One summer our parents decided to take the family on an "off the grid" vacation. No TV. No internet. No portable consoles. No phones! "You guys never spend any quality time together these days," they told my sister and me. "And when you do see each other all you seem to do is fight. This vacation is a chance for the two of you to reconnect, start over and forge a new relationship." So off we all went to a cabin in the mid...

  Mandy and I had been friends since elementary school. Playing and cheering together. Commiserating over toxic relationships. Even going away to college together. Now in our early thirties, we had drifted apart with emails our only communication. Mandy moved to the mythical land of Orlando while I stayed here, teaching and freezing in northern Ohio. But, absence really does make the heart grow fonder as I discovered when...

My uncle, a doctor, hoped I would be a minister. A strange thought. You see, he spent much of his life in the developing world on a religious mission to eradicate polio. He saved lives and brought happiness to the world. He also prayed for those who suffered. I’m different. I had given myself fully to the practical and not the spiritual.

January – Sent Out It was January, and it was snowing. It was cold, and during the night the snowflakes formed a huge white blanket on the streets and buildings. I was going to dress up to go out to go grocery shopping, but Mistress was a bit displeased by my behavior of the previous evening.

He could see it now as she stood before him, her long legs wide and her blonde hair loose around her shoulders, letting him cup her wet pussy in his outstretched hand. He sat leaning towards her in his...

My neighbor Jan is thirty-seven, married with two teenage daughters. Her body is in excellent shape and I have always found her to be exceptionally attractive. Yet there was something much more about the way she affected me. I would find myself glued to my windows at times when I knew she would be going to or coming home from work, just to catch a glimpse of her. I knew this was weird but I thought about her nearly all th...

David walked in to the office still feeling sore from his caning the day before. Susan had had control of him for just four days but had found three separate occasions to spank him, and the caning yesterday was the worst so far. He had to tell himself the worst so far as Susan made it clear she will step up the severity of punishment if his behaviour didn’t improve. David got to the office at 8 O’clock which is well befor...
