Before I lay bare my dreadful deeds for all to see and face complete condemnation for what I did, you must first listen. Let me tell you the truth so that you might understand, so that you might see why I did what I did. I'll confess everything. If you give me a chance to explain, you'll see I only did what I had to. I didn't have any choice. You would have done the same if you were in my place. You would have! Don't deny...

It’s pathetic, really, that my parents still control me at eighteen years old. Instead of partying with my friends the summer before freshman year of college, I’m stuck in a bus packed full of thirteen to nineteen year old Bible Fuckers singing praise songs. Okay, it’s not that I have something against Christians. I really don’t. There are some that are cool, like the ones who respect differences and don’t take everything...

For more than forty years, I whipped the sin from the vicars and drowned their sinful seed in the blessed fount that is my cunt. The truth was that I, Mary Marie Maguire, had saved every vicar that ever walked through the doors of my church—my church. That’s not exactly true. Reverend Michael was the vicar when I first joined soon after Father and I moved into town. It was Michael’s wife, Lily, who had saved him first, ma...

The dark-robed figure loomed over Jacob, his face obscured by his hood. His raspy voice seemed to emanate from everywhere at once. "Brother Jacob, you stand before the sacred waters, ready to begin your purification. Say yes, and I shall guide you along the path." Jacob swallowed hard, chest tightening. Across the moonlit clearing, he could see Emily being led away by George. "I...yes. I'll do whatever is required." "Wise...

He was the embodiment of chaos. An unpredictable cartoon character. He represented everything Jennifer Laurent should have abhorred – crude, goofy, lackadaisical, kind of lazy, spontaneous… agnostic. Even the first time they met, Jennifer didn’t really think much about Alex, but clearly she had some kind of effect on him. It was some event where their respective colleges sent teams to research something together. The coll...

Jacob drummed his fingers nervously on the steering wheel as he navigated his beat-up Honda Civic through the winding roads of the Oregon countryside. In the passenger seat, Emily stared out the window, her eyes following the gentle rolls of the hills and farmland scenery. She’d never been this far away from home before, and she wondered if she would even miss her parents. An uneasy knot twisted in Jacob's stomach as he g...

“Forgive me, father, for I have sinned.” “How long has it been since your last confession, my child?” Kelly clenched a little at hearing Father Ambrose call her his child. Of all the priests in the parish, he was the one she least wanted to disappoint. Tall and thin with gray eyes, he presided over every conversation with a sort of piercing severity that made her unsteady. His low, gravel voice was unmistakable through th...

ACT THREE, SCENE ONE “Well, you’ve got some fucking gall, turning up now, after all these years!” Riley spat the words out with contempt – but some indecision, which was evident in the way her accent wavered: part of her felt determined to be profoundly chavvy, so as to identify unequivocally with her mother, her mother who, she felt certain, has been so wronged by this man all those years ago; but part of her wanted to d...

According to the holy texts, the world used to be completely black. There was nothing and no one until The One appeared, and with their appearance light was brought into the world. The black was replaced with a heavenly white, a white that covered everything and made all feel enchanted. The One saw it, and saw that it was good. But then sin crept into the world, corrupting The One's creations with evil and malice. Sin wou...

Silk. That's what encrusted Talia while she drifted. Long wavy locks of soft charcoal hair were both a cushion and a stream on her pale cheeks and over her High Holiday best. Two piercing eyes carved from jade peered over the crest as she got on hands and knees and crawled towards them over the infinite carpet, heels thrown off to the side, her top cardigan button undone. Olive skin and full lips greeted her over the nose...

“That’s right, focus all your attention on the shiny apple. It’s called the fruit of sin, but this one is much more than that… it’s the fruit of trance and blissful mindlessness. You know this is true. Now, tell me your name…” cooed the green-eyed naked brunette, a python wrapped around her bouncy breasts. “A-Adam” he stammered, his eyes vacant and his cock dripping white on her curly toes. “Isn’t that funny? I’m Eve, but...
