Wow. that is an accurate description. hahaha. I hope you have not been naughty yourself with this stuff? I pass no judgements. Each have their vices. My characters drug use is based on my own personal experiences mostly, but I've never injected anything. No way! Only leads to bad roads.

Many thanks

Thursday (1 day before leaving for Castlebay) Having taken the train into the main town, I was now homing in on the large glass KFC building where I'd planned to meet Mark. During the forty-minute trip, I had been trying to calm down after wrestling several of my paintings from my father's fat fingers as he tried to remove them from the garden shed. We'd argued because I was not able to find a place for them in time. These were the three big ones I knew I would have a problem with, seein

It was high moon on Purity, and Sage was flossing his teeth in the washing area of his spherical apartment when there was a bleep. Opening hatch, he went out and demisted his front door seeing Relshek standing outside. Sage opened it up and stood silent, an expectant look on his face. Relshek peered at his naked torso before looking up at his eyes. "You have a piece of white string stuck to your chest." Sage glanced down and flicked it off. "You came all the way over here to tell

I followed Winston, our cat, with my eyes as he skulked into my bedroom. It was a relief to have something to focus my view on after trying to spend the last half hour avoiding eye contact with Leah. Splayed out on my bed was an eighteen-inch pizza box, the contents of which we had both almost devoured in mostly silence. When she arrived, I had had the TV on and planned to leave it that way, only to have her switch it off with a request to talk. I'd just rolled my eyes and asked her what sh

Adam awoke from another night's restless sleep to a beeping sound coming from the wall to the rear of his bed. It was the intercom to which he bashed with his fist in frustration. "Yes?" he snapped, dripping with natural sweat. "My apologies Adam, did I wake you?" "You could say that, not that I got much sleep. Is everything okay?" "You have a visitor; I am currently outside your door." "If it's Sage, Christian, please use the earth term and tell him to fuck off because

Maurice by E.M. (Edward Morgan) Forster
James Matthews commented on W_L's story chapter in Maurice by E.M. (Edward Morgan) Forster
Plot: The story chronicles the life of Maurice Hall, a middle class Englishman, who grew up during the turn of the 20th century. We are given insights into his formative years of primary schooling and public schooling, while we begin to learn about his growing interests in males. It is not until he attends Cambridge University through a meeting with Clive Durham that he understands what his feelings were in fact his homosexuality. Clive said he loves Maurice, then went about teaching Maurice about the classical same-sex relationships through ancient Greek and Roman sources. Maurice reciprocates these feeling, but things just before Clive goes off on a trip to Italy and Greece. Clive realizes he no longer loves Maurice, while Maurice desperately still loves Clive. Maurice tries in vain to cure himself of his homosexuality and unrequited feelings for Clive, without success as he continues to hover in Clive’s orbit, which Clive allows despite the lost of passion between them. However, unbeknownst to Maurice, Alec Scudder, Clive’s young gamekeeper, has fallen in love with Maurice. In a heat of passion, Alec and Maurice begin a passionate affair, but Maurice learns Alec is destined to leave to Argentina. The story, unlike most gay stories of the time, ends in a happily ever after for Maurice, who comes out fully and finds love. I loved how you wrote this plot, It really brought the book to life. I actually want to read it again. The Movie didn't it justice I don't think. -

This was Brilliant. I remember this one well! -
Abruptly becoming aware of the tinny sound of my beat-up radio alarm clock, I opened my eyes. On my left was Winston, our slightly obese black family cat, my right, Leah, the girl that had found her way into my bed some two years ago now. I formed a fist and brought it down on the noisy waking instrument of death, and at the same time, pushed the cat off of the bed in mild frustration. I wanted space! "Hmmm, why do you always set that thing so early? It's Saturday?" My girlfriend

So C'mon who cried with this chapter? I got a lump in my thoat just bloody writing the thing. Funny thing writing, even though you're writing the story you still love the characters as at first they are yours because you are starting out, and then they become their own people, if that even makes sense. I find the sad stuff harder to write than sex, death and violence.

Yeah POV's are funny things. Some readers say they love them. Others hate them. Some even say a POV story discredits the Author. I've tried both ways and You can never tell who likes what until they say.... which you have so thank you

It's a possibility, There is more other stuff to come yet backed up. GA's rules make it hard for me to pump out content fast enough for you, but stay tuned for more drama - It's what I do! hahaha

I stepped out of the elevator with Olly and Mum, and we made our way into the foyer, my stomach turning over like a cement truck. As we made our way towards the automatic doors, I stopped dead for a moment. Mum noticed I wasn't beside her and looked back. "Joey? What's wrong?" "I think I'm gonna freak out!" "Joey, this really is NOT the time," she said, walking back towards me. "It's gonna be fine; you're not going to the dentist, you know. "I think I'd rather be. What if he

After checking my phone, I laid there with a big fat grin on my face, under the sheets of my hotel bed at three a.m. It was dark outside, of course, with only the moon to remind me that Roman and Olly were present in the double bed next to me. 'Will you marry me?' he'd said. I kept hearing his voice in my brain over and over. It was a line I kept playing because of the joy it sent through me each time I heard it. I'd drunk loads tonight, beer, wine, vodka and cocktails… you name it! Olly an
