*Author's Note: When I first wrote this story, I didn't like it so I rewrote it, scrapped it, restarted it, edited it, unedited it, and finally pushed to get it done once and for all. I originally intended it to be three parts but it came together as one long complete story. It has a very long build up so if you're looking for a shorter, "stroke" story, you...
Chapter 1 Seltire Mierka and I had gone to Seltire for a rest - she from the research laboratory where she spent most of her time analysing vegetation from various parts of the galaxy, myself from the agency that spurred on the consumer boom that helped to pay for the exploration. Other than an occasional two or three days, neither of us had been able to g...
This was fun! Thanks to PuckIt for spearheading this little dip of the toes into an old love of mine, SciFi.

I'...

This is a work of fiction. The characters and events in this story are not real, although some of the characters have been loosely patterned after people I know. I've chosen to list this story in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy category since that's where it seems to fit best to me. The reasons for this will become more apparent in later chapters. There will be a substa...
FINALLY - THE TREASURE The road to Deutschkatharinenberg literally skirts the border of Germany and the Czech Republic. We finally arrived at a likely spot to camp about three quarters of a mile past the mine itself. It was densely wooded. So, we pulled the Defender off the road and in among the primeval trees. We had camping gear that would keep us reaso...
This is my entry for the 2020 Halloween contest. It's set on Halloween 2020, so if you're reading it before then, you'll just have to deal with the oddity of the past tense verbs.
