by TheShack • 01/23/2026 • XL “Please Lily! Just cast this one spell for me, please! They’ll be here any moment now!” you plead, holding on to your roommate's legs like a newborn koala even as she tries to kick you off her personal space “Ryan, that’s a disgusting misuse of my magic. I am not making you into Emily’s dream stud, just date her like a normal person, you creep!” Lily’s words would normally serve to enhance your shame, if you had any of it left at this point, most of it went down the drain the moment you set up a movie night with your best friend and his sister just to hit on her “Please just do this for me! You know I’ve had a crush on her for years now, and it’s not like you are going to mind control her or something, please!” that last please comes out with enough energy to finally break her patience, because one deep sigh later she lets out the word you so desperately want to hear “Fine” her simple response and flick of a glowing wrist doesn’t prepare your body ...

When Joe spiked my punch on graduation night he used a month-long dose.” “I thought he said it was just a few days.” “Well, he lied.” “God, are you okay?” “Well, my mom wasn’t too cool with me walking around the house in my gym shorts with my dad around. Luckily your parents asked if I could house sit and stay in your room until I get better” “That’s good. Oh, honey. I hope you get better. I miss my boyfriend and I’m so sad you have to spend half the summer before college that way.” “It’s okay. Can I borrow your clothes?” “Sure.” “How’s the study abroad going?” “Oh, I love it. The archaeological site is amazing and I love the professor. He’s astounding and I’m learning so much.” “That’s great.” “Oh, hey. Is my brother home from his medical mission?” “Dan’s here. He got in two days ago. We’ve been hanging out.” “Oh great! I’m glad you have company.” “Me too.” “So what are...

The party is in a lodge just around the bend." "I can drive, but first we need to talk. How did you get all the way here?" "I ran down the road." Not to mention I did it in Fiona's fucking heels. My feet were killing me. . . "No. I mean here . At your wedding. Ready to walk down the aisle. And now you're leaving him at the alter?" I sighed. "He doesn't know I left yet. I snuck out." "Don't you love him?" "Of course I love him! But I can't marry him!" The image of the wandering woman flashed in my mind. I had nicked the corner of her cart as I sped down forest roads on the way to my best friend's wedding yesterday. From my window I berated her for pulling it down the center of the road. There are other guests comin...

  by blquick • 01/06/2025 • L Friend: for the longest time I couldn't square the circular logic of our resemblance, even as we stood at our graduation side by side, our parents laughing at how alike we looked. My family had moved from far across the country a few years back and there was no seeming relation. Only when I was housesitting for your parents while you were away on vacation this summer did things begin to align. Deep in the recesses of your attic I found the box of photos — your grandfather's — he a man with a great love of woman and, undeniably, a great one in your grandmother. My eyes poured over her body and gradually grew fixated on her eyes. Oh god, how I stumbled to the creaking floor of your attic when I saw my eyes looking back at me through hers? Then I looked down to her breasts. I could feel them on my chest in an instant. The portal stone that I had found in the cave behind our neighborhood began to glow in my pocket, a deep pink glow I could feel in conc...

  by blquick • 09/22/2024 • XL If I had woken up first it would have all been different. I had agreed to Nick's stupid plan. For me to be his date to the governor's ball. "I can't even walk in heels," I had said. "Well can you learn for $5,000?" I bit my lip. I nodded. It was about the connections he would make. The chance to rub shoulders with the countless business interests that would be at the event. "We have to doll you up. I hired the best fashion consultants in town." I shook my head, trying to act cool, but already thinking about what I'd do with the money. I've been building out a woodworking shop. I have a lot of equipment — but I want to buy more. "Isn't a call girl cheaper?" He frowned. "Are you kidding? I don't need the $5,000, this is an investment! Besides, all the politicians know them. I need to impress. And I need someone who can keep a secret." "Why not Nancy?" I suggested her fli...
