Jacquelyn’s hand, which had been rubbing my chest through my shirt started to move lower. Her fingers found the hem of my shirt and slipped underneath. They felt warm and soft as they slid across my belly; stopping momentarily to trace a circle around my bellybutton. Suddenly, realizing what she was doing she stopped […]

After dinner, while everyone else had gathered in the media room to watch Shrek the Third on DVD, I managed to slip away to the kitchen where I grabbed the cordless phone and hid myself away in the pantry. I knew that with the time difference between Maine and California, I would have a really […]

The next thing I knew, I was lying flat on my back looking up at… MY GRANDFATHER?! “Grandfather?” I asked, unable to believe that I was suddenly seeing him. “Lie still boy,” he said, while brushing my hair out of my eyes. I heard something to my right and turned my head to see some […]

  There were great rivers of laughter tears flowing from my eyes and as I wiped them away using my ACE Bandage I said, “All this time I thought you were a ghost!” as soon as the words were out of my mouth I lost it again. “Oh man! I think I am going to […]
