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...
Chapter 9 - Dead or Alive The large domed stadium of the Nexius Cley Holo-Arena was packed with spectators. It was a sea of mostly black jackets that encircled the centre stage, a large round platform where a twenty foot tall holographic blonde woman in only black stockings and high-heels was dancing around a pole. There was a roar of noise around the pla...
Edited by A+ Editor Girl (Thanks!) Sadie Mae was washing dishes when she caught sight of something in the woods, down past the old Buick Uncle Bud had dumped back in '46. She dried her hands as she went outside for a better look. The woods were oak and walnut and even a few chestnuts. Most all were over a hundred feet tall. Around her trailer, thick u...
Chapter One "Damn him. He wasn't supposed to be the first one to go. He promised me. He's really screwed it up, he has." Sadie, jarred by the tone of Jan's voice, sat up on her haunches and nosed her head into her new mistress's hand. Without even realizing she'd done it, Jan stroked Sadie's head and behind an ear. Reassured, Sadie gave an "I wasn't really...
Simon Says: Last chapter. It would be easy to do another series with some or all of these characters, so who knows? But for now, as I try to continue to clean out my literary partially written story closet, this is the end on this one. Jack, Sadie and I thank you for coming along for the ride. Standard caveat: I am about the slow burn. And of course this...
The leaves crunched beneath my feet as I walked down the camp road. My dog, Sadie, was dressed in her blaze orange dog sweater that I'd picked up on my way north at L.L. Bean---the Maine woods were no place for a yellow lab to run through during hunting season. I myself had found an old orange sweatshirt of my father's on the nail by the back door---he'd hav...
The old Volvo rolled to a stop in front of the Victorian house. It had been carved up into three apartments and Sadie lived on the second floor. The light she had left on cast a warm glow in sharp contrast to the chill that she was beginning to feel after turning the car off. Even so, she continued to just sit staring straight ahead. Although looking at the...

Author's Note: I'm including a little cast list to keep track of characters, especially since I may have edited a couple names since you first read Chapter One. New characters will be added the chapter after they're introduced. All characters are 18 or over. CAST LIST AJ: Our protagonist, a quiet, nerdy, guy, but nice and well-liked at his small high scho...
