The Grim ReaperChapter 68 Television

I knew what the citation said; whether I believed it was a different question. It didn’t matter much. I stood there, kept my mouth shut, and looked straight ahead. The President put the ribbon around my neck, and everybody saluted and applauded. He gave me a whispered, ‘At ease.’, and I was able to break position and shake his hand in thanks. That was the end of the official ceremony, and it was time for a meet-and-greet. Mister and Mrs. Obama escorted me down off the stage and over to where...

The Grim ReaperChapter 69 Going Home

That was basically the end of the craziness. From Chicago we flew home for a long weekend. Monday, we flew back to New York, and I went on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which proved interesting. Stewart was on the liberal side of the spectrum, but he always showed a lot of respect to the soldiers even as he crucified the politicians who got us into Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of the interview was the standard questions, but at the end he asked me something nobody else had asked. Stewart:...

The EnablerChapter 8

Eleven years and a few months had passed since the day Judy had been murdered. A lot will happen in that amount of time. Elderly die, children are born, and people marry. Life goes on. Nothing stays the same. Paul and his wife, Kim, had driven four thousand miles in a loop, seeing the sights at the rate of hundred and fifty miles a day. They had been on the road for a month. There was a lot of the country to see, and they were in no rush. Paul had come to the conclusion that this was the...

BreeChapter 8 The Reunion

Kelly, Cindy, Katie and Kate had been extremely close friends since the first years of elementary school - one guy (Kelly) and three girls, with the exception of Kate whom Kelly had known since the first day of kindergarten and actually lived on the same block. All four attended the same elementary, junior high and high schools and even college. Ever since childhood, the four always preferred being together and doing things together the majority of time rather than with others despite their...

Recluse and GhostChapter 28

The house was cold when I woke up and discovered the fireplace in the bedroom had burned out. I stuffed a log and some kindling in and restarted the fire. There were still embers in the living room fireplace, but it needed a couple of logs. I quickly scooped the ashes into the ash bucket before wanting to go back to bed. The clock on the wall said it was almost five, so I decided to just stay up. The dogs usually wanted out right away, but they looked at me funny and stuck their heads back...

Teacher s NightmareChapter 12

I tried to get my life back to normal. Still suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, I was easily rattled, had recurring nightmares, and was always afraid. You'd think with my tormentors out of harm's reach the PTSD would go away -- but it didn't. My therapist told me to remember what it was like not to be afraid. The only images that surfaced were being with Angelo. What an apropos name! He was my angel, my guardian angel. He saved my life. He got rid of my demons. I felt safe with...

Kicking and ScreamingChapter 6

I was minding my own business in my wing of the manse, eating lunch with Consuela, my dear wife, when I heard someone enter my part of the residence. The lock had been picked, though how I didn’t know, and someone, namely Jill, just walked into my presence. I was very grim at this sight, deeming it a serious breach of my boundaries for her to enter my home without even knocking, but I also knew that something major was up. I had to get to the bottom of it. “So ... I talked to Karen ... and I...

Carrying the FlagChapter 7 Hadiya Naked in School

Sunday is a quiet day in our house. No radio, no TV, no phone, no computer. Cha even turns off the answering machine. Speak low if you speak at all. It's his day to meditate. He follows the religion of his ancestors, a mix of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. And if that's not confusing enough, Me tells me each Vietnamese village has its own variation. The main thing is devotion to thần, which are sort of like spirits or gods. Or maybe they're ghosts of ancestors. I think you have to...

A Well Lived Life 2 Book 1 BethanyChapter 27 Fuck Them

September 15, 1986, Chicago, Illinois “When is Bethany moving in?” I asked Stephanie as we ate breakfast with Kara and Jessica. “In a couple of weeks,” she answered. “And you’re really OK with sharing a room with her?” “Yes. Jorge was a bit put out, but I explained everything to him and we’ll work it out. There’s always a guest room if I have an overnight guest!” “True. I really appreciate you doing this,” I said. “I don’t think it’ll be for too long.” “Oh?” “She and Nick. I’ll bet...

The BootleggerChapter 26

I made a long entry into my journal. I outlined what my plans were, but I was very vague. When I finished I went to bed. I wasn’t expecting company after midnight, so when my beeper alarm went off, I crawled out of bed and over to the double barrel shotgun. Out the door I saw the four headlights. The thing in my yard was probably a truck or and SUV. Somebody had to make a move, but it didn’t have to be me. I took a deep breath and reset my body’s alarm clock. I was on high alert because I...

Carrying the FlagChapter 12 Judy Flies

Devers was as stone-faced as Shakespeare’s bust on the shelf behind her, maybe more. Willie was wearing the clown nose and hat I’d left with her. It kinda gave him a rakish look, and was that a smile on his face? It felt like all that had happened a long, long time ago. Devers looked older, and tired. I heard she’d passed up promotion to principal because she didn’t want to lose contact with us students. I wondered if she was regretting that. “Suppose you tell me what happened in that...

Semper FiChapter 13 The Realizations

Denver turned out to be a dense hub of civilization compared to other places they'd seen along the way. Granted, they had generally avoided cities and towns, preferring to do as little as possible to draw attention to themselves. There'd been more cars closer to Colorado and the blurry borders between Free America and the Chicago-based United States, and they'd been able to catch rides the last hundred miles into the city. There were only a few military checkpoints, and they were largely...

