A note about verb tense. I use present tense when writing about sex acts. Present tense makes the action seem more immediate, and, one thing for sure, sex is immediate. There’s a second advantage, present tense uses fewer words than past tenses. None of those annoying little helping verbs. That Gretel! I met her a […]

I’m sat at my desk, as ever wrestling with some stupid computer or other. You can hear me growl at it occasionally, or grunt and mutter unintelligibly. I’m obviously not having much luck. Eventually I just stop, leaning back in the soft brown leather of the enormous ‘executive’ chair I insisted on ‘wasting’ €1000 on. […]

Jenny let herself into the small boutique just off the high street. The good smell of furniture wax hit her as she walked through the first part of the old Tailors, the tiny bell ringing out her presence as it had for many years. As she waited for old Mr Thorpe the tailor she examined […]

After that awesome night last week things have just kept getting awesomer. Well, up until now … I slept really well that night, and only woke up the next morning when I heard the front door closing.

Jarrik’s last memories of Boston were neatness and politeness. The stainless steel tweezers to turn the needle for the suture were sparkling.

I thought I was dreaming at first. Bang, bang, bang. But it didn’t cease when I opened my eyes. Bang, bang. Nope, that was indeed someone at the door. My alarm clock said 11:32 pm. Who the hell was at my door at this hour? I walked slightly bleary-eyed to the front entrance and was […]

Tierney sat in her desk during class staring at her professor as he gave his weekly lecture. She wondered what he looked like naked. The professor was at least six foot tall with dark wavy hair cut short. He was a big guy and probably played football in his college days. He had great eyes […]

Before starting part 2 I reproduce here are the last few lines of part 1 to refresh your memory: Sarit was still lost in her thoughts and quite oblivious to all that transpired. ‘Sarit,’ I said. No response. ‘SARIT!’ I said loudly. ‘Eh! What did you say?’ Sarit replied pulling her mind back to reality, […]

Happy 2015! This will be the last chapter of Irkutsk. I had no idea when I started this story over a year ago (well before the first installment was posted) that it would take my characters through quite the experiences you have read about. To those of you who have enjoyed reading this tale (even […]
