Personal Assistant (vignette)

Adam was in a mood.  The gym had been particularly rough that morning, both on the floor and in the locker room.  It was crowded, which the young jock had never been overly fond of, but at least before he didn’t stand out the way he did now.  With his shaggy brown hair, lean, amp...

Fruiting Bodies, ch. 11: Voting Options

Dave goes in search of Tom to blow off some steam…

Option 1: and when they get together they create a shock-wave that causes people on nearby floors to change in unpredictable, chaotic ways.

Option 2: but when he finds him in the lab, the samples go crazy and cause a T+ outbreak in ...

The Mask of Sho-Yog, ch. 2

“What is it?”

“Not sure yet.  Doesn’t feel like it’s going to explode.”  Mike gently turned the small parcel over in his hands, trying to ignore the way Brant’s squeaky voice made his stomach flutter.  He was having a hard enough time focusing as it was.  W...

Fruiting Bodies, ch. 11

*** Voting options will be up in the next day or so!  Day job garbage got in the way.***

“It’s so big…it’s so big…it’s so big…” Brad kept repeating the phrase, his distant eyes fixed on an unseen point.  Most people would have assumed that the f...

The Mask of Sho-Yog, ch. 1

Mike’s legs burned with each step, the shaking muscles threatening to give out entirely.  His apartment was only on the fourth floor, and he usually enjoyed the aged metal and marble stairs, but he felt like he’d been in motion for days and even his impressive physique had its limits. &n...

Giving It Up (vignette)

“I’m not sure if I should be flattered or offended.”  Looking Brian’s brawny, pacing frame up and down I wanted to be the former, but my defensive brain kept insisting on the latter.  I’d been suspicious from the start considering how vague he’d been on the details, he’d o...

How Much Is That Stray In The Window

“This is the one.  He’s perfect.”

Kevin knew he should be excited at the prospect of finally getting adopted, but it was hard for the former jock to become enthusiastic about much lately.  He was aware when he’d entered the program that someone he’d known from his life b...

Fruiting Bodies, ch. 10

*** Options three and four were a tie last time, so we'll do option 4 next and then put up a new round of voting. ***

The walls were thinning.  Ethan could feel It pressing against the barrier, worming Its way through the film of reality inch by cosmic inch.  With his hel...

I Would If I Could, pt. 2

“Wha…what?  What are you talking about,” Sam sputtered, his slab of a chest heaving as he looked around from his new 5’8” vantage point.  He’d just crossed over into “short” territory, and his cock now rested just above the six-and-a-quarter mark, but looking at the way ...

What Are You Giving Up For...(vignette)

“I don’t know how you’re doing this, but I swear to god when I get my hands on you I’m…”

“I thought you people weren’t supposed to take your lord’s name in vain,” the man interrupted, cutting off Mark’s impotent bluster.  “And I’m not sure why you’re even up...

I Would If I Could, pt. 1

“Whoa, bro, you need to back the fuck up for a second,” Sam barked, staring down at himself with wide, stunned eyes.  “This was supposed to be a one-and-done…I agreed to a sample, not an all-you-can-eat buffet!  What the fuck!?”

“But…but I didn’t do anything!  ...

Fruiting Bodies, ch. 9

Will’s stomach continued its journey south when the elevator’s rapid descent came to an unexpected halt just above ground level.  It was one of the few shafts that opened directly into his penthouse, and while it passed other floors on the vertical journey, his badge should have overridd...

Reflected

It wasn’t real.  It couldn’t be.  Curses didn’t exist outside of fiction, and even if they did it was only in remote, far off places, not in a massive museum in a major metropolitan area.  Ian kept telling himself that, repeating the ideas in his head like a mantra, but they ...

Shine and Polish (vignette)

“You guys are fuckin’ losers,” Jake sighed.  The fit, dark-haired young man rolled his eyes at the eager expressions on his friends’ faces.  He wasn’t looking forward to what was about to happen, but what he really didn’t understand was why they were.

“No, YOU’RE t...

Bath Bomb

Nick dozed in the ruddy water, the powdery, floral perfume working its way up his nose before falling down his spine as a pleasant shiver.  The smell had been overpowering at first but now it just reminded the muscled brunette of Nora.  Or, more specifically, all the things they’d don...

