Melanie Jackson on the Side

I am looking forward to living a long and healthy life, so let me start out by telling you that my neighbor, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Melanie Jackson is just north of 40 and by that I really mean that she is just north of 50 and by that I really mean she’s pushing her compass to 61. But, for the […]

His Best Friend’s Mother

Robin Earl Wilson was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was the youngest of the three children in the family. Maybe an afterthought or maybe an accident, because his brother was twelve years older and his sister sixteen. He had no memories of his siblings at home except for his brother returning from service in the Army and immediately leaving […]

5 Weeks With Daisy

It happened quite by accident. I was at one of the supposed home repair centers, you know the ones, they have an assortment of items generally used by the DIY people but not much else. My quest was to find a specific router bit that I didn’t want to wait several days for delivery, I needed it that day. Thankfully […]

The Good Samaritan

James had to rush from the ferry after work to get to the repair shop before it closed. It was not far but he had to walk briskly. The shop was in a quiet light industrial area nearby that became a ghost town after five. He arrived minutes before the shop was to close, only to discover it had closed […]

Manuscript

For Katie “We’re not quite sure what to do with the manuscript, Mr. Carmody. This isn’t something we usually work on.” The woman on the other end of the Zoom call was Katie Marinelli — in her late 20s, dark-complexioned with not too serious brown eyes, not quite full lips with a cherry red sort of color on them, and […]

DUO

I awoke with Beth and I lying spooned and naked, her back to me, my arm draped protectively over her midsection. She was still breathing evenly and deeply. As I became more conscious <aware>, to my surprise, I was sporting a woody. What the fuck? I couldn’t remember the last time I woke up with a morning hard-on! Especially as […]

Completing The Set

World War Two was officially over. The staff and pupils of the village school gathered together in the school yard for a whole school assembly. Everybody associated with the school wanted to give thanks for victory, to remember the brave men and women who had gone to war six years earlier, and who would not be returning home, and also […]

Help Me With This

They have each lost so much, people they loved and counted on. Luuk is an adopted son of her late sister Ineke. He was once a young child taken from a Romanian orphanage but who has grown up to be a self-confident, even arrogant young man with distinctive good looks and an ego that has brought him into trouble over […]

A Day by the Pool

It was mid-March and the weather in Milan was colder and greyer than I was expecting. I mentioned this to my sexy, mature next door neighbour Daniella—the lady that I had been having a complicated affair with for the last three months—and she suggested that we get out of the city for a long weekend to find some sun.

Home Gym

Vicky moving in next door was the most exciting thing that had happened on this street in at least a month and Stan was not about to miss out on the theater. He sat on his front porch sipping a cool drink as he watched the movers carry box after box into the 2 bedroom/1 bath house that mirrored his […]
