Foreword: This is a tale set in a fantasy sword and sorcery universe of my own creation. All characters are original. It's going to be an open ended series of adventures as a counterpoint to Solar Wind.

Part 2 - Aubrey I woke a little after dawn from one of the deepest, most dreamless slumbers I'd ever had. I felt like I'd slept a thousand years. I felt completely refreshed— but disoriented. Then I remembered last night with pure disbelief. What did I do? Thoughts of yesterday began flooding back into my head. The obscene flashes of memory. The things I'd...
At some level, the problem was probably brewing from the very beginning. We met in college. It was the summer before my junior year. I was at a house party thrown by a bunch of friends.

"So tell me Lauren, what are you going to do with all that money?" Lauren sighed, looked at the giant check for 200 million dollars, then back at the reporter. "Well, I plan to get a financial planner, so that I can invest it wisely." (Applause) "Are you going to work tomorrow?" yelled another reporter. "No," said Lauren after a brief pause. (Laughter)...
Chapter One A BLOOD-RED BEAM of light cut through the darkness, sweeping back and forth, searching the tiny little room with deliberate urgency, finding nothing. Good. Gabriel Tanner stepped into the cellar and thumbed a switch on the laser sight of his MP-5 sub-machinegun. The red beam disappeared. Reaching behind him, he pulled a tiny figure into the ro...
All characters are of legal age. The place is the Southern Tier area of New York State. The next time you drive through one of those sleepy little rural towns so small that they barely show up on a map, consider that perhaps there is a lot more going on than meets the eye. That surely was the case back then in the town of Chapman; where the gently rolling...

I would appreciate it a great deal! Also, I would be remiss not to mention that this story is not a stroke piece. There is some buildup, and if you are not interest...
