done it. Instead, during a late-night walk to clear my head, I heard the sounds of a scuffle, the meaty thuds of fists striking flesh and the cries of pain that followed. The voice that cried out was that of someone young. I turned down an alley,...

Friends and BenefitsChapter 3

"Do you still have the photos?" Sherri asked, our menus having been collected by the waiter. I nodded. "Shoebox in my closet. With the others." "Other pictures?" "I'll get to those," I replied. Sherri's eyes flashed in response. Devilish and almost feral. "Do you like taking sexy photos of women?" she asked, her words slow and measured. "Absolutely." "Good. I'll keep that in mind," she drawled. She brushed a few black strands of hair away from her face. Then she slowly...

Friends and BenefitsChapter 5

I spent the drive back to my place analyzing Sherri's motives, while she followed in her own car. I didn't get it. I wasn't paying her any more, at least tonight, but she wasn't saying 'thank you' and walking away. None of the professional shrinks I had heard of ever extended their hours for free. I just didn't get it. I didn't say anything while we got settled. I poured myself a glass of wine and offered Sherri some, but she declined, only wanting water. We settled onto the couch...

River RatChapter 2

Over the last couple days, Scooter had spent a lot of time staring out the windows of several different Greyhound buses. In spite of all her outdoor experience over the years, she was pretty much an East Coaster. Except for her one trip to OLTA in Idaho, and that was farther north, she'd never even been very far west of the Appalachians, so from Knoxville west it was all new country to her. She spent a lot of the trip pinching herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She'd been half in...

B la Book 4 TimewalkerChapter 1

“I don’t care!” Tanya cried out. Frank held her tightly while she beat on his chest with her fists. “That’s my daughter inside her!” She broke down again, weeping hysterically. Frank held her tightly while she sobbed. ‘This whole family has gone fucking nuts!’ Frank thought to himself, furious and upset and not knowing who to blame. His grandson’s new wife had collapsed while she was being introduced to Jake and Béla, and now Béla was acting almost as weird as Tanya. She was completely...

Touring Under PressureChapter 14 Adventures on the Road

"Well, it's nice to see you folks so happy. Apparently you either got more sleep than we did, less alcohol, or something else to put those self-satisfied grins on your faces," Sammy commented when Alex and his posse climbed aboard Patricia's touring van. They'd decided to get an early start, skipping breakfast at the hotel. Chelsea had gotten everyone a to-go breakfast which she'd laid out on the table before them. "Hey, speak for yourself. Some of us not only didn't 'get any', but...

Friends and BenefitsChapter 20

As my flight touched down in Tucson, my thoughts turned to Tina. We'd talked several times during the holidays, but beyond that, she'd been far from my mind. Now, as I landed, she flooded my thoughts. I realized I missed her. I pondered that. 'Out of sight, out of mind' didn't quite fit. It was more like I had a life in Tucson, which Tina was a key part of, and I had a life in Colorado, that involved the weird 'friends helping each other out' dance with Sharon. As the plane rolled...

Friends and BenefitsChapter 22

"So you and Tina never did talk about whether you were a couple or not, did you?" Sherri asked. I shook my head. "I assumed she knew we were just friends now, but obviously she assumed differently." Sherri winced. "Not good, Joe. Not good." I sighed. "I know. The entire time we were together in Tucson, I avoided saying that I loved her, because I didn't want to lead her on when I knew I was leaving. And then I led her on by flying her out to visit." I sighed again. "Of course, I...

Friends and BenefitsChapter 25

"Did you have any idea it was a bad mistake at the time?" Sherri asked. I grimaced. "Not consciously. In retrospect, though, I spent a lot of time talking myself into it." "What do you mean?" "Well, I spent a lot of time justifying it, and basically coming up with reasons why Sharon and Tina would enjoy posing together. Why we'd all have fun, even if there was no touching between Sharon and me. I told myself that I was just planning out the conversations with them and making sure I...

Building a CAP Based FutureChapter 78 Arriving Home

We took the two vans home and discovered that there was quite an accumulation of mail waiting. Beatrice had arranged for a neighbor to bring it in and drop it on the coffee table in the front room. Becky ran over to the table and started sorting the mail. Most was bills, but as she got to the bottom of the stack she found one large manila envelope with my name on it. She tossed it to me as she continued to work. "Is it a letter from mom?" Matti asked boredly. "Don't you want to hear...

