The walk to school was dreary and gray since the sky still hadn't cleared. It was late September, and the maples were beginning to turn red, orange, and yellow. But it was hard for George to tell on a rainy day like this one. He raised the hood on his jacket to avoid the drizzle and hiked the two miles to Stafford Regional High School. He'd done it so often that he could walk it with his eyes closed. But George could neve...

Thunder rumbled in the distance, and George sighed. He'd just spent the better part of the night trying to sleep despite the pain in his abdomen, but he knew it was all but impossible once a thunderstorm began. The digital clock on his nightstand glowed through the darkness, beckoning him to check it. Three a.m. was later than he would have guessed. "Two entire hours," he thought. "A new record." Thunder rumbled again, cl...

I found myself floating in a dark void, seemingly naked, my tall body fully visible to the nothingness around me. I couldn’t see, smell, or hear anything. The temperature was perfect—not too hot, not too cold. My body reacted to my thoughts, my hands moving as I willed them. Glancing down, I noticed my flaccid cock, strangely relaxed. There was no excitement, no pain—just a sense of calm comfort. But then, a bright light...

My feet drag across carpet as I slump into my apartment and shut the door behind me. The lights fizz like ginger ale when I flick the switch, and the crackling feeling they produce sends a delicious shiver up my spine. The sensation of electricity nearly distracts me from the exhaustion setting in, but not quite. The kitchen sink is filled with dishes. I only wash one bowl for tonight, leaving the rest to sit another day....

Cat had found, while in the radio room, that it sat below the observation tower. Emma and Paje had hoped to find a door leading to it from the floor above so they could avoid going through what Cat had just to learn where things were. “I didn't think you had much of a fancy for ladyfolk,” Paje teased as she caught Emma admiring her in the sheer blue silk dress showing off her ink patterns and underwear. “I’m enjoying the...

I'm a freshman in college and since we've moved in, I've had the biggest crush ever on the girl across the hall, Gabby. We've become good friends, we get lots of meals together, watch movies, and even go out to bars together. There's just one problem ... she gets taken home by a different guy every time we go out. I'm practically in love with her but I can't say a word because I couldn't stand to ruin our friendship. And...

Hannah liked the new dress. It was a bit small on her, young Louise not being as tall or well endowed as Hannah was, but it fit. Her breasts were pressed tightly and it was short enough to show her ankles so she was right on the line of scandalous for court. The soft pink was not the bold colour choice she normally went with but it suited her adopted sister well enough. There was no room to hide a gun, even if she had bee...

Azrael opened the door a few moments later, his brow furrowed in puzzlement at my frantic pounding. "What's wrong?" His gaze instantly hardened as he took in my panicked expression. "Did you see the markings above our door?" I nearly shouted, jabbing a trembling finger towards the corridor. Surprise flashed across his chiseled features before an inscrutable mask slammed down. "Get inside. Now," he hissed urgently, grabbin...

Nobody was paying attention as some foppish putz was droning on about the minutes of the last meeting. Hannah flitted about the crowd putting flyers in pockets without anyone noticing. Liddy had postulated that simply finding the flyers would be enough to get word out as they were discovered and was doing the same thing as Hannah. Cat had the job of standing in eyesight of one of the dukes in a black dress that showed a l...

Hope wasn't sure what to make of Liddy and Emma as they walked out of the print shop. Each carried a bundle, Liddy the flyers and Emma the materials from the magic shop, but they both looked like something strange had happened. “Everything alright?” Hope asked. “Everything is fine now,” Liddy almost sang in response. “Just got to get these flyers out.” “Well, I might have an ideal location. Big meeting with both these tow...

Sarasha, for the first time in a long time, felt like she was the normal person in the room. “We needed to keep those golems! They were so much fun!” Harriott exclaimed. “They were all bound to that guy's brother, who was dead in the basement,” Conna replied. “Plus. they were too unpredictable. We don't need them going on a rampage or turning into nightmares when we sleep or something,” Cat added as she walked into the lo...

Emma was reading through the books and notes she had taken the liberty of keeping from the mansion. Magic from textbooks seldom had the same feel as the personal notes from someone trying to do something strange. She also wanted to know just what happened and make sure she understood it. While she was reading, Liddy walked by her room to find the door open. She stopped. Cat had tried to call Liddy but saw she was obviousl...

Everyone who had a uniform was wearing one. Those who didn't were wearing a salacious approximation of what someone might wear if they were an adventurer or pirate in order to look dangerous. Thankfully they hadn't needed to visit any of the closed shops to find their costumes; Ving had enough leather pants of her own. Everyone was armed with at least a pistol, aside from Vile and Tonna -- who were already far more danger...

It was a relief to the girls and clients to not be overwhelmed by the clanking noise of the clockwork servants. They performed their tasks and were remarkably quiet as they did so. Liddy and Emma supervised as they made the beds in the workroom and bundled the sheets down for cleaning. Ving emerged from one of the rooms wearing only the lingerie she had been wearing under her dress and escorted her client back to the loun...

Hannah didn't pay much attention to the man trying to be subtle about his hand working up her thigh. She was focused on the sky where she watched Ving weave her racer through checkpoints and around her competition. Now that Ving had gotten back into racing, it was like a whole side of her came to life. Hannah was annoyed the man was taking so long and pulled his hand right between her legs where she wanted it and kept wat...
