Was this really revenge? It may have been, but I’ll let you decide after you read the story. When a person is caught having an affair, so many lives are affected. Wives, husbands, children and friends all incur pain and suffering. If you read the story “Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day” you will understand the mostly factual account of an […]

I got up late and groggily shuffled my feet towards the kitchen. I needed a glass of water, my mouth feeling a little yucky from my early morning return. Damn, Tony had finally spent time with me at the party and I had stayed until late. This to the chagrin of a number of my friends who had been…well…let’s be […]

Lydia parked some way from her daughter’s house; the row of terraced houses, in this part of London, two-a-penny; their owners having devoted time, and not inconsiderable sums of money, on make-overs that soon brought their values up to an eye-watering sum for what you had bought. She had acted on impulse and hoped that Josh might be working from […]

I bought the bungalow on the edge of the woods because it was the only rural property in my price bracket; I had no interest in living in Bristol, where I worked, or in any of the nearby market towns. I wanted peace and quiet and that meant isolation. And boy was this place isolated: it didn’t even have a […]

I suppose I have to start somewhere. I wanted to write this down because I wanted a place to vent. Where better than here, where no one knows me. A little bit about me. I’m 35 this year, and I have a son that’s 19. I have been divorced since my son was 5, and have been raising him as […]

Davey was glad to have graduated from high school, which he hated. But he wasn’t really looking forward to his summer before starting college. He was 18. It was 1977. He had no girlfriend — he was a little shy and all the weed he smoked didn’t help his self-confidence or ability to form complete, coherent sentences to impress the […]

It was a nice afternoon. Peter was laying in the bed, wearing just his boxers. His dark hair cut short. His body that of a slim athlete. He was 22. He had some experiences with girls. His relationships didn’t last very long. He could not fathom if there was a problem with the girls of his age, or with him. […]

The incessant ringing of the phone on the small night stand was just annoying enough to make Scott Riley regret ever having gotten his own number. If he hadn’t, his mother would’ve answered the call out in the living room and he’d still be fast asleep. After nearly a dozen rings, you would think that the caller would’ve gotten the […]

My neighbor’s daughter was getting married and I felt obligated to attend since I had known her since the day she was born. I might have considered avoiding the five hour drive to the site of the wedding but my son was out of town on a work assignment and my daughter was off with her family at her son’s […]

In addition to an incredible sexual experience I had recently with my ex-wife’s best friend (Roselyn), I had gotten the phone number, unsolicited, from Lindsey the babysitter. She had slipped it into my jacket when I gave her a ride home.
