‘Someone might be in trouble,’ I lied to myself. ‘Better check it out and make sure everyone’s safe.’ Had I been legitimately concerned about the strange noises coming from the depths of Pussycat Park, I would have called the police. The primal part of me knew the faint sounds of moans and the occasional muffled scream were not the noises made by someone who needed help. Yet I convinced myself that following the siren cal...

Twenty-one out of twenty, and I grin, sipping my cognac. I write down eighteen. Lisette needs guidance, not hubris. Her wilfulness works against her intelligence. Is this how I should spend Saturday evening? Through the tall windows, dusk deepens into night, and I hear raucous strangers enjoying themselves below. I have no one. Sitting at my desk, I reach for the anglepoise lamp to illuminate it. The settee looks inviting...

The wedding Colin and Sophie stepped out of the church and into the bright light of the sunny rays that greeted them on their wedding day. Posing on the wide stairs in front of the church, large, happy grins were on both their faces as their families and friends clapped. They looked around as they began descending the old steps, flashes and cheers greeting them. Then the confetti rained down, engulfed them and their guest...

There I was, standing next to the bed, my fiancé lingering by the door, while Sara, my ex-girlfriend and the woman with whom he cheated on me, moved closer to me. Her presence felt like an intrusion into the intimacy of our bedroom, and I had to remind myself that I had asked her to be here.

Every little thing he did that day just made the hurt worse. The decision to have a threesome with them tonight was impulsive, but when my emotions are in the driver's seat, the rational part of my brain shuts down. On his way out, I could tell he hesitated, his gaze searching...

I'm lying naked in bed, consumed by anxiety. Will he return home tonight, or will this be the first evening he chooses to spend with his lover, further separating us? Perhaps she has finally ensnared him completely, and he will eventually abandon me for her. As I wrestle with these thoughts, the uncertainty gnaws at me, and the fear of losing him tugs at my heart. The dim moonlight filters through the curtains, casting sh...

A couple attends a Halloween party filled with drinks and debauchery. Sultry maidens and ghouls dance amongst the pumpkins and headstones. As midnight approaches, proper etiquette is cast aside and inhibitions fade. A “behind the scenes” meeting quickly escalates. He pins her against a wall as carnal instincts take over. Her lacy undergarments are cast aside as coitus is imminent. A brief, but torrid, encounter ensues. Im...
