I reached home and laid down on my bed. It was a long day. My teammates completely stopped working on the project we were supposed to complete before the end of the semester. I'm left doing the work of 6 people. When I talked to the three girls in the group today, they said they would beg the teacher for the grades instead and that they don't care. I decided...

A Story by XXscribbler Preliminary note to my readers: this is an old story, written very early in my career, and stowed away for years. I'm not really happy with it - the tale seems (now) a bit heavy in the last half. But it is FUN in its own way. Here it is for what it's worth. Cheers! Airports themselves were okay, it was the cell phones that he hated....
"Boom" chapter archive (from part 21) Part 21 Nat was walking with an associate of his brother Nick's named Rudy, a gang member but like almost all of them a nice guy one-on-one- that is, if you were on his good side and he didn't want to kill you.

Day 3 Monday> Sleep came quick enough. I just cried myself there. However, it was not the most restful sleep I have ever had. I felt like I tossed and turned all night. How did I get into this mess? How was I going to get out? Would the next fifty-three days leave me with any sanity at all? I woke to the sound of my mom yelling that she was leaving for wor...
