“Seeing results” by Edward S.

PART ONE Nathan did not like going out with his dad. Did not like it. He was almost six feet at 18 years old, and his dad was only about 5’10, but his father gave him constant directions on how to interact as if Nathan were 6 years old. Dad was a bit of an asshole. Maybe Nathan was autistic, or maybe he just never went outside unless forced to do so by some obligation that involved his parents (usually dad) going through the motions of being great parents trying to raise a star athlete, or for their own photo...

“A man and a waitress ” by Edward S.

A fat teardrop splashed against the thick, impenetrable lamination of the bistro's menu. Tears of sorrow, tears of strength, but a breathy exhale semi-laugh at the effectiveness of the menus waterproofing were all the man could muster at his very current situation. His handsome 5 o'clock shadow engulfed his soft featured, nice-looking face. His white semi-trench coat looked almost like a tunic to the pretty souled, volup...

“Cindy ” by Edward S.

Cindy was ready to tiptoe loudly through her old stomping grounds. The mall where some of her warmer early life memories had been turned long-term. The ages of 9-16 years old are said by some older people to “not matter,” but they are lying their ass off, because what you do at that age sticks with you more tightly in many ways than your 20-45 highlights compilation. It’s the firsts that make it for the long haul, for b...

I can't believe you're here and alive my hero." Frankie sounded sincere enoug...

“The Happy Skipper” by Edward S.

Submitted to Contest #42

Marci was only fifty-two. Her dark hair was still sexy with curls in a ponytail. She knew her daughter’s boyfriends still looked at her when she walked away, because she was in shape and had a booty; plus she watched porn sometimes and knew that there was a market for her. Still, Marci noticed changes in her face recently. Her skin was still amazing for a woman her age, so that wasn’t the thing. You could not break your mother’s back walking blind-folded across her smooth, yet classically tough face, but her reflection had been bothering ...

Author bio

Hiya. I'm a J.D. looking to write something(s) that will reach a lot of people; and if you believe that story, I've got another one for you. No, seriously. I do. I promise not all my characters of note will have square jaws, because a lot of people with zero gumption growing up, and now, have square jaws, and writers need to get over it.
