“Tyr's Lament” by Lady Senie

Submitted to Contest #255

Her name was Vanessa Williams.That was the name of the woman I was recalling while my hostess did my hair during my first gaming session so long ago. It was funny; I didn’t even remember ever spending any time in Jordan, Iowa as a child, but apparently, the best foster home I ever lived in was there. And her braiding skills had been on par with the woman I lived with during my time in Canada.Unlike the famous singer, however, this Vanessa was beaten to death one lonely Thursday night by her drunken husband who was long dead for his crime. Wh...

“Triumph” by Lady Senie

Submitted to Contest #253

This story contains sexually mature content and adult themes. Also a fair amount of sexual activity. You have been warned. There I was, fresh out of a soothing shower and facing down my arch-nemesis, Marcus, in my dorm room.  This would not be unusual if I wasn’t as naked as the day I was born this sweltering Spring day.  Shame and Smugness drew knives and eyed each other menacingly as I watched the play of emotion on his normally haughty face.  Apparently, Mr. ‘the human body is nothing special’ was having an interesting ...

“Choices and Consequences” by Lady Senie

Submitted to Contest #250

“How could you?”I cringed, not wanting to turn and face my accuser. Oh, I knew who it was. Had heard that voice drip venom at fellow students at the center.The difference is, I’ve never heard that venom directed at me before.Something in my heart clenched. This is what I’d been reduced to. “Look, Shirl,” I said quickly to cover my nerves as I turned to face her. The fist crushing my heart pumped the organ a time or two as I caught a look at the deep pools of her brown eyes, gorgeous even as they shimmered with tears....

“Eclipse Trials” by Lady Senie

Submitted to Contest #245

"Are you ready for this?" I looked at my love with disdain as his eyes fell to his feet in shame. What the hell kind of question was that? This event was likely to leave me scarred and bloody. I could die. Was I ready? The answer of a resounding no!The only reason this was even happening was Jerika Dookins had seen us making out three moon cycles ago. Everyone knew that Quentin Lirauge was off limits to everyone but her. The golden boy of Shainen Village, every woman wanted him. And why wouldn’t t...

“Starshine” by Lady Senie

Submitted to Contest #238

“Again, this is not a drill.  The Emergency Broadcast System has been activated for this crisis!  We’re not quite sure what is going on, but we know that it is affecting cities worldwide.  London first reported it and it only happens at night!  Oh, Jesus, the sun is about to set,” the panicked voice of my favorite newscaster almost broke on that last word.  He firmed up his voice, seeming to stiffen his upper lip to deliver his final message.  “Please remain calm and whatever you do, get…” Static overwhelmed the...

“Return of the Mac” by Lady Senie

Lidya smashed her head against the floor of the attic, hardly flinching at the pain. This had often been her escape from the life she’d led since could remember. God! She couldn’t wait to turn 18 and go off to college! Somewhere where she could be herself. Somewhere where she could possibly find people who thought like her, spoke like her, and cherished the things she did!

“When George met Kara a.k.a When Blind Dates Attack” by Lady Senie

George made his way into the room looking like a condemned man walking the Green Mile.  His button-down dress shirt was itchy, his new dress slacks chafed his legs, and the tie his sister had fastened on him on the way out the door was blocking his airway.  Hey, there was a thought!  Maybe if he fainted, he could be excused from this-  “Hello?  Are you George ...

“The Crash” by Lady Senie

Submitted to Contest #233

Monday, January 1, 2018 I’m finally doing it!  My best friend Carl doesn’t believe me that I can make it through January without a single drink, but I know I can.  He pointed out that I tried this challenge before last year.  And the year before that.  And the year before that…  No, I am a man who truly enjoys alcohol.  It’s been my friend, my comforter, m...

“Let Your Light Shine” by Lady Senie

Erica huffed from the backseat of the rental car. Why her? Only her stupid family would get so excited about the possibility of seeing the Aurora Borealis for themselves. What was the big deal anyway? She’d seen pictures of the phenomenon on the internet. It looked cool enough, but not cool enough to catch a plane to this frozen wasteland in the dead of Winter. She was cut off from her friends up here in Alaska - no cell service - and was much more interested in what Greg Milacent was doin...

“Technical Difficulties” by Lady Senie

“Houston, we have a problem.” My daughter shot me a dirty look before going back to her staring contest with the hourglass icon on her phone.  She’d been staring at it unblinkingly for the last forty-five minutes, as if she could will the stupid phone to connect with the internet.  But that wasn’t going to happen.  The news said that the system would be down for several more hours.  Every service provider was af...

“All Gone Wrong” by Lady Senie

Submitted to Contest #140

There are times when making love would definitely be the better part of valor.   My partner, Jeffrey, often jokes that ‘screwing for my country’ is in my job description.  Why couldn’t this have been like my other assignments?  You know; action-packed, but ultimately predictable and boring after fifteen years of service? Setting the question aside, I took a goon down with a spin kick, then buried a handy...

“Jai Ho” by Lady Senie

Submitted to Contest #139

Tuesday, February 5, 2019 Just an ordinary Tuesday, or so you would think.  But I saw him again; the most beautiful man I’ve ever laid eyes on.  He was hanging with his friends like I was, so I faked having to tie my shoes just so that I could look at him a little longer.  I don’t know what it is about him…  Like this magnetic pull towards him.  I love looking at those amazing blue eyes.  They a...

“Little Acts” by Lady Senie

Submitted to Contest #135

It was time.   The decision had been up in the air for so long that the woman had to honestly think about what decision she had decided to make.  The woman stared at her computer screen blankly, her expressive brown eyes looking over the multiple tabs opened on her computer.  She’d done so much research over the last few months!  Coming at her book from ...
