Author's note: The events of this story happen in the "universe" of my previous short story, The Protest, that I uploaded on December 2017. I'm planning on making a series of stories on that world, where the characters of each story will be connected somehow.

Thanks also to my loyal readers, who have stayed with me through my so...
Jon drove slowly down the beach. He loved Daytona just for that reason. Being able to drive his tricked out Jeep down the shining sand with the water on one side and the sight of bikini-clad bodies all around him—nothing better in all of the world as far as he was concerned.

This year, it was my turn. So, the theatre was decked out in reds and greens. The concession stand was selling popcorn but little else. All of the lights were on in th...
I'm submitting this story to Novels and Novellas because it is long but it could just as easily be in Sci-Fi and Fantasy or even Erotic Horror, especially this first part. I have a lot finished so I should be submitting chapters weekly. Enjoy! T. :: Chapter 1 Vera loped through the muggy midsummer woods. The sun was setting and the low orange rays seemed...

He had spent the last few days in his studio since Dr. Nakato was on vacation for the last few days and would be until next monday. He didn't know if he was artistic, before the...
