Safe House of Desire

“What the hell is this?” Asked the tall and bald Dimitri. Anna held up the blue gem, admiring its glow, she had no intention of revealing its secrets. “Shush!” Anna said cutting off the large man, not only did she not want to speak to him and his rough Georgian accent, but his smell… it was deeply abhorrent. “You are […]

Lady of Spirals (Book 01 MCV)

It was another lonely Thursday night for eighteen-year old Adam Turnbull as he swiped through Tinder. None of the worthwhile girls in his college wanted anything to do with an average, somewhat nerdy guy. They all wanted the frat boys and sports players. Frustrated, he decided to change his slider from 18-22 to 30-40 to see if any cougars wanted […]

Until the Real Thing Comes Along

It all started with the spirals. McKayla was up late one night working on a project, a collage she was making out of old science fiction magazines and back issues of Time, and she’d thrown on some cheesy 60s spy movie just to give her some background noise and keep her from falling asleep. She’d almost completely tuned out the […]

Just Like Magic

It had been a long day at the office for George. But days at the office had been like that more often lately. He didn’t know what to do. It made her very frustrated. His long day was made worse when his Ferrari broke down on the way home. Luckily, he was near a repair shop. George pulled his car […]

Gross! No! But Okay…

“Gross! No way! Please don’t make me do it.” “You know we’re thin on the ground for staff, Millie. Main crew’s covering the crisis, I need you. Look, I tell you what, do this for me & your next assignment is yours to choose.” Millie sighed. “Hmph. Okay.” “It’s one afternoon, two hours & you’re out of there,” her editor […]

Mars Needs Men

Allan could still remember watching on the grainy, black and white tv as the aliens landed in their silver saucers. And today, nearly twenty years later, he was in one of them. He looked around the shining, sterile white. Smooth surfaces on everything, not a hard corner to be found. Even his chair had a distinct egg shape. Screens bulged […]

A Demon’s Devotion

If Beatrice had to pick Lucy Augustine’s most frightening trait, it would be her silence. It was a strange thing, the way it infiltrated the air: innocuous, at first, until its cold fingers brushed your cheek, like a chilly wind on a summer day. There was always a chance it was nothing, a fleeting bout of unseasonable ill-temper. But more […]

Binoculation

I suppose I should start from when I purchased the binoculars. The directions allowed for programming a limit of two images into the lenses. When a person looked through the binocs at something, they were getting bombarded by strong subliminal imagery. These images would ingrain into the subconscious of the person. I was cautioned that the power of the images […]

The Statue

Hannah opened her eyes as dawn gently lit up the Museum. She was nude, laid bare on the floor directly beneath a statue of her. In her (real and tired) arms were the bodies of two (equally nude) worshippers. They were once merely coworkers — colleagues, friends. Perhaps, if the spirit of the statue had been different, they could have […]

Open-Minded

A bit rough for a beginning, I am aware. Sorry about that. It was my initial reaction, and I’m afraid it’s still a very accurate portrayal of what I’m feeling. But I’m getting ahead of myself. I’ve been aroused by mind control of various sorts for as long as I can remember. Long prior to understanding what erections were, I […]
