Don Prescott sat at his desk at home staring pensively out of the window. It was very early on a Thursday morning, it was still dark out, and he was physically and emotionally drained after his return flight home. He again attempted to force his mind back to the events of the previous evening. He again attempted to make some sense of what he had witnessed....

Arthur's two days in the hospital had been followed by three days in the camp's infirmary. When the medics decided the swelling in his leg had gone down enough they sent him back to the city.

Author's note: This ten-part story stands on its own but introduces characters from my previous story 'Transvixen'.

She coughed as silently as she could and covered herself more tightly with the shawl wrapping her body. She didn't know how she would make it another night on the cold damp streets. She thought maybe she shou...
The conclusion to the story. In chapter 2, Dale and Rose escape danger, but more problems are just around the corner. But there is good stuff, too. * I put the phone down and walked back to the bed.

It was nice to be driving toward home. Well, not really. It was nice to be on the ground. And it was nice to be back in my own car...but that was about it. Those things didn't change the fact that after traveling almost eleven hours, Ann was still over two thousand miles away, and I was still well over a month away from being with her again. And the closer T...
Building a Risky Business After the excitement of launching Western Investors, and the grand celebration in Denver, a dose of down to earth hard work was needed.
