Human Contact

It's a Tuesday afternoon, a few weeks into the mass quarantine. I'm a divorced guy, and living alone I haven't had actual physical contact with a fellow human in a long time now. No handshakes. No hugs. No high-fives. No fist-bumps. No brushed shoulders. No accidentally bumping the cashier's hand when she hands me back my card. No nothing. At least I get to video-chat every day with my coworkers, friends and family, but that is no substitute for the real thing. Human bodies were meant...

Human Reproduction Ch 02

by Fidget Chapter 2 Six months later Megan was finally showing; her toned belly was starting to soften and swell as her body carried out its evolutionary programming. As it turned out, Mason had successfully impregnated the enticing nineteen year-old the first time he had lost control inside her fertile babymaker, but that hadn't stopped Megan's reproductive instincts from driving her to copulate with the willing young stud again and again over the next few months to ensure that the...

Human Pet Zoo

Human Pet ZooBy SarahPrologue: In the year 2020, Dictator for life Obama made it legal for girls over 21 to enter into voluntarily enslavement for the amusement of males. Soon after the protests died down, business professionals soon began to develop theme parks for girls interested in living the lifestyle to live in comfortably, or in any case, as comfortably as a slave girl could ask for. A new federal department was created, the department for human pet safety, which was tasked with...

Human Toilet Abduction

Human Toilet AbductionIt was well after 2 am when I finished work at the club and after waiting for almost 45 minutes to get a cab home because my car was at the mechanics I finally gave up and decided to walk home. It was dark and cold so my step quickened. All I wanted to do was get home, take a long hot shower, maybe check out some porn on the internet while I fucked myself with my thickest dildo riding up and down the super thick shaft on my office chair while I went to some of my most...

Humanoids

Nobody knows exactly where they came from, maybe they were mutants from the pollution of humanity or maybe they've always been around. Maybe this is Man's Hubris coming back to roost, maybe they're just a path of Evolution that was always there but never really discovered just from sheer dumb luck. Never officially, anyway. 1954, The Amazon. A scientific expedition takes a turn when Kay Lawrence, the group's ichthyologist and the only female in the group, is kidnapped by what was described by...

Human toilet training

Human toilet trainingTraining a toilet slave is in fact extremely difficult. It takes months and sometimes years to perfect for several reasons:1st and most obvious is taste and smell. It may take practice for your slave to adequately deal with the taste and smell of human excrement without gagging or throwing up.Your colon can serve your slave much more than his mouth can comfortably hold. In order for things to remain sanitary, you're slave will need to be able to swallow faster than it comes...

It was well after 9:00PM when I finally returned from work. I was exhausted mentally, which was definitely affecting me physically. But I had much preferred to stay rather late on a Friday evening than go to work for a few hours on a Saturday morning. Still, I felt less than human when I walked in the front door. Clearly, I had missed dinner, and the snacks I had bought from a vending machine at work would not last me much longer. If my fiancée had cooked dinner, she had already put away...

Human Resources by Cindy V. May 2000 It was about 8 pm on a Saturday night, as I cursed the computer because my spreadsheet formula was wrong. Yes, another Saturday night at the office in downtown Manhattan. Why was I there? For one thing, because I had no social life at the moment. But for another, because there was too much work to do, and because the damn Human Resources department was dragging its feet as usual on finding me an assistant. Sorry, but I...

Human Reproduction Ch 01

by Fidget Chapter 1 Dr. Jeff was trying to finish wiring his new device before his Intro to Bio class started, but it was starting to look pretty unlikely. As a molecular biologist, designing machines to improve concentration wasn't really his field (and to be honest, he was fairly certain he wasn't supposed to be using university equipment for personal projects either), but some amateur research into the effects of certain frequencies of sound on the human brain had led to a few...

Human Toilet at the Club Pt 04

Chapter 8 I have only been a toilet for a few hours, but time moves slower when you have shit in your mouth. Ms. Stone's diarrhea was brutal. I felt shell-shocked, and was convinced the shit inside me was eating away at my brain. It's as if I'm turning into a real toilet, losing my humanity one shit at a time. I had no dignity left. I entered this club with the hope of seeing my ex-girlfriend Lauren. But the reality is inescapable, the only human connection I can expect is having my lips...

