TW: sexual abuse MY STRANGE PET AND I PART 1 One often likes a pet when they decide to keep one. One often decides to keep one, but I was given no such luxuries of either decision or of needing to hold affection for my pet. I had to keep it. I don’t know if it is was the pet that needed me or I that needed the pet, but one thing was certain, we were both slaves of each other neither wanting to be here but both needing to be.

Aahan knew he wasn’t.“Eureka!” exclaimed that gray-haired man. He was not gray-haired for age, although he was not so young either, he was gray-haired because he simply was. “What it is master, do say!” inquired Aahan out of curiosity, stopping his mopping the office. “I’ve got it Aahan! I’ve got it!” the man was so happy that he grabbed Aahan...
Weekly Contest #65
THEY WERE TWOThe two stood in the darkness. The two were as such; if you saw one without the other you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference for they had the same face. They were twins.As the life of twins would have it, the two agreed upon almost everything. Except that, that ‘everything’ of which they agreed, the world, at most, would not agree. For certain they even disagreed to the very law of human birth; that one should be born alone.They were two.Today though, the twins disagreed greatly. And the solution to that thing on which they...
