Steve sat on the terrace watching the tropical rain. It was roaring down making it hard to see the pool a few yards away. He knew it would flow over but there wasn’t anything he could do. The good thing was that the water would be cool. Normally it was warm like a bath and didn’t help much in the heat. He took a sip from his beer and lit another cigarette. Mimi, the labrador he was watching sauntered over and lay down at...

“This is some view you got here, man.” Bob handed Hank a beer. “Yeah, I can’t complain. You have the park right below and beyond that, the lake, and then the skyline of the city. I’m pretty happy. They sat down and put their feet up on the railing while sipping on their beers. Hank leaned forward suddenly. “Oh, what’s that? Looks like a pretty nice MILF.” Bob followed his gaze and smiled. “Yup, the park is full of them. A...

Blake took a deep breath and adjusted herself in the saddle. A few hundred yards ahead stood a little red cone on the ground. She put her heels into Viking who shot forward. She leaned into the wind and, when she was close to the cone, she slid down to her right so her body was parallel to the ground. She snatched up the cone and continued forward. “Holy shit, that was so cool,” said Johan who stood next to Karl and Anna....

The Airbus was a massive plane and it would take Blake to Sweden. She pressed her nose against the cold window taking in the large engine and the plane's wingspan. She was very excited for this was her first time flying and it would be a long flight from Idaho to Stockholm. She picked up her backpack and went over to a vending machine where she bought a bottle of water. Leaning against the wall she watched the other passe...

The was a buzz and the door to Charlie’s cell opened up. She opened her eyes and saw the guard standing in the doorway with a phone in his hand. “There is a call for you.” He placed the phone on the floor and closed the door behind him. Charlie knew she had five minutes to talk but didn’t know who was calling. “Hello?” “You know who this is. Just listen and don’t talk. The kids are coming to see you and they know.” Charli...

“Charlie, you have visitors. Back up to the door and put your hands through the slit.” Charlie lay on the hard cot in her cell staring up at the ceiling, not moving. “Let’s go!” She slowly got up wondering who had come to visit her. She had been in prison waiting for her trial for almost three months now and the only visitors she had had was the FBI trying to pry information from her. She didn’t tell them a word. She knew...

Carla looked out the window where the rain was falling hard. She was still in shock after meeting her brother. She had known about him but the idea of actually meeting had never crossed her mind. Her mother didn’t speak much about him for the simple reason she knew nothing about him as Carla grew up. Her mother had been like a ghost most of her life, slipping in and out when she was least expected to. She would show up fo...

Ann sat in the old rocking chair slowly moving back and forth while her baby fed. The room was hot and stuffy. Flies buzzed against the dirty windows. Pizza boxes littered the floor together with old beer cans. Cigarette butts fell out of the overfilled ashtray and it smelled of cat piss. She loved this part of being a mother. Some of her friends preferred to bottle feed their children but Ann felt that was wrong when she...

Three weeks passed before Rachel and Jenny could meet up for drinks after work. Rachel and been working on a big trial with her coworkers and Jenny had been on a business trip to Hong Kong. They met up at a bar with a large terrace that offered a two-for-one during happy hours. Jenny was already seated with a drink in front of her when Rachel arrived. She had picked a corner table away from the rest of the crowd who prefe...

“Ah, ah, deeper, fuck me deeper, Harry. Give me that cock of yours!” Harry wiped the sweat from his brow and looked down at the brunette lying under him. Her firm boobs bounce to the rhythm of his thrusts and she too was sweating. Her brown eyes had glazed over, which they often did just before she came. He gave her harder and deeper thrusts and felt her nails dig into his back as she pushed her pelvis against his. “Oh, G...

Rachel made the sign of the cross and got up from her kneeling position in front of the altar with the large cross where Jesus looked down at her. She looked away from his accusing eyes and shame filled her body. She walked over to the confession booth and waited in line. There was a man and an older woman before her so she sat down and checked her phone. Her friend Jenny had texted her about meeting up for a coffee but R...

“Are you sure he is fucking around?” said Anne and dipped a cookie in her coffee. “Pretty much. He comes home all flushed and doesn’t make eye contact when I greet him,” said Denise twirling her wine glass which was half empty, or full depending on how you looked at it, she thought. “Sounds suspicious. Do you have any idea who the other woman is?” “I do in fact, if you can call her a woman. It’s the daughter of our neighb...

The sun beat down against the office building in Panama's banking district. It was a hot summer day but inside the office on the twenty-fifth floor, it was cool and quiet. Tabatha stared at her computer screen and reread the message again and then again. She then went back to her accounting and finished it off which took about thirty minutes. Once done she went to the bathroom and then made a cup of tea. When she walked p...

Eric lay on Tina’s bed staring up at the ceiling which had little stars glued to it. The room was painted light pink and he shared the bed with several pink stuffed animals. On the walls were posters of popular singers and bands and to his left was a window with a desk below it. On it sat a pink laptop with pink speakers on either side. There were also a couple of makeup bags and a round mirror pushed to one corner. He gr...

Life was good, thought Eric as he sat on the terrace of his twentieth-floor penthouse looking out over the city lights below him. The penthouse was quiet now that his wife and kids were gone for the weekend. He loved them but sometimes it was nice with some alone time. Clear your mind, have a bit more to drink than he should, and just relax. He wore black silk boxers and nothing else. His fifty-year-old body had seen bett...
