I’m Randy Taylor. I’m what’s normally called a computer weenie. A nerd. A geek. Now nearing 40 years of age, and sixteen years of marriage, with my fellow misfit, Annie Donovan, with two outstanding children, twins Donnie and Bonnie. Goofy? Yes, but when both Annie and I have lived most of our lives as misfits, what else would you expect?

Anna failed to recognise the number on the screen. At least it had not been ‘withheld’. ‘Hello?’ she answered cautiously, but in a friendly tone. It could so easily be a business call. ‘Anna?’ a male’s voice said brightly. There was the low rumble of traffic noise in the background. ‘Yes…who is it please?’ She heard a moment’s pause; the […]

Anna opened her eyes slowly, disturbed on feeling him leave her bed; not by the early morning sounds of traffic and the rumble of car tyres on the canal side’s cobbled carriageway that was just outside her bedroom window. The pale early morning light could be seen through the thin curtains. It seemed to make his tanned skin gleam as […]

“He’s probably still asleep, or out fighting,” she thought to herself. Looking into the mirror, there was a picture of Vox on the glass. Juno looked at this photograph and just smiled. “I remember when I revived you,” she whispered to this picture. “Ever since you became my knight, you’ve trained so many new knights…you’re one of a kind.” “Princess?”

Simone glanced up from open books and scattered sheets as he approached the table and her heart broke all over again, just like it did every time she saw him. Michael Ritter stood just under five-ten. He was slender, though not in an athletic way, but more in the manner of someone possessed of a narrow frame and fast metabolism. […]

Her friends spoke in dismay that she should have had her head turned by an older guy that she had only just met and had been seen talking to at the breakfast bar. She had met Jack Soames the night before at a barbecue supper that the hotel had arranged out on the terrace. It overlooked the sweeping crescent of […]

With a silent sigh, I look at the cute top that hangs on the store hanger. Normally I would be overjoyed at having found something so cute, but today? Dunno. Just not feeling it. Today is one of my few days off and one of my rare days to go clothes shopping. Days like today I should be filled with […]

A routine search for some fresh material to get off to had yielded nothing but frustration. Almost an hour had passed which was filled with cul-de-sacs and disappointment. Anything promising had turned out to be a dead link or the video would take too long to buffer.

I was dutifully dropping off at the school gate and I was all ready to make my home. I was in no rush. I had recently split with my wife. She kept the house and belongings along with a new fella. I had rented myself a tiny flat, all I could afford. I wasn’t pleased with the situation but I […]

The nervous groom greets table 13 with his bride. Some second cousins and of his wife’s friends from somewhere the groom couldn’t remember. He isn’t nervous due to the constant conversational requirements of hosting their wedding reception. He is nervous for what followed. The hotel by the airport. The condoms. His penis size. The wedding night.
