As an App-based driver, I never knew what my next fare might entail. On this particular day, I was sent to a corporate building in the heart of the city where I made contact with a very smartly dressed woman in business attire. Her hair was tightly pulled...
It had been a number of months that my Aunt Rachel had been serving me as my slave. Her daughter lived in the dorms at a nearby college but would periodically come home when her budget got tight, meaning that she’d raid the refrigerator, do laundry, etc....
This past year has been quite the rollercoaster for me – not so many ups and a whole lot of downs. Both of my parents were killed suddenly leaving me to fend for myself. I was twenty-three years old and had just been accepted into graduate school for psyc...
Growing up as a single child, I never wanted for anything from my parents. They were both loving, supportive parents. They had a traditional “Leave it to Beaver” type relationship. Dad would go off to work each day and my mother was a stay at home wife. H...
You can literally say that Rob and I have known each other our entire lives. Our parents were next door neighbors and we were born three days apart. We grew up as “non-identical twins born by separate parents”. We were brothers in all ways but biological....
There was a knock at the door. I wasn’t expecting anyone but opened it just the same. There stood my step-son’s fiancé: Alyson. They were to be married in three days. She was cute and we hit it off the first day we met. She stood about 5’5”, weighed about...
I know I’m a very lucky man. Years ago, when I met my wife-to-be I could see almost immediately she was the woman for me. Besides being very attractive, smart, funny and caring, I was able to fully trust her judgement (except the decision to take me on in...
My twenty year old son’s girlfriend was a regular bitch. She was constantly in his face yelling at him. He seemed to be unable to ever do anything right, and I couldn’t understand why he tolerated it. One day she was especially giving him a hard time befo...
Four years ago, my son - Ethan, was born. We needed a babysitter for those times when we went out or would be late returning from work. We had a neighbor's girl named Jules that was highly recommended and mature for her 14-years of age. She really hit it...
I was working in my back yard doing some of the gardening that I had put off for too long when I heard a quiet “help!” I looked over my neighbor’s fence and didn’t see anyone. Again, I heard another quiet, “help!” My neighbors had a small shed that they u...
It all started out innocently enough. My newlywed wife and I were at a friend’s pool party. Plenty of alcohol had been ingested and everyone was having a good time. One of the people there was an old roommate of my wife in college. They had started living...
I was in town for a business meeting on a Friday afternoon. While the meeting went extremely well, it would require me to stay the weekend so that I could finalize things early Monday morning. To somewhat celebrate the success, I went to a local steak hou...
About three years ago I had to take a short trip to San Francisco for business. It had been a pretty successful meeting and I’d be flying back to Philadelphia in the morning. To pass the time I’d gone down to the hotel bar for a drink or two. As I was sit...
I’d recently moved to a new town and hadn’t had the opportunity to buy a new washing machine/dryer. So off I went to find a local laundromat to get some of my clothes clean.Having found a laundromat close by me I began doing my clothes.Shortly thereafter...
My wife and I enjoy a somewhat traditional style of marriage. While I enjoy her counsel, I make all of the decisions in our marriage. When we started dating I had made the joke that we’d get along fine as long as she called me “Master”. She has called me...
