“I can explain,” he pleaded, though it came out more like, “I cah eshlaih,” with his mouth stretched around the barrel of my shotgun. I raised my eyebrows, dark rage bubbling inside. “Explain?!” I spat. “Oh, this ought to be good. Let me guess, you came round to balance the books, tripped on the rug, your clothes fell off, and you landed in my miraculously naked wife?” Bryce held up his hands and shook his head against th...
An hour each Wednesday is our time of loveafter I check the stations along the forest creek.We meet where beavers made a little pooland sweet grass covers the sloping bankcanopied by sycamores dancing in the breeze. We met by chance when I spotted herat the water's edge on a hot summer day.Blouse pulled out and open, she was coolingher bared breasts with a dampened scarf,humming to the burbling water's song At the snap of...
Are you waiting for me?Waiting for me to step aside,To bow out gracefully,All for you to have what’s mine. I’ve watched you slinking around,Sneaking in behind the scenes,Planting seeds and little blooms,Hoping she will tend them. She has a gentle touch,It’s delicate but strong,Oh, the things she does,And she does them to me. Do you want what I have?The love we share,All the things she gives,How she controls my body. You...
The Price of Betrayal God, it’s cold tonight, he thought, his breath hanging in the air in front of his face as he exhaled. He remembered a time when, as a child, he would puff out on cold days like these, trying to make smoke rings, like his Grandfather used to amuse him with. Of course, Grandfather had been smoking a cigar at the time. He stood in the darkened doorway of a small electrical store which was deep enough...
I miss our time togetherNight after night, we layDreams we shared, wishing them trueI need you back, I'll do all I used to do for youEntangled in the sheets, pillows like fortsPiling on extra in the winter's coldKicking them off and giggling in the heatSocks on and off, hands, feet, cold, repeatI daydream at my desk, work crawls byTime marches on and I miss you stillThoughts drift in and out, my mind wandersI want you bac...
She makes me so frustrated it’s almost inhuman. I hate that she smells like strawberries and winter and her complexion is the color of rosebuds in springtime. I hate that she looks just as beautiful in my NFL t-shirt as she does in makeup and a Prada dress. I hate the way her blonde hair glimmers in the sunlight like gold. I hate the way her sea-blue eyes sparkle when she gets happy. I hate the color of her eyes, blue and...
Five minutes. That was all it had taken. Five minutes, to ruin his life, to rob him of his love, to turn his sweet dreams into acid rain. He had promised his girlfriend, that beautiful, sexy and lustfull woman, to bring home the big one from the poker-game one day. He had promised to buy her that wedding ring she always drooled over at Eddy's pawnshop, the one with the big pink diamond. And that night he had won, big time...

She stood outside the funeral home and told herself this was a mistake. She had been having this dialogue with herself since the day she saw the obituary in the paper. It’s not like she read those on a regular basis, in fact, she avoided this section of the paper like the plague because she found it morbid and creepy, but she was reading an article that had “continued on page” with her morning coffee and she turned to the...
There is nothing special about me I am just an average girl, with normal interests. I enjoy watching movies, listening to music, chatting to friends and anything that has to do with the water although I don’t swim. I am currently dating an awesome guy named John. He is someone I have found attractive for the longest time and he asked me, he finally asked me out and of course I said yes. I am so happy over the moon excite...
Margo sat huddled in the dark basement. Upstairs, she heard the "click" of the back-door opening - opening in a sneaky sinister sort of a way. That door was supposed to be locked! Margo thought, her heart racing. How did he get in so easily? Wow, this is creepy! I feel like I'm in some kind of horror movie. How did I get to be in this situation, anyway? But Margo already knew the answer to that question. The reason she wa...
We cheered on our team as we won the big game, In all the excitement I failed to catch your name. A few weeks later our paths crossed again, And in that instant we became more than friends. You were my first: boyfriend and love, “We were destined to be,” how wrong that notion was. I gave you everything, but you couldn't stop chasing, Who knows how many girls in the three months we were dating. “I love you and want to be w...

I felt numb. I needed clean clothes and a shower. I felt.... dirty. I needed to stop seeing Billy entwined with that woman as though their two bodies were one. The harder I tried not to think about it, the more I saw all the details in my head. I could still see her legs lifted across his shoulders. I could still hear the primitive sounds of their passion escaping their throats and her scream as she begged for more. I sti...
