She's chosen to sit opposite me, I suspect, to keep a better eye on me. This journey will be a long one, and I know I might eventually have to break my silence and make what conversation I can muster with this...'Infinity'. We're at least two hours into our travel across the great canyon – they initiated an impressive rail system a year or so ago, supposed...
He stepped in close behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. With her right hand, she reached up and ran her hand through his hair and closed her eyes, sighing contently as he began to plant light kisses on her throat. It's wrong, she thought, what am I doing? Part of her wanted to make him stop, to say that she was his wife's best friend. That th...
About a year ago, I met this guy Tyrell. Due to the wonderful powers of the internet and myspace, he sent me a couple messages, and since we worked in similar businesses, I figured there was no harm in continuing to talk to him. We'd exchange the occasional message every few weeks, and keep saying that we should meet up and swap business cards since he's a m...
Snow is holy. It falls on the streets and the cars. It softens and obscures the hard edges of the buildings and falls on the shoppers hurrying about their business. It muffles the sounds of the traffic and slowly builds up in white mounds on the windowsills and fire escapes, covering everything with pure, soft white. Each flake is a jewel, perfect in its o...
Note: This story was originally written under the name of Necromancer, but I’ve decided to use the new name Doctor Insanus. It has more of a corny, comic book-type of feel that I’m trying to put in my writing. Note: This story represents my first attempt at the multi-part cosmic epics that Marvel has done so well throughout the years. Forgive the wordiness...
"What sort of arrangement do you and your wife have, Jim?" said Janine, threading her arm through mine as if we were old family friends in need of extra warmth. In fact, we were acquaintances of less than two hours' standing, now trudging through the bitter cold of a New Year's Eve. The others had just parted from us, carrying on in their walk up to the Crag...
Stepping into her apartment with a huff Karen Starr leaned back against her apartment door, hanging up her coat and running her fingers through her short blonde hair. “Damn, what a slow day… Maybe I should call in a few days sick leave just to get some R and R.” Heading over to her little nook kitchen she set up a mug and water and filled it with hot chocola...
The day was just a youngster, but the heat already made the air vibrate above the land. After his previous ride, Joshua was clearly dropped at the wrong place. At Coopers Crossing there was hardly traffic and no shadow at all. The road sign Melbourne 107 miles did not raise Joshua's spirits either. Since early this morning he had only advanced 40 miles. Thre...
Part One - The Stone Circles. For five years Nymue lived in the Isle of Glas and was taught by the sisterhood there. They taught her mysteries of the Goddess and her long lines of song down through the ages, the lines and curves of her country, the sacred places, her holy wells. Nymue, who was blooded in water risen wrong and foul, grasped immediately the c...
"Follow me." The female Alien doctor began to walk away, her long, golden ponytail fluttering behind her. Freya retracted her new "transportation", and put it in her belt again before hurrying, almost running, to keep up with the woman's long legs. "Where are we going?" Freya asked curiously, a mixture of confusion and worry in her eyes. "We're finding yo...
