I got on the train at the end of the line. When I got on I knew it would be a few minutes before it would take off. I find a seat alone and continue with my texting and tweeting. I glance at the man that steps on before returning back to my phone. Next thing you know, he’s sliding into the seat next to me. I look up and notice that there are empty seats all over the train. I sigh. This isn’t going to turn out good.
He starts talking and his voice is so low, I have to ...Keep Reading
Short Fiction: Breathe 25.08.
This night was never going to end. I wasn’t sure I wanted it to, but I did need a moment to myself. I stepped away from the small gathering of friends to the balcony to get a little air. I sipped on a glass of wine, leaned against the railing and enjoyed the twinkling stars.
I heard the sliding glass door click behind me. Seconds later, warm lips caressed my neck. She knew what that did to me. Heat spread from my neck to the tips of my toes in a matter of seconds.
I turned around to face her, sliding my ...Keep Reading
[in-di-pen-duh nt] 24.08.
When I was a little kid, my grandfather used to call me “Indy,” short for independent. I was a baby in a household full of grown ups so I never had to do anything for myself, but I often demanded the opportunity to try (or at least that’s what I hear).
When I ws a teenager, my mom didn’t really know what to do with my independent mind. I was always doing things without her. Filling out college applications, job applications…I got my first bank account without her and she didn’t know until the checks came in the mail.
I often ...Keep Reading
The Skinny 18.08.
I’m grown. Yeah, I have a young face. And yes, I’m small. I could still shop in the kid’s department if I chose to.
But don’t get it twisted. I am GROWN!
Just because I am small doesn’t give you the right to treat me or talk to me like a child.
Please do not make statements about my eating habits. I eat when I’m hungry. A little bit here, a little bit there. I’ve kept myself alive for the last 30+ years eating the same way I do now. I think its working for me.
I’m 4’10″ and my normal weight hovers around ...Keep Reading
BS Repellant 17.08.
You never really know what those from your past will say about you in mixed company. You know people will talk. Its not in the average person’s nature to mind their own business or to keep their opinions to themselves.
Sugar and I tease each other about being a big deal. We both have a bit of a following so our relationship is a bit more public than what either one of us is accustomed.
Its ok though. We expect that there will be people that will not be amused by the love that we share…Especially since there is a segment ...Keep Reading
