As Emily White walked downstairs towards the kitchen, she noticed that the house had filled with the smell of bacon. “Good morning sleepyhead!” her mother, Lauren, said as Emily took a seat at the counter. “Good morning mom” Emily replied. “You slept late today Em. It’s almost 10:15!” “Wow, that is quite late” Emily said.

‘You fucked my husband.’ That got her attention. She looked like the whore everyone said she was. Nice clothes, too expensive for the job she had, too showy for office daywear.

For many years now I have made a business of my fascination with things beautiful and old by acquiring items at estate sales and then selling them to knowledgeable collectors. To me it is a satisfying and lucrative way of life. So it was not unusual when, among other items and pieces of furniture I bought a hansom leather briefcase […]

If I didn’t rely so much on my phone, I would have thrown it out the window or attacked it with a hammer when the alarm went off that morning. It wasn’t that I was upset it was Monday again, but rather, it was the date. It was our fifteenth wedding anniversary and, to be honest, I wondered why we […]

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, […]

My name is Bonnie Williams. I’m nearing my 60th birthday. Oh, shit that sounds old. As I contemplate this milestone, I realize its better than my poor husband, Ben, who died of cancer just over two years ago. We had 38 very good years of wedded bliss. We raised three wonderful children, Ben, Jr, now 38, Brian, 36 and Bethany, […]

“Oooohhhhhh … fuckkkkkkk.” Bob laughed from behind me. I glanced over my shoulder as another tremor ran through my body. “What’s so … funny?” With a chuckle, “You, my dear. I remember the first time when you said you had never used that word.” “Well, I hadn’t. Oh, Bob … you have the nicest cock.”

Wind buffeted the portaledge, waking Tom from a restless sleep. His eyes opened to see the dim purple and gold light that meant dawn. Tom and his mother Eileen were separated by four feet of open space, below that, nothingness for two thousand feet and then a slow bank into the pine trees of Yosemite Valley. They were two-thirds up […]

Terry and Alyssa had been married 10 years when Alyssa’s friend Vanessa got divorced. She had been married seven years at the time and never really felt like she and her husband had connected on every level. Vanessa had shared the details of their very active sex life with Alyssa but the last few years they didn’t seem to have […]

I work in a manufacturing facility. About fifteen years ago, I had a position working in the storeroom. It was time to do the annual inventory so management subcontracted a woman from a temporary agency to help me. All Temporaries have to go through a safety review before they are permitted to come out on to the work floor. I […]
