"Ruby? James?" Elle Franklin searched the Hilton for them. Room to room. Down corridors. The Lab. The basement bathing area. Beyond those she had not explored. They had been so busy the last few weeks there had been no time to discover new things. Something they really should have done long ago. In a starship the size of three football fields there was most...
I awaken with the sky, a few birds chirping outside. As I sit up I hear a wagon moving about, not from my window I am facing the outside of town. I get my clothes on glad to be done with the round eye get up then leave my room a revolver in hand to check on the prisoner. I find Ishmael perched atop a chair snoring a little with the Winchester in his hands....
I wonder where she is now. A true story. (Copyright 2001. All rights reserved). For Pam. * * * * * I met her at an Army base just outside Winchester in Hants. I'd gone there to visit a friend from my Army training days called Bob and we had been drinking in the NAFFI on the Saturday night when in she came with some friends. I was twenty-two and she had j...
Author's Introduction: For anyone looking for quick gratification from a cut-to-the-sex story, this is probably the wrong one- I'm hoping to create an engrossing, long term storytelling experience. I will update it as often as possible but often real life gets in the way (EDIT: Currently updates every friday, stay tuned!)(ANOTHER EDIT: Have been delayed by...
This is my first attempt at a story that plays with chronology. It mirrors the structure of the movie "Memento" (which you should rent, stream, or steal, if you've never seen it). There is a sequence of events in the present which is interrupted by a series of flashbacks. But the flashbacks themselves happen in reverse order. That is, each flashback is earli...
This is a combined story effort between DG Hear and Jake Rivers. Carl Smith has two great songs that are complete opposites in their story lines: "Hey, Joe" and "Back Up, Buddy" "Hey, Joe!" Is the story of a guy that wants his buddy's girl. "Back Up, Buddy" is the story of a man telling his buddy to leave his girl alone. We thought it would be interesting f...
{I hear the footsteps coming now, I am writing this in longhand, going as quickly as I can. It's like a echo, the sounds of shoes on cement in the bleak and barren hallway outside. Nothing in time, the click is off step and then together for a moment, random. Odd that I notice that so completely at a time like this. I wrote down the rest of the story earli...
Another tale of the turbulent times during and following the Civil War. Constructive comments, emails, and critiques are requested and very much appreciated. Thank you for taking time to read and comment on my story. ******************** "He was a hell of a man in his day," Marshal John Tillman motioned toward Elwood T. Sloan who was slowly walking down...
For the perhaps as many as two of you paying attention, before this one I mention the District Attorney. The problem is Chicago doesn't have one, they have a county attorney. Cook County Attorney to be specific, which is a little surprising and then I never looked it up before. Did finally since I wanted to have an idea on what the offices look like. Which...

I welcome and appreciate all comments, critiques and/or emails; but especially constructive ones. ******************** Chapter Five The cook for the house was a woman of about 50, Amanda Kraft, who had once ran a boarding house in Prescott. The owner sold the place and Mrs. Kraft was out of...