The Great Eviction Event Unfolds Chapter 5

Charlie/Charlotte-2 Friday, December 12, 2014, 10:22 pm Charlie left the U-Haul to lie on its side and burn gas until it ran dry. He’d hook a tow cable to the rear bumper in a few days and drag it clear of the intersection, allowing access to Old Airport Road, but that action lay in the future. Right now, he had to get home. Withdrawing his cell phone again, he thumbed mom’s preset and put the phone to his ear. He needed to hear his mother’s voice. He needed to know this insane idea that he...

Lost EmpireChapter 19

Derrick kept watch over Kimison as Mary started his treatment. Derrick knew all too well what was needed to break the hold that all the fear and pain held on him. She was barely into the start of the procedure when Derrick felt him tense up; looking up a moment later she motioned me close. "I am afraid that I have need of your help sire his mind is as strong as yours it will require two energies to break the hold of the paranoia that has a hold on him." I nodded as I moved closer, "Lie...

Over the Hills and Faraway Book 4 Soldiering OnChapter 18 Mirror Lake and Dawn on Still Waters

The horse I rode into the mountains was called 'Peggy', short for Pegasus, which was quite appropriate as it was the name of the flying horse on the Parachute Regiment's badge. Peggy was a docile comfortable mount, and over time must have been ridden by many inexperienced riders, as she didn't rear or buck, not that we met anything that would cause her to do any of those things, but of course horses have a habit of seeing and hearing things that humans don't. As we rode Eddy told me...

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 15 Recuperation

Monday, September 26, 2022 Monday was a busy day. I bundled the kids off to school and then called Matucket State. While I didn’t go into details, I had to let her Department Vice-Chair know she was going to be away from work for a week or two. I didn’t know who to call at DARPA or the NSA, but Kelly didn’t talk to them daily anyway; she could handle that chore. Then I drove over to the hospital. By all accounts, I would be able to bring her home that day. First, though, she needed to be...

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 16 Moving Forward

Fall 2022 to Spring 2023 I was beat when I got home Sunday night. I’d been living out of a suitcase and eating fast food while traveling in a taxi for almost two weeks. I just wanted to decompress and get to know my wife and kids again. When I got home, Kelly waved the pink canoe at me and told me it was my turn to paddle, and that I had fallen behind and needed to catch up. I snorted out a laugh, which made Riley and Seamus curious. I dumped them on their mother, who just told them it was a...

Valkyrie Don t CryChapter 12

Do Androids Dream of Robotics Sheep Before They Go To Sleep? “I think we’ve pretty well established that the Agency are robots, impersonating people. They might be androids, or even some kind of alien cyborg devices, but I personally doubt it. As it is they have left nothing behind to identify them with.” Max stated the obvious to his audience before sitting back down. Several weeks had gone by and we were no closer to locating the Agency than before. They had simply vanished as far as...

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 23 A Year of Death

2024 I was meeting with the staff at the academy in Forsyth when I got the call. It was Wednesday, January 17. We were talking about scheduling lectures on PTSD, mental illness, and use of force, and developing dates for the next few months. I had my phone on vibrate out of courtesy; my business line routed to my cell phone, and I didn’t want to be taking a call from one client while talking to another. The phone was in my shirt pocket and began vibrating. I ignored it and kept working, but...

Stewart s Second MissionChapter 8 PTSD

“ ... but George, are you sure that you are using the resource represented by Lieutenant Steward wisely?” said the left-most talking head on the screen. “We in the Fleet feel that he’s showed great initiative in some pretty fucked-up situations. We need to conserve that kind of resource.” The other heads nodded in agreement. Roff’s anger flared as he responded to the officer on the screen who was his nominal boss. “He is showing you what he’s capable of because I threw him into situations...

The Grim Reaper Reaper Security ConsultingChapter 36 School Days

I went into the station the next morning at 0730. I figured I would go in early and see the shift changes and roll calls for a bit to get a feel for things from the bottom up. After roll call, I headed back to my office, only to get stopped by Mindy Hollis. She dragged me back outside to the department parking lot and over to the corner it shared with the impound yard. “This is where we should build a storage annex,” she said. “Why here? In this corner?” “It’s the best choice. It’s inside...

Replacement TherapyChapter 4 The Haunted and the Hunted

By the beginning of June, I was pronounced fit by my doctor. I wasn't actually. I had been so careful not to overdo anything, that my real fitness was sadly lacking. But Yolanda had a plan, and when Yolanda wanted me to follow her plan, I had no intention of denying her. We started off with aggressive walks in the morning and after supper. They were an hour long and with the warm weather now bordering on hot some days, I was really feeling the stress of these workouts. She would drop the...

Maxine Stone s New LifeChapter 47 Jen and Max

"So where do we start?" Mike asked. "I guess we start with the person who knows her best," Gwen replied, "That would be Jennifer the lawyer?" Mike asked. "Jennifer is her oldest and dearest friend or so she says, so I guess we start with her." "Can we finish this soon? So we can get out of this crappy motel?" Mike asked. "You are just filled with questions aren't you?" "Now you are doing it, asking questions that is," Mike replied. "Okay, I'll set up the appointment,...

