Ingrid sat on the table at the doctor's office, swinging her feet in anticipation. She hadn't been to the doctor in years - she lived in rural Nebraska for her whole life. A trip to the doctor was a bit of a journey and, since getting her last vaccine at the end of middle school, there was no reason to go. Ingrid left Nebraska to come to attend the Universi...
I was ready to take the shot. I knew I didn't want to. I had to. My heart rate was a little high, not normal. Not normal at all. Normal is dead calm, that's part of why I get the big bucks. I took a deep breath, trying to settle down, the shot was long even for me, a good 250 yards. I sighted again, waiting for the instant between heartbeats to squeeze....
Blue! Beautiful blue as far as the eye could see. Blue oceans teaming with life. Blue skies marred only by a handful of white fluff. Although in a few hours, the tropical afternoon heat might well give way to something more ominous. The white clouds replaced by storm clouds, but that was life. Storms always came when you were a mutant. Raven rested her hand...
An author's rant. Hi folks. I know some of you detest author's comments and perhaps think the folly self-indulgent. But I've had many posts that suggest some actually enjoy delving inside my crazed head as I attempt to shed some light on what my story was supposed to achieve. So, for those of you who would like the insight, read on. The rest of you can s...
I always enjoyed my time with Rose. We often had long discussions about why people, other than us of course, did all the strange things they did. We laughed a lot, it seems that one or the other of us would crack a joke every few minutes. If I had to list the one thing that kept me coming back to Rose, it would have to be the hugs. She was a hugger and that...

It was a day like any normal day. I walked home from school following my normal path, held my head high as school is finally over. Time to live my life and not have to worry about anything. As I walked I stumbled across a tablet lying on the street. I picked it up and investigated it further. It seemed like any normal tablet, same size and screen shape. I tu...
Janice pulled into the parking lot where she worked, parked in her normal spot, got of the car carrying her purse and briefcase, locked the car and headed off to another boring day at work. There was no excitement in her life anymore, nor has there been for the last several months. She opened the main door and walked down the hallway to her office. "Good M...
It was a busy day in Washington, DC. And not just for the everyday person who works a normal full/part time contract trying to provide for themselves and their families. Not just for the rich folk and their companies. The employees of Secretech were also hard at work, furiously typing away on computers and testing their signature tech. The leader of the orga...
What am I going to do with myself? That's what I wondered as I sat inside the food court of the Saint Laurent Mall in the City of Ottawa, Ontario. Of all the sexy ladies of all hues walking by, why is it that only SHE arouses me? I don't frigging know. All I know is that what I'm feeling isn't normal. And I consider myself a pretty normal guy. My name is Art...
