I scoffed, disgusted, and without thinking said, "Kristy was right."

"It's interesting that you say that," Arrow observed.
"Have you thought about why she told me about you?"

Chapter 33

*Before…

I’m scared.

Today was supposed to be stress free Me-day.

But…but if I’m ever to be with my friends and stuff shouldn’t their families get to know me? Used to me at least some before I come out?

Maybe see I’m just me before one of those other opinions goes around.

Deep breath…several.

Screw up my courage.

I’m going to go.

I need to take my own steps and be brave…brave enough to start being the real me.

I head downstairs. “Mom…Dad…?”

*And Now…

Equine Audition

By Paul Calhoun

The centaur concept is one I've been bouncing around in my head for longer than the unicorn story. It's one of the oldest ideas I've had that hasn't already been written out. It started with just a guy who buys a centaur costume with a mechanical back end for a party and finds a very realistic female top to go with it. I added bottoms later and planned on there being some seduction. Then I had the idea of the centaur being a guy in a girl costume with a machine back claiming to be TWO girls in a suit and that the rear girl was shy and getting people to interact with the shy girl while the front one had sexy times eventually leading up to tricking people into taking the shy girl's place because she'd 'gotten embarrassed.' All of this is still possible with the current ensemble, but I wanted something more. And so came the story that went about 10,000 words over what I'd planned.

Actual synopsis: An actor is invited to a costume party to audition for a prestigious theater and ends up going as a cute centaur dryad.

The following story is just that- a story- fiction. As such, all characters are fictitious and any similarities to persons living or deceased are purely coincidental. Some research has been done for authenticity and so I didn’t screw it up too bad. Just so I don’t receive nasty-grams from any WWII vets, the Balao class submarine, keel number 353, was never built. No military missions of this sort actually occurred in the areas at the dates specified.

“What is it, dear?”

ATALANTA'S STORY Chapter One written by Katelyn and edited by William Durr. A boy and his mother move to New Mexico for a new start after her husband and his father goes down over Iraq. The "Land of Enchantment" gives him more than he bargained for.I copied and pasted this from word and the paragraphs didn't format with a space between. Any errors are mine not Bill's. This is my first attempt but I would like your comments. Also this story starts slow but the pace does pick up and it is complete.

The life of a physicist can be troubling, at times, as the universe doesn't always play well with others.

But even the universe can't break a true promise.

CHAPTER 8
She was in another floaty thing. I don't wear that sort of thing myself, but I can appreciate it on another woman. There's a lot of crap spouted about women like me, women like us. Who's the 'man', which one's the 'woman'? It's not like that, at least with me. I just find men odd. Not exactly repellent, not truly disgusting, but just wrong, profoundly so. I wondered whether that was how Sar had felt, from the inside?