Zachary was annoyed. Mom and Dad were completely ignoring him, leaving him strapped in this stupid chair. He let out a loud yell. "Zack!" Alicia admonished him. "Do you remember your promise? That you would behave and be quiet for one hour while daddy and I work?" Zachary sulked. Usually he didn't have to be here where his dad worked. Nanna would always take him to the park and get ice cream. But Nanna wasn't here today. That troubled him. He knew that Nanna wouldn't stay away from...

River RatChapter 36

They decided to take it easy on their way back to Flagstaff and not kill themselves behind the wheel. It took them two night stops, the second in Albuquerque, only a few hours to the east of Flagstaff, but it was late enough in the evening that they didn't want to pull in after midnight and discover that Karin wasn't at the house. They made it into Flagstaff about noon the next day, getting back to the house after being gone for almost two months, Crystal couldn't tell from the condition...

One Month of Chuck Steve an Alternative ScenarioChapter 21

MAC MELVILLE – The JUNCTION – Day 14 - Sunday This Sunday wasn't going to be a day of rest, I thought, as I got out of bed. I needed to check on how the techs of the Counterfeit Investigations Division were doing, presumably they would be using the Federal labs in LA, and it could take some time to get a response out of that group. Then I had to get Sunshine Helicopters organized as I couldn't rely on Gita Fullwood being able to do anything. After a quick breakfast at the cafeteria, I...

Intemperance Volume 2 Standing On TopChapter 7c

Jake and Helen boarded a DC-10 the next day for their trip to Omaha to pick up Jake's plane. Jake had booked them first class, a form of air travel that Helen, with more than two thousand hours of flight time, had never experienced before. She marveled over the plush seats and the attentive stewardesses but seemed a little nervous as the aircraft actually began to accelerate for it's take-off roll. "Something wrong?" he asked her as he watched her fingers gripping the armrests. "I hate...

Flights of ConsciousnessChapter 11

When Darla and her mother arrived home, Darla went searching for David and found him in his bedroom. "Mother wants to talk with us." David nodded. "Come here, first." "What?" David pulled her into his arms and gazed at her with all the love he felt inside him. "I broke a promise this afternoon. I connected with you and didn't touch you. I apologize." "When?" "While you were talking with Mother in the car." Immediately furious, she tried to twist out of his arms, but he held...

He drove into Flagstaff and checked into a Best Western Motel. He represented a national publisher of high school and college textbooks, which meant that he traveled extensively to meet with professors who were also authors, or to confer with college librarians and bookstore managers or district administrators for public and private high schools. His territory: the West. He arrived in Flagstaff to visit NAU. His avocation: raping Native American women. While in Flagstaff, he planned to...

LA FunChapter 36

Beep, beep, beep, beep. Monday morning was here with a busy week ahead. The girls were easy to wake up and dress for our morning workout. Donte came to the gym room with us and worked at his regimen. Jules obviously had a direction this morning, and was all business as she hurried so she could get through breakfast and check on the overseas markets early. She was talking to Katie about an imbalance between the Swiss Franc, English pound, and the Euro. I didn't understand it, and wasn't...

Flights of ConsciousnessChapter 13

David returned from the airport and poured himself a cup of coffee. He strolled outside and sat at the patio table, enjoying the cooler morning air while he drank his coffee. His mother had a date that night and demanded privacy. Why? What did she have planned? He couldn't remember his mother ever bringing a man home with her, and until recently, he had not thought of her as a sexual being. No longer. He now knew she had sexual needs no less intense than his own, and certainly as powerful as...

Lottery Winner TravelsChapter 9

After a while, they sat up and sat on the room’s couch. Kayla said, “That was good. I’m next and want it just as hard. I loved how you forced my throat.” “When did you two meet?” “We met in college when we were assigned as roommates. I found Kayla to be a kindred spirit. We clicked.” “When did you start, Kayla?” ‘Young. I matured early and my older brother was and is a horny bastard. He was jacking off and I caught him. I willingly helped him get off. Later, we read some porn and I tried...

