It had been a long week and finally they found time to make it to the gym. Over the years it got more and more difficult to get away from the daily grind. There wasn’t enough incentive for the pair to make a workout more than once or twice a month, even though the facilities…
Pink bubblegum rolls on my tongue as I walk along the black asphalt that’s still steaming from the warm August rain. I can feel it wet along the edges of my toes as they push forward in my white stiletto sandals, the leather damp and just beginning to stretch. The moisture is everywhere and the…
Chapter 1 It’s a nice, warm night. The stars are out and so are we. You are out with your friends, I am out with mine. By chance we end up at the same club, the little basement bar on the riverside. The dance floor is pretty full, the music is loud and the atmosphere…
Sweat glistens in pale light, blood boils to the surface turning to steam. Tears fall from pleasure tickling and teasing, twinging on pain. Vision blurs, chocking on air while desperate eyes roll back like heads in a child’s story. White hot screams as blood fly’s from the sky a whisper of what once was. Pale mirrors glisten in the moon light twisting into fragile smiles. Sanity fades, adrenaline spreads like…
Ashley set the last two bags of groceries on the kitchen counter and just stood for a moment. The weather forecaster had warned the elderly and infirm to find places of shelter today because of the impending heatwave, but she was a fit 20 year old college student. She lived alone in a cheap studio…
Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. The weights seemed to get heavier every time I lifted them. Up. Down. Up. Down. I began to breathe harder as I lifted the bar over and over, worried that my arms would eventually give out and the steel bar and the heavy weights on the ends would come…
A shot in the dark, a message received;How you want to give me exactly what I need. Never forgetting what I want from you;Complications are many that we must see through. Time creeping by, has it been so long?A need intense, as it grows so strong. Just the thought takes my breath away;Following that need,…
Palm trees whisper in the light breeze.The heat of the day is gone but moisture still clings to our bodiesand smells like who we really are.The night is navy blue and the moon rises out of the sea like so much perfect…. We lay on the sand.Your teeth bite my lips and your mouth smiles…
One hundred and sixty-four days. That was how long I had been single. That six months mark was coming up, and although I swore I didn’t care… it was glaringly untrue. It’s not like I had it marked on my calendar or anything. I kept track in my head, and perhaps that was worse. But…
Melissa closed to the door and walked into the front yard that looked like it hadn’t been cared for in a long time. Pulling her mobile phone from her handbag she called a taxi cab with a number she had programmed in so she would have it when needed. “Hi can I please get cab?”…
I always make it to work on time. I have a routine. Normally I hit the elevator by 7:15, but this day I was early as I stepped into the cab, the door began to close when suddenly a left hand slid into the crevice of the closing door and the doors sprang open. Her…
He was my first love, my first everything. We had a physical attraction as teenagers that no one could explain and as adults it was still there. There was nothing we didn’t do. When we were together it was as if no one else in the world existed. About 2 months ago, I saw him…
