Literotica is very proud to have survived twenty-five years. They wanted the authors to drop everything and scribble madly about the number twenty-five. Most said it would take months, possibly years, to produce a story. I did this in about two hours and twenty-five minutes, and it shows.
Only two categories really get read, and this isn't incest, so it's in loving wives.

"Good evening and welcome to Insincere Support. This is our twenty-fifth year in operation. My name is John Lennon and were here to help you understand that there are no problems, only solutions."
He was dressed work casual, unlike the majority in attendance this evening. Most looked uncomfortable. I'm the security guard for this venue so I don't care.
"There's twenty-five of you here this evening. We'll be passing a jar around. Inside are paper slips numbered one through twenty-five. You'll each pull a number from the jar and when I pull the matching number from my jar it will be time for you to share your story. Does everyone understand?" he continued calmly.
Twenty-five heads more or less nodded in agreement.
"First up is number twelve" produced one groan and lots of sighs of relief.
A middle age guy stood quickly.
"It's been three days shy of two fortnights since my wife announced she was having an affair. We just celebrated our twenty-fifth anniversary."
As would become the pattern, lots of useless, cruel, and unusual comments of support were offered.