One Month of Chuck Steve an Alternative ScenarioChapter 26

CHUCK – The Junction and Los Angeles When I woke up, I had to think for a second to figure out where I was, and what I had to do today. I didn't feel right, so I got up, had a quick shower, put my sports leg on, and went to visit the workout room. I felt human again after half an hour, so I went back to my room, did the three Ss, and went down for breakfast where I met Steve. "After we've met the Vice President, what do you have to do in LA?" Steve asked. "What can I do to help?" I...

Leaving Jeff's Home Consumer Store on one side, because I can't do anything about that problem until Monday, I...

Going DownSaturday May 5 2001

The wonderful thing about Saturday, Alex Ghirardelli thought, is that you don't have to get out of bed until you're damn good and ready. The sad thing was, after twenty-eight years of getting up at 04:00 to start breakfast for hungry sailors, Lex was damn good and ready. He'd already slept in two hours later than usual. Lex slipped from the covers, knowing that no matter how careful he was, the motion would wake DeeDee. She was a light sleeper—always had been. He watched her cat-like...

Frigate CoveChapter 11 Road Warrior

"This has been the most wonderful Christmas I can ever remember," Glynnis cooed as they lay entwined in their bed. "You spoiled both Jamie and me, especially with that car you bought me." "The Oldsmobile was not ageing gracefully. I wanted to make sure you were driving a safe car, especially when I wasn't around to rescue you," Cam smiled, kissing her. "The Volvo will do you nicely." "You don't always have to rescue me, you know. But, I do appreciate it. After all, that's how I...

“I guess I always felt even if the world came to an end, McDonald’s would still be open.” —Susan Pfeffer, Life As We Knew It NOTHING HAD CHANGED about the concept of a vacation that V1 remembered clearly. Dad would call home from the pay phone at Sears midday on a Friday and say “I have two weeks off. Pack.” In 1955, right after I finished my junior year in high school, we got the message and Mom had us ready to leave as soon as Dad got home from work. We filled the leg room of the back...

Grappling With SurvivalChapter 12 Resuming an Old Pattern

"Hello world; we've got some exciting news: we've finally identified specific cells associated with the Great Death plagues. This is significant, because while we still consider the plagues to be caused by viruses, we've identified a companion cell that seems to flag when the virus is present. The problem researchers had before the collapse of the medical system was that they were looking in the blood for the source of the infection, where there were just too many components to consider....

“All he did was sing it, I’m the one who programmed and played it, where’s my kiss?” Maurice said with a smirk on his face. My beautiful little sister walked over to where Maurice was sitting, got on his lap, and gave him a nice kiss, on the lips, surprising him so much, that he actually blushed. SUNDAY LATE AFTERNOON This second weekend’s performances of WEST SIDE STORY went better than anticipated, a subtle notch below opening night, but quite good nonetheless. Word of mouth generated...

Flights of ConsciousnessChapter 18

Arriving from the east, the plane landed facing a beautiful sunset that spread across the western horizon. Carol stood and gathered her things. Besides her purse, she carried a briefcase full of orders. The show in Albuquerque had been an astonishing success, due in no small part to Denise. The young woman's talent for sales had amazed Carol. Saturday evening after the show, Carol and Denise had met in the hotel bar for a drink, and Carol had asked her if she'd work all of Carol's trade...

Big Blue EyesChapter 32

“Something Broadway would be nice?” I said. “You know the show, URINETOWN?” Sandy asked. “Sure, ‘Follow Your Heart?’ You want someone to sing with?” I asked. “Yeah, Randall, you ready?” Sandy and I performed one of the many odd songs written for the relatively New Musical URINETOWN. She knew the song well enough and we had a blast playing off each other during it. When the song was over, Sandy and I clinched and almost start to kiss, when Carol starts to applaud, saying, “Wow girl – I...

B la Book 4 TimewalkerChapter 11

Elaine lay awake in her life-mate's arms. Jacob had played for her, then he'd shown her a new set of pipes he was carving. One side of the dual-bodied pipes was much smaller than the other. When he'd shown her how it would sound, it made a high, delightful peeping sound, rather than the soft, low, melodious sound of the larger, wider pipes he'd made. Then they had laughingly, lovingly, had sex together. Even after two hundred years, she still delighted in his company and his lovemaking....

