"All right, ladies, great job! That's all for tonight! See you all next week!"
 
Lucy let her body fall to the mat with a heavy thud, and there she lay for several moments, simply trying to catch her breath. Most of her dance aerobic classmates didn't even glance downward to see if she was OK before they all filed out of the room, laughing and gabbing as they collected their personal belongings. Many made plans to hang out together later on. But no one waited for Lucy. It was lon

Hard to believe that it's that time of year again. The holiday season seems to just fly by every twelve months. But everyone knows that the season isn't really over until the office holiday party arrives. It was always scheduled in mid-to-late January, meaning that just when you were finally settling into your New Year's Resolutions, promising yourself you would be good this year, then the party comes around and you know you have to take a deep breath and survive one more night of festivities.

"Okay, people let's get this show on the road! Where the hell is the new talent? Get her out here, doesn't she know we're on a schedule?!"
 
Rina was fully aware that this director was indeed trying to shoot his film in a hurry. But she was having reservations about this role. She hadn't been entirely aware of what she was signing up for when she agreed to the part. Yes, she was a struggling young actress trying to make it in this business and work was hard to come by. But was sh

The roar of the crowd just outside the walls was deafening. Tens of thousands of frantic voices crying out as one, trying to urge the home team to take control of the game, take back some momentum just before the intermission. Nothing was falling in favor of the hosts, and they were getting trounced by their longtime rivals. The crowd was not pleased, to say the least. As the clock ticked down to zero, perhaps the halftime entertainment would lift their spirits.

Deep in the furthest reaches of outer space, a rather unpleasant-looking spaceship drifted without obvious purpose. It was rundown, and looked as if it should be bound for the scrapyard. But if you knew what you were looking for, this was just the place to go if you were a young Jeldinian with time and money to spare.
 
One such Jeldinian, a youth whose name would translate roughly to 'Splort,' nervously docked his space cruiser with the derelict craft and cautiously made his way ab

She couldn't help but be nervous as she made her way through the kitchen. Oh, she was most definitely excited, but she didn't really know how this was going to turn out. But they say there is a first time for everything. So she didn't pause for more than a moment before she opened up the cupboards and refrigerator and began methodically assembling the ingredients.
 
She buttered the bottom bun with mayonnaise and laid a thin bed of crisp lettuce and juicy tomato slices on top. A droplet o

Dana's
eyes slowly fluttered open. She was so groggy, not entirely sure
where she was, or what was going on. She must be dreaming. Why else
would she be naked? She never went to bed naked. But here she was,
cold and naked as the day she was born. And floating, no less. 
"Yeah.
Definitely dreaming. Might as well enjoy it," she thought
silently.
Dana
tried to focus her eyes, but there was so little light around her
that it was difficult to do so. She seemed to be submerged in water.

The
air outside the club was heavy with moisture, the temperature sitting
in the high 80's even this late at night. Inside it wasn't much
cooler, as all those bodies dancing so close together generated more
heat than the air conditioning could keep up with. But Katy didn't
mind. She loved this scene. She came here every night that she could
just to soak it all in. She had an addiction she couldn't fight; a
hunger she had to feed.
Katy
was young and pretty. 19 years old, tall and slender, her blo
