A story in the Dark Tales Universe

A Bob’s Life Story (1) The Year is 1972. Given that Bob was stupid at the age of 19, and still a virgin. Bob started hanging out with a guy of ill repute, and did a lot of stupid, dumb and idiotic things when with him. This included a visit to Esmeralda.
A Seedmaker Story (2) The Seedmakers are a race of genetically engineered males carefully selected for one thing only: breeding. They are hyper-virile beasts whose colossal muscles and endless stamina power their supermassive sexes into the wombs of the strongest, most fertile females of the Universe. This story follows the sexual exploits of one particular Seedmaker in his quest to unravel the mysteries behind his Creators... and his discovery of another equally fecund, equally powerful race of super females.
At this point in time, Joyce and Mike are down on their luck. But when a friend suggests an approach to restoring their financial security, more happens than just what's in the bank account!
