Author's Note: This is the first story I've chosen to release as a single entity, instead of releasing individual chapters or parts. I think it will flow better that way and I may choose to do more like this in the future. Enjoy! Austin Frazier pulled up to the small townhouse and put the car in park. Looking up at the dull-brown unit in front of him, he sp...
Lumberyard Miracle - A tale of improbable love INTRODUCTION / IS THIS STORY FOR YOU? — This is a love story, and like many love stories it is about the unlikely odds of two people finding one another in such a huge world made up of seemingly random events and billions of people. It is a story that I hope explores deeper than the flesh and bodies of the cha...
We're all on different journeys, but we share a common road. A road that goes on forever and never looks quite the same to any two people. And all those other people rushing past in their own cars are experiencing a journey just as complex as our own; with just as many twists and turns and trials. So, take the time to wave at them and smile. It takes just...
USS Triton, Thirteenth Fleet Headquarters Stardate 51183.45: Tattok sat behind his desk, staring hard at the image on his desk monitor, grateful that the one on the other side wasn't here in the flesh. "And that's it, Admiral? No apologies, no regrets, no excuses?" The image of Admiral Ian Trenagen was sitting in his own office in the London annex of Star...
February Sucks. by GeorgeAnderson. This tale has its origin in a conversation remembered from some decades ago. The conversation shocked me, and made such an impression that I'm quite sure I remember its essentials correctly. A recent event reminded me of that conversation, and motivated this story. Thanks to BlackRandl1958 and stev2244 for their kindness,...
Chapter 1. The beginning (where else?). Amanda Silk closed the last file on her desk and looked at the watch on her wrist. Six thirty again, she thought, wondering if Andy had started dinner yet. She smiled, thinking of her husband, sitting at home, beer in hand, and watching a game on cable. No, probably hadn't even noticed the time. Andy was a panel beate...
Author's Notes: Sorry it took so long to get Part three submitted. It turned out to be much longer than I thought. I want to thank people for all the praise that I was given for Parts one and two, and I hope that this lives up to your expectations. Special thanks to my new and first ever editor Yellow Peril, he did a whole lot of work on this story, with...
Chapter 25 - Attack of the Puma I found Astral and Lauren talking to Floyd who was laughing. "Oh Josh there you are," Astral said as I came up to her. "We were just teaching Floyd here the 'Bahia Greeting' and we came up with a new twist. Here do me." I smiled at her and stepped up saying, "How positively ravishing you look tonight, Ms. De Soto," and as...
Hi, folks. We're continuing the "wild and crazy stories," with one that while set in our time period is kind of out there, but Hey!...It could happen. My thanks as usual to the incredible Mikothebaby for her editing even though she lost 2 computers during the writing of this story she still came through. Okay here we go. SS06 * * * * * * As...
"Love is Enough" follows my earlier short story "Oscar's Place." It tells the tale of a hipster playwright and two (mostly) friendly ghosts. The story includes nudity, adult situations, and flapper slang—lots of flapper slang. ***** 1. "It's cold out here," Gabby said, and wrapped her hands around her bare shoulders. She had to shout to be heard over the...
