I fell in love instantly. The first problem? I was a mime. There was no way I could tell her without breaking character and that would end my dream. The second and even greater problem? She was far too young for me at the time. I watched as she got three cups of beer from a vendor near our stage. […]

Sarah Grey was walking to the independent grocery store with her long, curly hair loose and with $20 in her wallet on Friday. She was looking forward to the weekend; she had her knitting group to meet up with at the local yarn store on Sunday. She was hungry and needed some ingredients to cook her dinners for the week. […]

My name is Raymond Bannister, more commonly known as RayBan, both for my name and for the sunglasses I wear whenever I can. I’m former army special forces and I belonged to an elite group that specialized in getting into places where we shouldn’t go.

Robert excitedly sat down at the dining room table, as today was his sixteenth birthday; and he finally knew what he wanted to ask for as his birthday present. His parents have asked him several times what he would like, but he always had no answer. As his mom and dad sat down with him after eating dinner and cutting […]

There was a huge red velvet cake, candles and flowers and lots of glitter at their party. Though they had booked a private corner, their half-drunken screams […]

Guys know this, but women may not. When there are two or more men in the shower, we almost never make reference to each other’s equipment. I would guess women are the same about their breasts or figures, but I wouldn’t know. Haven’t cared enough to ask. Anyhow, another man may ask you about scars (from surgeries, for example) or […]

Chapter 1: Veiled Conversations “Tell me about your first kiss,” Jessica asked in a playful, dreamy voice. “I don’t know,” I shrugged, “what about yours?” She disdainfully said, “It was some boy when I was twelve, who didn’t know the difference between kissing my lips and licking tonsils.

It was a Barbeque hosted by my daughter and her life partner. I was a little surprised when she introduced Alison as the love of her life. Jeanine was a wild child in college and had at least one pregnancy scare. It seemed that changing teams made her a better, calmer person. They had been married for three years and […]
