Ryan watched her dance the ballet for what must have been the 50th time. He still could barely believe his eyes as she moved through space, impossibly lithe and sensual. No one should be able to move like that. It was profoundly breathtaking. Painfully so. Time and time again he’d watched as she stepped, turned, and swayed to the music, […]

Typical Saturday night. Candace sat at the bar and waited rather impatiently for her friends to arrive. Good thing their lives never depend on their punctuality, she thought, rolling her eyes to herself. “Can I get you something, miss?” a bald bartender yelled over the blaring dance music of the club. “Um, I think I’ll have a margarita, no salt, […]

“Hmm…~ hmm…~♩” A quiet humming voice filled the lonely bedroom. Moonlight escaped through the cracks of the wooden walls. It was a very quiet night as neither animals’ sound nor the cicadas’ buzzing was heard. Two persons laid on their single mattress. One of them was a very large man with messy black hair. A few red streaks were visible […]

My name is Joe Goldstein and I’ve reunited with my first love and couldn’t be happier. Let me tell you the whole story. I used to think my life resembled a comic strip. Among the kids in my class in elementary school class were Charlie Brown, Linus Van Pelt, his sister Lucy, their music-loving friend Schroeder, a kid named Franklin, […]

She had been looking forward to this night for weeks. Raising their children was a labor of love, and one they committed to with humor and humility, but they were missing their time together and the magic of being the romantic couple they were. J had planned the evening, finding a special event the orchestra had planned for the holidays. […]

When I was back in high school, senior year, March 1979, I started dating the class brain. She wasn’t someone I sought out because outwardly she was not the type I would usually ask out.

Nelson Quinn was a lazy genius of 22 who spent his free time playing video games or reading.

He hated television and movies; they were too predictable […]
