I came home from school, third year elementary. The house was empty. My mom was there usually, but not that day. Something was off, but I didn’t know what. I fixed a sandwich, ate, did my homework. No mom. Turned on the TV. Watched the news. A tragic accident. A bus hit a car. Not many details. Went to bed. […]

Many years ago, I was a young junior doctor working in a provincial town in The North of England. I was employed on a one in three rota in Medicine which meant I worked every third night and every third weekend on call, and for this privilege I had my own room to live in in the doctor’s accommodation and […]

The contrast between me and my sister Melanie could not have been more pronounced. She’s two and a half years older than I am, and for as long as I could remember, she had been the apple of everyone’s eye. It helped that she was tall and slim, pretty and clever, good at school, successful at sports, and popular with […]

My unsuspecting friend, Danny, had no idea that he was going to have a special guest at his Halloween party this year. He probably thought that by inviting me, I would be in just another store-bought costume mingling about his house. It’s true that I bought my costume at a Halloween pop up store, but I was not going to […]

The old woman lifted the bottle against the light filtering through the chapel’s stained glass windows. Her lips pursed, and she sent Caleb a skeptical look. “This here’s holy water, then? Looks no different than the stuff from the well.” “It is from the well,” Caleb said. “But I prayed to the goddess overnight so she would infuse it with […]

Lesli was my wife’s dearest friend. She and Amanda may have been Sorority Sisters, but they had become like true sisters since their undergraduate days ended over 5 years ago. Though their lives had taken divergent paths, their friendship maintained the same course. Lesli was a gorgeous full-blooded Mexican, but one couldn’t tell at first glance. Though fluent in Spanish, […]

I had always thought my neighbor Belinda was attractive, even after she got glasses. She was well-proportioned, with long black hair, ample tits, a round ass, and nice legs. She looked good in a swimsuit. But even as a kid, she had been the prettiest girl in first grade. Belinda had been my neighbor since elementary school. Everyone called her […]

At work Jess sat in a shared office with 5 others. The others were all far older than Jess being at least in their forties, married with kids. Jess got on well with everyone. Mary her manager seemed to like her and often favoured her for trips, which she used to her advantage, taking a few toys away with her […]

In the beginning, I was sure that Simon’s sad story of how his cramped little Studio apartment was ruining his life. It sounded like a bunch of hocus pocus to me when he claimed that he couldn’t get a girlfriend because he lived in a shoebox and he was sure that his Murphy bed was haunted. I mean it on […]

Memoir of a Truck Ride. ‘So tell me about the trucker guy again.’ We were lying in bed, my wife Lily and I. She wore nothing except a pair of lemon coloured knickers. I wore nothing. We cuddled close. The heating was turned down for the night and the bedroom, while not cold, was chilly now.
