It was good to see Father again but at the same disappointing, as he looked comfortable with Gemma's mum, Mrs Leighton. I was beginning to fear that Sally had permanently abandoned me, leaving me in the sixth circle of hell with Mother. I lay back on my bed pondering a future of eternal anguish when a dynamic sound somehow magically animated the lifeless structure of our house. It could only have been Sally, and I sat up...

"Buttercookie Beach is a real shitty place this time of year. It's just too fucking hot. Tourist season has officially ended, and the only people here are businessmen who work for companies shitty enough to book these resorts during the cheapest time of the year. Buttercookie Beach has a tourist economy, so naturally, everything is closed. There are no bars, no restaurants, no live entertainment. Nothing. It's hot and the...

If one wanted to observe the embodiment of the term; ‘built like a brick shithouse,’ then Ratchet would be the perfect example. Six- foot-four-tall, he was broad in every aspect of his physique and facial features. Ratchet’s real name was Richard, and he was a diesel mechanic. He got the nickname as a result of a malapropism at technical college when one of his fellow students referred to him in error as Ratchet. Everyone...

“Loosen up, girl!” Lynn sighed, unfolding…then refolding her arms. It was Saturday night, and she was sitting in a booth of a crowded club, drinks pouring and bass pounding. She was wearing (against her will) a black halter dress with basically no back and no skirt, her left arm showing off her almost-finished tattoo sleeve and her right leg showing off the outline of another sleeve. The only compromise she was able to ma...

As I left the house, Stefan was waiting in the car. He looked sort of normal. Strangely, it was the most normal I have seen him look lately. “I have some whiskey at home. We could maybe watch a movie or something?” he said. I was silent, still in shock from what I witnessed just a few minutes before. Stefan was backing out from our driveway, and I felt panic reaching record levels as the car moved away from the house. The...

My phone pinged again. That distinctive alert that told me I had another incoming media. I've come to hate that damned app. It was an all-too-often reminder of what I've created.   I've got a beautiful wife and have always loved showing off her gorgeous figure. She certainly doesn't mind and said she thought of it as innocent fun. One of my favorites is when she puts on a short skirt with lacy undies and go out to a bar t...

It was a day much like this; clear, calm and mild, almost exactly a year ago when I stopped off at my girlfriend’s place to drop off some meals I had prepared. It had been a cold morning, only five or six degrees Celsius, and was still very cool when I got home at 10.00 a.m. from my part-time job. However, it had warmed up as the day progressed and while not balmy was a pleasant temperature. My girlfriend had a few months...

I wasn’t sure if I’d ever see Rose again.  I’d met her off an online dating site and even after we had the most timid of sexual encounters, she still declined to give me her number.  In the afterglow, we talked about getting together again.  Even the suggestion of anal sex as an alternative to stripping Rose of her virginity wasn’t completely rejected.  Rose’s biggest concern remained her uninformed belief that sperm coul...

Mark was outside on the patio having coffee when his brother, Tony, came outside. “Did you sleep well?” Mark asked. “Like a baby,” Tony laughed. “Of course, it might be because you’re looking at a seventy-two-year-old man who came three times last night.” Mark grinned, “In three different holes, if I’m not mistaken.” “Jesus, Mark, I’ve never experienced anything like that in my life. You know I had a great marriage and El...

I met Ann online. We chatted for a while and finally decided to meet. Against all odds, we hit it off pretty well and in a matter of weeks, we became a couple. The first few months were like wedded bliss, romantic dates, and outings, doing almost everything together. And of course the sex. Sex was incredible. Well, at least as far as I could tell, being young and very inexperienced. Ann was the same age as me, but it was...

Gemma kicked her leg, to try to free herself from whatever had looped itself around her left ankle, but to no avail. Then she tried to untangle herself by using her right foot to push it off. But then she felt something hook around that leg as well, coiling itself around her ankle. And the more she kicked and struggled, the tighter it held her. She kicked her legs again, trying to escape from the rubbery things that were...

After my little encounter with her in my classroom, Jenna became very friendly, maybe too friendly. She would constantly show up in my room and she was always wearing a big smile. The fact that we shared the same planning period made it easier for us to have “special” time. I was concerned that she was catching feelings, so I tried to put some distance between us, but this was to no avail. I remembered Jenna as a student,...

Week One This past Friday, June 4, I was surfing through Craig's List ads and saw an add asking for a fellow Life Coach student to work with for training purposes. I initially put it off and did not respond but really glad I changed my mind. I emailed giving a brief summary of my background including a Master's Degree in Counseling. I also included that I'm certified in Reality Therapy and Choice Theory. I closed with my...
