One More Year
I’m not a grim, depressive person. At least I don’t feel like one. Not all the time, anyway. I assume everyone has their low points, and I’m no exception, but I like to think of myself as relatively upbeat. I’ve been called an ‘Emo Kid’ occasionally at school, although I don’t remember why. Maybe song choice. High school is the […]
A Moveable Feast
The first time it happened, Maria didn’t recognize it. Only afterward, once it became obvious, did she understand what she had felt. As she rode her boyfriend Fernando, bucking and moaning in orgasm, there was suddenly a loose and sliding sensation, centered down on her vagina. Maria was rather distracted by her pleasure, however, and the sensation was quickly gone, […]
My Husband’s Boss
We were both nervous as we walked down the hotel corridor. Of course I would be, considering what I was expected to do once we got to the room. But it was my husband’s trembling hand on mine and him practically hyperventilating that made me realize how difficult this must be for him. 5:54 pm 501 was on the right […]
My Strict Young Governess
It wasn’t easy for me to explain to my husband that I needed to change my life. It was as if my dreams had conquered my common sense. I told him that I kept having an overpowering desire to be submissive to a young, strict woman in her 20s—I’m 45—and for her to be totally in control of my daily […]
Summer’s Unfinished Business
It was June, the day after my high school graduation, when my mother pulled up to our house, the one I grew up in, the house where I found love and conflict, the house where my mother and father decided to separate and no longer love each other. I had some wonderful memories there but recently it became unbearable to […]
Pendant to Remember
God, my head hurts. Beer, whiskey, rum, tequila. The quantities could not be counted. There seemed to be more cocktails. But he didn’t remember exactly. Such a dose would knock a trained alcoholic off his feet, not a fresh out of high school kid. The bell rang. The call. The call. Each one like a knife to the nerves.
The Chronicles of Sara
In college, I was always the “odd man out” among the eight of us who rented a house together during our Senior year. All of my roomies had paired off with serious girlfriends prior to the group of us even coming together, while I still played the field, so to speak. Each of the other guys was looking for a […]
Best Man
I never thought that I’d be at a bachelorette party a week before my forty second birthday. My college roommate, who I consider my sister, called me three months ago and told me she was getting married. Now, we were in a bar off Broadway in downtown Nashville tossing back shots while similar groups of women around us did the […]
The P.I. Who Came in From the Cold
The hotel was paying me to watch the door because expensive cuts of meat seemed to be walking out of the cooler—more were missing than they were serving. Hotels don’t take kindly to those kind of losses. The hotel’s manager of food services, Denny Searle, was my contact. He’d arranged for the vacant room behind the cardboard box.
The Case of the Missing Girl
The office was dark when it started, the shades drawn, and the blues playing from the radio. I could hear the clip-clop of her heels as she walked down the hall to my office. She knocked on my door, something most folks around here didn’t. I barked “Come”, and she walked in. Blonde, wearing a green dress, mint in color. […]
