I stared at the serpent sculpted from the stone block, a serpent with an apparent hood of feathers. Scholars worldwide were in disagreement about the hood.

Others vigorously...
EDITED BY THE INCOMPARABLE "WIRES" WHO ONCE AGAIN HAS MADE MY STORY BETTER IN EVERY WAY. ***** Bob Trent finished his fourth beer in fifteen minutes. He belched and slammed the empty bottle down on the already cluttered table. The table top was as wet as if water had been poured on it, and already covered with empty beer bottles. Bob, sitting with his frie...
I made the turn at Seaside Ave. like I did every afternoon after work, about a mile into my run. Everyday I tried to put in at least four miles. I left the weightlifting to Lis who ran about 15 to 20 miles herself every week. My wife was more of a morning person and our workouts gave us each a chance to be on our own for an hour or so during the day. Today...

Every winter, after the rushed workweeks of the...

Vincent knew that he had past out while lying on the ground between his two women. He was on his side with his head resting against his arm when he returned back into the reality of his world.

"Hey, honey,this sounds interesting!" Jenna said, as she read the small ad buried deep in paper. "It says they are looking for contestants for a new show. Big cash prizes!" "It's probably some kind of scam." he said matter of factly. But the fact was, they were deep in debt, and on the verge of losing their home, and they would jump at any chance, no matter...
CHAPTER 1 My plane was twice as old as me, and had come to the end of its days. I had nearly done the same, crashing in the jungle. Both me and the prof were battered, bruised and had some minor cuts, but had come off better than our plane. That was good. What was bad was that we did not know where the hell we were, except it wasn't in the valley we were s...
