Blip, blip, the sound was almost hypnotic as one article after another was scanned as I passed it in front of the scanner. My butt hurt, my legs were asleep, and I wanted to go on my break which had been delayed due to a rush of customers. “Cash or credit card?” I asked the construction worker in front of me. “Cash.” The fucker took out a fifty Euro bill to pay for a bun and a small bottle of water. The till opened and I...

“Honey, are you okay?” my husband Tommy asked. I looked away from the amazing view of the sea and smiled at him.“Yeah, I’m fine.” The speedboat bounced of the swells and picked up speed as it entered the calmer waters of a deep bay. Tommy pulled back and the boat went from planing to digging in. In front of us my parent’s villa came into view and I saw my dad walking down to the little dock that held his boat. It was a wa...

“Why did you do it?” “Are you ashamed? The questions came at us like machine gun fire. My sister and I covered our faces from the flashes and cameras pushed into our faces and the microphones. We made it to the limousine that was waiting for us and the last thing I heard while waiting for my sister to get in was a reporter saying, “We are here at the courthouse where twin Princesses Hanna and Petra have been exonerated fr...

The day the strap-on arrived, I invited Julia for dinner. Being a Spaniard, she usually ate late, but since she had to work the following morning, we decided on seven in the evening. Before she arrived, I took a long shower and shaved my pussy. For some reason, it was important to me to look nice for her. I dressed in a short summer dress with flowers and sandals on my feet. I skipped the bra and the panties because they...

I held the tea mug with both hands and looked at the rain pouring down from the heavens. It started vertical but as the wind kicked in it began to tilt and become more horizontal. I was safe on the balcony, only a few drops splashed onto my bare feet. Beyond the rain,I could make out the mountains of Sierra Nevada in Southern Spain. The building I stayed in only had six apartments and I was on the top floor in a corner su...

The wind howled around me and tore at the hoodie I had tied tight around my head. It was freezing and late in March with rain hanging in the air. I crossed the street aiming for the light of the restaurant I was heading to. The bright light inside offered warmth, a cold beer, good food and time with my co-workers. It was a farewell get together we had organized for a guy who was moving on in life. We had agreed that we co...

“Would you fuck her?” I almost choked on the handful of pop-corn I had just shoved into my mouth. After a coughing fit I wheezed, “What are you talking about?” Bella pointed at the LED screen in front of us. “The vampire chick, would you fuck her?” Bella usually didn’t use foul language, so I guessed the question was serious. I looked at the pale teenager on the screen. “I guess, she isn’t ugly and she has a nice body.” “...

Bianca Tortellini walked along the empty beach with the sun behind her. It was already warm even though it wasn’t even seven in the morning. She held her heels in her left hand and a half-smoked cigarette in her other. She could still feel the buzz from all the booze she had had the previous night. Her white dress hugged her tall body showing off her curvy figure. She wasn’t one of those anorexic model types but a full-fi...

Cindy Hammons walked around the corner ready to cross the street to her building where she lived with her boyfriend Fred. They had moved in the week before and she enjoyed living in the city. She looked both ways before crossing, rolling her makeup bag behind her. She had just a few hours to grab something to eat before she was off to her next appointment. Cindy was a makeup artist. Mostly she did weddings and some theatr...

Seb, or Sebastien, which was his full name, locked his Cannondale mountain bike and stood up. It was the first day of school after the summer break. His fellow students were dropped off by parents around him, and some who had gotten their driving licenses drove themselves. Only a few used a bike. One was Seb’s best friend, who came rolling along the sidewalk on a ten-speed racing bike.   “I thought you said you were getti...

My eyes fluttered open and I instantly regretted opening them. The harsh sunlight burned into the retinas and I moaned at the pain that shot through my head. Taking a deep breath, I did an internal inventory. No need to go to the bathroom, my legs hurt a little but the major issue was a pounding headache. It was the red wine from the previous night’s BBQ. It was self-inflicted so there was no point in whining about it. I...

Hanna   My eyes were gritty from the long flight and my body felt like a paper clip as I made my way along the aisle in the airplane. People were pushing and trying to get off as fast as possible. A baby began to cry behind me and it had been doing so on and off over the nine-hour flight. My dad was right behind me. “C’mon, get a move on.” “I’m trying, but there are some old people up front who are taking ages to get out...

“What’s life like as a Single Pringle?” asked my friend Laura over a cup of coffee. It was a miserable day in January. Outside the cafe’s window, the snow was whirling and people walked doubled over against the wind. My cheeks were still burning from the cold and I was pretty sure Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer could have called me his sister. “I’m rattling around alone at the bottom of the can. My edges are slowly crumbli...

It was a warm day in June and the little beach area on the lake was busy with families. The kiosk had a line with children waiting to buy ice cream or sodas. Teens played soccer or sat in groups talking. The school year was over and everyone was happy. On a knoll a bit away from everyone else, just where the forest began, lay two teenaged girls. A blonde and a brunette. The blonde was on her back and the brunette on her s...

Pete was concerned. He nibbled on a nail and paced the little bedroom while looking down at the sleeping woman on the bed. She hadn’t moved in hours but her breathing was steady and she didn’t seem to have a fever. He had found her in the woods three days earlier and carried her all the way back to his cabin. It had been hard work since she was heavier than she looked. He figured her to be around five feet eight inches, s...
