Memories Part 8

Two Days Before Christmas Eve:
Charlotte finishes wrapping the Christmas gifts she bought for her brother’s. Her older brother was spending Christmas with his long-term girlfriend. His girlfriend didn’t get along with their parents and she couldn’t blame her.

As for Jamie, she barely saw her. When she was home, Jamie wasn’t and when Jamie was home, she was asleep, which was fine. Christmas was coming up and Jamie had Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the day after.

Bias

”It all started three weeks ago. Peter Kowalski complained about a D he had got on his Math test. I tried to explain to him that while he is smart and probably understands the material, he is sloppy and makes stupid mistakes. He retorted that he was a victim of gender discrimination. Of course I refuted that. The idea was preposterous. Then Mary, a bright but not very pretty girl backed me up, sort of. She claimed that I only favored girls with pretty legs in short skirts. I ignored such a wild unfounded accusation.

A Pair Of My Own

I earned my living as a consultant, advising people in how to invest their money and hold on to what they had in today’s economy. I purposefully selected only female clients, most males think they know better and do not listen to the advice I offer them. Then, when they lose a chunk, they blame me for steering them wrong. I avoid all of that drama by not taking them as clients in the first place. I have been very fortunate, managing over the years to amass quite a few clients, mostly in the upper echelon of business, across a large spectrum of business types.

A Scout's Guide To Another World Book One
by:
Enemyoffun


Quinn is a Wilderness Scout, like a Boy Scout but focused only on survival scenarios. His fellow scouts call "Super Scout" because he's seemingly good at everything scout related. Most boys Quinn's age would be elated by such a nickname. Quinn is not like most boys though---he's been taking hormone blockers for awhile now and on the eve of their big scout trip, he and his family are about to reveal this to his fellow scouts. Things get off to a rocky start with the revelation. All of that is forgotten though when a horrible storm strikes their first night in the forest and all of them find themselves in a world that is not their own.

Twist Of A Lipstick

I was out shopping at my local mall, just finishing with the anchor store near where I parked. I wanted something to nibble on and was on my way to the food court. I noticed a large crowd up ahead, more than is usually congregated around the food court.

As I approached, it seemed to be one of those survey groups, a lot of young people carrying clipboards actively engaged with customers of the mall as they tried to shop.

What caught my attention, the most was one of the group who appeared to be a male, was sporting bright pink lipstick.

Refugees (Commission)

Orla inserted her scuffed bronze-colored key into the lock, turned it, and opened the door. With its peeling light blue paint, it fortunately did nothing to betray the apartment's relative opulence.
It hadn't been like this when her and her grandmother, Kahri, first moved in. No, at that time, the place had been the dictionary definition of what the locals might call a "shithole," a term as unfamiliar to them as it was second nature to their new neighbors.

It was during my fourth period English class when the principal’s secretary entered the classroom and talked to the teacher. I was summoned to go with her, immediately I wondered what I had done wrong, my guilty conscious really getting to me. In the principal’s office I met another lady who looked vaguely familiar. She hugged me while putting her finger to my lips.

Recovering From Trauma Chapter 12

Cindy’s Quarters:
Cindy was straddling her husband’s lap in just her birthday suit. He was naked as well and the twins were asleep on the floor pillow. Sebastian was buried deep in her womanhood in his human form.

Sebastian was happy that Cindy was pregnant. Just like Ava was as well. “You know, I’m going to keep you pregnant all the time, sweetie. I want us to have a huge family.”

“I don’t mind, but my body will need to recover after all those births.” Cindy lifts slightly on Sebastian’s penis and comes back down.

I was stunned. How could I not be? My mother had just admitted to witchcraft.

Unlike my brother, I spent all my days with her. I was always with her except those times she left home to help bring babies into this world and care for ailing mothers. I was the one person that knew she wasn't guilty of such a thing.