Life on Another PlanetChapter 2 A New Beginning

Wednesday, July 13, 2011 10am The following day, Eve found Jesse in the small lounge they had shared when she first interviewed him. He was glued to the television, watching the all-news channel once more. He appeared to be concentrating on everything he saw, a look of confusion occasionally replaced by a look of recognition. “Good morning,” she smiled as she closed the door behind her. “How did you sleep?” “Not very well. My brain was going full blast and I couldn’t shut it off.” Not...

Steve and Chuck Go SailingChapter 25

Steve I was up early, as usual, sitting in the parlor on one of the fixed stools at the bar in the suite. You know how it is; waiting for coffee to brew can seem like an eternity when you don't want to sit there and wait. There was no place else to go and nothing else to do. If I went out to the patio, I would just have to come back in. If I went back into the room, I would probably disturb someone. Wonder why I can never sleep late? Only on rare occasions can I sleep until seven or eight....

MILFChapter 6

I talked to Val a lot about her work. That was for two reasons. One, I didn’t want to talk about me. The only things I could talk about were my trials and tribulations, and I didn’t want to dwell on them. And she needed to vent about her own trials and tribulations, at work. Just as Vlad and physical therapy and learning to walk consumed all of my days, her job consumed all of her days. If she wasn’t working (or visiting me) she was asleep. She didn’t even have my old TV hooked up and plugged...

The SparkChapter 16

After a week off with no exercise as I traveled with the team over spring break along with the aftermath of the accident, I was ready to get back into my normal morning routine running to school. The problem was that the accident became a small national story, a bigger regional story and unfortunately with five dead including two students out of one town and one high school the news was devastating. Rounding the hill that shielded the house I found out how big the story was as I could see a...

The Grim Reaper Adventures in Southern Law EnforcementChapter 16 Threat Assessment

I stared at Hughes and Delahoye in disbelief, even as the brass started asking questions. “That is simply crazy. Why in the world would international terrorists want to kill a small-town cop?” Around us the rest of the captains and lieutenants kept asking questions. The Chief waved them to silence and said, “They are right. This makes no sense. Who would want to kill Sergeant Reaper? Aside from the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team, I mean?” It was Delahoye that answered. “We are not making this...

Maxine Stone s New LifeChapter 148 Not Again

When I awoke, it was in a room with no windows, but it was uncomfortably bright. That told me that it was a hospital of some kind. I somehow knew, without any reason, that the walls were metal. That put me somewhere, inside someone's ship. I had no idea what country owned the ship, but I hoped that it was a US Navy ship of the line, or if not, at least a European Navy ship. I did not want to be aboard the ship of an African or Arab nation. I found a call button, attached to the small hard...

The Rescue of HMS BeverlyChapter 10 Sally s Issues

I woke up at 6:30 am the next day ... no it was not a dream. There were 9 naked women around me. The shower was running in the bathroom. I slowly got out of bed. I had a bunch of stiff parts including the most obvious one. Naked women running around the bedroom does that to guys. There were at least two hair driers running in the bathroom (the bathroom is equipped for four people to prepare themselves at the same time, including a four person shower). Julie, still naked, came over when...

Dagmar s DiaryChapter 2

After she was processed out of the city lockup, I drove Aunt Margie home and escorted her into her house with my arm around her shoulder. I got her settled on the couch and asked, “Can I fix you some tea, Aunt Margie. Or I’d be happy to make you a snack, if you’re hungry.” “Thanks, but no, sweetheart. You’ve done enough. I think I just need a little nap right now. It’s been such a stressful day.” “Of course, Aunt Margie. You get some rest now while I track down those boys and try to get...

The McKenzie CaseChapter 4

Tiny and I were lying in my bed, tired and sweaty, after our celebratory fuck. It didn’t hurt so much as usual. Perhaps I was stretching to accommodate him. “Do you think my breasts are too small?” I asked. “No, they’re perfect,” he replied, a little too quickly for my liking. “But what about Mrs McKenzie’s breasts? They’re spectacular. Surely all men prefer them that size.” “On your frame they’d look grotesque. Besides, yours are delightfully sensitive.” With a gentleness that belied...

An Incest BirthdayChapter 31

(RANDY) “WHAT. THE FUCK. IS THIS!” We both stood there horrified as dad held the picture of us in his hands. It looked as if the frame was going to crumble into a million pieces any second. He never took his eyes off of us the whole time he was waiting for an answer, and we were too scared to give him one. I’ve never, I mean never, seen dad this angry, there was no way in hell we’d be able to talk our way out of this one, at least an still be in one piece. “I’M WAITING! WHAT THE FUCK IS...

Jason s TaleChapter 2 Through the Looking Glass

When I got there Eric let me in, handed me a drink, and led me to a home office setup. Once we got comfortable, he started in. “I’ve talked to a couple of the people you served with in Afghanistan. One of the officers, when he heard that your wife had died, said that you actually had been in combat, but refused to admit it because you didn’t want your wife to know. He gave me some other names and I’ve gotten emails from a couple of them. You should have gotten a Purple Heart and at least a...

Don t Sleep in the SubwayChapter 27

All of a sudden, we had come to a halt that was neither planned nor necessary for any logical reason on God’s green earth. It just seemed to come about because some of the women decided it was a good time to clean the wagons and their clothes and take advantage of the plentiful game and other bounties of nature ripe for the picking by our battered company of weary souls. Since I was in charge, I obviously could have called a stop to this unexpected development, but I allowed it to play out...

