PLATO is the most powerful computer ever... grown, but he has been able to hide that power from everyone except Marcella and Richard. In this final chapter, he is forced to reveal the full extent of his power. This story stands- more or less- on its own but might make more sense if you have read the previous chapters. This final chapter again gets a littl...
Hey guys, Thank you for the positive response and all the encouraging comments, it's the reason I am attempting to continue this story. I am still a beginner, so constructive criticism is always welcome. As usual, work of fiction... resemblance to any living... purely coincidental...blah blah blah. Enjoy. ************* As soon as we stepped in th...
Bad Work Day - The Jewellery Store Hector Brown hated working on Sundays. As the store manager for a downtown jewellery branch, Sundays were almost dreadful. Not a soul would be found on the streets; the religious would be in church and the rest would be anywhere but here, enjoying all the benefits a warm summer day could deliver. And today just happened to...
The sound of crunching metal and shattering glass against the snow blade made Marcus wince. He looked in his side mirror and saw the telling signs of a car having been forcefully pushed off the road by his blade. The sight wasn't new to him.

They had a big night planed, the gang was going to be playing Age of Conan all night but Sheldon got a last minute invite to see the Cern Large Hadron collider in Switzerland and Leonard wa...
Hey Everyone. Short and sweet. Big thanks to Archangel_M! Rosi *** "It's time." Uri's voice was soft, his footsteps quiet on the rugs scattered around Grim's study. Nina looked up from her spot on the couch, seeing Uri a few feet away from her in a grey button down and black jeans, his red hair slightly mussed as if he's just woken up. Pushing away f...
Author's Note: Sorry this took so long. Thanks to everyone who wrote in with such positive and insightful emails and comments! A few of you noted that the timeline was a bit confusing, and I agree that I was overly subtle, so I'll be putting in time markers as chapter headings. All dates are based from the first day in Part One (i.e. the main characters' fir...
"No," I said as Gina tried to unzip my jeans. We had been necking in the sun on a blanket outside our tent for 15 minutes and it was obvious how the situation was going to end up. But it was the middle of the afternoon, broad daylight. Even in the lee of the tent, there were still other campers only 200 yards away and even if they couldn't quite see us f...
This is my very first attempt at creative writing. I am challenging myself here. Please be kind. ***** She paused for a second, gulped and look down. Knowing the words would not go over well, she said, "I'm nervous". "Excuse me?" He said, sounding deliberately bothered. "I'm just trying to be honest, sir." She paused. "May I speak freely?"
