"After 20 years, he was even better than before--and I still couldn't have him, but maybe I could have a taste."
I had not seen him in over 20 years. We were to meet in the city for three precious hours. Enough time to let the other’s presence sink in, but not enough time to really get into trouble. You see,...
"Aaron meets Crispin in the library"
He doesn’t email me before 4th period but I go to the library anyway, slipping away from my usual crowd before it can even form. I’m neither the ringleader nor the clown, so no one will come looking for me....
"If this was what Christmas Eve looked like, he wasn't sure he'd survive Christmas morning."
The silence was worse than the teasing. At least when Eve was there, the torment had a shape: her voice, her skin, the cruel geometry of her body just out of reach. Now there was only the clock, counting minutes...

"Peggy Sue proves a cock slut beats a cheerleader every time!"
Several guys had asked Peggy Sue to her high school senior prom, but she had her eyes on bigger game. Craig McAdams was the football quarterback, the cutest guy in the class, and all-around BMOC. The only roadblock was Janie...
"Helping the homeless and downtrodden while having fun!"
I had just retired at seventy after a very successful career in real estate and had bought a nice beach house to live out my golden years in. I rode out a real estate boom in Florida and had worked...
"Pleasant surprise in a new city on the very first day"
Chris eased his car under the hotel’s covered entrance, the engine’s low purr fading into the quiet night. He stepped out, drawn by the golden light spilling from the windows, the murmur of laughter and clinking glasses pulling him toward...
"Christmas wasn't looking good until her"
Waves washed up around my feet as I walked along the beach. I paused and knelt, studying a hermit crab. A shadow fell over the little creature.“You seem fascinated by the crabs,” said a female voice. She had an accent,...