Big Blue EyesChapter 35

I got dressed and left Sandy’s room and told Carol, what Sandy had asked for. She kissed me and I left them alone for a while, and went back to our room and fell asleep. Carol came back into our room about an hour later, with her pussy looking really abused by Sandy. I asked if she wanted to be fucked or not and she said ‘sure’ so I got on top of her and filled her with my dick and started a real fast fuck cumming only about five minutes after starting. I pulled out and she quickly put her...

You guys have the run of the basement, and we’ll be in the attic room.

She also ran her fingers through my hair and said, “You are Gaston – you can have any woman you want, but you want her – don’t you? Yeah – take that attitude and show us something.” I chuckled at the reversal. A couple of makeup ladies did their thing on me. Ralph, the Video Group leader, came up to me asking for a sound check, and I sang scales, “Me, me, me, me, me, me, me. me. me!” “Maurice, are you ready with ‘Me?’ I want your 200 please?” “Yessir,” Maurice said, turning on his...

A Flawed DiamondChapter 54

Brock wandered into the clubhouse the next morning and began to wonder if he'd taken a wrong turn. The blaring music and loud voices were nowhere to be found. The three dozen extraneous people who had littered the place the year before were gone, too. "Feels weird, doesn't it?" John Milton, the team's starting left fielder and leadoff hitter asked. "Feels nice," Brock rejoined. "It does," Milton replied. "And look, we can get to our lockers without wading through a crowd this...

Jake Hedron returned to Tomlin Security just in time to prevent its collapse and takeover by his mother and stepfather. After that, he was able, with the help of his true sister Jackie (who wasn't in the database with the rest of his family members) to offset the securities used by his mother in the underground city venture. So Walter Madigan never found out about his wife's misuse of his corporation, Solaris Construction and her misuse of his funds. Walter's experimental cancer treatment...

Chuck and LisaChapter 15

Sydney was almost a repeat of Melbourne, but we arrived on Sunday and spent Monday and Tuesday being tourists. Monday, we saw the old warehouses and barracks down by the water, where the original convicts came in. It's now a restaurant and gift shop area, so everyone was fitted out in a T-shirt with an aboriginal image on it. We saw the famous opera house on the harbor, with its view of the surrounding water, the beautiful steel arch bridge, and the mouth of the harbor in the distance,...

August 5, 1989 "Three years ago, almost to the day, in this very hall," I began, holding out my champagne glass, "the shoe was on the other foot. As many of you know, the groom here served as best man when I exchanged vows with my lovely wife. At our reception, Dave recited a toast that was hilariously funny and touchingly heartfelt at the same time. And I'm here to tell you all, it's gonna be hard for me to match it." I shot a wink at Inez, and then faced Dave, wearing a fake...

Lightning in a BottleChapter 73 Tragedy All Over Again

Author's note: This chapter deals exclusively with the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. I realize that there are certainly readers out there who suffered through the loss of a loved one on 9/11, or know someone who did. This chapter will probably be a bit intense for those in that situation. But as I said, chapter 73 deals with 9/11 and only 9/11. If you wish to skip over this chapter, you can feel comfortable going straight to the beginning of chapter 74, where I'll immediately...

My GirlsChapter 29

Victoria and I were ready to go to bed when I saw her eyes narrow and a thoughtful look cross her face. She grabbed her robe and put it on. "Come on, we have to go talk to Julie again," she said as she headed to the door. "What? Why? Let the poor girl get some sleep. Hell, let poor me get some sleep. We've had a long day, honey. I'm tired. Can't it wait until tomorrow?" I knew I was wasting my time. "She's not telling us everything. She's hiding something. We need to talk to her...

Barging into the room, were Stu, Princess and Jennifer, seeing us dressed with me on my phone in the wheelchair, packed and ready to go. Peter sent me a text. I let Honey ‘man’ my wheelchair as the ladies all giggled at the look on her face. Stuart understood what had happened and I saw him shaking his head in deference to me. My lap held my, Honora’s, and Jennifer’s bags as we all got to the bus together. Stu handed me a piece of paper, which I put in my shirt pocket because Peter had come...

