The midday rush of people frantically making their way to or from lunch swarmed around Kelly as she dodged along the wide, hot sidewalk. Her muted apologies (Sorry!, Excuse me!, I'm so sorry!) were smothered by the buzzing of conversations, traffic and the sound of the world around her. At a little over five feet tall and a tiny bit under 110 pounds, she felt like a (Duck? Water bug? Hamster in a hamster ball thing?) figh...

Over the next few weeks, David and Kelly restarted their relationship. Slowly. Carefully. On the third date after that night, Kelly wore the same outfit - outside of her apartment. At first, she refused to look at anyone around her but as the night wore on, she raised her head and started smiling again. When an older couple remarked on what a handsome couple they were, Kelly grinned with her teeth and pressed up against D...

Gnarled roots snare my ankles; protruding rocks scrape my shins and bruise my weary toes. I struggle upwards through dense vegetation, skirting stinging trees, hacking through vines, my eyes peering ever high into the canopy, fervently following the bright swathe cut by the torch strapped to my forehead. Leeches cling in vain; insects bite for no return. I brush them away with mild disgust, dashing their swollen guts into...

Jake sat on a bench outside the larger of his town's two malls, watching a video on Youtube called "The Top Five Goombas." Jake was short for a man, barely reaching 5'7". His skin was white, with a slight red tinge to it. He wondered where it was from, not having been in sunlight long enough to get even a tan. It didn't help that is was cloudy and looked about to rain. His hair resembled that of Shaggy's from Scooby-Doo a...

I had known for a long time that I was in love with my sister. I first realized it when I returned home from school one day, aged 14, in tears. I had told a friend that I liked her “more than a friend” and, predictably, it didn't go as I had planned. I lay on my bed that afternoon, head buried in pillows, refusing to talk to anyone. That was, until my sister came home from her school. She came into the room quietly and cl...

The newspaper, and other media have been broadcasting: “The End Of The World was coming on December 21, 2012. Now just imagine, the world is going to be destroyed and it’s your last day on Earth. Where would you go, what would you do, how will you spend your last day?"Corporal Joshua Beningham’s tour of duty in Iraq was coming to an end and he would be flying back home to the USA. However, since the news of the world endi...

Going Further by alexcarr I first met Kevin in Morrisons supermarket, he was just another till cashier but it seemed most every time I did my weekly shop I saw him there, happily doing his work.At the time I thought nothing of it that I liked him. I guess because of his cheerful and spirited manner, so every time I shopped at Morrisons I made sure I was in the queue to be checked out by Kevin.It came to the point where he...

The whole plane trip to Idaho was uncomfortably silent. Michael nor his mother said one word to each other the whole way. To Michael, everything had just fallen apart. Having just turned eighteen and finished his sophomore year at high school, Michael had felt like the future was totally open for him. Then his father and mother had a nasty and bitter divorce that resulted in both he and his mother being forcefully ejected...

The Road is uncertain ahead, but I have no fear. Moonlight guided my every step, setting the dark cobblestones aglow. I move forward and the doubt from my soul eases. For far too long now, I shielded myself from the worldStemming from the insecurity that, once upon a time, defined me –My heart is scarred, my soul, while not broken, heaves with weight. I thought I knew what I was and who I was to become.I thought that my l...

I never knewI could miss someone more than my heroOr that I would want to be heldI never knewAnyone could make me believe I'm specialOr that I mean anythingI never knewWords could mean so much to meOr that they would change how I feelI never knewTalking could make miles melt awayOr that I would want them toI never knewAny of this could happenOr that you would be the reasonI never knewI would fall for you

Don’t you go changing for anyone not even me.Because you are a unique treasure even if you can not see it. For some unknown reason you think all you do is take.But I am telling you that idea is a big mistake. You give far more than you will ever know.That is why I will never want you to go. I bet you don’t know I feel very honored all due to you.Because you show me all the parts of yourself that are true. I think I might...

I used to take pleasure in my many obsessions. Fine tuning each one till it reached perfection. Creative outlets for every idea. Did all the work myself never had to beg, borrow or steal. I planned and I grew and climbed each ladder. Reached the top of every endeavor. Boredom would still creep up on me slowly. Every decade or so I changed my career wholly. Time went on as I achieved every desire. Maintaining it all I neve...

Transforming into airI want to fill your lungs with everything I am as If I wasn't even there.And I'd inspire you to writewith the stroke of my breeze against your cheekTransforming into waterI want to be in your shower and be the main ingredient of your morning teaAnd I'd soothe you when you're downplaying serenades on your windows and tin roofTransforming into earthI want to lie beneath as you hop above with your giggle...

We had already been living together for two years, but it was now when I realized my girlfriend loves to show off her little ass  to all men.  To confirm this was true, she told me she used to draw the doorman's attention in the building where we were living now, by shaking her ass before his eyes. I've already read many erotic stories, but the majority of them I found to be unreal, imaginary, and I still can't tell wheth...
