Thanks for your comments! I kept going, trying to incorporate some of your suggestions. I'm still open for much more. Let me know what you think, the bad and the good. I have an idea of where I am taking them though I am always up to hear what you think. Thanks for the support! Ch. 2 He felt her heart slow and stop. The blood that had been flowing into him...
She brushed out her clothes, straightened her hair and tried to put on a pleasant face. "Want me to come?" I asked. She looked around and caught sight of the other two, tugging on some toy by the closet. Then looked at Andrew in my arms, cooing loudly. "I don't know what you can do." She stifled a cry. She stood tall, and walked towards the door and outsi...
In the future, robotics and advanced A.I. become a ubiquitous part of society, aiding mankind in all facets of everyday life. However, they still retained the cold impersonal look of a machine until a new development rocketed over the uncanny valley. Grown rather than built, this new kind of being was made possible by hacking the human genome and combining b...
************************* This began as a little side note in a story me and an online partner were working on that she demanded I expand upon. She seemed thrilled with it, so now I'm hoping you all might enjoy it a bit. Over all, it's a world of Super Heroes. Myself and my partner were to play villains. Mine (which is discussed in the beginning of this st...
I had more or less forgotten my apartment for the following weeks. I brought a supply of clothing - underwear, fresh shirts for work, etc., to Ms Jenna's. I was given use of a half bath next to the washer and dryer. I hung my suits on the back of the door, and the rest I stowed in the small cabinet below the sink. Ms Jenna came there once each day to inspect...
A few weeks after we returned from the Rally in Cocoa, Tony's cellphone rang one Friday evening. "Hello, this is Tony." "Hey man, how's it hanging?" Tony immediately recognized Cole's voice. "Same old, same old, pal. What's up with you?" "Just wondering if you're going on the club ride tomorrow and if your pillion is open," Cole replied. "I am and it is....
I was swinging a double bitted axe, trying to knock the wedge I had just cut with my chainsaw out of a tree I was falling. The trees had grown up tall enough that they were blocking off sunlight in the afternoons to my garden spot. Since they were Alder, several of them had taken a nasty lean. I knew that Alder that has the sap up in the spring likes to spl...
S.M.A.R.T. SUIT Agent 409 plunged towards the ground at high speed. The thirty thousand foot free fall was nothing new to the experienced agent as she checked her altimeter. HALO jumps where standard method of entry for these kinds of missions. The cold and thin air was of little notice due to the new SMART suits agents were now being equipped with. These...
"Fuck." You're running late for your doctor's appointment, the one you've been dreading. Old Doc Spalding says it's time for you to have another exam and all you can think about is how badly that went last time. The old guy actually had to have his finger in a splint for weeks, which was more embarrassing than the actual exam - since everyone in town knew h...
PROLOGUE For two years running Derek Chambers had been the Headmaster at the prestigious Ravenwoode Academy, an elite private school in New England. He loved his job, and not just because of the fact that all of the students and about ninety percent of the staff were female, though that was certainly a plus. He enjoyed the power and control of his position...
