James, Devon, and I met in university. We were randomly assigned as housemates in a co-ed dorm in a giant Victorian house on campus. Other housemates came and went, but we became really tight and stayed the whole four years. Somehow, the three of us never hooked up. Even with all the partying, late night hangouts, and falling asleep in […]

It’s a bright, warm Saturday. The sunlight outside gives off warmth that people enjoy basking in, taking in the clean, fresh air. A lot of others are wandering around the streets too, just like a certain black haired boy and his best friend. The two of them are side by side as they walk past all the places they have […]

The fox casually strolled through the forest enjoying the warm sun on his back as he scanned the trees around him. His nose twitched as he caught the sent of his prey. A sly grin crept across his face. He began to crouch and push through the underbrush creeping towards the clearing. That was when he saw him. The rabbit […]

I wasn’t feeling too swift when I got up but we had a test in Mrs. Henderson’s civics class and being an 18 year old senior I felt I should set a good example and head off to school. I caught a ride in with my twin sister Pam and slumped into my homeroom seat just before the morning bell. […]

A clique of women chattered outside the Southern Wing’s only bathroom. Dressed in fashions the mund world called ‘Hot Topic Goth’, their look was cutting the edges in a hidebound institution like the University of Sypretes. Their hips jutted out of black capris or spiked belts, cigarettes perched in their fingers when not stuck between black lipstick. Every so often, […]

On the way to Bali, we had decided to go first to Jogyakarta and visit the temple of Borobodur, return to Jakarta and from the airport go directly to Bali for two full weeks, then spend three days in Jakarta before going back to Europe. I’m single and I’ ve never ruled out the possibility of meeting someone in one […]

It all started in my senior year of high school, shortly after my 18th birthday. I was alone in the house, as my parents had gone out. Bored, I began looking through the book shelves. “Women’s Health: A Nursing Guide” I froze. I somehow felt compelled to look. And there towards the middle of the book, I saw it. A […]

It was the town’s festival weekend and the family had all been out enjoying the parade and then a few jars at the local public house. His mother was tipsy, his father plastered, and when they finally got him home, he had retired upstairs to sleep it off. ‘Drunken old bugger,’ his mum had commented. Downstairs, she had lit a […]

Shit, shit, shit… Matt knew he had made the biggest mistake of his life and now the owner of the facilities firm he worked for wanted to see him immediately. He stood and proceeded towards Dan Connors’ office. His mind was racing; there was no way Dan could have found out. As the Accountant and General Manager only Matt ever […]

I hated coming back here. This town held so many bad memories for me. I promised myself that I’d never return after the scene that occurred from my last visit. But here I am, driving through this fucking rain, to attend a wedding of the woman who hated me. How can a person blame their child, their flesh, and blood […]
