This story is a bit wordy and fairly long, so if you are looking for immediate gratification, you might want to look elsewhere. The following story is a work of fiction. Any resemblance between these character and events and any real person or events is strictly coincidental . . . and pretty darn impressive seeing as it is a science fiction story. Do not re...
Norm I took a walk around the house and the barn that morning, surveying the tools that we would be using that night to make our carefully-laid plans a reality. We had a whole fleet of vehicles now. Besides the cargo truck and Tilly's truck in the barn, three motorcycles also nestled inside, plus the Suburban and six used vehicles. Those would most likely a...
This story was written by my late half brother Seasparks before he passed away. He never got the chance to submit the story before he died, although we did talk about it many times. So I am submitting his final story as a tribute to his memory. This is only the first chapter of many that he had written for this story. The rest of the story will be submitt...
*** Front Desk *** It was so noisy I could hardly think. The lofty hotel lobby had become an echo chamber for the excited chattering of the teenage girls scattered throughout the foyer. I was surprised to see their numbers when we arrived, and I had to abandon my boss in the midst of them in order to check in. Leaning over the front desk, I shouted at the r...
An action story with intrigue and romance. * I groaned and rolled over as my hand groped blindly for the cell phone that was playing the "Marine's Hymn." You know the song, the one that starts out, "From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli." My hand finally closed around the object that had woke me up from my sleep. Opening one eye I looked at...
Ok, folks, as promised, here's the next part. I know, each part is taking a bit longer, but it's getting tougher to write, too.... I promise, though, there are still a fair few installments to go, and I'm starting to see how this will eventually end up. I hope you enjoy it, and look forward to any comments you may leave, good or bad. Oh, by the way.... as...
//Author's Note: Huge thanks to my good friends KatieTay and SkullTitti for their help in translations and tone! This story could not have been possible without their patience and assistance! All characters are 18 or older.// "Here we go," Wren whispered, as the timer counted down and the Daedalus dropped out of t-space. The disorientation passed quickly,...
(Author's Intro.... This story (Episode 2) is a 'prequel' to the 'A Day In Gotham' series that I wrote a year or so ago. In particular, it precedes 'Batgirl's Dilemma' which is the first story that I wrote and technically is Episode 3 in the series. I always had it in mind to come back to Batgirl at some stage (she's such a fun character!) and fill in some...
I stepped outside and did what I thought I wouldn't do again; I called Finn. "Marly," he purred into the phone with the warmth of a hungry tiger to a mouse. "Finn. It's business. Nothing personal." "Our mutual business is always personal. But as long as you have an open case I'm involved with, you're not going to let it get personal. That's the only reas...
Chapter 20 Paying the Devil His Due with Interest by T. J. Skywind © To the curious, when I write I listen to several artists. Among them Jean Michel Jarre, Medwyn Goodall, Johnny Clegg, David & Diane Arkenstone, Lindsey Stirling, and a recent addition are Two Steps From Hell. Sometimes I rock out on classics from the 1920s to current hits, but I p...
