Rick likes to make omelets, and I like to watch him. He has a ritual: gathering the ingredients from the refrigerator, settling them in the burner of the stovetop that he won’t be using, frying up the meat – bacon or sausage or ham – setting it aside and finally cutting up the vegetables. He […]
It’s been another busy day at my shop again and I am looking forward to getting some things done after I close. There are about 3 groups of people browsing and I don’t mind that I may be staying open longer than the next 15 minutes I have left. I usually close at 5 but […]
I sat in the glow of my computer monitor, my glasses halfway down my nose, typing rapidly. I heard a sound from behind me. I ignored it. “Sandy.” “This isn’t a good time, Kevin. I’m working.” “Sandy.” I turned. He stood leaning against the doorjamb, his right hand tucked under his left arm. He was […]
Erin and Carla shared a flat; they had been best friends for years and had traveled the world backpacking together. Single and carefree, they would be out raging most nights of the week, never afraid to be brazen or overly sexy in their outfits. The two blonds cut quite a delectable picture when they entered […]
The evil taxman woke up slowly. He hadn’t slept very well, and he suspected he knew why. His bed was just too convenient for trysts. It was out of the way; therefore the participants were unlikely to be interrupted. It was just the right height. It was sturdy, easily able to hold two bodies. And […]

I have a very good friend. She is comfortable to talk to. We talk about books, people we have known, and things we would like to do someday. She pays attention to the things I have to say, which is very flattering. Even nicer, she shares her feelings with me, which makes me feel privileged, […]
It’s such a pleasant October morning that I decide to go for a walk through the park by the lakes. Hurriedly I shower and dress, picking a blouse and long, loose skirt. It seems as if I am in the trees in no time at all, as I walk with the sun shining warmly on […]
It is quite possible that the two of them met in their dreams while sitting in a hotel bar towards closing time one lunch-hour. They both sat there, lost in their own independent thoughts, their glasses practically drained on the shiny surface of the bar, their plates pushed to one side. Teresa was remembering how […]
“Look, I really don’t want you to come over, okay? “But, but baby?” “Jimmy, you know I love you, but you know how bad I get PMS just before and then feel like total crap for a couple of days when I start.” “But Bay-Bee, you know I don’t care about.” “Yeah, I actually know […]
