NB: Contains watersports. My life was all about control. Control over others and control over myself. The always calm composure that makes the difference in the deal or no deal of the business hell I twisted myself around like a snake. What has that control bought me? A sports car that does twenty miles to the gallon and a house with six bathrooms and an...
My first submission on this site. Enjoy! ------ I awoke after some strange dreams when a sound just on the edge of my perception roused me. The house was empty and dark, save for the street lights filtering in through the windows and casting the house into a contrast of yellow patches of light on impenetrable shadows. At this time of year I didn't need ai...
Tiffany Taylor and Julia Shultz were in big trouble. They were in a rented car on an empty road in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere. In the mirror they could see the police car's lights spinning and flashing; they could hear the siren screaming. But worse, they were in fact a little high, they had in fact been speeding a lot, and to top it of...

With sirens blaring and crowds of people crying out for help, the Brotherhood of Mutants had decided to make a ‘statement’ in Central Park… One that involved a great deal of noise and property damage. Avalanche and Blob were busy tearing up the walkways and street lamps while Pyro set trees on fire, laughing it up while they scared off groups of people, who...
Note- My take on the infamous season three episodes of the Batman tv show from the sixties, 'Nora Clavicle,' and 'Surfs Up.' I do not own the rights to Batman, the comic book or television show, this is a fan based parody intended for fun only. xxx A festive day in Gotham City, where, at a civic luncheon at the Gotham Astoria, Commissioner James Gordon h...
Note: Some of the characters use pidgin English. This is not intended to be offensive just to recreate a dialect that was spoken at the time. Hong Kong: 1875 "Hey Missee. You no go there, heya." "I'm just interested, Amah". I take my ear away from the closed door. I am desperate for some excitement; for a chance to know something more of this strange pla...
The whistle of the train chugging along on the track woke up Zeria from her light slumber. The last couple of days had been pulling a strain on her that had her sleeping without even intending to. The train ride started two days prior in New Jersey and was currently in Texas. No sleep and being in a god forsaken cart with an older gentleman across her in the...
Detectives Rebecca Ramirez and Stacy Tsao walked into the burnt out building. The sickening smell of burnt flesh filled nostrils. The drawback of working arson. "Ramirez, and Tsao, Arson Division," Rebecca told the fire marshal at the scene. "Got any idea what happened?" Both detectives wore a standard dress suit but had their top buttons undone to show...
There was a beautiful festival full of temporary shopping stalls, possibly rigged games with promises of prizes, wandering musicians, temple prayers, and a tall tree with seemingly thousands of drooping branches. Ice coated the bare, wretched looking bark, but that didn't matter. People slipped their fingers out of their gloves and muffs so they could use th...
