• The shaft

    She moves her palms up the stiff shaft and wraps her fingers firmly around the rod. It’s not what you want your wife doing, at least most husbands wouldn’t, but I’m not sure hers would care. She starts to pump, slowly at first, then harder and faster until, with a moan, the thick ice encrusted Read more

  • Courage in the face of the unknown

    One can never tell when one is going to biff it and I like using the word ‘one’ instead of ‘you’ because it sounds more British and formal. One could pull a Ledger, a Carradine or a Winehouse/Houston or slip on the ice and fall in front of a beer truck or one just never knows Read more

I’m not Read more

  • My life as a breakfast smoothie

    Many mornings I stand by our weary blender and watch through the glass as little by little the collection of spring greens, yogurt, berries, whey and water slowly twirl and mix near the bottom at first then, slowly, higher and higher. Depending on what berries I’ve used, the mixture turns darker pink or blue flecked with green as Read more
