A hellish device, a machine of misery, thats what the stocks became for Cathy. Her impression of stocks had come from movies and grade school history lessons about the Puritans. She had thought they were solely for public humiliation, the petty thief forced to stand in the village square while his neighbors laughed at him. First hand experience now taught her the reality. Whoever had built this particular version knew exactly how wide to limit her stance and how far apart her hands should be.

Gin and white wine do not mix I found next morning as I woke with the most appalling hangover. At least I had slept solidly through the night. I staggered out of bed, grabbing the robe matching my pyjamas and stumped into the kitchenette. Two coffees and two aspirin later I was ready to think about packing and catching my train home. I hate the stubble of my beard first thing in the morning so, as I began to feel human, I escaped to the bathroom for a shower and a shave.

It all started after I moved from the city about months ago into a small rent house at the end of a country road. I did have one luxury, twice weekly trash pickup, provided by a independent company. Trash days were Tuesday and Friday and my house was one of the last stops they made, usually between : and oclock. This rural company still came up to the house and got the trash from a designated area. Mine was near the back of the house, beside the deck. I was usually at home when they came to pick up the trash and had noticed it was always either a

Shannons naked bus ride continued. She was happy for the kindness that Glenn had shown her but now the memory of poor Carrie was coming back to her. What was she going to do? She couldnt let Carrie down. She was so lost in her thoughts that she failed to realize that the bus was now empty and her stop was coming up. She blushed again as she realized that all of the kids had walked past her, drinking in her

Sister Moon shone in the night sky as my cloven hooves plodded through the forest by the sea. I was walking through the forest on that summer night, as was my wont when I felt restless. To call it night is not quite accurate though; in truth, the hour approached dawn. Suddenly I caught the scent that belonged to an elusive vision of divine feminine beauty that had been haunting me in my dreams, beckoning me to join her in the heavens.

We sat together in the airport, and I still couldnt believe who I was sitting next to. Of all the... He brushed against my hand, so I took hold and squeezed gently. He smiled at me, and I smiled back. God he was hot - those pictures Id seen scarcely did him justice. I guess youre probably wondering exactly how we met up. Strangely, we met through the internet, but not like any other internet relationship.

I was , id already been driving about a year illegally of course, and i always had access to a car, if i couldnt get a ride i could always borrow one and if that didnt work i would just steal one. Bill was a "horn dog"he was about six months younger than me.His girlfriend was down right hot and she kissed his ass,but for some reason he always felt the need to he was forever trying to get me to do the same but i wouldnt, there was only one time i cheated on my girlfriend and he knew nothing about that. that night we drove out to meet T.J. and hung out a bit, i liked him instantly and we quickly became friends.

Travis made quick work of the two sandwiches and fruit plate I had prepared for him He was still drinking some bottled water, when he noticed my drink. Whatcha drinkin He asked. Oh, this is just a little bourbon- on- the- rocks. I said. Itll warm your cockles. Warm my what? He smiled. Warm your insides, I instructed. Oh, he said, I thought.... I know what you thought, I chuckled, itll probably warm those up as well. Can I try some, He asked. You think you can handle it? I asked. Dont know, but Ill try. Im not shy about trying new things, as you have already seen. Travis stated proudly. OK, I said. Ill prepare a glass for you.

Following the service years I began the civilian years by getting married and having children just like all other normal young men and was content for a long time. During this period I worked in construction and was earning good money but on occasion did have to travel in order to do my job. I had been lucky and had become a supertiendent for a large company and traveled around to get jobs started and to keep them on track. During this time I would, on occasion ,run into homosexuals in bars but for the most part didnt have any direct contact

Beth sat in the secure briefing room with Steve and two other agents. She recognized both of them as members of the assault team that had saved her the previous night. "Beth, before we go on, I want you to understand that you dont do have to this," explained Steve. "I know. I want to do this," she answered. Steve nodded. Inside he was very proud of Beth and disgusted by his plan, although he knew it was the only
