Jen dozed lazily in the bright Saturday morning sun, not quite awake, not quite asleep. Thick curtains spilling shafts of glare around her bedroom, drifting her in and out of the particular erotic dream state. Nipples erect under the oversized Disney Tee, a hand snaked over and idly toyed, the fuzzy warming creeping up her spine. The dream was fading […]

I have a lot of family from San Diego and was visiting for a week or so from what I remember. I was on my way out, but had a snag. I didn’t want to catch back up with family; the ones out there are assholes for the most part. I got on craigslist, like I had many times before […]

I got ready for bed, slipping off my clothes, then I turned off the light and curled my naked body up in bed facing the window. I looked up at the second floor bedroom of the house on the other side of the fence. For the first time in a few weeks it was lit up. The mustard yellow walls […]

The latest message from that nice man you’ve been chatting with: Here are your instructions: – From now on you will always sleep naked. – You will leave your front door unlocked when you go to sleep. – You will answer this message with a message detailing your full name, and your address.

Frank got home latter than expected. He gave his boss some excuse of a flat tire. Even though his shift manager was a total bitch to him, outside of her they got along great. It was like she had two different personalities, one for work, and then the real her. He had actually thought she might be into him but […]

Sunlight sprawls out over the grey-white beach, coating each grain in a pearl-like sheen. The rest is less poetic.

I find refuge under the stall of a merchant, a gently […]

I was just getting home from closing at the coffee shop and was beat. It was 2 a.m. we had to stay late because someone was passed out from doing heroin in the bathroom. My shift lead had been occupied with that and waiting for the police to show up, whilst my other coworker had to leave at 10:00 because […]

Charmaine was the one who didn’t drink or smoke or do any drugs. Her idea of a wild night was overdosing on orange soda. She was teasingly called the only girl who could get drunk on orange soda. If I had been asked which of my female friends was certain not to have sex before marriage, it would be Charmaine. […]

“Strip.” “Whaat?” “Disrobe.” “Is this a joke?” “Lady, take off your clothes.” “Why would I do that?” “You’re here, aren’t you?” “So what?”

The door to my apartment blew open, and Molly flung herself through it like an April thunderstorm. I set a pot of water to boil and wiped my hands on a dishtowel. By the time I got to the living room, Molly had already thrown her jacket in one corner, her shoes in another, and herself across my recliner. “What, […]
