Kickstarting the Economy Mark woke up early as usual, went to his desk, grabbed his coffee and went through his morning reports. Afterwards he decided to browse through some news sites, reading news article upon news article about Chinese submarines floating through the air and that they were being beached upon China's shoreline, because they had attacked...
Christmas Day in LA mid seventies. Trigger raised his hand to knock and hesitated. Why was he here? He felt responsible for the fact that she'd be alone. It was a guilt he wasn't used to. Vietnam had taught him to live every day as if it was his last - a mantra he held close - but he'd really crapped on his own doorstep by having an affair with his best fri...
Hey, everyone! I've been going through some things and still trying to handle life in quarantine. I'm also focusing on myself and wanted to share that I have a girlfriend. Your boy got himself a girl. If you guys knew the history we had in the past, you never in a million years would have believed that she would have reciprocated my feelings. But she did - a...
Author's Note: PLEASE COMMENT!! I live for them. I want to know what you all think. Both good and bad. My only request is if it is negative please make it constructive so I can improve!! ****** The soldier watched the woman curiously as she assessed her surroundings.

Chapter 15 Present day... "It looks like you were right," Fiodor said. The burly driver brought his team of draft horses to a halt, then signaled to the other wagon behind him. "How did you know? The sky was completely clear four hours ago, and I didn't see any signals from the towers." Sarette shrugged. The snowfall had been growing steadily heavier for...
I graduated from a directional state university in Illinois in 1991 with a double major in accounting and finance. I went through on-campus interviewing and was lucky (or smart) enough to get a job in beautiful, exotic... Milwaukee. Okay, maybe Milwaukee isn't on par with San Francisco or Seattle or Miami, but at the time the economy was in the tank and I wa...
Succession Noah and Tin, having fully recovered from the springburn sickness, set out early on a beautiful day. Summer was upon them, so the mornings had lost much of their chill, though everyone paid for it in sweat later in the day. Unlike before, when they roamed aimlessly through the woods to hunt monsters, they had a specific location in mind. Noah had...

Part 5 - New Friends in a New Home The Chevelle was headed back to the motel after a successful interview with Katherine McCullough, who had agreed to our becoming tenants in the downstairs of a duplex where Bruce and MaryLou occupied the upstairs. The top was down in the fresh mountain air and I was being verbally attacked, "How could you dump on the poor...
Chapter 24 - Confessions of the Forest ***** The Dalish were as friendly as I imagined they'd probably be. If you're wondering if I'm being sarcastic, I am. It was clear they distrusted humans, though I didn't feel any major hostility. Mostly, they were just suspicious, even when we announced that Alistair and Cerys were Wardens and we were looking to recr...