Radiator Springs A Zansasi Highway AdventureChapter 9 Sightseeing Near and Far Away

I didn't head back home. The Map told me I still had eight days to get Sally back to The Highway, and I wanted her to see a few sights I really like before she left me. I headed us west into the Golden State, and then north to Yosemite. A week earlier I'd burned some mix CD's of driving music. I started out with East Bound and Down, my favorite drive-fast song, along with Wild Thing, which I remember from a movie where at trucker played it as he cleared out a bridge of blocking...

Time Frame: Week 10 — Tuesday Something was wrong as I felt myself waking up, but it didn't feel right, I could not tell you what was wrong, but my body didn't feel right, I could tell I wasn't in my own bed in fact, but I could not tell where I was. Finally, I managed to get my eyes open and found I was in a dark room with a little light coming in under a door. I was in a bed connected to machines so I surmised I was in a hospital. I laid there for a bit, trying to think. I could not...

After we got home, I changed into a swimsuit and practically jumped into the spa. Being that everyone else was of a like mind, within a half hour, I was joined by my entire C.A.S.K of ladies. Kalista came up to me and asked, in an alarmingly sexual tone, “Whatcha doin, Loverboy,” and she sat down on my lap, spreading herself out in a leisurely manner. “Well, Special K, you sexy lump of clay, you, I was looking at the final leg of our US SST tour.” I had my laptop on a stool...

CHARLES CLAIRE KALISTAChapter 37

My girls all came up to me wondering exactly what I was going to say. As usual, I said that I didn’t know yet, I’d planned to wing it. The cameraman was getting instructions through his earpiece and I got Claire and Kalista on either side me. He backed up a bit and gave me a 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1. The reporter handed me her mike, and I said, straight into the TV camera in front of me, “Ladies and Gentlemen, and kids of all ages, from the Pacific to the Atlantic. Welcome to the Columbus Mall, in...

Bill Sutherland 6 in STOPWATCHChapter 33

"Well! So much for secrecy!" Bill was looking right at Megan when he said it. Mina laughed, "She didn't do it ... you did." "Me? I never said a word." "No, Bill. You never said anything. I'm a History professor ... remember?" "What's that got to do with it?" "You've been careful ... except ... for these." Mina pulled a yellowing envelope from her home office desk. She opened it ... with a flair ... If there had have been a band, they would have played stripper music. As...

Just My LuckChapter 1

Before I get to my wreck of a life, I guess I need to give you my background. First of all, I was a late-in-life baby, my mother was fifty-two and my dad was fifty-five. My sister, Alice, was thirty-one and my brother, Dwayne, was thirty-five when I was born. Needless to say I was a surprise. My mother, Ruth Ann Rothman, thought she had already started the change of life when she stopped having periods at fifty-one. Before her next birthday the doctor confided in her that she was not just...

Wonders of American BackroadsChapter 4 Civil Rights

I was at a bit of a loss. Did this start out as the best year of all time or the worst? Of course, celebrating the New Year with Alice was an incredible blast. We might have no real future together, but there was no question that we both loved each other. Two weeks later, she was gone. There was no chance that we’d see each other until summer. We were both agreed that she needed to focus on school and that required her to be in Montana. I wandered around some, sort of following wherever Andy...

Bob s ProblemChapter 7

Time Frame: Week 17 - Wednesday When I woke up the next morning, Jerri was still lying on me. As I remember it, Jerri was straddling me when we came at the same time, them nothing until I woke up. I tried to roll her to the side without waking her, which didn't work. In fact, she beat me to the bathroom. Leaving the bathroom I found Cindy was in bed with Jerri. I gave them both a kiss and Cindy said, "I forgot to tell you that they are planning to let Aunt Alice out of the hospital on...

Will You Do This for Me Chapter 1

"Will you do this for me, Brother David?" I looked at my certifiably insane uncle and wondered what would happen if I said no. The problem with that was my mother had told me from the time I was small that my uncle was a holy man, especially beloved of God, a prophet and a saint, not to mention the only person who had helped her when she was in dire straits. "Please," she'd told me just before the cancer finally ran berserk through her body, "if Brother Jerome ever asks you for help,...