SargeChapter 12

The five of us went into dinner at the same time. We left the protection of the castle to the general’s army. No I hadn’t seen it, but I was sure it was there. It wouldn’t be as large as the one he had commanded during the troubles, but it would be even more fanatical. I would be hidden in his castle, or in the woods around it. When we entered the formal dinning room, there were six people seated at a table which could seat at least fifty people. The lawyer was seated at the head of the...

The Palpable ProsecutorChapter 9

She spent the rest of the evening looking at her nails. She asked both marshals what they thought and, of course, both said it looked very nice. “It looks so strange,” she said, more than once. After supper Lacey asked Bob to come to her bedroom for a minute. When they got there, she posed, with her hands on her hips. “This polish doesn’t look good against this blouse,” she said. “The colors clash.” “I only got one color of polish, Lacey.” “I have more tops,” she said. “I need your...

Undercover RoseChapter 25

When I returned from my ride the next morning there was a complete dossier on a security guard name Roland Gillispee. I made myself leave it until after my shower. The shower took the usual twelve minutes before it ran cold. I got out of it then dressed in the outer bathroom. I chose a pair of sloppy pants and a sweatshirt, since the plan was to sit around trying to work out my plan for Roland. First thing to do was to find out all about Roland. I already knew there was something dark in...

Stranded in a Foreign LandChapter 2 A Somewhat Friendly Chat

Pulling up at the McCreary's house, Josh steeled himself for what he had to do and the likely difficulties involved. Combing his hair, he tried to make himself more presentable. Josh had always been intimidated by Becky's father, Jonathan McCreary (who always insisted on Josh calling him by his full name). As a retired military man, he was a difficult task master and he'd ridden Josh hard, measuring him against an imaginary role he couldn't match. This was not going to be an easy...

Black StigmataChapter 8

Jason sat on a bench in the rehab facility courtyard, staring down at the shed leaves that smothered the yard. Above him, the barren fingers of the trees swayed ever so gently in the breeze, having lost their sails to the inevitable chill. It was halfway through November and the temperature was just above freezing, yet Jason sat with only a button-down shirt as an secondary layer for his chest. The expression on his face was like that of a self-loathing drug addict sitting in a damp alley....

Tomorrow Is Another DayChapter 9 More friends

Terry met Lois and me for brunch. She wore an interesting outfit that I couldn’t quite describe, other than having the qualities of a deeply slit cocktail dress, in a clingy red silky material. It was immediately obvious that she was braless. Either Lois and Terry had a well-established psychic channel, or they had talked on the phone recently. I bet on the latter. Lois was also in red, but a deeper one that worked with her dark complexion. Neither Lois nor James nor I had communicated the...

Steve and Chuck Changes and Life AdjustmentsChapter 32

Steve I was awake around three in the morning, thinking about Chuck and Lisa. I watched them go through some really deep emotions yesterday. Every person who has gone through combat has experienced it. You hold it in and hold it in, experiencing the flashbacks and reliving the fear and adrenaline boost all over again, time and time again, whether in dreams at night or when something triggers it. Anyone who has every experienced it would have recognized that Chuck and Lisa were sitting on...

Gateway What Lies BeyondChapter 54

We rode out again the next day early in the morning, and headed east again to another small valley that stood just north of the one we had checked the day before. This one was even smaller in size than the first one. It had a small stream flowing through it that actually fed into the river that flowed out of the first valley. The valley was quaint, but nothing special. It took us an hour to get to it on horseback, an hour to check it out, and an hour to ride back to the base. We made it back...

Don t Sleep in the SubwayChapter 46 The DNA Changes

I was back about six months when I came face to face with some of the complications of spending several years in the past and only aging a few minutes back here in real time. I guess I should not say “real time” by referring to the present as the only reality. In a way, I had considered the travel to the past as more exciting and real than supposed reality itself. That probably sounds crazy to most and I would be cautious about saying that to some shrink I didn’t trust one hundred percent or...

My Girls III Truth Power and HopeChapter 2

'PATRICK! GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, NOW!' Megan screamed hysterically into my mind. 'Megan? What is it?' 'BANDOR! GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE, NOW! PLEASE?' My blood ran cold. 'Red alert, girls! Full shields, NOW, all on Megan. 'Eric, get your rainbow around her, now!' 'It will just supersede their shields; it won't add to them, ' Eric said. 'Adjust the average frequency to 422nm; then it will, ' I said. There was a pause. 'Oh, so it will. Done, ' he said, sounding...

What do you say to someone heading into...

Roger and Cynthia Naked in SchoolChapter 9

At Friday morning’s swim practice, the coach spent the first hour having the team doing wind sprints and then began organizing the team relays for the various events and ran several relay heats for the kids to get the timings of their starting dives down pat. Today Roger had remembered to bring a snack with him; he was eating an energy bar as he entered his home room classroom about ten minutes late. “Any announcements?” he whispered to Ayame. “Just about the swim meet tonight,” she...

Lab PartnersChapter 7

Kit’s cell phone signaled an incoming call. He recognized Nichelle’s number. “Hi,” he said. “How was the funeral?” Kit -- I HATE funerals. I HATE them. Promise me that, if we’re still in love when I die, there’ll be no funeral. Just cremate my body and scatter my ashes. Scatter them anywhere -- I don’t care. Promise me that. “Okay, I promise. Otherwise, how was it?” It was nice, I guess. A fair number of my white cousins removed and whatnot showed up so that was nice. We exchanged email...

