"911, What is Your Emergency?" "As you all know, one of our own has a big event coming up this week. Reece Anderson is completing his probationary period and will become a full-fledged member of our team this Friday." Everyone in the house stood and clapped. Some whistled and there were calls for, "Speech, speech" followed by, "Yeah, but make it a short on...
A/N Hello Lit. readers! First, I'd like to thank everyone who sent their feedback, wrote comments, and voted on my stories.

Jason stared at Granny, dumbstruck. At the culmination of their battle, Pearl had hurled her at the ground with the force of a falling meteor. She had been broken and unconscious after her defeat at Pearl's hands. Yet there Granny sat, awake, whole, and very, very aware. And although she projected calm, Jason knew by now to be wary of her kind. "Right,"...

To the reader: I wrote this story two years ago and put it in my file of stories I didn't think were good enough to submit. Then I saw a story on the morning news and knew I had to resurrect it. The story on TV was eerily close to this one, even to the point where everything happened in the same city. (I changed the location when I re-edited it.) All that b...
I have to apologize for the time it takes to produce each chapter. This one gave me a headache for a long time. Madison (ThanatopicFolds) my cool editor helped speed things up, for which I'm grateful. I've also had the kind help of Stylus. You guys rock. $$$$$$$$$$$$ The human heart is a puzzle made from pieces of our lives. There is a piece for that fir...
CHAPTER ONE Today was much like any other day might be except for one little, major, difference. Marc walked in the door, stopped, and looked at Candy. She turned to face him, "I didn't hear the truck. You're home a little earlier than I expected. Do you need help unloading or something?" She was wondering why he stopped right inside the door. "No, I ha...
This is a work of fiction. All characters are 18 or over. *** An Uber sat idling at the curb outside the hotel. Throwing Vicky's gear on board, they climbed into the back of the black Mercedes, like soldiers mounting a transport in the wake of a long, bloody battle, wounded but euphoric, going home. "First stop the bottle-oh." Beck cried- the old man's Ve...
This story is a bit wordy and fairly long, so if you are looking for immediate gratification, you might want to look elsewhere. The following story is a work of fiction. Any resemblance between these characters and events and any real person or events is strictly coincidental . . . and pretty darn impressive seeing as it is a science fiction story. Do not r...
It was dark in the Xen-Nuchek mines, with weak lamps lighting the passage that led into the slumbering volcano. The tunnel led down at a steep incline; not quite enough to make the descent treacherous, but certainly at a sharp enough angle to raise the heart rate. John took the lead, with Alyssa at his side, leaving Dana and Rachel to cover the rear as they...
