One warm summer day, my neighbor who lives behind me is out on her back step. I’m inside my house reading a book. She sees me in the window and waves to me. She’s a slim, fit, blonde. She is wearing tight shorts and a light and loose tank top, and clearly no bra. She has small boobs, and her […]

Thane and Ruï. She finished writing their names in the sand. The sound of the waves crashing. The silhouette of flying birds above. The smell of salt and sea. It was home. She could hear his footsteps coming closer till he was right beside her. No doubt looking down at her doodles.

He’s discovered I like making love in his closet. I’ve been in there a million times and it does nothing to me when I’m alone. The smell isn’t him but it reminds me of him. The first time, I held his hand and pulled him inside. “Lights on or off?” I asked. Confused, he simply picked – it’s both his […]

Sunday night I came home from work a bit earlier than I thought I would and apparently earlier than my mom and stepdad thought I would as well. When I pulled up to the house I noticed the dogs outside, and when I came in through the garage the dog door was closed. This is a sure sign they are […]

Every Sunday I called my father in Florida. Usually it was small talk, making sure we were all, myself my wife and my mother, in stable, if not the greatest health. My mother and father were in their eighties. My wife suffered a severe stroke over a year ago so we generally talked about her progress. Tammy was older than […]

I put on my long pink dress and drove up into the mountains on that misty morning. I even put on a little eyeliner to feel extra pretty. I’d been feeling hidden and hiding some of my feelings in a back pocket of my own. I wanted to expose myself. I needed to free my feelings. The national forest was […]

I knocked on the door, the purple paint standing out against the olive concrete walls of the business park. My hand felt a squeeze, and I gave my wife Cathy a smile. I watched her eyes dart between the door and our car, then return to me. Squeezing her back with my free arm, the door opened. “Welcome! Please come […]

Abigail Greenwood sat on the large corner sofa at her in-law’s house sipping a glass of champagne with her husband Ben and the rest of his family. They were there, spending the afternoon, helping celebrate his parents 28th wedding anniversary before Ben drove them to the airport to fly out for a short break at a five-star hotel in Italy. […]
