"You will be the warrior ant," said the general in the green camouflage combat gear. The black beret was sideways on his head. The flaps on the shoulders were highly decorated by blue, yellow, and black decorations. The two young corporals were standing at attention and eyeing the topographic map. The tent shook lightly in the wind. A heavy diesel truck acce...
Chapter 1: Overcloned Streek shambled into mess room of the Star ship and yawned. The strong aroma of coffee hit him and he moved toward the coffee machine. Ben had already made a pot of coffee, which only involved pressing a button on the machine. It was just past nine hundred hours, Standard Galactic Time. While traveling in through space you couldn't te...
It's a quiet, hot day in my top floor apartment. The massive leather couch sits in the corner next to the balcony doors. They must be about 8 feet high and 12 feet wide, creating a massive window onto the buzzing city of Bangkok.

They boasted large campsites where the campers, tents and trailers were not lined up like cars in a shopping center parking lot, but were scattered among the trees. Our children slept in one te...
Walking into the lobby for yet another lengthy stay in beautiful Hiroshima City. The throng of people chattering and milling around remind you of worker ants building a new home. With a resigned sigh you step up to take your place in the long line and await your turn to check in. Setting your bags on the floor you glance around the lobby. The lilting sound...
The car accident had left me in almost a full body cast. My back had been broken with no damage to my spinal cord. The doctor's said there would be no paralysis, though my recovery would be long and arduous. I thought the time in the hospital, held nearly immobile with plaster and splints would be the worst of it though. Along with broken legs and arms, my j...
