On this particular evening we all gathered at Mark’s apartment, bought booze and snacks and set ready to watch the CL quarter-final game. We got together one hour before the kick-off because we needed some time to prepare everything, cool the drinks, and prepare the snacks, so that we can be ready once the game …

The Chair Ch. 08
It had been about 2 weeks since their test run with Lisa and Nicki [see Chapter 7]. He had taken the down-time to make some minor modifications and also some additions. He was just buttoning up the base unit when Nicki called. She was wondering if she might get to try out The Chair again. …
Amanda
He was in his mid forties and spent the majority of those years languishing in complete obscurity. Its clichéd to say but he was just one of those people that did not stand out in a crowd. It wasn’t that he chose to be this way, it was just the hand that life dealt him …
The Ad She was Waiting For
Chapter 1 Julie read the ad dozens of times. She was so conflicted between hope and dread. If the offer is genuine it could be the luck of her young life. If not it could spin her down even further. At 26, with a law degree, she was switching between small jobs without any future. …
Blurred Lines
I had heard the song before. I’m sure you have too, a thousand times. Blurred lines. I know you want it. For most of last summer, it was the only song on the radio. Being a forty-five year old father of two, I wasn’t exactly the target demographic. The only reason I remembered the name …
Alison’s Younger Man
“Mr. Thompson? Are you home? Hello? Mr. Thompson, it’s Alison Campbell. Hello?” Alison Campbell, real estate agent to the extraordinary, lifetime member of the Million Dollar Club, let herself into the condo of Peter Thompson, the writer to whom she had made her latest sale. She had knocked and then used the key she had …
Snaps
I arrived at the hotel late on Sunday afternoon. The conference wasn’t due to start until the following afternoon and, as far as I could make out, most of the delegates were not planning to arrive until the Monday morning. Still, being one of the few early arrivals suited me fine. I’d had a hectic …
fra amici
fra amici Erano gli anni 90, gli anni delle videocassette vhs e dei film porno guardati con gli amici il pomeriggio a casa di chi aveva i genitori al lavoro. Quel giorno presi la bici e andai a casa di Martino com’ero solito fare tutti i giorni, avremmo aspettato gli altri amici per poi metterci …
ci pensa la mamma IV
ci pensa la mamma IV Arrivò il fine settimana, di solito niente scuola. Solo pochi compiti e poi a passeggio, a volte con mamma ed a volte con gli amici. Quel week end era diverso. Avrebbero voluto passarlo insieme a Fiamma, a casa, continuando quel gioco, baciandosi e toccandosi come il giorno prima; per provare …
Nella vasca
Nella vasca Ero in bagno. Stavo nella vasca. Avevo il cazzo in mano e lo menavo avidamente. Pensavo alla proff di latino: quaranta anni, alta, mora con due tette enormi, e la fissa per le maglie scollate. In classe occupavo il primo banco, fila centrale, davanti la cattedra. Solitamente ai primi banchi ci si siedono …