SunnyChapter 5

Carl’s turn: What a night ... So far, I’ve had half a great hamburger and I’ve knifed a guy. I’ve been to the county sheriff’s office and come home in orange coveralls... “Let me get pictures,” Sunny said. “Sunny, this ain’t what I wanna be famous for...” “There are worse things, Carl.” “God, I just wanna get home...” “Don’t be a wuss. You stepped up. Masterfully...” I was trying to parse the look on her face. “Whaddaya mean?” “Well, there’re a lot of posers out there. You know ‘em....

Deputy PorterChapter 3

Our wife beater decided that he would rather do a few weeks on the county farm than a few years in the state pen. I personally thought that it was a good choice. He came quietly once he made the decision to come along. He was cuffed and leaning against the car before my backup arrived. Webster had not been kidding when he said back up was a long way off. Most of my time was spent just riding down country roads looking for things that were out of place. With all that land mass, the bad guys...

The CatalystChapter 30 Sometimes Things Need to be Explained

[I tried to figure out what Greg might be so emotional about, but, I realized that I didn’t have a clue!] “Hey girls, when we get home, would you mind if Greg and I went to the bar for a drink?” Mary, always in sync with me, smiled. “Sure, I think you boys need some ‘guy’ time.” I knew that she was flashing Linda and Jamie. “We’re gonna go see ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!’ None of us have seen it yet. So NO INTERRUPTIONS, please? I chuckled, “No problem, have... ‘fun’. Thanks.” After they...

Pamela s TherapyChapter 8 Conclusion

Childhood development consists of five distinct stages; Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latent and Genital. Adult mental health is contingent on the successful completion of these phases. Oral fixations may lead to a need for instant gratification and later drug abuse. Anal retentive individuals may become inhibited or obsessive compulsive. Our sexual identity is molded in the phallic stage, and cemented in puberty. Psychoanalysis attempts to reach back to our childhood and rip out our self destructive...

Undercover RoseChapter 79

A week and a day later we all agreed it was time for me to go. The small black plane met me at a drug smuggler's airstrip outside Biloxi Mississippi. The flight to a small dirt strip outside Williamston Alabama was a short hop by plane. I was wearing new clothes yet again. I used the pilots phone to call a taxi before I let him leave. The taxi took me to the storage locker, which held my tricycle and my own cell phone. I stopped by the office to check that my bill had been paid and to pick...

Fairly CAPableChapter 12 An Offer

The young man looked out the window at the lunar surface. He knew it wasn’t real. He knew what he was looking at was nothing more than a projection of some spot recorded on the surface perhaps a hundred klicks or so above him. He knew with just a sub-vocal command he could have an image from any other planet in the Confederacy on his monitor. If he wanted, he could even see a recorded image of his home. Sure, it wouldn’t be real time – just a recording of some days, weeks or months before –...

Over the Hills and Faraway Book 5 Paying the PiperChapter 31 Out of mind

7th April, 2009. Chez Butcher; Henley-on-Thames, Berkshire. "Well, I'm glad we've sorted out the misunderstanding," Baz Butcher said. "I couldn't understand why you turned down the invite to my wedding; we've been mates since primary school, and I considered your mum as an aunt, and a damn sight better looking one than my Aunty Flo." He drained his tumbler of whisky. "But why would your missus not only refuse the invitation but not tell you me and Sadie were getting married?" "Pure...

Undercover RoseChapter 94

True to his word Steve followed me with his emergency lights flashing. He was taking the job of protecting me seriously. Seriously enough to get out of bed at 5 AM, I thought. He crawled along behind me till we got to the Dairy Queen. I parked my cycle in the same parking space as Bart's tricycle. "Who else rides one of those strange looking tricycles?" he asked while I was putting the helmet into the basket on the rear of the tricycle. "That one belongs to Bart. He used to be a...

Campus Life Spring BreakChapter 23

It was about an hour after lunch had finished and about a half an hour into the afternoon's video shooting that Jay caught the 'Pop ... Pop ... Pop-Pop-Pop ... Pop' sound as he walked down the second-floor hallway with Shaniqua, and then another lone 'Pop.' From ahead of them, they began to hear muffled shouts and screams ... that became un-muffled when one of the studio room doors opened and three people came running out in what appeared to be blind panic, two women going away from him...

Mr Rogers ResearchChapter 78

The drama of Mica and Janet dragged on while we worked on episode three of the second season of ‘That Bitch Tory’. On day one of the work on episode three Janet or I had to build the back story for our new character. His entrance into the story was in the last scene in episode two. Tyler spent his first night in Sparta on his grandfather Jamison’s twenty acre farm. Twenty acres was about the size of two city blocks. It seemed like a pretty good sized piece of land to Tyler who had spent the...

A Thousand Years of Peace Chapter 16 Back in Omak The World comes Knocking

“Hello,” Johnny Taylor answered. “Mr. Vice President, we have a delegation from Monsito. Do you have time to meet with them?” Nancy McCormick asked. This was the first time she had addressed Johnny as Mr. Vice President. Johnny would make time to meet with them, “Absolutely Nancy. Let’s have them meet with me at Sou’s. Oh, by the way, is Bill available for lunch? I may need someone to watch my back.” “Will do. Bill is home, he just got finished with a class. Three more Black Lanyard...

