It was late one Friday night and Brad's tube train was emptying out as the train crawled closer to the end of the line. It had been a long week and he had worked into the early hours on most days. The two beers he had had after leaving the office had gone to his head and he started to doze. Sitting opposite him, and now the only other person in the carriage, was a blonde woman in her mid-twenties. Brad had discretely glan...

It is difficult and nerve wracking as a real estate developer to try to anticipate all the local zoning changes that could potentially impact a development project. After a long career of being honest in all my business dealings with others, I found myself in a bad situation. I had invested millions in property to build a new shopping center near Newburgh, New York, and learned that the city council was considering changi...

"Out now, hurry up," said a female guard in a bored depressingly tone. She banged on the metal bars with a clipboard as they slid open for the new day. "Why am I still waiting," she continued with a bored look on her face. "Sorry Ms Battson," said Jack as he and the rest of the inmates stood outside their cells for the morning count. Ms Battson looked at each prisoner and ticked off a box beside their name on her clipboar...

Six prisoners occupied the bus all facing each other, but handcuffed to their metal chairs. One security guard sat beside the door watching every move the men and women made. Jamie was still in shock from the judge's verdict to give him twenty years in prison for breaking into the government's computer system. He didn't even fully understand the charges made against him, as he was only twenty and not very smart with compu...

Many people said Abbott was a bad seed. Since he was a very small kid he’d gotten into trouble. He seemed to take pleasure in doing things he knew were wrong. His parents had given up on him, but that was probably a big part of the problem.They shouldn’t have been parents in the first place. They were ill-prepared to raise a child, and especially one who may have had some issues. Abbott himself, more than likely, didn’t k...

James and Belinda had spent the day in James’s hotel room, naked and barely moving from the bed. James was now on top of her naked wriggling body, lying head to toe so that his head was between her legs. Between fits of giggles, Belinda fought to free herself, but his strong body held her securely to the bed. She loved being trapped beneath him, even if the feel of his lips on her vagina was almost too much to take.She gr...

“Hi,” James smiled as he walked up to the woman at the front desk, “How you doing?”The woman pushed back her long dark hair, her expression changing from one of boredom to one of slightly more interested.“It’s quiet here today.”“It’s always like this mid-week,”He read her name badge. ‘Belinda’ was cute, but hours of selling entry tickets for the old gaol and museum appeared to be taking its toll. At least now she was smil...

Roger Emerson was at the cusp of learning what most Americans never really understood: the extent of the penal system in Singapore. Roger had conducted business in Singapore for several years, but never fully appreciated the intricacies of the culturally mixed court system, nor did he understand the sense of justice that was almost inbred in the life long residents of Singapore. As the celebrated Michael Fay incident sugg...
