Foreword: READ THIS FIRST! This is just a bit of fun I decided to write, involving my favorite comic book universe. It is set in a Pre-Flashpoint Earth that's a lot like the continuity was, before Flashpoint happened. You already know not to take it too seriously... right? LOL I wrote this several years ago, but decided to resubmit it here on Lit. Just b...
Chapter 6 The crowd was insane. It wasn't unusual considering this was one of the biggest music festivals of the country, where thousands of people gathered to watch the most popular DJs belting out popular tracks. Tonight, it was DJ Matt making the crowd go crazy. It was September already, and that was possibly Matt's last big show that year. Luciana ha...
CHAPTER THIRTY Kate woke in the hospital room and looked around. She saw Luna, Thorn, and Aaron in a corner talking to the pack doctor. It worried her that she still couldn't hear them. She opened her link with her Alphas only, "If you're talking about me I'm awake, but carry on I can't hear anyway." "Kate, the doctor was just saying you'll be good as new...
*Author's note: I work around a lot of retired Navy and Marine Corps F-18 pilots, and this story is based on something a retired colonel recently told me. He has a retired Marine friend who lives on Fleming Island in Florida who took a job as a teacher's aide several years ago. He didn't end up marrying her, but she did have serious mobility issues caused by...
Copyright © 2018 Forward: After getting the general idea for this tale, I realized there were 3 different directions in which I could go with it. For days, I ran each scenario over and over in my head trying to decide which would make the best story. I finally settled on the following. I hope I made the right choice. *** By the way Kendra was picking at...
The man floated through space in his cryo-tube, slumbering in a deep dream where years passed in seconds. The cryo-tube's self-contained generator did not produce much electricity from its decaying power core, but it did not need much to perpetuate adiabatic demagnetization and keep his body at near absolute zero within the gel-filled pod, insulated by the p...

APRIL I guess I have a lot to thank Mrs. Johanssen for - not just the sex. She helped me get my act together; I went on to finish my graduate degree and I never looked back. Nowadays I'm a psych professor at a reputable college on the East Coast. It's a pretty good gig; it sure beats working for a living. As you probably imagine, it really happens; I've b...
The Curse of the Scots, Part Three. A confused man and two tormented women. Cayden has some thoughts: I'd been thinking about what's been happening to me; I mean the inconsistencies. I've known this woman just four days: I feel my life is being changed, and I'm not sure if it makes any sense. I remember an old movie; something called 'People Will Talk'. I...
He untied me, massaged my wrists. Still, it was a while before I was back in the here and now. I stumbled as he led me into the outer room, and he settled me on a couch, before disappearing.