Searching Part three of the Brandt Family seriesChapter 10

“You made all of these arrangements yesterday morning?” Tyler asked. He saw Katie nodding her response before she verbalized it over their video call. As she had promised him last night, she had called him this morning as soon as she had gotten dressed and ready for her meeting with the owners of the vehicle she had hoped to buy. “Sure, but I had some help from my mom. While I was making arrangements with the sellers to show me the SSR, my mom started routing out my course back to California...

B la Book 5 New BeginningsChapter 11

“What do you mean ‘you can’t’?” Jake Hedron demanded. “Why can’t you? You are the only Femme who can handle mass teleportation!” “Not anymore,” Lisa said, almost whispering. “I have to rely on my own energy now. I’m no more able to do repetitive teleportation than any of the others. My body will starve just like their’s does!” “Why?” Jake cried. “What happened? And why now? We need you more than ever to get the Phoenix loaded. You were fine a week ago when you created the San Luis...

StonefingersChapter 2

The Gwinnett Braves were in the first series of an early-May homestand against the Durham Bulls, the triple-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays of the American League East. Tampa Bay was known for its solid pitching, and their AAA club was loaded with exceptionally good young pitchers eager to move up to the majors. They threw hard, showed a lot of confidence, and the starter I’d seen the day before, from my position on the bench, seemed to have a mean streak to go with his wild, inconsistent...

I Should Have Taken the Train Chapter 5

I was right about one thing. As expected, my conscience kicked into high gear when my husband showed up at the family get together five days after I arrived. Until I saw his face I was doing fine. I thought of Cory and our exciting bus ride almost constantly. But I didn’t feel guilty until I saw my husband’s face after his long trip and it finally began to sink in. I cheated on my husband. Boy! Did I ever! I didn’t say anything to him. I’m not that stupid. I didn’t bare my soul and beg for...

B la Book 2 PhoenixChapter 5

2073 a.d. Journey Sibilius was excited. The ship was arriving from Earth after once again filling its belly full of dirt, plants, water, grain and farm animals. It had been orbiting out toward Mars for the last seven months. Thousands of years ago, a disaster had occurred disabling their ship so that it was no longer able to move between stars. The heavy elements necessary to restore their star drive were not available in this solar system. Trapped with the local life forms, their...

B la Book 2 PhoenixChapter 21

The Payoff 2082 a.d. – A Week Later Epilogue The courier didn’t even read the sign, but knocked twice on the frosted glass door. He entered without waiting for a response, knowing he was expected. The strong scent of cigar smoke assaulted his nose and eyes as he stepped into the dimly lit room. Silhouetted by the curtained window, a large man sat at a desk. He raised his head to look at the approaching courier. The man behind the desk didn’t seem to be alarmed by the intrusion of...

Serendipity Version BravoChapter 15

There was a tightness to the atmosphere when I got back to the kitchen. I know that seems like a "Gee ... ya think?" kind of comment, but I want you to think about it like this. Imagine standing on the street, getting ready to cross, when with no notice, a car swerves around the corner and somebody starts shooting at you out of the window as it roars past. You don't get hit. Okay, now imagine the same scenario, but when that car roars around the corner, there is no shooter. Instead, the...

Ships in the NightChapter 2 Home and Hearth

It was still dark outside when Adam woke up. His diurnal rhythm had him up between five and six every morning, almost regardless of what time he went to bed. After being behind the wheel nearly all of the previous day, his body was screaming for exercise, so he dressed in sweats and sneakers and went for a run along the roadside. Willie was still out cold when he quietly pulled the motel room door closed. He stayed under the street lights so he could be seen by passing drivers. As he jogged...

Living Next Door to Heaven 257 Emmy

Dawn and I had a whispered conversation in which I reluctantly agreed to her idea. My head was reluctant. The rest of my body was pretty excited. She got all ten of the dormitory girls and took us all upstairs. As soon as we got the door shut, I had naked teens all over me. There was a lot of touching and squeezing. In a second, though I heard smacks and 'ow's as the girls quickly dispersed. Dawn was whacking bare butts and sending each of the girls to their beds. I had to laugh. She was...

Ships in the NightChapter 6 Harder Choices

Before seeking Margareta's wise counsel, Errol was determined to make Willie sit down with him and listen to his view of her rosy projection for their future. The dishes were in the washer, the pots and pans were clean and hanging from the rack, and the counters were all wiped down. He turned off the lights in the kitchen and wandered into the living room, thinking about how to begin the conversation and how to express his misgivings to her. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her...

