All characters depicted are above the age of 18 years or older. Maxwell Baez is a Texas Ranger in the not-too-distant future who has been enhanced with advanced biotechnology. In the late twentieth century, Texas Rangers were more akin to highway patrol, performing a range of law enforcement functions. The chaos of the global economic collapse of '94, wars in Latin America and state secession pushed the Rangers to expand...

Everyone and everything pissed me off. Hyperbolic, since I clearly wasn’t tired enough to decline my boy’s invitation that night. The past few months, my physical presence in his life became infrequent, so rather than another rejection, I indulged for once. I wondered, however, if I made the correct decision, because when I arrived at the location, sent via Google Maps, I found a three-story house with music blaring and p...

Hi, I’m Emma Ruiz, a shy 23-year-old with olive skin, brown eyes that have a hint of green in the right light, and curly brown hair I usually keep knotted up. This is the wild story of what happened to me in the summer of 2025. A summer so unforgettable that it’s burned into my mind and the minds of the boys at camp, culminating in that surreal moment when I stood waving goodbye to Johan and Eric, watching their parents’...

I woke up naked and rolled over to find Marcus nowhere to be seen. I sat up and stretched my arms over my head, still feeling a bit sore from everything we got up to last night. I heard the water of the shower, so I started to have an idea that I should go surprise him and give him a little show. I walked into the closet and looked for some of my sexiest lingerie. “Aha! This one!” I said to myself as I reached out for my...

Texas was the first to declare independence when martial law was imposed on the citizens of the old US. Given the wars in Central America along with the economic collapse, the "Gang of Four" ruling Washington could do little to stop the states in the west and southwest from declaring secession. A shoot-on-sight policy was implemented for curfews, which led to dozens of incidents involving US troops firing on civilians. Ev...

17 years later. Jayson stirred as the morning sun shone through the curtains of his beach cottage. The sea breeze wafted them upwards, and the dawn of a new day filled the room. The air was fresh and crisp, birdsong surrounded him, and waves gently crashed on the shore nearby. He collected his thoughts as he lay there, then turned to a flow of long auburn hair cascading over the pillow next to him. He took a deep breath a...

The pool hall was a sultry den of low light and primal energy, the air heavy with the scent of bourbon, chalk dust, and unspoken desire. The clack of billiard balls mingled with the throaty hum of laughter, creating a pulse that thrummed through my body. My tight black dress clung to every curve, the silky fabric stretching taut over my lush hips and big, heavy breasts, the deep V-neck revealing a teasing swell of cleavag...

It was Monday, early evening. One day had passed since he had slept with Emily, two days since he had slept with Tanya. Tonight, this mess would come to an end one way or another. He had been a nervous wreck all day, unable to concentrate on his job, hounded by the prospect of what he had to do that evening. He was fully prepared for the likely outcome that they would both dump him. That was what he deserved for not havin...

This is a Cyberpunk-themed story. In this universe, the global community is devastated by a global stock market collapse in 1994. Poverty, homelessness, and unemployment spike across the world. A series of mega-corporations grows increasingly dominant in geopolitics, takes territory around the world and employs soldiers or mercenaries to fight wars for them. The U.S. political system was taken over by the intelligence ser...

Emily walked out of the grocery store, awkwardly carrying her slightly-too-heavy bag of groceries. She should have had the foresight not to buy so much in one trip, but she was all distracted today. It felt weird to return to normal life after the excitement of her date with Sam. She just couldn’t stop thinking about him. She wanted to see him again, to cuddle him and kiss him and… maybe more. But she had adulting to do,...

Chapter 5: Sex for Breakfast SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON, FIVE YEARS EARLIER... I’m twenty-one years old. I miss the old Comic-Con, from when I was a kid. Artist panels, big personalities, culture and community coming together in celebration. These days, it’s just a public circle-jerk for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or low-hanging fruit for short-form content creators that need you to “Smash that Like button!” Kill me now. The...

Chapter 4: Best First DatePRESENT DAY When Annie and I finally stepped back out into the living room, the other couples were nowhere to be seen. I say “seen” because there was plenty going on that we could hear. A rising choir of grunts, moans, and mattress springs reverberated through the walls of the two bedrooms on either side of us. The sounds of sex, now in stereo. We stifled a giggle after a particularly loud “Fuck...
