Pushing the Boundaries

Emily came home from work with a lot on her mind. She really needed to talk about what had happened with her husband, but Kyle wasn’t due home for another couple of hours and this was not a subject she could talk about on the phone and especially not with him at work. She wasn’t even sure she wanted to […]

“Yes Daddy.”

I walked into my favorite bookstore on a warm afternoon in late July. I wandered for a bit like I always do, perusing the books and picking a few that grabbed my attention. I headed over to the large cafe area, there was seating for about 30 people there. I scanned the area and looked for an open table.

Sweet Renegotiation

I’m Carrie Connor, a 21-year-old Chemistry major. I was struggling to pay my way through school half a year ago. I was glad I had some ‘chemistry’ with the much older gentleman I found on a “sugar” website. Reggie provided everything I needed and nearly everything I wanted. He paid all my college expenses, let me use one of his […]

Drunk and Loud

At lunchtime, Neil was in the kitchen talking to a colleague and opening a can of soup when Saoirse appeared in the doorway to get her lunch. She stood quietly until the conversation ended and his colleague left and then she approached the sink to wash her cup at the same time Neil moved over to the sink. They danced […]

Turning a Corner

My wife Liz had been cuckolding me for almost 2 years. It was slow by some standards, but I no longer considered myself to be a “wanna-be” so I had a positive outlook on all new things as we learned and explored the dynamic that was nothing short of spectacular.

An Accidental Photo Shoot

As the fasten seatbelt sign flashed on, I sat morosely in my seat. Air travel always makes me feel blue. I was a 34 year-old man, traveling alone on vacation. I was traveling alone because I had become a widower at the ghastly early age of 29. The love of my life and I had always loved to travel together. […]

Maria and the Six Humiliations

At Brightsmart Academy where Alex Wilson had attended some thirty years ago, they made freshmen pen letters to themselves as seniors. Amongst the wisdom Alex had dispensed he had written: “Don’t be a cliché” And here he was 47 and highly at risk. He was married with two children. He worked at a library, a stable career. And he ran […]

Leaving Salome

I looked out the window and stared aimlessly into the West Texas landscape. I sat in the back seat of my father’s Ford F-250 pickup as we rolled through the seemingly endless sand hills, the natural beauty of the Stockton Plateau, the wooded mountain slopes and the desert grasslands. My mother was asleep in the front seat, resting her head […]

The Garden Party

Apprehensively Sara surveyed the rounded brass surround of the the large ceramic button with “Bell” written on it, positioned just to the left of the ridiculously shiny and imposing black door. As she pressed she could hear a rich “Ding Dong” come from within, as though it was a real bell not an electronic version. She heard a bright English […]

No Kids For The Weekend

Her phone rang off it’s a familiar chime, calling her back from some half remembered dreamscape, to her king sized bed in a large house in the suburbs of Chicago. Grey light trickled in through the window from a predictably overcast sky and shed no shadows as it dimly lit her room in the early morning. Eric lay in bed […]