Prototype TenChapter 11

Will and Tina sat in a Westwood Village coffee shop enjoying the first real coffee they had had for months. To passers by they looked like any couple enjoying their morning caffeine fix. Closer examination might have shown an unfocussed appearance to their eyes, if anyone bothered to notice. This was not surprising in light of the fact that their attention was several blocks away, doing a thorough scan of the FBI building on Wilshire. Will was searching for documents or computer screens that...

ConvergenceChapter 11 Tots

Syon Chao's mind emerged from his morning meditation with all the grace and beauty of a swan floating on a quiet, moonlit pond. Meditation had been the way he had solved difficult problems since his Grandfather had taught him how to meditate. He was very young, at the time, and the peaceful habit had formed the character behind the mind. The habit of meditating each morning helped resolve issues that had been left to the magic of sleep. Meditation also ensured his day would be productive, no...

ConvergenceChapter 14 Aliens

"The only fact we've determined, so far, is that they communicate at much lower frequencies than we do," the Science Officer mused aloud. If a human had been in the room, the human would not have heard the words. The alien's analogy to a human's voice box produced a sound so high that even Earth dogs would have to strain to hear it. The human wouldn't hear anything, but the human would see the face on the bulbous, leathery head contort as it spoke. The alien's thin body was leaning...

ConvergenceChapter 19 Sand in the Hourglass

Professor Bran Hawthorn silently cursed the delay caused by Building Security. He rubbed at his eyes, tiredly, waiting for the beep that meant he was allowed to enter the building. For the umpteenth time, he questioned his decision to take a sabbatical from Rice University to work in the Albuquerque labs. However, Kim said she needed him. Bran hadn’t been able to deny his niece anything since the day she was born. He snorted derisively at himself. “Beep,” the small speaker announced,...

DemiGodChapter 4 Power and Responsibility

To say that Gary was suitably impressed with Pauline was something of an understatement. After cheerleading practice the next day, Jake found her waiting docilely at the front steps of the school for her Master to pick her up. She got in his car without comment, knowing what service she was supposed to provide that night. Her demeanor was subdued, even pensive as they stopped at Gary's house and stepped inside, but she did not resist in any way. This was what her owner required of her, and...

My Life With My FatherChapter 8

Karol and I rehearsed our scenes, when we had a chance; at least all but 1-1 and 2-1, which both needed Phyllis. We were rehearsing Act 2 at the theatre this week, then going off to eat somewhere and do some improv, if we felt like. We have a week left before Hell Week, also known as Tech Week, which is what you call the final five days before opening night, in the theatre. You add costumes, makeup, set pieces along with lights and sound during this week. You stay later — you work to perfect...

Sword Saint a New StartChapter 12 Was that supposed to be a left turn at Albuquerque

We rode for two hours at a steady pace, and then I made us dismount and walk for an hour before we stopped to have an early lunch. Fresh baked bread and cheese with decent ale to wash it down, it was a very good meal. I asked Meri about her life up to now, and while reluctant to talk about it, she did go into light detail. It seems that her Papa was one of the slavers that I killed. She was brought up by her Aunt Virginia, a strict baker, while her Papa was off on raiding missions. A few...

SwapChapter 29

"Hi, Eric," my father said when I answered the phone. "I thought I'd check on you. I'm also calling to thank you. The accommodations you arranged for us are fantastic." "I'm happy you're enjoying yourself," I said. "Listen, before I called you, I called Detective Newman. Hobbs finally rolled over on the cooker. Robert Jones is under arrest and in custody, and we have nothing to fear from him. Newman says he's non-violent, a nerdy chemist, not a drug kingpin. Escalante was the...

Five PennsylsChapter 6

After first looking over to see Mom on her right side with her ear buds on, I went under the covers, pulling Annie’s panties off, and came up for air starting to kiss her. “I thought you were going to eat me out, Big Brother?” “I’d much rather fuck you so hard you can’t walk, my dear lover.” “Ooooh, I can’t wait!” she giggled. I almost wish this was our first time again, instead of our ... twenty-second. That’s a guess, but I know I love her, and I had never loved anyone before. Quietly,...

