Hello to all. This is Part 4B the Hallmark-ish version. It has no real relationship to the other items I have written. It's a continued commentary and idea formed around a common argument between a friend and I. While he is a Tech Guy, he has an absolute abhorrence to the idea of an AI companion. While I, being more in the Luddite and troglodyte realm, think...
Article 1 (sorted chronologically) Owner: Stiles, R. Item: Written Log Fragments (2/15/48) Thought that the pool would hold it (section missing) a week, it had almost completely filled the thing. It doesn't move, except to grow larger. Worried that- (remainder of entry was destroyed, presumably due to incident) (2/21/48) -extraterrestrial in ori...
This story is a sequel to 'Sharing the Wealth.' You will understand this story's plot and characters better if you read that one first. If you didn't like that story, you won't like this one. Also, I have switched from first- to third-person narrator, just to try it out. And the kinks are rougher here, also an experiment. **** "I can't believe you guys act...
Editor's note: this story contains scenes of incest or incest content. ***** Everywhere I turned from the moment I left my brother Josh in -- processed into the hospital's fertility study, I faced roadblocks, under the watchword "procedure." My visit to the hospital lawyer which should have lasted a few seconds to drop off legal papers wasted half the day....
"What are you doing?" Renee's question was clearly rhetorical; She stood in the doorway to the living room, looking down at me with her hands on her hips as I racked up another kill in the video game I was playing. I gestured at the screen anyway. She cocked her head just slightly. "I need you to pick up Amber at the airport, remember?" I paused the game,...
Author's Note: In case it's not obvious by the end of this, I do have plans to create a proper sequel to Autus, but it won't happen for quite some time. I have several other projects that have been neglected in recent weeks/months. Without further ado, enjoy. ***** Kona's Journal Entry #1: Well, since Gwen and Diana are writing, I figured; why not? I coul...
They had been caught cheating. The founders of Icebound Studios-one of the founders had been caught cheating with the wife of the other. That's what had caused the split, that had caused Callie to get on that plane at the last moment, to help work on the latest game, Sword of Oblivion 4, only a few months before release. The story had broken last Thursday...
People say that life is a learning experience. That was one saying that Daniel Hopper could readily agree with. It seemed that he had never stopped learning, not from the day he started kindergarten right up to this morning when he rolled out of bed. So far, his twenty-four years on Planet Earth had provided plenty of life lessons but the one he found when h...
"Thank you for the Screwdriver, Ashley," Holly said, her voice pleasant on the ear. She shifted around in her chair until she found a position that supported her neck. In her ivory arm was a highball glass containing an orange tincture. She sipped a little with her ruby lips and sent a seductive smile to her hostess. "You're quite welcome Holly, it's an hon...
Gesso Part 5 Note to Readers: This series concerns the adventures of a friend of ours. It's been embellished and fictionalized, partly by her as she told it, and partly by me. I have her permission to repeat it. You'll Want to Read Parts 1-4 to make any sense of this story. ***************************** Carl leaves it for me to lock up when he leaves for...
