Chapter 2 - The Ride Home

It was half-way to my car that Brian grabbed my shoulder and stopped me.

"Hmm?" I asked, turning and looking up at him.

"Keys."

"What?"

"Gimme the keys."

I scoffed and tried to turn away, but his hand held me in place. "Why?"

Brian frowned. "Because you're still upset, and you scare the hell out of me when you drive upset."

"I'm not--"

"Hold out your hands."

"You c...

Jamie Lou -3- Motorbike

“Why?” Dennis wanted to know, “why do you have an egg in your pocket?” He was still smiling at me. The dusty lane behind the school buildings seemed somehow a magical place just because of his smile.

“Um, for lunch?” I said. “I knew someone would likely take any lunch money I had, so I brought an egg they wouldn’t likely take away from me, you know? So I would have something to eat?”

He shook his head. “You won’t have to worry about those guys again....

Sixteen the Hard Way -16.1- Words

We entered Nordstroms by the wide doors on the aisle between the Women’s section and the Misses’. Wide counters for perfumes, cosmetics and jewelry filled the center of the aisle. It was nothing less than a shopping Mecca of femininity.

I must have groaned because Mom told me, “No sound effects.” I settled for making a face and Donna laughed.

“What do you need most, honey?” Mom asked, looking around.

“A smoke grenade?” I suggested, but she ignored that.

Chapter 1 - Now Streaming

"You successfully make camp for the night on the moors, the whispering spirits on the wind doing little to interrupt your rest. You rise the next morning and... Lunea?"

"Ugh," I groaned, already knowing what was coming. I picked up my twenty-sided die and rolled it, then winced. "Five."

"With your--"

"That's with my con bonus."

Maria hissed through her teeth and gave me an apologetic look. "You...

Special FX -28- Sleeping on It

Instead of kissing Jack, I turned and stumbled back into my bedroom. “I’m-a going to bed until the world wakes up and makes sense,” I said to no one. I stumbled to my bed and tumbled into it.

I went under like a submarine in a WWII movie with the skipper shouting, “Dive! Dive!” while he was still on deck. An ocean of unconsciousness dragged me down into the depths of sleep, but when I emerged on a game show set, I wasn’t surprised.

Mike Myers was the host, doing his ob...

Pete's Vagina -28- Too Many Men on the Field

I paid for our meal and tried not to cringe as the waitress said goodbye to us.

“Don’t mind those old truckers. They’re harmless,” Phyllis assured us. “They hardly know how to act around pretty girls.”

Megan laughed and responded, “If they give us trouble, we’ll sic our boyfriends on them.”

I thought she laughed a little too hard at that. I didn’t dare make a sound for fear of it coming out as giggles. I just smiled, waved at Phyllis, and made my way to t...

ChatGPT TG story in the style of Stephen King

A story in the style of Stephen King about a boy who is inhabited by an evil spirit that makes him act like a girl and drink the blood of other boys turning them into girls, too, just to survive.

!

Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Timmy. Timmy was a normal boy, living a normal life with his parents in a small town. However, one day, while playing in the woods behind his house, Timmy stumbled upon an old, abandoned cabin. Being a curious boy, he decided to explore the ...

Quillian - Color Splash Test

This was a test page I did, experimenting with flat color. In later color images, Quillian's bikini was teal instead of red, at Daniel's request. He thought a red bikini was too cliché. :)

Sixteen the Hard Way - 15.3 - Colors

Buffy worked quickly, trimming my hair, then putting it in rollers. The perm solution stank like someone burning skunks, but at least she had warned me about it. She talked a lot actually, and eventually, I sort of tuned most of it out. I remember parts of her chatter though.

“I’m doing a soft perm here and it will be even softer when I do the color rinse afterward,” she explained. I didn’t nod; I’d been warned about that already, so I just grunted.

“Do you have a boyf...

Jamie Lou -2- Hard Boiled Egg

The bullies had no hope of catching us and probably didn’t try, not that I could even see as we made two quick turns, and they were out of sight.

“I’m Dennis, Dennis Fernandez,” my savior shouted in my ear.

I shouted back, “James Ludolph,” but he didn’t seem to hear me, just shaking his head and grinning. He wore one of those skull cap helmets like the badass bikers all seemed to prefer, so his ears weren’t really covered, but his bike was loud, and he probably cou...

Quillian -42- Sunrise and Sundown - Finale

There were four more pages written but Daniel wanted to do other things for a while. We had four or five more episodes plotted and briefly outlined but they were never drawn.

Is Quillian gone for good? Maybe not...

Jamie Lou (beginning)

I missed the bus my second day of high school and had to walk more than two miles to reach the campus. It’s always hot in September in Boudreau County, even at 8:30 in the morning, and by the time I got near enough to hear the tardy bell ring, I was soaked in sweat with my clothes sticking to me.

Already late now, I slowed my pace to a discouraged trudge but continued. I’d probably get detention and miss my bus after school and have to walk home too, so I really wasn’t in a hurry....

Pete's Vagina -27- Ineligible Receiver

I sat there, unable to react. I certainly couldn’t speak. The waitress had just casually referred to Megan and me as girls. Had I changed again? Was it obvious?

There had been that moment back in the motel when Megan stared at me, starting to say something about how I looked. She had stopped herself, but what had she been about to say?

And now, she and the waitress were prattling on, and I had no idea what they were talking about. I was looking at the far wall, somewhere between...

Jessie

The first time I remember, I must have been four. We had just moved into an old farmhouse west of Baltimore. Momma and our new daddy had a big bedroom, and my older sister Janice had a smaller one. I had my own room, but it was really a closet leftover from when the old house had been rebuilt after a fire.

