I'd missed yet another college journalism assignment. This was getting to be a bad habit. Rolling her eyes in exasperation, Miss Roland decided to give up her time and stay back to help me. I wasn't missing the assignments on purpose; my baseball schedule had recently been flooded with make up games the past 3 weeks, making keeping up with classes very...imp...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Here's chapter two of Decisions or Fate. The name of the story will come into play later in the story. Once again this chapter involves more character development but I promise, I spiced it up quite a bit in chapter three and threw in a few surprises too. And as always I'd like to apologize ahead of time about my grammar, I tried. Well, I ho...
Just another day I thought, sitting on the side of the road in 90 degree heat, watching the traffic go by. I was hoping that all would remain quiet so the AC in the car would keep me comfortable. In being the middle of July, it was all you could do to stay cool and comfortable. I am a Cop, sitting on the side of the road doing radar is what I get paid for, n...
Another quick one while I work on some longer pieces. Sometimes you just need to write a story and actually finish it, you know? This is another of my stories that are heavy on the dialogue. If you don't care for that style consider yourself warned. I'm aware that this isn't an original premise but having read quite a few stories here I can't cite an indiv...
Clarissa turned around and came face to face with the voice. Sure enough, it was street car girl. She stood with one hand on her hip looking quite hot and unimpressed at the same time.

My hour night comes around at last. All day I felt its pull. I knew I had to be far away from Ottawa, Ontario, before the full moon rose. So I boarded the bus to Kanata, and wandered into the vast fields near the town's business center. Everywhere I looked, I saw absolutely no sign of human life. This, only a few dozen miles from the Capital. Wow. At last I...
It was a pleasant day at the city-planet Majestic, the holographic screens the formed the heavens projecting a clear summer's day, all mauve sky with a smattering of pale clouds. Not that it was visible through the hazy smog of the Citadel that was. Such an imposing name for such a seedy structure. Captain Aston 'Noble' Shakespeare had visited the shady plan...
The events of the night before left everyone weary and troubled. A lot had happened in a mere 24 hours. Too much as far as they were concerned. Yet, the group all pulled together and dealt with it. Slumber for some was easy. For others less mentally relaxing. As the sun rose to a brand new day only Jack and Ruby were up with the proverbial chickens. Cows to...
Everest Nelson has got a story, and it was one for years he'd been planning on taking with him to the grave. But time and age had remained with him all through the years. He was thirty years old when the incident of the story occurred to him, and now he was in his early eighties, sitting beside a table in his hostel-like room located in a nursing home that w...
