I found this document amongst the effects of my grandfather Jan van Loon. As will be obvious, it was omitted (for reasons I need not explain) from his famous book about his twelve years as a guest but captive in the Imperial Palace. As with the others it is based on an interview which he made secretly and recorded in shorthand which he transcribed following...
Dear Readers, Finally! Something new! ...er Kinda... Ok, it's not entirely new. I will tell you, though, that all the chapters leading up to this one have been revamped. This chapter contains parts that were previously in Chapter 5. Also, each chapter holds anywhere from a little to a Lot of new content. I would encourage each and every one of you to re-...
Troi walked down the corridor of the star ship Enterprise. She smiled as she passed fellow crew members. She always was friendly and open emotionally. But as she continued down the corridor, she sensed strong emotion directed to her from the male crew members. She felt as if she was being watched, as if all their eyes noticed her every movement. She turne...
The Anglo Saxon Chronicles Part III I am an old man now, with an old man’s failings. It is nine years since my liege and, dare I venture, my friend Ælfred, King of Wessex and Rex Anglorum, passed to greater glory. I fear I shall not be long behind him for winter chills my bones and I sleep more and more by the brazier in the Scriptorium. My hands have grow...

"And where do you come from exactly?" The Holy Crusader might have been defeated but he retained his pride and dignity, despite the humiliation of his c...
Chapter 7. (Conclusion) -- Danny finds fulfillment. Flight SH 123 to Corfu had landed and, as soon as the 'Please Fasten Your Seat Belt' sign had stopped flashing, 200 Sunshine Holidays passengers began vacating their seats, and retrieving their hand-luggage from the overhead storage cabinets. At their having finally touched down at their holiday destina...
After the wedding things returned to their previous routine, mostly. Carl went to his classes at the college. Mina went to translate for Lauren. After his classes Carl would visit Lauren at her compound, or alternatively Lauren would come to Carl's. The day after the wedding Carl went to visit Lauren for lunch at her place. They didn't talk about the weddi...
Brianne stands glowering in front of the priest, her curvy body decently covered by the layers and layers of fabric that goes into a noblewoman's wedding gown, her long fall of brown hair covered by the headpiece and veil. Sneaking a look at her soon to be husband, as the priest drones on and on about the sanctity of marriage, she again thinks about running...

This is the ninth in this series and continues the adventures of The Three J's and Sara at Mountain Lodge Resort.

Thanks a lot to techsan who edited the story pretty quickly and turned it into a better one. Chapter Three Chris asked the receptionist where Dr.Geoffrey was. She called him and then told Chris that he was in the ER. He walked to the ER, found the doctor and remembered that he still had the keys to his car. "I figured you wouldn't go away without these...
