If I did this correctly, you shouldn't have to go back read the prologue in order to follow. However if you feel like getting a back story, feel free. Much gratitude for the feedback. Even the not so positive ones. I'm hoping the issues have been addressed but you can be the judge of that. I've split it into time frames to make it more manageable. Hope y...
Author's note: Welcome to the second chapter of Two Thousand and Ten – the tale of a year in the life of two friends from a seaside town in southern England. I would like to take this opportunity to point out that the following chapter is purely a work of fiction, my character names are chosen totally at random, and no resemblance to any person (living or...
Port George was never a town I would have chosen to visit. It sat a really rocky outcrop on the North Cornish side of the Bristol Channel and took the full force of the North Atlantic weather. The village, jutting out on ragged cliff edges, wasn't the most welcoming place to be even at the height of summer and you kind of got the feeling that the Gulf Strea...
It says in Ecclesiastes "time and chance happens to them all." Before recent events, I believed things happened for a reason. Now I am not so sure. Everything used to be knowable and predictable. Mark and I had a wonderful life. We had a circle of friends and were heavily involved in our church. I was thinking that in another two or three years, the time wo...
Chapter 57: A New Dream The drive back was uneventful, and the rest of the day was spent to put things away, plan our agendas and come back to real life. Weeks came and went, and we had one major problem. The due diligence we had ordered when we had looked at the company in Southern Australia was full of flaws, and I assumed that fraud was involved. It too...
Parallel Lives Before we get started, a brief introduction to set the scene... The year is 2025, and in a parallel universe to our own, men have become endangered. A virus - commonly known as Anderson-Swift's Disease, after the Victorian scientist who originally identified it - that attacks the male immune system, has resulted in a world where only one in...
Chapter 1 -- Taken From her golden throne, the Queen Ada of the elves surveyed her domain. To either side of her sat her adopted daughters, Princess Elvira and Princess Adria. As had been their way since their very creation, the elves did not produce offspring of their own. Rather, they took humans from their world and transported them into the different e...
*** A series of TG-themed stories which I hope will be of interest to those who like women, or would like to be a woman. Which includes me! *** Kathy looked at me, hard. She looked disapprovingly at my legs. Actually I thought my legs were looking mighty fine at that moment, as legs go that is. But she didn't approve, and said so in no uncertain terms....
Everyone in this story is over eighteen. It is far and away my most ambitious work to date, tracing the metamorphosis of a young married woman from being a downtrodden wife, through a chance encounter, eventually into a spiral leading her into a world she had never dreamt of. I hope someone bothers to read it. My story begins in the following way, but that...
The older staff members all called him Doc. I had no idea why until someone said that his name was Savage hence 'Doc'. It still meant nothing to me of course until one of the older men told me about the American cartoon character and I googled it. Dan Savage was a senior at my firm and reading the notes on Wiki I thought the nickname suited him rather well....
