Edited by Michael-Leonard * Prolog It was a beautiful warm sunny day in the Valley of the Sun, just perfect for a Sunday drive with the family. Mike Stevens sat behind the wheel of his vintage Mustang convertible. Beside him, his beautiful, eight month pregnant wife Jennifer, leaned back in the bucket seat; eyes closed absorbing the warmth from the late O...
AUTHORS NOTE: Hi there, Arch here. Okay, so I'm a sucker for punishment. I'll try again! Hi to the readers of Loving Wives, hope you're all having a nice day. This story is conventional. Loving wife adores husband, husband loves wife unconditionally but the marriage has issues. There's lots of romance and heart ache here and I warn you ladies this one m...
For Lian. 'It is not enough that I succeed, everyone else must fail.' Genghis Khan. 'Be the change you want to see in the world.' Gandhi. ****** Cool air. He smelt damp and old stone, a little musty. Beneath it, fainter, the resinous smell of wood. "You alright, Jayden?" Gentle Irish lilt. "Yes, Father." He swallowed, nodded briefly, Father O'Connell...

Part 1 "What are you smoking?" River asked his girlfriend Mindy. "Is that marijuana? You can't smoke that! We're in school!" Mindy was indeed lighting up a small joint, even though they were right by their lockers in their high school's hallway. Class had actually let out about an hour ago, but the place was still busy with teachers, athletes, and other ki...
-- CHAPTER 4: Manhattan -- **** *-- JUNE (PRESENT DAY), ATHENS, GREECE --* "Jonathan, you were a lot harder to find than I thought." I felt my whole world rocked as I recognized the voice. Perhaps it was the yacht. Even tied up at its berth, the boat swayed gently on the harbor waves. But the point is, my entire sense of balance went off-kilter as Cassan...
Hey Folks. This one took a while. After "Sparty Party" I had a lot of things to do for my classes and a few for my gorgeous wife. This was originally meant as a Halloween story, but I think it's okay any way. Thanks for Barney -R doing his usual editing wizardry. Thanks also to all of the wolverine fans and Spartan fans who realized that "Sparty Party" was t...
Dawn over Drastin's Fall was an eerie affair. The dim white sun crept over the horizon, illuminating the city in a ghostly pale glow - locally this time had come to be known as "corpselight". Considering the nature of the city, the name was quite appropriate. For over one-hundred-and-twenty-years, the planet Nobruna in the Beta2 Sagittarii system had been t...
Hey Folks, this one is kind of twisty. It's more of a character study than a fable. There are no sterling examples of humanity here, only several very flawed people who make the best of a bad situation. The only thing about this story that is a Sterling example of anything would be the job that Barney-R did in editing it. But I think it's a good story for a...
Before we get started I feel there is something I must clarify. The use of Eric's abilities by the Mother's to impregnate hosts does not have to directly include him. Through the use of their tongues and milk they are able to 'harvest' his essence for use with their own human wards. This partly frees up Eric to enjoy other parts of his strange new life. Incl...
