Plea Deal

Red, white and blue lights danced in my rearview mirror and I started to panic. For a moment, desperation set in and I thought about making an escape. I was in so much trouble that I was on the verge of tears. I pulled my car over to the side of the road and grabbed my license and registration and […]

Come Monday

Lonnie was running hard on the beach, sweating bullets. It was late on the Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend, and the sun was hot and the sky was high. Humid as hell, too. He was about halfway through his fourth mile, and in a few minutes he would be leaving the beach and getting back on the pavement. Then […]

Drunk and Loud

At lunchtime, Neil was in the kitchen talking to a colleague and opening a can of soup when Saoirse appeared in the doorway to get her lunch. She stood quietly until the conversation ended and his colleague left and then she approached the sink to wash her cup at the same time Neil moved over to the sink. They danced […]

Nicole and Kate: Beginnings

Nicole had recently turned 18 and her life was as busy as ever with school, soccer, tennis, applying to college, friends, and volunteer work. Sometimes she wondered if she was too busy for her own good, but she considered herself lucky to have a supportive family and some close and faithful friends. Over the past year or so, Nicole also […]

Early Vacation

We had a month-long vacation scheduled in the U.S. Virgin Islands. My husband and I had planned this for a long time and were excited about leaving when he was called to work. We were going to blow it off, but he insisted that I go ahead and he’d catch up as soon as he could.

Turning a Corner

My wife Liz had been cuckolding me for almost 2 years. It was slow by some standards, but I no longer considered myself to be a “wanna-be” so I had a positive outlook on all new things as we learned and explored the dynamic that was nothing short of spectacular.

An Accidental Photo Shoot

As the fasten seatbelt sign flashed on, I sat morosely in my seat. Air travel always makes me feel blue. I was a 34 year-old man, traveling alone on vacation. I was traveling alone because I had become a widower at the ghastly early age of 29. The love of my life and I had always loved to travel together. […]

Maria and the Six Humiliations

At Brightsmart Academy where Alex Wilson had attended some thirty years ago, they made freshmen pen letters to themselves as seniors. Amongst the wisdom Alex had dispensed he had written: “Don’t be a cliché” And here he was 47 and highly at risk. He was married with two children. He worked at a library, a stable career. And he ran […]

A Cool Spring Morning

I turned my truck around on the narrow gravel road and backed up angling the rear of the truck toward the water. “We are here,” I said to the young woman sitting on the seat next to me. Dixie looked around and smiled. “It is a beautiful place.”

Written Down

Two days after the mild confrontation between Todd, Monty and herself, Becky was sitting on her couch, cowboy hat on her head, black dress boots on her feet. She had ordered a second vibrator, a glass vibrator, and wished she’d spent a few extra dollars to have the toy shipped overnight. She reached for her cell phone.
