On a Wednesday afternoon in late February, the movie theater is almost deserted. I choose the middle seat in the middle row, placing myself directly at the theater's center. The only other person present is an elderly man sitting near the front. This is perfect, I tell myself. I'm still sitting alone when the lights dim and the movie begins. It's a black-and-white film from the forties, one I've never heard of but that yo...

That evening I got a phone call from Gina. She wanted to go to Mass with me the following day. She hadn’t been there in nearly three years, so I was surprised. “Why do you want to do that?” “I’m not sure, I just wanted to check up on my old parish.” That church on Gun Hill Road was called Immaculate Conception. I told her to meet me outside for the 10:AM service. She arrived a few minutes after I did. For a moment we chec...

Part 2: The Mezzanine In a normal theater, the mezzanine can be one of two things. One can be found in a grand opera house with multiple levels of seating and rococo interior. There, the mezzanine is the balcony sandwiched between the first and third levels. Often fancy people in fancy dress visit the opera with monocle in hand to listen to sweet notes of music in German or French. The other mezzanine refers to the front...

Part 1: The Foyer Violet stared absently at her coffee. Black. The calming aroma of the small riverside cafe did little to smooth her nerves. She took a sip. Bitter. Usually Violet limited her caffeine intake in the evening, but tonight she would be needing the energy. Across from her, Alice nursed a latte. Extra sugar. "I don't know if I can do this." Violet couldn't tell if she was shaking from anxiety or coffee. "You o...

Feeling as hot and horny as teenagers, Ellie and David settled into their seats in the back row of the movie theater. With the intention of spicing up their sex lives, David insisted that Ellie wear a fun little toy so he could tease her during the film. “Are you sure no one will hear the buzzing?” she asked. “Let’s try it out and see.” David grinned wickedly as his thumb moved the toggle on the remote control to the low...

We stopped mid-morning at our normal truck stop for breakfast. There were only a few trucks parked. We had breakfast and then checked out the theater. Nobody was there. We had done this many times. Usually, the theater was empty in the morning. Today was no different. We moved to the center of the second row. I had my skirt up, a short, pleated skirt, no panties, and Jim had his pants undone. We started making out while t...

Almost a year has passed since I began dating Kiran. Kabir used to pimp me out from time to time, and Kiran was aware. And considering I would be busy on the new year’s eve, he planned a trip from the fourth to the sixth of January. Kiran, however, had a different idea in mind. On the morning of the third, he woke me up to tell me to get dressed and get my bags ready. He reached my house at two in the afternoon wearing a...

It was hard to read Morgan. I know there was this whole stereotype that ‘when a woman tells you she’s not upset and it was not that big a deal, she’s very upset and it was the biggest deal’ – Kevin in particular was sure to drill that into me. But not trusting someone I was dating seemed kind of silly. If she told me she was not upset and I was supposed to take that as ‘I am upset,’ when the heck would I ever think she wa...

“That's my seat.”“What was that?”“You're in my seat.” I showed him the cinema ticket. “I wouldn't make a big deal about it, because I don't want to break up your friend group, but I don't want to take someone else's seat either.”“We just have to each move down one. Guys?” He and his two male friends each shifted in the theater row to their assigned numbers.“Thank you.”“No worries.”“Hey…” I mused as rested in the reclining...

I had anticipated seeing the movie we were about to watch, but as I left the ticket booth I saw you lingering by the fountain in the plaza. Meandering around, your hips gently swaying; you seemed a very conservative woman taking in a movie. Little did anyone know the truth beneath your facade. It was the second time you had worn a skirt; the first being when we met. I remember watching you walk from your car; the light fa...

Chellie could not get her and Eric’s first adventure in the park out of her mind. She found herself thinking about it late at night in bed and she often touched herself to the thought. She knew that they had to continue their escapades and get even more risky. She thought that she would surprise him this time, so she began thinking of a plan. The next day, Eric came over to Chellie’s house and they went upstairs to her ro...
