Denise stared out at the dense foliage zipping by the dusty window of her 4X4 and wondered to herself for the umpteenth time what she was doing here. The response as always was almost immediate ... a shot at the General Manager's post for the Indian sub-continent. As she watched the harsh landscape pass her by, she thought back on her journey to this place...
The world as we know it came to an end on Nude Day morning. How it ended is not relevant. What is relevant is the fact that only those observing Nude Day survived the end. They did so by embracing the day for what it is meant to be. The ultimate in freedom, comfort and peace. Doing so earned them the honor of becoming the Mothers and Fathers in the rebirth o...
International Writers Curt B, Julie Van and Wunderboi have combined to bring our readers and followers to deepest, darkest Africa as a group of white wives and younger women enjoy their first visit to "The Dark Continent." ++++++++ The bus ground its way up the tortuous track that led to the top of the plateau, the same track that 3 months previously Profe...
As I mentioned in my previous story, I worked in several African countries from 1971 to 1981 as an engineer and advisor in energy exploration, primarily oil and gas. Although I had traveled in other African countries in the mid 60's and early 90's, most of my hands on experience came from work in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Saudi Arabia. Due to my exper...
What would you do if you could live forever? For me, it's a question I fear to ask myself. I'm not sure I would like the answer. My name is Kalibar Barok and I was born in what is today called Tunisia, in Africa. The land in which I was born was once called the Carthaginian Empire. I was born in the summer of 650 B.C. Long before the fall of heroic Carthage...
Most of the civilians had left the town before orcs came over the wall. This caused much frustration since the fifty orcs only had a couple of human females to take care of their pent-up hate against humans. When Caro entered the stone church she was faced by one of the orcs. They might be on the same side now but the paladin had made many not so friendly a...
The statue stood still, as statues have done since man first learned to carve his likeness into rock, eons ago. It watched the beautiful City of Ruston, Louisiana, from the rocky hill which was its domain. Had been its domain for centuries, really. From there it could see the City lights shining through the vanishing afternoon. The men and women walking, dri...
It will probably be remembered as the most significant period in British history. Great Inventors gave us amazing devices like Babbage's numerator, Engineers like Isambard Kingdom Brunel constructed viaducts and bridges on a scale that would have made the Pharaohs jealous and literary geniuses like Jayne Eyre and Jules Verne stole our hearts and took us to p...
A story does not sleep. You have heard a thousand, maybe more. Novels, rumors, legends and anecdotes, and you may think you have forgotten them, but they merely hide in the abandoned corridors of your mnemonic palace. A story lingers there, it's sensors spread across the perimeter of your awareness, listening, watching, sensing every nuance you experience. I...
Our project was meant to preserve the African jungle, The irony of tearing down a stand of old growth forest to set up the satellite data links we would need and the structures to house our operation was lost on none of us. We justified it by the fact that once our buildings and antennas were up we would be able to monitor wildlife over a broad area, spot po...