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...

Living Next Door to Heaven 2Introduction to Part VIII Becoming the Storm

Time: A few years ago. Senior year at IU for Brian. Place: Monroe County, Indiana—or a reasonable facsimile thereof.

The Strawberry Patch Book 1 The BabiesChapter 33 It Was Not Supposed To Be Like This

September – Year 1 Well that cat was out of the bag. He shouted it loud enough that people blocks away could have heard him. And since the bar was not yet busy, everyone there now knew something was going on with Erin and babies. “Well that didn’t take long.” Mark hit me on the shoulder. “Well we know she is pregnant, we believe it is twins. We have to wait for a few months to find out.” “So, are congratulations in order?” “Hell yes. Lynn and I both participated and did our level...

Building a LegacyChapter 21 Pushed to the Edge

Alex busied himself for much of the morning. It was a warm sunny day and the Test Rose Garden was busy. Given it was a work day, the garden's visitors were mostly either invalid or retired, so Alex had a lot of people to concentrate on. "There you are!" someone called out as Alex stood after talking to an older couple, his hand resting lightly on her arthritic knee to steady himself. Since she hadn't tried to use it yet, she likely wouldn't even notice it for some time, which is what...

The Saga of Bass and SarahChapter 4

We kind of agreed to circle the wagons that first night. I wanted to strangle Sarah. I wanted to tie her to a chair and cut off her body parts and feed them to her piece by piece. I conjured up all kinds of ways to make her pay for what she’d done. I kept those thoughts to myself though. I had three little girls, and they were very important to me. It wasn’t that cold out, but I brought in some chunks of firewood and started a fire in the old fireplace. The five of us all sat around it....

Maxine Stone s New LifeChapter 400

Even though I did not have sex Saturday night and absolutely did not have a threesome, I still wanted pancakes. Harvey was up and moving even before me. He was back in the shower and in there a long time, while I pretended to be asleep. When I was sure that he was dressed and down checking his email or writing on his blog, I went into the bathroom. I did my morning things, I empty and sterilized the holding tank, then stood under the hot shower for a long time. I probably didn't need it as...

My Journey Book 3 BowsChapter 33

I took my phone out and messaged Emma. “My day’s taken a turn for the worst. I’m in the mood to kill someone. Already talked to Dr. Spencer. Why won’t people fuck off?” She messaged back quickly. “Deep breaths. Tell them to fuck off and hold on. The end of the day is coming.” “Carl, then physio and then Dr. Spencer after school. Then cops about last night. This day won’t end.” “I sympathize. If it helps, I’m having a good day with Patty and Louisa.” I just put my phone away and waited for...

The BootleggerChapter 3

I suppose I chose the pot business over making liquor, because I had some personal issues. It wasn’t all strictly a business decision I have to admit. I used the product to help with my PTSD anxiety and ease the depression attacks. Since I grew it, I had access to the best strains of the hemp related plants. Even Trina admitted to smoking the product now and then. Well I have to admit that it was more now, than it had been before she got involved with me. We smoked it before having sex. It...

Don t Sleep in the Subway Part TwoChapter 2

I had some strange nightmares that night and woke up with my hand on my dick squeezing it so hard I was hurting myself. I let go with a guilty look around and glad to see that I had no witnesses to my silly reaction. My visit to the VA medical center had triggered some buried issues that I had successfully compartmentalized and bricked up in a generally unused area of my brain storage reserved for secrets and memories best left forgotten as long as possible. I had discovered long ago that...

Dark Days Darkest Before the DawnChapter 4

The next morning, we were up early, retracing our steps to the heliport. Jake thought we should go ahead and hit River Ranch in Killeen so he had arranged for the helicopter to take us. It was a two-hour drive or forty minutes in a Helicopter, though the ranch was actually not in Killeen. It was outside the hilariously named town of Ding Dong, Texas, just south of Killeen and the huge army base of Fort Hood. The ranch was centered on the Lampasas River which meandered through the property...

Dark Days Darkest Before the DawnChapter 6

It was Friday and Alan and Debbie had asked me at lunch if they could get a ride. Their parents were up in Fort Lauderdale at some event and wouldn’t be back until late that night and it had been raining all day. The bus ride that morning hadn’t been too bad, but they were dreading the one int the afternoon. When I suggested they come and hang out at my place this afternoon, eat dinner with me and my uncle, they were all for it. I had a desktop PC, an Xbox One and a PS4 in my room, so if...

Dark Days Darkest Before the DawnChapter 11

The dreams were back with a vengeance, Everett alive and as evil as ever. I was nine all over again and watching while he toyed with his victim, the living meat sack that had been the boy before me. Only this time, we were on a boat, and there were girl meat sacks. None of them were really alive; all were waiting for that final cut. I watched, helpless, as he went from one to the next, each time asking me if I was paying attention ... asking if I was watching their eyes. When I woke again,...

The Bob ClausChapter 7

"Where the hell have you been?" growled First Sergeant Williams. "We've had men out looking for you all night!" "I think I had a rough landing," said Bob, who was still confused. It was as if the North Pole had never happened. When he had found himself in the dayroom, there was nobody there. Jeff Disston, one of the other squad leaders in his platoon had walked in only seconds later, before Bob could get his wits about him. To say there had been an uproar would be like saying jumping...

