Alan stood for a long time trying to think of what he would do with Winifrey. She was unconscious for now, but still alive. When she came to her senses she would be twice as dangerous. He only promised the Master Genie that he would deal with the magi. He had never said that he would kill them. He was morally okay with taking a life to save the life of anoth...
A great banner fluttered in the smoky battlefield, a black crescent moon with a rich violet backdrop marking its heraldry. Accompanying the sound of billowing cloth, was also the crackle of fire and the cries of the dying. War had come to Camelot. Morgana strut among the dead, back to her command tent as her warriors went about burning the dead and dying. T...
I met James Dennis at a nearby café and, after coffee and doughnuts; we walked two blocks to the train station and waited for the train to arrive. I should take a moment to describe Mr. James Dennis to the reader. He was a tall, well-favored young man, dressed to the nines in tight-fitting dark brown slacks which were pegged at the cuffs in the current fas...
Chapter 1 The Heart of a Dominant What the hell was happening in Georgia? And why did it always seem to happen the minute his back was turned? It wasn't as if he turned his back that often. One month. Not even one brief month. Not even thirty days. That was all he'd been away. It was only the third time in nearly three years that Donovan had left Georgi...
Steve was surprised only by how quickly Gwen's detractors had managed to set things in motion. He had expected the 'dance' to begin during the summer recess. He was already feeling quite irritated when he was stopped by a TV reporter as he made his way through the airport. "Can you shed any light on these ethics violation accusations? What exactly is Gwen A...
Annie was quietly pleased that the roster had teamed her up with Jess for the day; there were some girls on the payroll that she was fond of, some that she really loathed and others that fitted somewhere between provoking neither fun nor fury. Jess fitted into the middle category and made herself desirable for the work of the day simply because she was a ple...
No one saw the company commander as he quietly stepped into the rec tent where his Marines were unwinding from the heavy fighting that afternoon. As he looked around the room, he didn't see black, white, or brown. He only saw green and he'd gladly give his life for any one of them, and he knew they felt the same way about him. Officers were afforded a certa...
"Sweetheart, it's so good to see you again!" My mom repeats herself, for maybe the third time, as we're sitting down in the kitchen. "I know it's not 'cool' to say stuff like this, but it made me feel so much better that you called so often when you and your friend were on your road trip" "Of course, Mom," I say. "We had so much fun. The best parts, honestl...
At Grover Cleveland High the swimming classes were held in the vast echoey basement pool, smelling of chlorine. There were bleachers rising on both sides to be packed out in the event of a competition. There were Corinthian columns and painted windows in the upper walls. The atmosphere was gloomy and... Well, full of possibility. For one reason. Classes...
Remember, this is a tribute to DQS1. Did you really think I would stop this soon? .................................................. She sat there, shocked so badly she couldn't even cry. He really was gone. She looked over at Bill. "Is it really over?" "I'm afraid so. For what it's worth, there was a couple of times when I thought you two would make it...
