Ka-boom! Splaaat! The loud report from my gun was followed by the sound of the falling beast, his mighty fangs snapping a few inches from my nose. It twitched a little and died. Its open eyes were looking at me accusingly. I looked at my gun guessing that I was lucky I had it at hand when the medium sized T-Rex came from our yard's bushes charging at me cl...
February Sucks: Forewarned By greenday0418 This my second contribution to George Anderson's February Sucks. Don't jump ahead as it is completely different than my first try; most of the story takes place before Feb. 29th. No one dies or gets beat up, but the main characters are all there, as well as the two unnamed couples getting names. I changed the time...
(Sorry it took so long. I'm dealing with a recently dislocated wrist and some other problems, but I cranked out what I could.) * "Ok, so Otis grew up on the Hill with me and my sisters. All he's ever had was his dad and his papaw. Otis momma left at a real young age, and no one knows where she went. Otis's daddy was a firefighter, and he died in a fire a f...
This story features discussion of mental illness and hints at grace's less than pleasant past. I have endevoured to do soon a fair an accurate way, using my own experience of mental illness personally, as well as through my friends and my work in mental healthcare. It may not be enjoyable reading for all, however, mental illness has defined each of my relati...
It all started with the ad I placed on the Internet Trading Post site: Would you like someone to watch...M4MW – 43 Not Ken and Barbie, it doesn't matter to me. More like Shrek and Fiona. I could care less. Straight M seeks real couple to watch. Race, age, and size not important. Don't ask for my photo, I don't want yours. Don't want to exchange endless ema...
Will always liked going back to school in the fall. Johnny and the guys never could understand why he always looked forward to it. To them it was sheer drudgery that was only made tolerable by girls in short skirts and basketball games with dancing cheerleaders. It wasn't that Will didn't like those things too (what red blooded eighteen year old doesn't?), b...
I looked it up: "Our earliest substantiated evidence for elf-beliefs comes from Anglo-Saxon England, medieval Iceland, and the German-speaking world of the time. Some general themes are apparent in the texts: elves were human-like; were once pagan divinities of some kind; and were so dangerous they could cause harm to people or livestock and might seduce peo...
"Sara, would you take me and Cat home?" Dane asked in his booming voice as he yawned. The movie we had seen earlier ("Lord of War") had been wonderful but emotionally taxing. Although he's six foot seven and 250 lbs. Dane is as helpless as a kitten when he's tired and Cat was long gone, slumped against Andre on his couch. Taking the last bite of my miniatu...
A blaring horn brought Sam back to reality. Startled, he jerked his car back into his lane, realizing he had just driven right past his exit. "What in the Hell is wrong with me?" he thought. It was Friday, and Sam was on his way home from the airport after a trip that had been a mix of work and play. The work had been a waste of time, but the play had been...
Adele was bored. She lay on her stomach on top of her bed, swinging her feet above her head, desperately tried to find a new way to amuse herself. Unfortunately, there was nothing to do. She had already checked her email twice, written in her journal, and stared at the ceiling for too long than she cared to think about. She had entertained the thought of a m...