Human Toilet at the Club Pt 1

“Finishing high school should make me want to celebrate, but I feel like shit,” I thought to myself. My girlfriend Lauren had broken up with me. She was the head cheerleader and the most popular girl in school. I was so madly in love with her, but she thought I was a loser. She only liked me because I was one of the first kids to get a car. I would drive her and her girlfriends around, and they would pretend to be nice to me. After dropping them off at club events, I would hear them laughing...

Human ManChapter 35

Sunlight streamed into the bedroom. Scott woke from a warm, foggy dream. He stiffened at the presence of another body in the bed, but memories of the night came flooding back and he relaxed. Janie was on her stomach, sleeping. He pressed his lips to her shoulder and rolled out of bed. She groaned, "No ... come back." "Sun's up and so am I." Janie covered her head with a pillow. "I'm going to work out, you can sleep in." The only response was a muffled, "Barbarian." Scott...

He'd fallen asleep on the couch again. Jobe was licking his face. "Okay, okay! I'm awake," Scott laughed pushing the dog away. He stopped. He was in the old garage apartment. Surrounding him was the right furniture, the stereo, the rug exactly as he remembered. He dropped his hand to Jobe's head. The big shepherd licked his hand. Jobe was real, the couch he was sitting on was real, but the flat screen TV hung suspended in midair. Where there should have been walls and a ceiling was...

***** Chapter 6 I couldn't think straight. The dildo in my ass was stretching me out. My ass burned from its size, holding me open and filling me. But, what was worse than the dildo was my sister's shit. It had taken over my senses. It's all I could smell, taste, feel, and think about. I spent the next 10 minutes trying to hold the turd down. If I threw it up, I would have to swallow it down again—or otherwise drown. As much as drowning had its appeal, a small part of me liked what was...

It was surprising how quickly it had come about. They had returned from Easton City and Gilbert had parked behind BattleLines VideoChallenge, as usual. What was not usual was that Brynn eventually found his smaller hand under the man’s bigger one and the older man masturbating himself to orgasm. Brynn had neither permitted nor protested the act. He didn’t understand his acquiescence, but as he began sorting through things, it seemed: He wanted to be with the man,...

Eight years later, Fort Stockton Middle School At the back of the classroom Scott held a book open on his desk. The student seated at the head of his row was reading aloud.

Having English right after lunch was bad enough, but this was bordering on cruel and inhuman. The revolt started when the student right in front of Scott...

Monday, August 11th, 2008 In the six months since the shutdown of Broken Creek, life had been a series of ups and downs. Scott found that he missed Mr. Piotrowski more the longer he was gone. There were friends he could talk to, but none of them had the same ability to look to the heart of a problem and ferret out the right bit of wisdom. He'd come to something of a crossroads, and he had a big decision to make about the future. Honour looked at Scott over her notepad and frowned at him....

He was a sucker for the Christmas season and Levall did the holiday right. Downtown had a lighting program for the trees. Stores decorated their windows and the streetlights sported various holiday figures on brackets. Scott spent a ridiculous amount on strings of lights to surround his windows. Maybe the ridiculous thing was how much pleasure he got out of watching the light patterns. He bought a small tree because a big one felt desperate. Next door, the Black Horse was doing gangbuster...

History 303, History of the Roman Empire, was not well attended, but that meant plenty of available seats. Scott nodded to a classmate and dropped his backpack beside his chair. At six weeks in, with ten to go, the original enrollment of twenty-five students had dwindled by half. He thought it was a good class, but the professor was notoriously tough. His phone chirped with a text message and Scott scrambled to silence it. One guaranteed way to get on the professor's bad side was to get...

He sat politely while she patted his nose. "I thought it was a nice service," Mrs. Monroe said. "It won't be the same without him around." "No, it won't," Scott agreed. "I thought it was a good turn out." Mrs....

The evening with Art and Lisa gave Scott a lot to think about as he drove out of Denver. Before the meal was over, Art expressed his surprise that Scott had gotten out and hadn't gone for an officer's commission. "It came so easy to you. We could all see that," Art had said. Scott had entered the Marines a grade ahead of his peers thanks to college credits. He made corporal at the end of his first Afghanistan tour, and sergeant before he deployed for the second. Their captain had...

