Solitary
2007-10-31 02:23:00 He was hunched over, even when he was standing up straight with his arms raised over his head. Not that he was needed very often to raise his hands over his head. It?s not like he lived in an old Western town or something where leather-skinned men with warts and crooked eyes popped up in ... More About: The Stories , Soli
Disinherited Son
2007-10-30 02:58:00 He had a real glint in his eyes when he spoke, as if he was the favourite son saying something mischievous and adorable at the same time, ?You always said, ?family is everything.? Do you remember that?? The old man in the wheelchair with the cane for walking and the assistant for helping him stand ... More About: The Stories , Sinh
Angriest Man Alive
2007-10-29 03:11:00 To simply try and elucidate how he felt was to try and bring back all those feelings he had no control over when they washed up like a tidal wave intent on crushing everything. He had never been so angry. No that was not true, he had been so angry many times before and on ... More About: Alive , The Stories
Manga Girl, Imperiled
2007-10-28 05:49:00 He couldn?t tell if it was the way she was standing or whether it was because of the clothes she was wearing that he thought of manga. Specifically the erotic ones. That she was wearing a tartan skirt that was shorter than he normally saw girls in was definitely an aid. But it wasn?t that ... More About: Manga , Girl , The Stories
The Girl On The Phone
2007-10-27 04:04:00 ?Hello?? ?Hello. Who is this?? ?Actually, could you please tell me who this is?? ?Woah that?s not how it works. You called me, you tell me who it is. I don?t care if you?re a chick with a hot voice. Phone lines can be deceiving.? ?No, you don?t understand. I?m in a really dark place and my battery is ...

Woman In A Compromising Position
2007-10-26 04:03:00 He walked in the door and nearly fell back out. He definitely did take several penguin steps backwards in surprise at what he saw from just inside the door. His brain screamed [If that?s what they?ve got on show just through the front door what kind of crazy orgiastic mania awaits through the VIP room?] ... More About: Woman , The Stories , Position
Inconvenient Lies
2007-10-25 03:04:00 How great is it when a sick person you know just, dies? Not great at all? Must?ve been someone related to you (funerals can be terribly wearing, especially when you can?t leave whenever you want to) or someone you loved. The exact same thing happened to Mary Sue and she was both hurt and angry ... More About: The Stories , Lies
Final Set
2007-10-24 03:41:00 The strobe lights gave him a headache but he understood after the first two minutes of trying to explain to the guy who spoke a different English from him, that he was going to have to live with them during his set. Almost as if on cue and in direct contravention of his instructions, within ... More About: Final , The Stories
Unrequited
2007-10-23 03:26:00 The aroma of the coffee before him was doing nothing to invite him to drink it. He just stared straight ahead like he was expecting a certain event to occur. He sat with both his forearms on the table, on either side of his cup of coffee and it was as if his arms were ... More About: The Stories
Aftertaste
2007-10-22 04:59:00 [It?s all in the aftertaste] she thought, with a bitter glance into the near past. It troubled her that there were more nuances to the aftertaste of things made inedible by more than just their size or inability to be cooked. It hurt her sense of logic that more events, interactions and shared experiences had ... More About: The Stories
Chain of Events
2007-10-21 07:10:00 It was like a bomb exploded in the street right outside the bar and one person was thrown through the front door. Several people had their mouths open at the exact moment that Neville Bunton flew through the front door around half past one. That there were so many people in the bar at that ...

Picnic
2007-10-20 05:44:00 They were lying side-by-side like cutlery on a checkered tablecloth. Which was sort of funny because they were lying on a red checkered tablecloth but it was only the grassy ground underneath them. They didn?t think it was particularly amusing for two adults to be lying on a picnic table. By her feet and to ... More About: The Stories , Picnic
Moment Of Truth
2007-10-19 03:41:00 These are the lies I told myself on the few days in a year I didn?t want to kill myself: Love is for everybody. Hard work pays and true talent will shine through. Womankind is kind, generous and capable of looking beyond the surface. My parents will someday be genuinely proud of me. Exercise will make me as fit ...

