Short Story: President Carlson’s Polls Up
The most remarkable story of the last year has to be the video that was leaked of the president having sex with the assistant to his Chief of Staff, the very attractive, and relatively young, Samantha Hinson. What made it remarkable, other than the fact that someone had made and posted a pornographic video of … Continue reading Short Story: President Carlson’s Polls Up

The lights flickered as the sound of thunder rattled the windows before going out, casting Edmund into darkness.

I was a lowly mortal and she some heavenly creature, or forsaken demon from some unfathomable hell. All I knew was she was an otherworldly being, and I was besotted, … Continue reading Short story: Madness
Short story: The raging storm
He sat stoically as he read her text. He couldn't fall to pieces in public. He had clients to deal with, coworkers to work with. No, his private hell would have to wait. He'd have plenty of time to fall apart when he got home. All the time in the world. Maybe all of eternity … Continue reading Short story: The raging storm
Short Story: Porcelain
“I'm getting wet!” The sound of the little boy's whining set the Enzo Bousquet on edge. Why he agreed to look after the little brats, he didn't know. Well, he mused as he opened his umbrella to shelter the boy, he knew quite well. The family's fortune was in decline. Tastes in fashion were changing, … Continue reading Short Story: Porcelain