Human ManChapter 5

Scott beat the sun out of Levall. He wanted to be in Midland before lunch and home to Fort Stockton by early afternoon. The GPS in the Jeep said it was a three-hundred mile trip, but for Scott it was like running downhill, effortless as he sped toward home. West of Abilene he picked up Interstate 20 and hit cruise control. He hit Midland shortly before ten. Midland was a city that drifted from boom to bust with the energy sector, oil in particular, and times were good once again. His...

Human ManChapter 6

State Highway 18 South took Scott into Pecos County. He drove on autopilot. The flat land of the Permian Basin changed to the low hills and miniature mesas common to the area. Occasional clusters of bobbing pumpjacks, extracting West Texas crude with each nod, were the only company on the empty road while a cloudless blue sky stretched overhead. Scott had tried, but failed to understand how people lived in large metropolises. Living like animals packed one on top of the other was no way to...

Human ManChapter 7

Scott parked on the street in front of Ed's rental house. He knew the area, but couldn't remember anybody who had lived on the street. The homes were mostly simple shotgun shacks, on the older side of town. He opened the SUV's rear door and let Jobe out. The dog looked toward the house and lifted his nose, testing the air. The screen door squealed open and Ed Mendoza, his best friend, held two bottles of beer. "Home is the conquering hero!" Scott met Ed on the porch and accepted a...

Human ManChapter 8

The extended stay hotel suite smelled faintly of pine. Some cleaning product, Scott thought. He plugged his laptop in and spread the property section of the Levall Daily Register across the kitchenette table. The suite had a small kitchen and combination breakfast nook, as well as a sitting area, work desk, and basic bedroom. He paid for a month with an option to extend. Levall had an active housing market, mostly oriented toward the student population, but active nonetheless. He noted...

Human ManChapter 9

Scott woke covered in sweat. The old dream of being buried alive with the spiders had mixed with memories of Afghanistan. He splashed water on his face from the hotel suite's bathroom sink and tried to clear his head. He needed a good long run. Scott drove to campus. He didn't have a student identification card, yet, but doubted anybody bothered to check at the outdoor track. The streets were empty with the sun still a half hour from making an appearance. He parked at the student athletic...

Human ManChapter 10

Simone texted him shortly after ten, he was needed at the bank to sign papers. Scott walked through the bank's front door thirty minutes later. After a quick inquiry, he was directed to a conference room. Simone nodded to him as he entered the room. The bank people were at one end, Simone at the other. She was wearing a dark ensemble with a string of white pearls around her neck. The fun flirty woman he'd come to know the previous night was gone, replaced by professional aplomb. "Good...

Human ManChapter 11

His first weeks as a 'big time' property owner had gone smoothly. An inspection by the Western Group property team hadn't turned up any major surprises. He never saw them. They'd been in and out before he even knew the inspection was happening. Scott grabbed a towel from his bag and wiped the sweat from his face. The student gym on campus had a great weight room. He'd purchased a mountain bike and was commuting from the extended stay suite to campus for workouts four days a week. The...

Human ManChapter 13

The five-member team of auditors and lawyers from the Western Group descended on Levall like a small swarm of locusts. Simone Engdale was not among them. A new bookkeeper, accountant, and local business lawyer were hired while the old bank accounts were closed. The Black Horse stayed dark for three weeks and Shirl thrived as the new manager. She had a new haircut and a can-do attitude. Scott saw her every couple of days to stay involved and show his support. Shirl purged the bar payroll,...

Human ManChapter 14

Midway through July, the second summer semester was in session and Scott had a regular schedule again. He biked to campus. Worked out, hit the library to study, attended class, and either headed back to the hotel suite or visited the Black Horse. He'd had a crazy notion to drop the second summer semester and try to get hired on as a day laborer, working on his own building. When he mentioned the idea to Everett Wahl in passing, the private banker had laughed. Scott had to be content with...

Human ManChapter 15

With a break before the start of the fall semester, Scott took the opportunity to hop in the Grand Cherokee and head to Fort Stockton. He'd thought about staying in Levall, but was feeling a little stir crazy. His contractor was taking advantage of the school break to close off Twelfth Street so they could crane timbers through the second and third-story windows of his future home. The salvaged heart pine came out of a nineteenth century industrial building in Oregon. The delivery was going...

