Think back to those days in the immediate aftermath of WW2 and their attendant problems. Not the least of these was tuberculosis (TB). I was an age nineteen student nurse in training at a TB sanatorium in England. The sanatorium had been a stately home and had grown in size with the construction of temporary wards. They built these from specially insulated service barrack huts with gloss-painted walls and a false ceiling...

We’d all had a few drinks when the subject first came up. Kendra might have had one or two more than Wes or me. “Top celebrity crush this month,” Wes prompted us. “I’ll go first. Charlize Theron. We rewatched Atomic Blonde last week, and I still can’t get her out of my head.” “Good one,” I said. “I guess I’d have to say… wait, no. Can I do a top five this time? Or like, a top man and a top woman, like at the Oscars? Only...

Graduating from high school last month, I planned on making the most out of my last summer at home with my friends. I had spent the day at my friend's house and was looking forward to a night relaxing and catching up with Mom. Mom smiled at me as I walked through the door. She indicated that she would be off the phone in a moment, so I plopped down on the seat next to her and waited. Mom and I were close, so I could tell...

Dear Daddy, I'm writing you because I don't know how to tell you this in person. I never meant for this to happen, but it just did. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy it did; I just wasn't expecting it. Here, I am blabbing, and you probably have no idea what I am talking about. So, let me start from the beginning. It began when I was twenty-two, and Morgan had just turned eighteen. Do you remember that summer? I was home from...

Chapter one The tip of my tongue was at the base of the pink dildo, and I traced the wet silicone past the midway point all the way to the round tip of the fake cock. I tasted my juices, the hint of the silicone material in the background, and the faint flavor of my roommate’s pussy. It would have to be faint as the four times in the last thirsty minutes I fucked myself with this pink, slightly curved sex toy. I squirted...

The door slammed behind me as I walked into my new apartment. I had just moved into my first adult apartment two weeks ago and finally finished setting it up last night. It had been a long week, and at this point, all I wanted was to have a drink, put my feet up, and watch some TV. I went to the fridge, poured myself a glass of white wine, and plopped onto my couch. As I began channel surfing, I heard the bedroom door cre...

Vandira lit a cigar and, just like the day before, sat down on the chair and put her legs on the desk. Liberated and anxious to show my worth, I scribbled quickly as she spoke, asking for clarifications where I thought it was necessary. "After being banished, my first thought wasn't how to plot my return," she said. "I decided to go to the south-west, past the mountains, to the port of Umbaya, simply because that was the...

I looked at her across the conference table, as she talked. Only half listening to what she said. My heart thudding in my ears was all I could hear. Her long red hair sliding over her nipples was making me uncomfortably distracted. Her name was Jasmine, and I'd worked with her for two months. She was beautiful. I'd never been with a woman before. But when she offered me the new apprenticeship opening, with the caveat that...

Last week, a family friend passed away in New York. Her name was Eleanor; she was ninety-six years old. She and her late husband were lifelong friends with my parents. I knew them as Aunt Eleanor and Uncle Harry. She was a fine woman, a devout Catholic who never missed a Sunday mass. I wanted to pay my respects in person and decided to travel to New York for the church service and funeral. I booked an early morning flight...
