Although the story and characters are 100 percent fiction, I did grow up in a very small town like the fictional Dusty Flats. I had the good fortune to enjoy that simple lifestyle. I tell it in the first person because I personally remember those days with fondness. 1978. Long before cell phones, the video game frenzy, 400 channels of TV available at the to...
Who is Raphael Garza? Part 6 Who was Jorge Montoya? As exhausted as we were, neither of us slept well, and we were both awake by 8:15 Sunday morning. As we drank our coffee, we didn't speak about our adventure of the previous night. After eating breakfast, I went into my office with the three items I took from Garza, his keys, his cell phone and his wallet...
Author's Note This is the first part in a new story series that follows the lives of two friends over the course of one turbulent year - 2010. The story is set in the fictional town of Westborough-on-sea, a seaside town on the south coast of England. Other towns and cities mentioned are real, although individual places within them (such as pubs, café's, ho...
Author's Notes: This is the sequel to "Shilana's Trial" and it incorporates characters from "Reunion" as well. I tried to make this story as accessible as possible, but you might get more enjoyment out of this if you go back and read those other two first. A huge "Thank you" to all the people who helped refine this tale. You know who you are. As always, t...
Part I: Debbie Alan Burnett listened to the same 'oldies' station he had for years now; the music was predictably comfortable and the commercials were kind of funny – sometimes anyway, and besides, almost everyone else in the department listened to the station. You could always count on a happy mix of sixties stuff, but usually they played more seventies mu...
Ty sat outside of the house and waited. His heart raced at the thought of what he was about to do. Murder wasn't new to him, but his victim had been an adult. He was only just realizing that he hadn't thought about the children. He was certain that Lawrence wouldn't have wanted them hurt, but what was he supposed to do with them? The idea of taking them back...
***There's always the point where a man has to, ... I mean uh, ... gets to meet the parents. Remember that this has gone on in a single freaking day. They both know that they're needy. They just seem to be on a roller-coaster made of it and it presents some interesting moments of introspection. Taela comes off sounding a little immature or at least very yo...
Author's note: Here's a little thing I've been working on for my friend Meandraco as a favor for all his help with covers and concept art, it's a story about his OC character 'Exampla'. It's full of in-jokes, but even if you're not familiar with his streams or the meta nature of the character, you'll probably like the sex scenes, and I like to share everythi...
"Is this really Stonehenge? It looks brand new. No falling rocks or missing sections like I remember from our family trip to England." Ruby Goddard hesitates in replying. The wonder of it all just blew her away, "This is back in the Medieval period Sophia. For all we know it could be a year old. Of course the grasslands around it look pretty darn green. No...
Chapter 2: Entropy and Sorrow's Kiss Alan Burnett listened to an oldies radio station, an AM station that had been around since a year longer than forever - and that had a play-list that seemed comfortably lost in the seventies. Steely Dan was still Reelin' In The Years, and the cop sat in the air conditioned Dodge Police Interceptor, his thumbs drumming aw...