It was certainly better than living with my grandparents in Esau, West Virginia, because we had indoor plumbing. No more spider-filled outhouses! This was in 1949, and I’m still afr...

Quillian -41- Undigested Monster Parts

Pretty gross, huh? :)

One thing people have asked is why did Ydde escape? Well, for the sequel, of course!

Unfortunately, the sequels and follow-ups were never done. :(

There's one more page of this presentation of Quillian. I hope you enjoyed it.

Sixteen the Hard Way -15.2 - Styling

One of the salon workers called out, “Joni?” and I raised my hand before starting toward the chair she indicated.

“I’m Buffy,” she announced as I turned to sit down.

“Buffy?” I asked, not sure I had heard right. It sounded like a name out of a sitcom.

“Yup,” she agreed, though I hoped she hadn’t heard my internal comment. “It’s a nickname for Elizabeth.”

I couldn’t resist. “What? Betsy wasn’t cute enough?” I winced, wishing I could tak...

New Year's Eve 2022 by Melanie E.

Eve looked her reflection in the eyes and smiled.

The dress was perfect. Just a little slinky, just a little flashy with its silken shimmer, but not so much as to scream 'look at me,' even if that was precisely what she wanted to shout.

"It will be enough," she reminded herself, just like she did every year. And just like every year, she marveled at the difference another year of preparations made to her appearance.

Mitchell's eyes were going to bug out of his head when he s...

Pete's Vagina -26- Calling an Audible

It wasn’t a lot of blood, but we ended up stripping the bed and running cold water in the sink on the sheet to maybe prevent staining. Megan knew this trick which I had never heard of. “We don’t have any salt, but I think it will still work,” she commented.

I had no opinion. My usual participation in the laundry was tossing dirty clothes in a hamper and folding clean ones, mine and sometimes the towels or linen. I cleaned myself up with a washcloth, but I ended up feeling sticky...

Quillian -40- Flushed with Victory

I  remember telling Daniel about this page and him protesting that he didn't think he could come up with a way to draw Quillian swallowing all the monsters.

I told him I had faith in him. :) I wasn't wrong.

Sixteen the Hard Way - 15.1 - Soggy

I sat silently for a bit, thinking about everything that had happened. Less than 24 hours before I had come home from school, planning to go out later to my babysitting job.

Everything had changed. Especially, me. I wasn’t even using the same name anymore. I glanced down. They were still there, the evidence of my “growth spurt.” I sighed. Was there even a chance that I could go back to being Jonny?

Probably not without surgery. And there was the possibility that maybe I’ve...

Pete's Vagina -25- Backfield in Motion

I guess I stared at the buzzing instrument a little too long. Megan took it back from me gently, saying, “I’ll show you how.” She clicked the device off, making me flinch again.

I nodded at her, numb.

“You can’t go right in,” Megan explained. “It might hurt. Hmm.” She found the tube of lube and applied a line from the tip halfway down the shaft. I watched, trying to stop my lip from quivering. I pulled the sheet across me, causing Megan’s eyebrows to go up.

Thanksgiving movies...

Over on My Cage Patreon, Ed (the writer) asked for everyone to post their favorite Thanksgiving movie. At first, I couldn't think of even one Thanksgiving movie but suddenly I remembered and this is what I posted:

My favorite has to be 1999's epic "Die Hard on a Thursday" when Jim Belushi as John McClane (Bruce Willis refused the part in this sequel) cried out, "Yippee-yippee-ay, turkey pluckers" as he toppled a gian...

Quillian -39- You Know What to Do!

This is a great page! Four monsters, Ydde, Q and Inkypus all in one frame! Daniel wasn't sure he could do it without crowding, but he did it!

Mike Sekowski (Justice League, Metal Men) might have been able to do it better but he would have charged too much!

Exhaustion

Allergies are kicking my butt. The beautiful weather of fall in Southern California is my bane. Something blooms this time of year that can set my nose, eyes and face on fire.

I woke up in the middle of the night Thursday morning and sneezed for two hours. It felt so much like going a few rounds with Mike Tyson that I checked to see if I still had both ears.

I slept most of Thursday after taking a BUNCH of allergy meds. Things are better today, but I am still wrung out. If you're ...

Pete's Vagina -24- Go Long

The clerk at the motel told us they only had one room left--second floor all the way back. “It’s only got one double bed, not a queen,” he warned.

“We’re only going to use one bed,” I said, and Megan giggled.

The clerk grinned and pointed at the football jersey I was still wearing. “Did we win?” He asked.

I nodded and got out of there. I knew he didn’t have any churros, and we had eaten ours on the road.

We made our way to the room, and I traded the k...

Special FX -27 - Second Thinking

For all of being a Jerk, Jack was a gentleman. He didn’t let me lie on the floor where I had fainted. I was already coming to when he scooped me up.

“I’ve got you, babygirl,” he murmured.

I laughed softly and put my arms around his neck. How much of that wine had I had? I had given him a round of shit for calling me ‘babygirl’ earlier, but at the moment, I kind of appreciated being babied.

He put me down on the couch; it would have been too awkward to take me int...

Sixteen the Hard Way -14- Not Flirting

“You know, those capris look good on you, Joni,” Donna mentioned as we left the restaurant after avoiding ordering cheesecake for dessert.

“Hmm,” I muttered, waiting for the zing.

But Mom interrupted before Donna got a charge up for a personal lightning bolt. “They really do, honey,” Mom agreed. “And I can’t believe how we missed seeing your shape for months, I guess,” she shook her head.

“Well, I…I grew some -uh- back there too, you know, last night.�...
