For starters, my thanks to PokingFun for keeping her head above the rip tide long enough to edit this work. To Smutol, who fought with me - A LOT - but provided invaluable input into character interactions and was often the voice for 'the little guy'. To Talonwolf because apparently the ATF can't do their jobs to my satisfaction. To the Voice Howling In t...
Chapter 1 My name is Edward Joseph Mason, and I am the fourth male in my family to be christened with this distinguished name, as my father, grandfather and great grandfather were also named Edward Joseph; but ever since I was a small boy, everyone in my family and circle of friends has referred to me by the moniker, Joey. My family has lived in Northern...
I hope that this last installment of this series is to everyone's liking. If not, I'm sorry. However, to the kind and loyal folks who continue to read my work and leave beautiful comments, as well as constructive criticism, I say this; I wish you peace and God's blessings. ~~~~~~ Chapter One The doctor had cleared Jennifer to come home with us that night...
I was still one of the "Young Turks," despite the fact that at the time I was in my seventh year with the firm. Most of my colleagues were in their late 40s or 50s, with a fair number of the partners well into their 60s or even 70s and fast approaching, at, or well past, retirement age -- maybe that's why Cahill, Swann & Moore had hired so many new attor...
"Ah!" Dr. Hagstrom said, looking straight at Beechcroft. "The vulture finally comes flying out of the darkness to descend upon her helpless victim!" The idea of any sound coming from the taciturn Dr. Hagstrom, who had been silent for so long, startled us all. Beechcroft made no reply. She merely cocked her head further to one side as she focused one of her...
Suddenly a high-pitched squeal reached our ears. "Let me through you damn fools!" It was Janet Walsh, dressed in a very short black skirt that showed almost too much of her astoundingly beautiful long legs. She was carrying a dish of ice cream in one of her hands as she forced her way through the growing number of spectators. She was so flustered by the t...
Authors note This is technically a crossover chapter. Two characters from another show appear in this chapter and while some may ask what they're doing in the 70s I would like to remind everyone that 70s show had many celebrity guests stars so I think you can forgive me for this... can't you? *** "Are you sure about this mistress?" "I'm sure, don't worry...
I'd never seen her in the lunchroom before, or for that matter, anywhere else on campus. I'm sure I would remember if I had. After all, even in Texas, it's not everyday one sees a college girl wearing black jeans, a starched white western shirt, and snake-skin western boots. The only thing missing from the look was a wide brimmed cowboy hat. She was a few p...
"Sarah?" shouted the voice, "Sarah, you in there?" It was Bruce! She ran to the door to see his smiling face pressed against the glass. She opened the door and saw that he had unbuttoned the jacket to show his broad torso covered in a blue denim shirt and the crash helmet and both panniers by his feet. "Was it ever hard to find you!" he laughed. "You sca...
Author's note. After a long break and in response to many recent messages, Penny is back! The whole story is being turned into full length novels so the style is slightly different but it's really Penny and it's really me writing. I hope you still enjoy it. Chapter 22 "Can you see?" the young radiologist asked, running the square plastic sensor over my lo...
