wildly around him.
Two guards came in from
the hall and seized Putnam and
securely bound him
and fastened him to
a post, where he glared as she
stripped Dolph to his shorts.
“Uhm, the part I love
most,” she glanced at Frank. “I know
how much you like sports!”
Frank saw that CJ
had beamed up a shipment of
what Alex had meant
when she had referred
to “ the right equipment” for
an all-night event.
Frank screamed, though gagged, and
he fought the ropes, which were strong,
the knots sure and tight.
He nearly went mad
when she played his song, and he
watched, his knuckles white.




I just read most of them through the link on 2272. Wow. Well done guys.

Frank a dose as the crew trailed
off to the showers.
Frank went from raging
to lacrymose as the moans
went on for hours.
CJ, hungry for

“I’ll help you with a
story plot,” she teased. “I’m good
at creating mood.”

Enterprise, Spock cleared his
throat. “Uhm, more or less,
the spectrometer
classifies it as a chub-
by diner waitress.”
Down at Bertha’s Grill,
the cook yelled, “Deb, there’s plates in
the order window!”
Then he went out to
take a look. “Now, where,” he scratched
his head, “did she go?”
Edward designed a
new dungeon of dread for the
game Saturday night.
Kat, with her notebook,
reclined on her bed, writing
of Liam’s last fight.
M opened his door
to find, basking nude, a girl
in a sauna bath.

Where his bed had been were racks
of towels and lotions.
He was doomed to get
in--he knew from her smile, from
her fingers’ motions.
Taking off his shirt
and pants, he exclaimed, “What have
you done with my bed?”
She gave him a soft,
reproving glance. “I’ve just the
place to lay your head.”

Mr. Spock, “indicate things
that don’t compute.”
Kirk rolled his eyes. “Cut
the schlock.” Spock sighed, “I just heard
someone exclaim, ‘Woot!’”

he reeled toward the hulking
gym and science hall.
The phone rang at Dolph’s
house. His mom answered, her voice

“My, what a stallion!”
She yawned and stretched her
long, pale legs. “Next time, though, I
want an Italian.”

he hadn’t rested.
“Women who don’t get
like that,” he glanced at her, “are
mighty flat-chested.”

stiff with Tanqueray.
He couldn’t find his
other shoe, and what else on

I’ve washed the plates. Now

of something creepy.

for dessert, dark chocolate
by Ghirardelli.
How am I supposed
to stay alert when there’s so

Whenever I go
to the hall and wander past

One summer, there was an advanced drawing class I really wanted to take, that had a great teacher, and it almost didn’t make. I think there were five or six students in it. I remember getting a call from the secretary that they were going ahead with the class, and what a relief that was!