Thoughts Sensations and EmotionsChapter 8

As Jason was opening the door to our room, my cell phone jangled. It was buried in the depths of my large purse, a purse I'd started referring to as the Black Hole of Phoenix. Seemingly, whatever went into it could never be found again, including my cell phone. I hurried inside the room while digging around in the black hole for the phone, planning to dump the purse's contents on the bed to give me a visual reference for my search, when the phone stopped ringing. "Dad, most likely....

Ed BiggersChapter 13

The house was still under construction, but enough of it had been completed to see how it was laid out. Ed walked from where the living room would be to the kitchen and dining room. Trying to construct a mental image as he examined the layout, he decided that he liked it a lot. It would be a very nice house once it was finished. He turned to Mrs. Hayes who was still in the living room and said, “I like it.” With a little smile in his direction, Mrs. Hayes said, “Of all the plans the...

Second Time Through Book IIChapter 36 Grace s Return

Catherine, Vickie, Nicky, and Adriana were all waiting for me in the lounge of the Observation Car when I boarded. I noticed that the girls were still in their swimsuits with t-shirts, so I didn't bother to go and change. I noticed Izzy was standing there, looking kind of lost, so I invited her to join us. I made a mental note to check on sleeping arrangements for her when we finished. "Catherine, this is Miss Belinda Sue Miller, Esquire," I said. "Izzy, this is my grandmother, Mrs....

Second Time Through Book IIChapter 37 Amy s Dilemma

When I opened my eyes, I was lying in my berth. It was light outside, and my watch felt like it weighed two hundred pounds as I tried to lift it to see the time. I felt odd. I remembered the strength flowing out of me as I was overwhelmed with despair from causing Hanna's pain. But I didn't understand what had happened to me. "Welcome back," Anna told me. "How long," I rasped. "About thirty minutes," she said. "How do you feel?" "Weak." "Here. Drink this," she said. "Do...

Second Time Through Book IIChapter 39 Kathy Lynn Sunny

Catherine looked at me, trying hard not to laugh. Anna was grinning. While Penny, Karla, and Kip were used to our mental dialogues, they didn't catch the implication of what had just happened. I'm not sure about the three sisters; I still had a hard time with their thoughts since they were still thinking predominately in Haitian. The rest of the girls all looked from one to another, as they began to giggle. They had figured out what it meant. "Think something else, Michael. See if it was...

The Vampire s KissChapter 3 Virgin Blood

Abigail turned the sedan into the parking garage beneath Faust Tower in downtown Chicago. The sun's rays lightened the horizon. Fear rippled across her skin. The sun meant death. Its light was fire reduced to its most pure essence. And purity was deadly to a vampire. But Abigail didn't fear for her own safety. Dawn lay a few minutes away and already she had pulled the car into the sanctuary of the parking garage. The dark, man-made cavern was lit by the impure, flickering florescent...

GND 30Chapter 39

We checked in immediately, discovered that there was a projected general delay of twenty minutes, and joined the line to endure the attentions of the TSA. I’m way out of line here professionally – I should never be judgmental about lifestyle choices – but as I watched the TSA officers at work, I had to grin to myself about turning down Mom’s offer of some fresh zucchini to take home. I was sure some of these people wouldn’t know a zucchini from an eggplant. My informed guess was that maybe...

Bowling for HeartsChapter 37

We awoke to the phone ringing. It was my son calling. I asked him what time it was and he said it was seven AM, his time. "I'm glad you called, but why so early?" I asked. "I have a class at eight and you asked me to call you," he said. "Your sister's birthday is the Friday after next and I wanted to invite you out here." "I don't know if I'll be able to be there. I have tests that week and I don't know the exact schedule." "If you can, just use your credit card to book the...

Bowling for HeartsChapter 38

Tamara and Trish went on and on about the new Cadillac. I asked if anyone was hungry. They stopped chirping long enough to say yes. I suggested Trish get hold of Stephanie. Trish got off the phone with Steph and said she was good for the evening. Tamara suggested Italian food. Trish said okay as long as they had good margaritas. I said I know the place, Olive Garden. We got to the restaurant about five-fifteen. We were seated in the corner of the restaurant where we could watch the sunset....
