CHAPTER 1: ARRIVAL The ringing of the telephone woke her. Claire turned to check the clock. Just after 3 a.m. Damn. Now she wished she hadn't stayed up later than usual. She rolled over and answered the phone with a sleepy "Hello?" "Dr. Thompson, it's Major Jeffers. I apologize for the late hour, but we've got an incoming for you." Of course they did. Ther...
After contributing so many pieces on the ways of the flesh to this site, I thought I might contribute at least one piece of the ways of the soul to provide some balance. (This subject is what I focus on my other life.) Do you survive the death of the physical body? That depends on what you are. You may not be what you think you are. You, like Scrooge, may n...

Chapter 11: Trick and Treat I'd never been more excited about a male before, and I certainly didn't know why. It wasn't the same type of feeling that led me to the guy I married. Looking back, those feelings were juvenile in comparison, more my mom's than my own. Those feelings no longer fit with modern society and my life became one of trying to fit round...

Back in those days, the companies felt it was best to have workers that lived near the mills. They built what was called mill villages, dozens and hundreds of basic houses near their plants. Then they sold them to the workers, t...
It has been said that on the little known Isle of Suburbia lives, the strange mythological creature called the Aneraulax. This isle has been lost to the modern era and it is not known whether it ever existed or merely sank from the weight of the hyperbole of its legends. Of course, one of the biggest legends is the Aneraulax, named by the Greeks and roughly...

This part of the city is where most magic users flocked to, so that is why it got its name. The street looked normal for the most part, pavement with a few trees in openings to soil and old-fashioned, traditional street lamps to light the s...

As I lay here in my hospital bed, told that I have a terminal disease which will soon consume my body, I realize that time has finally caught up to me. How ironic that I, who chased time and lust for thousands of years, would now finally become the pawn of that ultimate thief, like any other mortal. But I get ahead of myself, and I need now to document wha...
