Was a time I did not believe in The Inexplicable. You know, the things that people call “supernatural” or “miraculous.” Ghosts. The Fay. Angels. Mythology. But that was before I started working at Floggin’ Brews. The Inexplicable happens here on a regular basis, and I’d kind of gotten used to it. For instance, I half-expected […]
Snow was falling slowly outside the windows of Floggin’ Brews. What with the holiday decorations, the place felt like the inside of a Christmas card. Okay, a kinky Christmas card. Boss seemed to be thoroughly enjoying Her tree. She had added to the original red paracord decorations by finding small sparkly objects — a bottlecap, […]
It was after Thanksgiving and barely December when I finally asked Mikhel about whether Floggin’ Brews was going to be decorated for the holidays. “I haven’t discussed it with Boss. What do you think?” I hadn’t expected to be consulted, but I always have opinions. “I think it would be great. It’s so dark outside, […]
It’s never too busy on a Tuesday evening, so I noticed Rick as soon as he walked in the door. Rick had been a fellow server at Bibi’s, the bar I worked at before I found Floggin’ Brews. Or maybe Floggin’ Brews found me. “Rick! Pull up a chair and tell me how you’ve been!” […]
Mysteries have always nagged at me – I want an explanation, not just an unanswered question. Floggin’ Brews’ distributor is a mysterious character. Let’s just call them “they” – I am not sure if the person is male or female and I’ve never spoken with them. They don’t usually come when I’m around. Usually, I […]
Brita worked a few hours every Sunday and Monday evening. Mostly she helped clean the place: sweeping, mopping, organizing the recycling, taking the trash out to the dumpster, that kind of thing. Mikhel had spoken to her caseworker and assured him that Brita’s job did not involve anything that might be considered morally questionable, so […]
There was a new bottle among the liqueurs behind the bar. It appeared to be crystal and had a fancy stopper shaped like a water drop. The label was hand-lettered and read “White Male Tears.” “Where did this come from? It’s a joke, right?” I turned to Mikhel, truly puzzled. We have a lot of […]
Things were always a little more crazy on party nights. It makes sense: kinksters were there to have some fun that they couldn’t find elsewhere. Some of them were there to find new things or new folks to have fun with, so most parties had a vibe where some experimentation was welcome. The kink community […]
It had been a long and rainy Sunday at Floggin’ Brews – one of those days when people wanted to hunker down and watch the football game, or go somewhere that served hot food. The guests who made an appearance ordered more than usual from the Thai restaurant around the block, and most of them […]
“I’m just tired of falling for them harder than they fall for me,” Indi told me. “I know exactly how you feel.” I said. “But the reverse isn’t a lot of fun either.” It was a Saturday night and the AMUSE party was going full-tilt in the Theatre. Although the bar proper was technically open […]
