It sounded like a good weekend getaway. Brandi’s parents were going out of town, and they needed someone to watch the dogs. They had a house in the mountains. We got there early Friday afternoon. Her parents left, and we had the place to ourselves. It had been in the high 20’s, and about 4pm, it started snowing like crazy.…

You know what happened to me the other night? I went out drinking with Jill, a friend of mine, and we ran into some guys we know. We sat around drinking and talking for a long time. I don’t drink much, and after a while I was really, really drunk and feeling funny. I suspect that there was something potent …

Jem Alaasha slowly paced the small, confined, featureless space in an endless, pointless procession. Six measured paces, turn to the left, six measured paces, turn to the left, over and over, just as she had done since awakening in this empty, padded box some infinite time before.

My wife was at work and I just wanted to putter around the house today. In the driveway was my older sisters …

I. My Cherokee girl Do you love someone? Did you ever…? Sometimes I don’t know and I doubt I ever did. “Love” is a word, not a feeling… And can you describe feelings by saying out loud what is going inside you? I also do not know the answer to that question. You live and you feel, that’s all I …

The summer before I started my senior year of high school I took a job as a baby-sitter for the Simmons Family. Mr. Simmons was my eighth grade history teacher. All my girl friends were jealous. Most of the girls in his class had a crush on him and dreamed of having sex with him, myself included. “Anna, you bitch! …

As we drove to the school, I decided to see if Mark would answer a question. ‘Mark?’ I began. ‘Yes,’ he responded, still looking out the window. ‘Why are you doing this?’ I asked. ‘Doing what?’ ‘Doing this to me,’ I continued. ‘I mean, at first’before this started’I thought you might have a ‘crush’ or infatuation for me, but that’s …

This was absolutely the last straw. The last couple of times Billy got beaten up at his junior high school, there was really not much I could do. Children can be awfully cruel, and aside from advising him to stay out of the troublemakers’ way (and failing that, try to reason with his harassers), I had to accept that this …