Targets of OpportunityChapter 2 Recovery and Connections

Melinda Smith was getting spooked out by the Confederacy vessel. She had been one of the paramedics who had raced through the transporter to help in the marked out triage area in the transporter room. She also wanted to make sure they were doing the right thing, letting the victims be brought up here. Seeing the familiar, and dreaded, color coding of a mass casualty triage area had gotten her pulse racing and her mouth went dry. The professionalism of the medical personnel she had observed...

CarleyChapter 8

Rob knelt on the sofa behind Carley. He had an impressively long and thick erection which he rubbed against Carley’s outer lips. As he started to work his cock into her, Carley gasped and pulled away. “Easy with that thing! Take it easy!” Rob flipped onto his back and pulled Carley down over his face. He licked and tongued her until she was wet enough, then resumed his position behind her. Carefully, he managed to get his cock almost all the way in. Rob often bragged that he was too long...

My Girls III Truth Power and HopeChapter 20

"Please Katie, don't die. You can't die now. I've finally found you. You can't die now," he pleaded. Katie ran her fingers softly over his cheek. "You're being a dork again, Dork," she said, smiling tenderly to rob her words of any offense. The love shone in her eyes. "I have to die, Christopher. It's the only way this can ever end. I wasn't supposed to be here at all. I have to die," she repeated. She didn't seem sad at the prospect. "Why?" he asked, his heart breaking in...

Oil of Roses Snakes Among the VinesChapter 38

February 1st, 2007, Wednesday – February 2nd, 2007, Thursday Helen Newton Knowing the story hadn’t prepared her for seeing the three of them tell the story, faces blank and voices flat. Helen had scant experience with PTSD, but she was willing to bet anything that would be part of the diagnosis for Jason, Donna, and Abby. She’d run back to the guest lodge, going all out, trying to pound those expressions and voices out of her mind. “This ... this is what I meant...” Pika said, pulling up...

K itten and T eddybearChapter 7 Protect and Serve

Jason would not be so lucky. Interlude: 25th Anniversary Cindy: "There are so many stories about that week. Everyone seems to have one, but none of them agree. Mom says she crossed some lines, and learned some humility. Justin, that's the Justin Immons, claims Mom is a genius, and that he had no chance of pulling it off without her. Uncle Jason says he learned his profession that week, but he was hurt and convalescing most of the time. Back before Miss Helen died, she would only shake her...

Three Square MealsChapter 61 The Goddess of wisdom and war patron of heroes

“So, this is what I really look like?” Jade marvelled, turning one way and then the other as she looked at herself in the four mirrors. John watched her from one side of the walk-in wardrobe, and smiled as he replied, “Still just as beautiful as ever, little catgirl.” She turned to grin at him, her cute nose wrinkling as she did so, and revealing her pointed canines in her sparkling smile. Jade saw his gaze fall on her pointed teeth, and she giggled when she looked in the mirror and bared...

From an Outie to an InnieChapter 7

We went back to the QT to pick up my bike, which I rode home, following my parents in their car. I have to admit that I experienced a bit of anxiety as I approached it: my Yamaha, that is. It was right there where he grabbed me. That feeling of anxiety mixed with dread made me mad, too. That fucker took away my feelings of security. I wish I could gut him. Or, better yet, saw his fucking head off ... or maybe not. I don’t know how that would affect me. Probably very poorly. Upon reaching...

Claudia s Condition the HealingChapter 2

Claudia and Dan sat in the physiatrist’s office waiting for her next meeting with Dr. Phillips. It had been five weeks since she and the others had been rescued, and her therapy for symptoms of PTSD was progressing well. He gazed at his love wearing a short pleated, peach coloured skirt, and cream coloured moderately low cut top. She paused from thumbing through a copy of Women’s Health to smile and grip Dan’s hand. Claudia seemed to be the central person to keep in contact with Wayne,...

Rough BoyChapter 3

I called in a favor from a fellow veteran who worked at the company and got a ride into work. Kameron wasn't happy about me ducking her, but she let it go after sending me a curt text message. I went in through the main entrance. The rumor mill must have worked overtime the day before--the guards called me 'Sir' when I asked to see the sign-in book. Elaine Smith, Institute Positive Telepathic Class. She was already in the building, but no one authorized her entry so I didn't have a clue...

Rough BoyChapter 4

Kameron had parked next to my car. She was sitting on the hood of her car, waiting for me. I would have loved for her to need more time to think, so that I'd have more time to think. "Hi," I said after throwing my laptop into the backseat. I sat on the hood of my car. She stared at me; I stared back. "You slept with Angela," she said. I nodded. "Did you fuck anybody's wife in there?" The tone of her voice was frosty. "I'm not there yet." Her eyes widened; she bit down on...

Rough BoyChapter 5

My veteran buddy drove me to work again. His wife said hello as I got into the front passenger seat. I gave my buddy a questioning look; he shrugged. The wife was chatty without any expectation of a response. It fit my needs since I wanted to think about Charlene. I'd conked out by the time Elizabeth came back with Bobby. The couple left without waking me up, which suited me fine. I didn't know how to react--maybe thinking Bobby was the father would be best for everyone, if there was a...

The LegionChapter 2

(The Canadian Connection) Trudy worked at a dental assistant at a nice office on the east side catering to the society crowd and a whole bunch of people with lots of money and no time. I have to admit it bothered me a bit the way she was always asking me to open my mouth wide so she could inspect my teeth and reminding me it was better to brush after eating and not just the paltry once a day right before going to bed. I did like it when she got up close and personal with my mouth and got her...

