A quirky romance between two college students. This story began as a short story for a creative fiction class ten years ago and I've gradually been adding and re-editing it since. I'm reposting part one and adding the other three parts. There is no real explicit sex in Less than Half.
A Story in the Kobekistan Universe
In Kobekistan the Emir and his friends enjoy hunting, on horseback, with dogs. There are no foxes in Kobekistan so they hunt slaves, usually female, and the dogs they use are Irish Wolfhounds. Of course the "kill" is also different. Expensive slaves are not to be torn apart by dogs, so they are used to amuse the hunters. A little bit of everything hetero in here. Those of you who enjoyed Tamsin may well enjoy this.
First love in high school, and the mutual exploration that goes with it. Written in response to a challenge by Girl Friday at her Yahoo group for stories themed on a song.
She had a pockmarked face and a big fat ass. She was ungainly and lacking in social skills. Never mind that she was warm, loving, and, somewhere underneath it all, recklessly passionate. At 38 she was still a virgin.
After his father died, Martin and his mom were both alone. Life slowly started to feel normal again, but Martin could see his mother was still lonely. He wanted to make her happy, to be there for her. But as time passed, he began to notice things—how beautiful she looked, how soft her voice was, and how her body moved. At first, he just wanted to help her feel loved again… but soon, he started to feel something more. Something he shouldn’t feel.