Human ManChapter 16

Scott put the transmission in park and got out of the SUV. The private entrance to the old Lewis Sportsman Ranch brought back memories. Twin stone columns of native rock supported a steel sign curving overhead. He'd seen it when the sign was new. Since then, the sign had served as a target. Bullet holes and pellet marks decorated the rusting sign. The 'Lewis' name had borne the brunt of the damage. If the locals couldn't take their ire out on the man, they could vent their anger against...

Human ManChapter 17

The orange door to the climate controlled storage locker rolled back with a bang. Scott turned on the light and memories came flooding back. The pieces that had populated his teenage years didn't require much room. His first apartment's furniture was wrapped and covered with blankets. In the far corner, the Yamaha motorcycle was carefully stored away. Between were boxes, but for so little it sure took up a lot of room in his heart. Joseph Black had a second key for the locker. During...

Human ManChapter 18

Scott chose Texas highway 208 north of Snyder for the trip back to Levall. The highway was an undulating two-lane road that ran through the low hills. Small scrub trees and the ever-present pump jacks dotted the land. He was in a good mood. Lunch with the group from client services had been a light, but informative affair. The employees had great insight into the function of client services and the Western Group. Scott was still the firm's youngest client by at least two decades. If...

Human ManChapter 19

The Black Horse had new bracket sign hanging from a perpendicular piece of wrought-iron armature above the front door that read, 'The Black Horse, ' and in script beneath, 'Pub & Restaurant.' Scott sat at the bar listening to Shirl talk about the sign and her preparation for the grand reopening. The bar was in a lull, between the late-lunch crowd and happy hour. Shirl was ticking off points from a sheet of paper. Scott mostly listened and nodded. The grand opening for the...

Human ManChapter 20

The Student Union at NTSU was a good place to sit between classes. The burble from the students passing through was like white noise. Scott concentrated on his computer tablet while sipping coffee from a paper cup. Amanda, the Black Horse waitress, dropped into the seat across from him. "You're not in any of my business classes," she said. He put the pad down, "Because I'm not a business major. I'm leaning toward history." "What's your favorite class so far?" "A seminar on the...

Human ManChapter 21

September turned to October and the city of Levall was celebrating its first official Oktoberfest. For reasons that Scott didn't understand, the city had historically avoided the fall festival popular with Texas's many German enclaves. Instead, the city held a very successful Jazz Festival in the spring. The Jazz Fest wasn't going away, but the embrace of Oktoberfest was a welcome boon to downtown businesses and the student population of NTSU. The Black Horse was enjoying the celebration...

Human ManChapter 22

Scott was having coffee and a pleasant conversation with Connie. She was asking about Levall, when the wayward Mendoza daughter stumbled into the kitchen. Janie's hair was frizzy, and she was wearing an old nightshirt over pajama bottoms several sizes too small. "You're alive," her mother said. "I don't feel like it," Janie grumbled. Hair covered the young woman's face and she didn't look up. She moved like an automaton to the coffee machine, grabbed a mug from the cupboard and...

Human ManChapter 23

Thanksgiving break arrived before Scott was ready. He was biking from campus to his building. The last class before the short holiday break was over and his thoughts were on Fort Stockton. He begged off invitations home, and claimed that he was going to spend the holiday in Denver with Art and his girlfriend. He hated to lie, but the situation with Janie was confusing. They traded regular e-mails, and played phone or text tag several times a week. Janie told him about her plans to take the...

Human ManChapter 24

He rolled out of bed and stood. At first, the unfamiliar surroundings threw him. His brain caught up with his body, he was in the new place. His feet padded across the floor. The shower started with the touch of a button. The shower stall was large enough to hold group meetings in, but he didn't regret it as hot water from multiple nozzles pounded his shoulders. Extravagance was on his mind. The building was certainly a big one. Having the space pleased him, pleased his need for room to...

Human ManChapter 25

The heavy bag swayed from the power of his last punch. Scott removed the gloves and examined his knuckles. Even with sparring gloves, the skin didn't have the toughness it used to. He watched as the split skin healed. Another couple of weeks at the bag and that wouldn't happen anymore. The healing was something he could only stop with specific thoughts. He'd forgotten in Afghanistan. The slip had nearly exposed him. Only a painful reversal of his rapidly healing wounds kept the medics...

