Weekly Contest #266
Ralph pulled into the coffee shop parking lot and parked in his usual space. He grabbed his book bag and laptop and set off toward the front door. Once inside, he nodded to the plastic skeletons at some of the coffee tables (a running gag at this particular coffee shop) and he ordered his usual vanilla latte with whipped cream and sat at his usual spot in the rear, beside his friend Betty (a rather cute female plastic skeleton).He checked his watch and saw he had about an hour left before work. If he was going to let off some steam, now was ...

And it was already five-thirty - it would be getting dark soon. If only his car hadn't crapped out on him a few miles back.

He stopped rowing for a moment and zipped up his jacket. In the distance, tree leaves rustled, and a branch snapped. "Hello?" Riley rowed toward the source of the noise.His red canoe bit into a soft patch of earth, and he climbed out, turning on his flashlight. He searched the shore. In the mud were fresh footprints. Someone had been walking around barefoo...
Weekly Contest #260
Please read before you proceed.WARNING: This story contains sexual references, physical violence, emotional abuse scenes, and feminist references.Emily's long blond hair flew out to either side of her face as she stood on Vista Point, a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, and looked down at the swirling, foamy blue water. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly through her nose. It wasn't cold outside, but it certainly was windy. And for reasons she couldn't explain, an electric tingle drove up her spine, raising the tiny hairs on her ...
