Re: The Apartment - Part 14

Thank you Jim, Mr. Smith, and of course Belinda :D Your feedback and encouragement keeps me going! I like to add slang terms and nicknames to my stories, partly because English (especially American) speakers love to come up with new words, partly because many of my characters are young people who se...

Re: Story status

Part 14 is posted; next up is a bit of a digression I'm calling 14.5 - I think you'll all like it, and it's the last detour before I pick up the main story again in part 15. 14.5 is coming along well, I'm certainly enjoying writing it :D Hopefully it will be out very soon. I'm guessing this freakin'...

The Apartment - Part 14

“That did not go the way I expected,” Will said. “Yeah, me neither,” Yin said. “Wow.” “Yeah,” Jane said, still staring at the closed door. She felt the weight of the gun in her pants; at the same time she felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. “You ever seen anything like that?” Will ...

The Apartment - Part 13

Kinda hesitant/unsure about this one, but I assure you this *is* going somewhere! ====================================================== Jane walked across the HCI concourse toward the exit, mostly looking at her phone and trying to forget the lesbian threesome underway in the locker room she’d just...

The Apartment - Part 12

Jane walked out of the exit and back on to the public concourse. She had her phone to her ear and was murmuring, “C’mon, c’mon, pick up…” Not paying close attention to her surroundings, she was startled when Sassy, er, Victoria appeared in front of her, bowing her head in greeting. “Oh!” Jane exclai...

The Apartment - Part 11

Greetings all! Sorry for the delay, life has been eating me alive recently. The part below was originally the first half of a much longer chapter, but I wanted to get something posted so I made it a separate chapter. No sex in this one - that's coming next! - but more character development. Don't wo...

Re: The Apartment - Part 1

And please say hello to Joe for me: his latest chapter of "Any Chance?" Auction on Lit is a big inspiration for part 11, coming up :D

The Apartment - Part 10

Jane had, as Domino Carminia might put it, “picked up a tail.” Leaving SFS to return home, she noticed a dark red Jeep 4x4 pulling out of the parking lot across the road from the SFS office. It followed her out of the office park, taking the same on-ramp to the highway, staying a car or two behind h...

Re: Story status

Yeah, thanks for checking :D

Two things:
1. my job is in the process of eating me alive for the next few days
2. part 10 is pivotal, and I changed a part of the plot, so I'm rewriting it in order to make sense

So yes, the usual... I hope to have it up this weekend!

I've almost finished part 10, and will have it up soon - possibly tomorrow (Tuesday).

That's the end of what I've written up to this point. The remaining parts - three or four? - will come out as quickly as possible, but I don't know exactly when. Fear not, I will finish this story!

The Apartment - Part 9

This is all for now; back with more chapters starting on Monday! ———————————————————————— Jane set aside her laptop (a battered old PC with a band sticker - Scrunchy Poison - on the lid) and took a long stretch. After she’d said goodbye to Cassie, Jane had started for home, basically on autopilot wh...

Nothing much sexual in this one, just moving the plot along. Tomorrow will make up for it ;) ———————————————————————— “What was that all about?” Jane asked. “Why Jane, whatever do you mean?” Cassie replied, all sweetness and innocence. “Cassie, you know what I mean,” Jane demanded. “You mean getting...

The Apartment - Part 7

Jane and Cassie sat at a small table in the uninspiringly-named Global Trader’s Cafe , inside the mall at HCI, drinking food-court-grade cappuccinos. Cassie is dressed all crunchy granola today , Jane observed, wearing a denim slip dress over a tee shirt and sandals, beaded jewelry, her long hair lo...

The Apartment - Part 6

Jane clocked in at the front office and made a beeline for the coffee pot. She poured a cup and was doctoring it (she was never a fan of straight black coffee) when her boss, Will, called to her from his office. “What’s up, jefe ?” She asked, leaning in his doorway. “Hey,” he said, smiling up at her...

The three women wandered around the concourse, a huge open area like a mall with small shops and kiosks running up and down both sides. In the center was a series of raised platforms, most having displays of some kind or another, all having to do with slavery, and nearly all had tourists milling aro...
