Blindsided Ch. 03

Loving Wives

I drove with great determination and absolutely no idea of where I was going. I just wanted to be someplace else and I was getting there quickly. I drove down the interstate highways all day. I pulled into a well-lighted rest area and there, ignoring the sign that said "No Overnight Parking", I slept. Maybe I should have found a hotel room, but I didn't wan...

Annette yawned loudly as she stretched on her bed. She looked at the bedside clock and saw that it was three in the afternoon. She raised her eyebrows in surprise as she kicked off her duvet.

Sci-Fi & Fantasy

The Scholar 1: Entrance The art school was before me. I took a step, then faltered. It was so...official looking. Could I do this? Go back to school after all these years & so many failures? Maybe it would cost too much. Maybe it had one of those ridiculous peer-reviewed grading systems. Maybe... No. Stop & breathe. When I'd entered the photo contest & won...

A Genetically Engineered Race

Sci-Fi & Fantasy

The concept of genetic engineering is one that continues to unnecessarily frighten people. Personally, I don't know what the fuss is about. What kind of person in his or her right mind wouldn't actively strive for self-improvement? Only a total loser wouldn't. All of us try to do it in some way. We strive to achieve things. Make more money. Buy new cars. Mov...

A ray of light heralds a new day as the cold damp air sweeps through the trees and over the ruins of the mountain temple. Deep inside the inner sanctum, a solemn figure awakes having slept the night cross-legged on his cushion. He opens his eyes, inhales deeply and lifts himself to his feet. "Now I know what it is that I want," Hayate thinks to himself. He...
