The investigation follows two strands of experimentation: 1) To esta...
Chapter XIV Juanita, the campground manager had actually remembered me from two years previously and almost assigned me to the same campsite that I had occupied then. My old campsite was occupied by a small travel trailer that I estimated to be about 18 feet long and maybe 20 years old. The convention with RVs is that the "front door" is on the starboard si...

Joan wears a white sleeveless tee shirt and faded jeans, her blue hair cropped short and her chest flat. From a distance, she gives the first impression of being a guy. The right arm is gone, less than a third of the upper arm remains. She walks with a swagger, nothing bothering her. "Hey, babe," Roger calls, seeing her walking across the parking lot to her...
Bev had been dismissed from the hospital two weeks ago. She was doing great and able to be at home alone when Lou was at work.

At first glance she was neither attractive nor unattractive. In her late thirties, she seemed slightly taller than average for a woman.

The handle of the hose nozzle chilled quickly as the fuel was borne out of the ground and into my Electra Glide Classic. My friend Craig sat astride his aging Panhead on the other side of the pump, waiting his turn to fu...
UNICORN OF THE APOCALYPSE October 23rd, 2076 One Year Ago There were so many questions I didn't ask. No time. I didn't stop to ponder how a zombie could have gotten past the decon systems, through the walls, or any of the doors. Why the cameras didn't notice him/it.
