The story is that my mother had trouble getting pregnant. That is supposed to explain why I’m eight years younger than my sister. It was nice being younger, because when I was little, it was as if I had two mothers: My real mother, and my sister. I couldn’t pronounce Layla correctly, and I called my sister Bayba, initially. That […]

Alex Sinclair decided to take the afternoon off and drive out to Coney Lake, ten miles north of his dorm, to a small beach used almost exclusively by nudists. It was a small lake, about half a square mile in area, surrounded by heavily forested land. The beach had a ten-foot-wide wharf, built by volunteers years earlier, that jutted fifty […]

Effectively immediately, I’m appointing Alison to be the next Chair, even though some faculty members are strongly against it. There are three reasons Ms. Alison Bailey is a controversial pick. 1) She’s only 29 years old, which would make her the youngest Chair in the history of this prestigious institution. 2) She comes from a wealthy family with ties to […]

I arrived home after being gone for five days at a summertime principals’ conference, since I’d just been promoted to vice-principal of the high school I’d been teaching at for the past twenty years. I was excited about my new professional opportunity, but also felt a little remorseful, since when school started up again in the fall I wouldn’t be […]

At the time, I was just another teenage boy looking for adventure. I had set off across the United States with next to nothing and was returning home in much the same fashion. I was carrying everything that I owned in a rolled-up sleeping bag. There I was, standing alone, facing the oncoming traffic. My arm was outstretched in the […]

We sat on the couch beside each other, simply sitting together, watching a movie on Netflix. Your phone vibrated on the couch beside you. I didn’t look at it as usual but you immediately picked it up and checked it, smirking slightly. I looked over at you suspiciously, but shrugged it off, laying my arm across your shoulders.

He had a tattoo on his left arm, on the elbow actually, of a spider web. While he fingered me I noticed it, as three fingers of his hand deliciously slid in and out of me. I grew wetter as I watched him, his face a vision of pure animal lust, and I begged for more. “Please” I whimpered, and […]

You sit up on the edge of the bed, grab the back of my head, and shove my mouth down on your morning wood until it is buried to the hilt. You then use me, forcibly pumping in and out until you have your first orgasm of the day. You’re usually still groggy so it takes a long time of […]

Stephen stopped on the sidewalk and looked up at the sun-soaked building ahead of him. The city’s art museum was an old building in an old district. Its weathered, pale stone facade and gothic embellishments didn’t look all that out of place around its neighbors. Small, well-groomed maple trees lined the grassy lawn separating the building from the road, interspersed […]

We’ve all had to find new ways of working, of being this last year. Our homes have expanded with fistfuls of windows, tiny snapshots on a screen, portals into the private worlds of our colleagues. There is a strange intimacy in this, even as an endless cycle of lockdowns have kept us distanced. The guy in accounting with really rather […]
