Dale and Sandra, both sixty-eight-years-old, were enjoying a few days out from the care home. They booked into a hotel by the seaside and were spending the first day by the pool. They were both enjoying watching several teenage girls who were dressed in skimpy bikinis with their hair tied back in ponytails as they splashed about in the pool or lazed on sunbeds by the side. The girls were from a boarding school and were al...

When my former boss, John, left, the job just wasn’t the same anymore. I didn’t look forward to work like before when each day was so exciting. I missed those morning meetings and “coffee sessions” with John. So within a month I started looking for something new. I had a girlfriend whose husband worked for a company in the East Bay that was looking for some office workers. It was a large construction company and working f...

Her eyes are a field, soft and warm and green, and I imagine a sea of wildflowers growing within her corneas. Wild as the need in her gaze, a desire so far from banal only a truly demoralized slut can feed her hunger, and even then, only finitely. That’s me. The demoralized slut. I tongue my ballgag and it pacifies me. The ropes around my conjoined wrists keep me on my toes, stretched toward the ceiling. He is behind me....

Even with the night out with the girls, I still didn't feel better. It had been a week since I started seeing Arthur instead of Tina, and nothing had changed. I was beginning to think this pit I felt like I was falling into was never-ending.  Jordan had become my best friend even though Tina was right here in my town, and we got along great. Jordan was the one that always brought me back to reality. I had to do things for...

The king arrived back in the early evening on the third day.  He summoned his counsel and had them meet with him. “Where is the queen?”  he questioned them as he sat. “Sire, she is handling a situation at the moment and said that she will reunite with you at the dinner table.”  said one of the elders. Unable to fully concentrate on the updates from the counsel, the king dismissed everyone with the excuse of being weary an...

      The king and queen sat on their thrones and watched the last of the court exit the large wooden doors. The doors closed with a resounding boom that echoed through the throne room. Once the echos faded away, the king's shoulders sagged and his chin fell. “My queen,” the king said as he turned his head and looked into her eyes. “I am weary, I have taken the weight of the land upon my shoulders. I will ride out tomorro...

Dressed in black, corseted tightly, her spike heels chant omens. Her marble skin is cold to the touch but burns like ice. She speaks softly, her voice is sultry, her words precise, she walks proudly, she definitely is not for the faint of heart.  

It was late at night, around ten o'clock and that in common was the usual curfew time. The girls could hear local crowds of people from the outside laughing merrily and chatting gaily, as well as screaming about all sorts of nonsense. Folks around town never had consideration for those trying to get a bit of shut-eye indoors, but they never cared. Nobody cared in this town. This town had strip clubs, bars, and various ent...

“THAT FUCKING ASSHOLE!” I was screaming and completely beside myself on my sofa, heaving loud tears of utter bereavement as if someone had died. It felt as if I had died. I drew a ragged breath, hugging my legs close to my chest. My mind was running, running. Stabbing around to find false comfort in the new reality I was suddenly in while my heart disintegrated. I needed something desperately to hold on to – just to ancho...

I flung my bookbag across the room. Another shitty lecture. It was my second week of college, and it was not going well at all. The few friends I had come from high school with had immediately fit in with the other students, leaving me in the dust. I couldn't grasp any of the content that the professors were teaching. No luck finding a part-time job, and to make matters worse I was still a virgin. I know, I know, people s...

People never fail to surprise me. You can be married nearly twenty years, live with somebody, and share daily experiences, but still things will happen you didn’t expect. My wife is in her mid-fifties and I’m ten years older. I became disabled when I was her age and had to stop working. I know, it sounds like a great deal to some guys, like an early retirement. But the physical and psychological pain my condition causes k...

“Where am I?” He looked out at tall trees and knee-high grass of emerald green. Birds trilled in the high branches. A summer sun blazed golden in a pale, blue sky. Another thought followed. One that left a cold drip of fear to trickle down his spine. “Who am I?” A long moment of deep silence passed as he explored the blank areas of his mind. Something very close to panic began to boil in his chest. What happened? What was...
