You know, the whole gunners and mines thing? That was bullshit. Fair weather bullshit. Kiwa liked mines in theory. Low ceilings. Poor visibility on both ends. General monster hostility on the whole spectrum of "I feast on human souls." to "Ah, a human!" was low. Monsters in the mines liked to mind their own business, pun intended. They would only attack...
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...
Hidden Hermazon Island Somewhere in the North Atlantic 2018 A.D. The sun shone warmly through the softly shimmering dome of the cloaking field onto the paradisal shores of Hidden Hermazon Island. The island's pristine jungles were teeming with exotic and beautiful animals the likes of which could not be seen anywhere else on earth. Dominating the forest s...
As they walked silently towards the hotel she mentally picked through her afternoon with Amadou. They had just stepped out to buy a sandwich and get some ice-cream in the Marseille heat. She was quite sure Amadou had not intended to spend the rest of the afternoon with her after lunch. As they had meandered back towards the hotel, ice cream in hand they had...
I was coming up on my second year working for the company that led me to move out East, and before I knew it, we were getting ready for what would be my second holidays/X-mas party with them. Office parties usually suck—at least the few I had been to. They're always just you, your co-workers, and their significant others sitting around, drinking cheap booze,...
Having walked eight miles Ethan eventually walked onto his family estate, standing at the door he made sure he was calm before turning the knob and walking inside. The place was quiet, but that was not unusual considering the size of the house in comparison to relative smallness of the family. The butler walked out not at all surprised at seeing his employer...

Bateau Parish LA was the epitome of Small Town USA. While people puttered in and out of the five-n-dime, they carried their heads high with a knowledge that their little haven had remained just as it had been meant to be. The pace was slow; the sun was warm; and the status quo was never tinkered with. Cobblestone walks and handcrafted benches were the norm i...
[Other women mentioned in this story are Charlotte (Lioness Limousine), Michelle (First Day of Class) and Judy (The Ravishment of Young Judy): those stories take place in 1975-76.] ***** Sometimes a girlfriend just walks into one's life when one is not making an active effort to find one. In fact, during my college years, all the girls I met seemed to appe...
“Mom, is that Kate Beckinsale?” I laughed as I realized that it really was her at the lead of this group of visitors in a very crowded old family home. “Yes, it is. Kate, would you like to say something to my son, Phil?” Mom assured me and asked Kate, who blushed as much as her complexion allowed and cleared her throat. “Well, love, it’s really quite simpl...