Fruiting Bodies, ch. 8

Will stared at the screen, the oversized shorts and jockstrap hanging loose at his waist.  He was slimmer than he’d been in years, his current status as “slightly doughy” a fraction of the heaping mass he’d carried earlier that day.  The former jock had long ago stopped caring a...

New Ebook

Hi Everyone,

Just a heads up that I put together a new ebook to feed the Amazon algorithm while I was laid up last weekend.  This is a short volume collecting three fantasy themed stories: Up From the Depths, Pretty and Afterlife.  I'm going to try and work on more of those this y...

Hashtag Beginning

This was posted as a vignette back in the fall, but this is another series I'm thinking about dusting off so I wanted to post it for everyone.  A bit of a prequel to the Hashtag series that ran on here.  Let me know if this is a world you'd like to see more of! 

“T...

Currently Watching

While I'm taking it easy over the next few days I'm finally getting around to that Archive 81 series on Netflix and holy crap is this show fun.  Never listened to the podcast, but this is like a greatest hits of cosmic horror.  You guys probably know about it already because I'm perpetu...

Schedule Update

Hi Everyone,

Quick heads up - I had the follow up to last month's procedure yesterday, so things will be quiet around here for the next few days while I bounce back from that.  Hope to be up and running again by no later than mid-week next week, but if it's quieter than usual that's wh...

Afterlife

“Hold the line!  I think this is the last of them,” Aric cried, a brawny arm flexing as he vaulted the nearby tombstone.  His mud-slick boots slammed into a rotting chest, staggering the zombie long enough for his gleaming sword to swing around and finish it off.  The enchanted...

Fruiting Bodies, ch. 7

“Looks like another successful launch,” Tom called as he stepped out of the elevator.  It was one of the private ones, connecting only the three top floors that he, Will and Dave shared, which made his naked state less of a concern.  Not that it ever really registered as such.  ...

New Faith, Inc.: Dial Now

James didn’t know where he was headed.  He knew where he was going, he had a physical destination in mind, but as far as the big picture went his future was a giant question mark.  He’d just done a ten-year stint in federal lockup for helping his con-artist father defraud an impress...

Letters (vignette)

“A, B, C, D, E, F, G…what, oh what, shall I give to thee?”

Chad’s heart was beating so fast the young man didn’t know how he was still conscious.  After what just happened to his friends he hoped he actually wasn’t, that it was all just a nightmare, but he’d never had suc...

The Mechanism

“Have you heard of the Antikythera Mechanism?”

Nasir raised an eyebrow.  “The antique-a-what,” he asked with a short laugh, his grin quickly fading when Professor Hasting’s stern expression remained unmoved.

“An-tuh-kuh-thee-ra.”  The older man enunciated each ...

Fruiting Bodies, Interlude 1: Spore G+

“You’re actually taking that Spore shit?”  Aaron eyed the slim blister pack on Donny’s counter.  There was one capsule left, its blue, opaque bottom half adorned with a stylized “G+” while the clear top half showed the greenish brown powder inside.

Donny flexed a steel...

Short Pump

*** This was posted as a vignette over the summer, but I haven't had a chance to share it with everyone yet.  I'm still bouncing back from my procedure last week, so this seemed like a good time.  Should be back up to speed soon! ***

Brendan trembled, his heart racing as ...

For the Price of One (vignette)

“I’d love to be surprised by this.  You know that, right?”  Sam gave an exasperated laugh as he eyed the tall blonde’s naked, chiseled frame.  He was already well acquainted with the other man’s ample, precision-sculpted muscle and the pendulous cock that hung between his...

Vignette's on the way!

Hi Everyone,

Just a heads up - there'll be a short delay in the vignette that I was hoping to have up by now.  I've got a minor medical thing tomorrow that might lay me up for a few days, and my plan to get the vignette done beforehand was derailed by the day job being an absolute clus...

Curse of the Magenta Eyes: Rub It In

For decades, Bill thought he’d done the impossible.  They said the Curse of the Magenta Eyes was inescapable.  Once it started, there was no going back.  All a person could do was watch through glowing eyes as their lives crumbled, or at the very least underwent significant chang...