ResonanceChapter 13

“Joshua. Joshua!” I was awake. Upright in bed. Chest and shoulder aching. Wet sheets tangled around my legs. “What? What?” Yael was beside me, stroking my back. “You were screaming again. Fighting in your sleep.” A narrow wedge of light grew in the bedroom. A Shin Bet guard’s face slid into the open door, carefully avoiding looking at the bed. “Everything’s fine,” Yael said. “Another nightmare.” A nod. The door closed again. I looked down. My fists were clenched, throbbing. I turned to...

EverywhenChapter 9

[Tuesday, June 24th, 1986] Sam sat there staring at either me or the ticket for a good 5 minutes. Eventually, he shook his head and said, “John, my temper can get a little out of hand sometimes. Normally, someone trying to give me a handout would piss me right off, but you’ve managed to kinda blow my mind here. I don’t know if I can make you understand, but I’ll try to explain.” “You see, I need to live my life by certain rules. I won’t lie. I won’t steal. I will earn my keep. That’s it,...

The Hermit of Scarecrow ValleyChapter 13

Evolution is often talked about as this force of nature that takes place, almost in slow motion, over thousands and millions of years. But there is another aspect of that theory that requires us to think about it differently. For example, that far back ancestor who first used something as a tool didn’t think about using something as a tool for thousands of years. He picked up a rock and whacked something with it. Just like that. He got an idea, and he went for it. Then that idea led to others...

Jill the MirrorChapter 4 Dove explores DC

Over coffee with Sandra, who seemed in an exceptionally happy space, Dove recounted, “Our relationship, long distance as it was, kept evolving. Eventually, Howard sent me tickets to come visit him.” Dove blushed a little. “Did I just blush?” “Yes, honey, you did. I’ll bet it was for a good reason.” “I’d never flown far, certainly across the continent. I’d barely been outside the province of British Columbia. My trip here was only my second transcontinental one. Visiting Vancouver was huge,...

Picking Up the PiecesChapter 15

With the push to finish up Dithyran's Probe and at least get a glance at Swordsman of Atlantis, Dave had enough to keep him busy the rest of the week, along with some other loose ends on the move. He was aware his mother and Shae had talked back and forth with Emily once or twice, but wasn't clear on details. Shae kept telling him everything was all coming together nicely with few problems, nothing he need concern himself with, and he was busy enough that he took her word for it. It seemed...

Alene Raven s New Life Year IIIChapter 5

“My bra is so tight today.” Just as the words left Sabrina’s mouth her top ripped open and her breasts exploded into view, leaping out of her bra. “What’s happening?” Sabrina asked, the panic in her voice as clear as day. Her breasts, surrounded by her shirt, hung down. They were smooth and round. “What’s going on?” Jen asked, she woke up and tried to figure out what she missed, “Are you doing it with Sabrina, Alene?” She shot at her. “I wasn’t doing anything!” Alene protested, but before...

The Falling Oak Learning How to DieChapter 2 Suicide

Sept. 12, 2018 I said in my “There are no words” blog post that we would be going some places here. It’s ok. We’re exploring feelings real ones. Not all thoughts, feelings, and actions are pleasant. It’s ok. You need to ask yourself if you’re up to looking into these places. It’s ok if you need to skip something that hits to close to home. You’re not going to hurt my feelings. A lot of people have been hurt by suicide. I understand if you don’t want to talk about it with me. I’m NOT trying...

The Falling Oak Learning How to DieChapter 68

May 17th, 2021 Hello Everyone, I hope this finds you in good health. It’s been almost two months and a lot has went on. First I want to say my stress concerning heat is way lower than it has been the last several years. Having room, household, and auto A/C keeps me right. I avoid being outside much when it’s my version of hot, Which is 74 degrees or higher. As long as I’m in the shade I can go a bit when it’s that low. My personal mobility is a growing concern. I go through periods of...

Speaking With Your Demons04 Searching For Additional Allies

Phil was on his way out the door when his cellphone rang. “Crap! Who’s calling my private line this time of day?” Mizo and Slavsin found this hilarious, chortling. Tristan had other ideas. “Please, you’re better than that. You need to practice expressing yourself since you need to convince so many in the coming weeks.” “You’re right, I should behave better, damn it!” That set Mizo and Slavsin off again, but before Tristan could respond, Phil answered his phone. “Hello, Phil...

{br}from where they are to where they have not been. Henry Kissinger Phil and his daughter were exiting the Space Needle, weaving around the line waiting to get inside. “Seriously, Dad, I appreciate your interest in keeping me entertained while I’m here, but I didn’t come here to visit tourist sites. Instead, I want to reconnect with you in a more personal, intimate way over long conversations. Since we both wrestle with the same issues, and deal with the same people, it makes sense for us...

“Well, Mr. Walker,” the Commissioner said, spreading his arms to include everyone in the room, “you’ve certainly convinced me that we can finally change our pervasive anger-management issues. You’ve also won over the most skeptical of opponents by convincing these cops, for whom traditional talk therapy has never helped. But we’re all interested in something a little more concrete. Say maybe a real-life demonstration?” “I was hoping I could treat Officer Waters, but his berserkers seem to be...