Cricket Match Blues
2007-10-18 05:00:00 The first thought that struck him about the whole experience was how narrow the stairwells were. This was not a stadium designed to receive and facilitate the movement of roaring masses that had driven/taken a bus/ridden in a train for two hours or more to watch their favourite modern gladiators do battle. This was not ... More About: Cricket , Blues , Match , The Stories
Stacked
2007-10-17 04:53:00 He walked into the room angrier than a hungry animal with a wealth of food grazing close by and no way to catch even a single one of them. All he could think of to repeat to himself like it was a mantra that would grant him peace was [The bitch is gonna pay! The ... More About: The Stories , Stacked
Smelly City
2007-10-16 05:02:00 The city night smelled. A cornucopia of oiled metal, stale armpit dew, open sewers and fresh produce allowed to lie out in the punishing sun. If he wore a coat he would have turned up the collar and pressed his nose to a lapel like a grieving widow at a public funeral. If he wore ... More About: City , The Stories , Melly
Backseat Rendezvous
2007-10-15 05:57:00 Just as he was about to flop into the backseat, he realised that someone else was already there. From the driver?s seat Karan said, ?Oh yeah, Aswhin this is Namrata. Namrata, Ashwin.? Her eyelashes were so long it looked like she was giving him the Jessica Rabbit coquette look even when she was just saying, ... More About: The Stories , Rendezvous
This Poet I Know
2007-10-14 04:27:00 It was a crowded bar, they were pushed up against each other even though they had only just met. She didn?t mind being shoved into him periodically. She liked what she saw so she smiled up at him and asked, ?What do you do?? In response he said, ?Would that I could tell you Would ... More About: Poet , The Stories
Riding Red
2007-10-13 08:23:00 His name was Lil Hood and he was the type of guy you didn?t mess with, not unless you had a searing jones for the type of hurting only a fierce short man can give you. Ever since he was four years old, this black kid was scared by the white man?s fairy tale version ... More About: The Stories , Riding
Impact
2007-10-12 06:43:00 He was totally unprepared for the crash. One moment, he was walking down the street nodding at strangers and making sure not to step into the dog shit left behind by inconsiderate animal lovers and the next he was flying through a plate glass window collecting shards of glass in various parts of his body ... More About: The Stories
Schoolgirl
2007-10-11 06:01:00 He was not having the kind of day that most guys wrote home about. Through no real fault of his, other than oversight, his team was approaching a deadline with less than half their project completed. As in the case of most corporate ?teams? there were at least three people on his team of five ... More About: The Stories
Digital Truth
2007-10-10 04:51:00 He had only one job, actually it was the only task he was entrusted with in a job that was as high pressure as it could be without requiring him to do too much. In truth he was little more than a photographer?s assistant. His instructions were simple, ?guard the box with your life? and ... More About: Truth , Digital , The Stories , Ruth
Career Girls
2007-10-09 06:09:00 To look at them was to assume they didn?t have a care in the world. They were two attractive women, dressed casually but guaranteed to attract attention wherever they went because of the way they looked. Meena was dark ? dark skin, dark eye makeup and an incredibly sunny disposition. She had a smile for ... More About: Girls , Career , The Stories
Infidelity Avenged
2007-10-08 04:47:00 He found it difficult to concentrate, especially in situations where nothing was spectacular. He thought it wasn?t too much to ask that a blind date either be great looking or an interesting conversationalist. He didn?t see how a potential business associate could not know everything he already did, about the business they were going to ... More About: The Stories , Infidelity , Deli , Fidelity , Avenge
Pick Up
2007-10-07 05:02:00 She looked like an ass-kicking executive. Someone who knew what was what, when the indices were up or down, made millions (if not billions) on a single trade and was not averse to cutting three hundred jobs in a day if she thought it would significantly impact profitability at the end of the quarter. The ... More About: Pick , The Stories
Parisian Encounter
2007-10-06 08:09:00 They were in a café in Paris. That in itself should have been enough to set the mood. There?s just something about a café in Paris that threatens to drown even the most unaware individual with atmosphere. The lighting was warm and welcoming, the waiters were vigorous. Grains of sugar might get left on a ... More About: The Stories , Encounter
Guitar Hero
2007-10-05 04:31:00 Everywhere he went his guitar case went with him. It was as if the case and its contents were somehow connected to his mental well-being. He didn?t say or do much that was unconventional or guaranteed to get him noticed. Nothing that is, if you were able to overlook the guitar case hanging off his ...

Assistant
2007-10-04 02:52:00 It was the weirdest thing to listen to and she didn?t know how she felt about it so she hung back and took the words in. It was a male voice and he was saying, ?Go ahead, you can do it, step into the light.? And a female voice responded, ?it sounds like you?re telling me ... More About: The Stories , Assist , Assistant
Entrepreneur
2007-10-03 04:15:00 11:00 am The cops had him flanked and he had nowhere to go. He was clean so he had nothing to worry about but they pinned him to the wall and got up in his face anyway. ?Where you going Cue Ball? What?s the hurry?? ?Come on man, I?m just minding my business. Why you got to ... More About: Entrepreneur , The Stories , Rene
Rapper
More articles from this author:2007-10-02 04:33:00 The reporter looked like an extra from a rap video. She looked hot enough to get a three-second scene of her own ? quick cuts of face, lips, tits and booty and then she would be consigned to the background for the rest of the three-and-a-half-minute celebration of bling in the thug’s life. So it ... More About: The Stories , Rapper 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
