I had this strange experience the other day. Even now I find it hard to believe it actually happened. It was like this... I was out for a drive. I'm new to the district and I was just motoring around, familiarising myself with the area. So here I am, driving along a mountain road and taking it easy, enjoying the view. I saw some deer along the side of the...
Nature's Beasts Chapter 01: Finding a New World "Yo, J, you ready for this?" "Yeah, man! I can't wait to bag a ten-point!" That would be me. Jason Arimea, athletics enthusiast. Well, I love all athletics, but bow hunting and archery are my favorites. I can shoot any kind of bow, be it recurve, composite, or cross-bow. I collect just about any bow and arr...
Clouds obscured the stars and moon when Glade and Demure emerged from their shelter carrying as many of their belongings as they could in deer-hide sacks, but more than the dark what mostly helped secure the lovers' escape as they crept away from the Raft People's village towards the Great Sea was that the rest of the village was far more preoccupied with ot...
Bia is actually the first to wake, I'm a tad behind her. I wake because she moves and I grabbed up a Colt. She's grinning and holding her hands up then sticks her tongue out. Well can't stand by and not return it so stick my tongue out. Then I get up and work on getting dressed, though Bia has a different idea. She comes right over and fastens to one breast....
Dinner was behind us, the dishes washed and dried and put away. When my wife announced that she was going to take a long soak in the tub, I figured it was the perfect time to continue with William Gibson's Pattern Recognition, especially since I was eager to learn what would happen to Cayce in Tokyo. I poured what remained of the wine into a glass, picked...
Early the next morning Roger got busy gardening. He once again took the tiller out and spent the day tilling the old garden spot to make it ready for planting. The next day he cut some of the dry grass beside the first garden patch with his trusty weed eater and began tilling it. When the women questioned him he told them that if he was successful they would...
I just stood there gasping like a fish out of water, with Grandpa still laughing his ass off. Spotted Owl was just looking back and forth between us, puzzled as to what was going on and starting to look a little annoyed. Grandpa noticed this and struggling to get his laughter under control, hurried to reassure him that he was not laughing at him and that I w...
Stacie was a very serious young woman, and she couldn’t believe that her 30th birthday had snuck up on her. Her serious side dominates—valedictorian of her high school class, graduating in three years from Brown magna cum laude, and earning her doctorate at age 26 in computer engineering from MIT. Although she had a knock out body, men had given up on Stac...
This story goes back a while, seventeen years to be exact, to when I was a mere 'girl' of 24. I had just broken up with a long term boyfriend and was feeling very hurt and sorry for myself. As, at the time, I had no real commitments I gave up my employment and decided to live by the sea on the south coast of England. My intention was to survive on my savings...
"Ouch!" Little Bell licked the torn skin on her knuckle and frowned when she tasted the blood. The tin soldier's ambush had been a success. She glared at her baby brother. "You play fair," she told him in a stern voice, "or by yourself." The boy only giggled at her, undoubtedly relishing his victory. Bell's hands balled into fists. If her father hadn't ma...