Human ManChapter 27

The Holiday Inn at Fort Stockton was new. The only available room was a suite. Scott took it without complaint and found it cleaner than the last hotel room he'd stayed in. He felt a little lost. Joseph and Honour had taken the kids, and Jobe, to visit one of their parents for the holiday. Judge Upcott, his wife Bea, Sheriff King, and his lady friend were in Montana. Scott was contemplating a nap when the cell phone rang. He answered it without checking the name because he had a good idea...

Human ManChapter 28

Scott had the windows down, despite the freezing temperatures, to help clear the evidence of Ed's passage the previous night. He arrived outside the Mendoza home at two on the dot. Fewer cars were present than the day before. He found Mrs. Mendoza, Connie he mentally corrected himself and a woman he recognized as one of her sisters, in the kitchen. "There you are," Connie said. "Luisa dropped by with your costume." She pointed to the ensemble hanging over the back of a chair....

Human ManChapter 29

One of many things Scott disliked about hotels was that the showerheads were usually at neck level. For a second, he considered ripping the offending piece of pipe from the wall to hold at the proper height. As he toweled his hair dry in front of the bathroom mirror, he analyzed his feelings. He wasn't really angry, he decided. He was nervous. The relationship with Janie was out in the open. Openness went against his natural instincts. He recognized that it was a serious character defect,...

Human ManChapter 30

The building in Levall felt empty as Scott scrolled through his digital music catalog. The selector landed on Alison Krauss. He'd been a big fan since Mr. Piotrowski had introduced him to her music. She had a remarkable voice and it filled the air around him. The tones were rich and acoustically perfect, but he expected nothing less from the stereo system and speakers networked across three floors. Music had always been a refuge, but it couldn't replace the empty gaps in his life. He put...

Human ManChapter 31

Classes didn't start until mid-January, and by then the residents of Levall had settled into the long slog of winter. The post holiday blues affected everyone, and business at the Black Horse was off its peak. Scott was laying into the heavy bag in the gym when his cell phone rang. "I'm at the gate," Taylor announced. "Be right out," he said. Scott jogged across the courtyard in his workout shorts and t-shirt. "You're going to catch a cold," She said. He unlocked the fence gate...

Human ManChapter 33

The midterm paper was due in an hour. Scott skimmed the text, looking for typos. All he needed to do was print it, bike to campus, and slip the paper in the basket outside the professor's office door. After that, he could start packing for the drive to Fort Stockton and Spring Break. His phone chirped and he checked the text from Janie. 'You home? I'll call.' 'Home, ' he typed. 'Have 2 drop paper at campus. B on road shortly after.' He verified that the printer had paper and was...

Human ManChapter 34

The downstairs portion of the Black Horse was crowded, more crowded than Scott had ever seen it. Canned music was playing over the speakers as the crowd milled about. On the temporary stage, the drum set and instruments were waiting for the musicians. Scott recognized a classic Hammond B3 Organ that somebody had managed to shoehorn onto the riser. He wondered what the organ was like to move from gig to gig. Scott did his best to keep Janie from being jostled by the crowd, but it was hard...

Human ManChapter 36

After a lazy but enjoyable Sunday, they got an early start Monday morning. Janie was excited about the trip, telling him all the places she'd gone to in Dallas while at Southern Methodist University. She wasn't paying attention as Scott drove to the municipal airport. He found the right hanger and parked. "What are we doing here?" Janie asked. "Where?" "This airport!" "I thought you wanted to go to Dallas?" He got out and went around to her door. "Your chariot awaits." She...

Human ManChapter 37

After Dallas, all Scott wanted was a quiet day or two to relax. Janie insisted on grocery shopping the next morning. Her plans to cook a big meal also necessitated a quick trip to the mall for a pasta strainer and other utensils he didn't have. Working in the kitchen together felt right. Janie had him chopping vegetables. The sounds of life filled the building and it was strange to open the refrigerator and find it full. They ate at the kitchen island with a stack of Aston Martin...

Human ManChapter 38

Scott hit the heavy bag and gym equipment hard the week after Spring Break. The routine was comforting because the workouts were something he had complete control over. He set a punishing pace and dropped eight pounds. Any softness left in his body burned away. After a particularly brutal workout, he climbed the stairs to the roof deck. With warmer weather approaching, the unfinished deck was on his mind. The 'interior' designer and his architect had sketched a vision of the roof as a...
