The roar of the falls filled the early morning air with the continuous deep growl of an angry ogre. Civilicus had to shout as he and Ciara leaned out to look over the edge of the steep cliff. Far below they saw the dark maw of a giant natural cave with the broad and shimmering long waterfall which fell from it. "This is the place where Lake Dark Starwater...
Chapter 5 Predator and Prey Keith was busy fixing the cabinet doors in one of the unit's bathrooms, going through his order sheet of jobs to do, that Marlene had started him on. He was swinging it open and closed, checking how well it worked, when the door to the unit opened. He leaned back and poked his head out of the door to see who it was. In his heart...

"You be one of them outlanders." I had pulled into the petrol station out of necessity; I didn't know how far it was until the next available fuel.

My GPS was no use out here, it gave me GPS co-ordinates but they meant nothing without a map and there was no...
The rain was slowing down to a sprinkle as the high school dance was winding down. It was a back to school dance at one of the McCraken county schools. We would have still have to break the equipment down and load it into the truck before the 60-70 mile trip back home. There were three of us doing this dance. Monique and I were doing the DJ'ing and Shelia,...
A while ago, one of my female readers dared me to do a story involving an everyday inanimate object - other than 'the wall' depicted in 'The Hole' series. I was so intrigued by her proposal that I accepted. It was far from easy and required me to access the most perverted areas of my brain. Take this as a warning: if you're not into this sort of thing, pleas...

June 5, 2067 I woke to the sound of our cabin door's soft, pneumatic closing. I opened my eyes just in time to see my wife come into our spacious living quarters. We had five rooms which was nearly unheard of. Besides the large double-sized bedroom, we had a living room, an observation room and another room, that currently was being used only for sto...
They climbed off the bus and retrieved their packs from the luggage compartment. Dingle wasn't a very big town, if you could even call it a town. It was more of a small village on the far southwest coast. A throwback to the picturesque simplicity of small-town Ireland, but it had a bus depot at the bottom of the Strand and the Mall, and the two emerged into...
Alex worked in a large office building, which received and distributed large paper documents from other businesses. He had only been there for one year and had moved up considerably, much faster than others that had been there for years. Mostly because he worked hard, he was always taught, if you're going to do something then do it right the first time; he c...
