Chapter Fifty-One My Solution I thought of transforming and ripping something. Instead, I went to bed. To ponder. It was a long night. Little sleep, only that from exhaustion. I woke not wanting to. Part of me wanted to stay in bed, but that was impossible. Too much to do. Today was the day to […]

My Inner Werewolf Chapters 44-50
Chapter Forty-Four The Ghost I went into work the next morning apparently alone. The guards watching saw no one walk to the car with me, no one sit next to me. The guards in the car followed while others stayed behind, watching for Phyllis. Sitting beside me, invisible, Phyllis giggled. “This is so much better […]

Chapter Thirty-One Exploring My Inner Space As I looked at Pinetree and Dr. Orwell, I did not really care about them but knew I should. We met following yesterday’s meeting with the thick man and his associates. I did care about the two of them–they were important to me. That was sort of a start […]

Lust, on Mars – Chapter 5 – Mars and Me
While George struggled with his situation, at the front desk of the Clinic Shallot and her two besties dropped off the rest of Alice’s chocolate. Alice had died before she could eat the rest. The woman smiled pleasantly, took the chocolate and told them George would get it. Then it was quiet. “I want to […]
Lust, on Mars – Chapter 6 – Lust and Lost, on Mars
So many felt unsettled. Something was wrong and thinking it was right was almost a crime. By that evening there were few people out, many staying home to play the game. Even colonists who never played computer games tried it—everyone said that, for the first time, the game was totally realistic about their lives. Sally […]
Lust, on Mars – Chapter 4 – What is Inside You
Earlier that morning, George left Shallot’s home willingly with the medics. It would be embarrassing and futile doing anything else—he would have preferred running, buying himself some time. Instead, he complied—he would be hunted–and quietly rode in the van to the Clinic. At the front desk he filled out a questionnaire, had blood taken, was […]
Lust, on Mars – Chapter 3 – Life Under the Dome
Shallot had never worn a protection suit. The suit felt thin, light, protecting against the cold and Martian air. Suits for underground use were far less bulky than those worn outside the dome—no solar radiation to deal with, no searing winds. Sealed into the suit, she breathed, cautiously at first, bottled air. It smelled and […]
Lust, on Mars – Chapter 2 – The Mayor of Mars
In the Mayor’s office there was no room for wavering about life or feeling alone. There was only reality. Which occasionally included wavering about life and feeling alone. Responsible, isolated. Madeline leaned back in the plush chair, kicked off her heels and grunted, tired. Her leg ached, arthritis, but she refused to use her cane […]
Lust, on Mars – Chapter 1 – Lust, on Mars
Below them her bed, above them the dome, sealing in the colony from the reality of Mars. Completed in 2225, today–a hundred years later—still the sole colony. The reality of Mars intervened in plans for the future. By now the clear dome had eroded to a light orange/brown, matching the endless barren landscape outside. Cracks […]
