In my work at the university science lab, my team made a breakthrough regarding cancer regression. We found that in human cells, there's a small organic structure that functions like a little clock. It can tell us the age of the cell and how hard it's working. Experimentation has shown us that chemicals can speed up the little clock, resulting in the cell wo...
As he struggled to hold on to the rope that he was dangling from, Robert found himself surrendering to the helplessness of his situation. Once again his enemies in the neighborhood had caught up to him and dragged him to the woods to be hung from a tree by his tighty whities. His feet were barely touching the ground and his pants had been taken. The thugs an...
"Ever wondered who you were before?" "Were before?" Claire was puzzled. She looked up at her friend, Louise, who was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. "Your past lives," Louise explained. "Caroline Rattenbury is offering a past life regression workshop in Netherbury Farm buildings next Tuesday night. Do you want to go?" "Are you going?" "I'd like t...
Prologue Red lights in the darkness. A screeching shriek. The angry growl of metal giving. Glass shattering. My sight blinded. My heart racing. My fear choking me. No escape. Pain. This is all I knew in my final moments. Just like that it was over... Chapter One 3:14 am. The dream was the same every time. The same fear, the same agonizing scre...
Chapter Fourteen I.TR8.76.93 -- Year 1576 It wasn't much more than a matter of curiosity at first when the wardrobe-sized artefact first appeared on Earth's surface. Its materialisation in the Arizona Desert was too sudden and unexpected for its arrival to be intercepted. Although no one knew this at the time, it had just travelled across Interstellar space...
Back on the island of Circe, Orion was exhausted and nearing the breaking point of his physical endurance. His biceps throbbed in agony and his fingers were bloody and numb from overuse as he shot arrow after arrow at the Babylonian invaders rushing up the beach. Thinking if he did not rest soon he would drop, he sighed in relief and smiled as he watched the...
Notes: All characters are over the age of 18. There is no sex in this chapter (sorry.) I hope you'll enjoy it for what it is. Rest assured, Mark and Jenni haven't cooled off! This is written with a dark humor, but I do love these characters, so it's not my intention to mock them or any real person with mental challenges in any way. As always, thanks fo...
Chapter Sixteen: Split Infinity He held her in his arms, his shoulders aching a bit with the weight of his wings. He seldom felt them. He seldom felt enough of who he had been when he wore them, when he was merely a rebel angel angry with his dad. He just didn't step into that body often any longer. He had forgotten the weight of that body, both physical...
Men and women hunch together, twin planets moving in tortuous synchronicity with their moons. Men are sweaty, and imbued; women are giggly, and flirty, because booze takes them differently. If we were to use the planes focus, the sexes would be in different places, but visible, at all times, to their opposites. A man lurks, the word deliberate, in the corne...
After Ron's third week at the Farm, he's lost weight and his health is excellent. She changes him on the floor while he keeps sleeping. He is not interested in sex any more, does not wake her up to at night except to nurse, which he does less frequently and in smaller amounts. She must be with him constantly. In the business office, the legal team is analyz...
