For several days, Alec Freeman had felt eyes on him; someone watching him until he could have jumped out of his skin at being addressed by a friend. The feeling preyed on his usually steel nerves. Even his boss, Ed Straker, had noticed there was something amiss. “Alec, you’re jumpy.” Ed eyed him curiously. He let out a brief laugh, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. “Yeah. I’ve felt…
By: Loopstagirl (author) Gordon let his eyes flicker open, a smile immediately leaping onto his face as he breathed in sharply through his nose, allowing the oxygen to flood his senses and bring him round further. He loved today. Possibly one of his favourite days of the year. It was the one day he could truly be himself, and no one would expect anything less. In fact, they were…
07.10 I was awake long before he realised. I remember the feel of his hand as he tucked the duvet around me, and I hoped for a surreptitious kiss, but… nothing. Like I was a stranger. And then, much later, after he had brought me a coffee, had sat on the very edge of the bed, our bed, as if he was the stranger and not the man I had…
Chapter 1 ‘You have resisted us for the last time. The penalty is death.’ Alone, in a mirrored room, with odd angles of support on the reflecting wall surfaces, Greg listened to the commands in his head, blasted from a green pod from above, clean, machined, chrome cut, razor sharp commands, inside his butchered brain.

I wish I could say I didn’t know how it happened; that I was overpowered, raped, forced into what I’ve become. But the truth is, I was seduced by what I thought I wanted from a man I’d barely met and certainly did not know until I was no longer who and what I had been. I wish I could say I’m sorry it happened, that I regret what I’ve…
Author: Loopstagirl As his seat slowly switched back into the horizontal position, Scott found himself breathing in deeply as he coaxed more and more speed out of his ‘bird. He knew he had a few moments before chaos flurried back into life once more. But it was these few moments, where all was still, that gave the man the moment of calm he needed. In a couple of moments, Virgil…
2.20 – 3.20 a.m. The mantle clock, an old family heirloom, was chiming half past as he quietly navigated the obstacle course that was the lounge at night. Half-past.

“The lower pasture is flooded.” The voice was unfamiliar. Ed Straker looked up to see … he blinked. In an uncharacteristic gesture he rubbed his eyes and wondered when the last time he’d slept was.
