This one's my take on a "weird tale" in the vein of Robert Chambers or Algernon Blackwood... which means it's slow-moving and there's nary a psycho killer or tentacle monster in sight. Also, there's not a lot of sex here, so if you're looking for fast action this may not be your thing. * * * * * From September of 1928 a weekly advertisement accompanied by...
The Final Test PART ONE: WRESTLING WITH LOVE GOD Anna and I sat in the lavish theatre room of my hotel in hell. Freshly buttered popcorn slickened our fingers and lips, crunching loudly between our teeth. The large projection screen displayed the dinner date between Lucy and Rachel in crystal clarity. It was shown to us as an actual movie, with differing...
Hello all, this chapter is a nice long one for everyone, so I hope you enjoy it. Also, I wanted to answer a common question I am getting. The reason it is taking so long for the chapters to come out even though my wonderful editor SkepticalHeritic and I are three chapters ahead, is because I am going over them again trying to catch editing errors. On top of...
I'd like to thank the many readers who provide a bit of feedback now and then. For one thing, it let's me know if I haven't done something as well as perhaps I should have. The comments that I've seen for this tale tells me that I've left one or two scratching their heads and I take that as my failing. If I was a better writer, I might have avoided that. ~sh...
Chapter 5: Family Mel Sanchez was the love of my teenage life, she was pretty and fit and kind, we've been friends since we were both 12, and since then she's been the target of my affections ever since. She was the first girl I ever came out to, and the first one who rejected to me, I tried to kiss her and she freaked out. She didn't tell anyone but we ne...
I'd like to thank those readers who have been kind enough to send me feedback. It keeps me writing. I noted that my chapters are sometimes too short for some. I guess that's just the way that I've gotten used to writing in the little pieces of time that I sometimes have to write in. But to move this ahead a bit, here's a long chapter. Enjoy. ---------------...
When my wife and I were much younger we took in a neighbor kid, seeing him through his last year of high school and tech school. That situation gave me the idea for this story, hopefully you'll enjoy it. ***** I didn't much like where I was living, a two bedroom apartment with no garage area or storage, the only redeeming value is that it was on the first...
"Were you following me?" Her voice stopped me in my tracks. When I turned around I could see a face etched with rage. "Yes," I said. The face now turned blood-red in fury, "You fucking perve ..." I put my hand up to stop her but I don't think that did it, I think she was just so outraged she just ran out of words. I took advantage of her silence, "I wasn...
The Orangery was airy and lit naturally from the south side by floor to ceiling French Windows. These were now folded back alternately, along its whole length. A cooling breeze shifted the tied back lace curtaining and fans were dotted around the inner edges to further cool the room. It was large, fifty foot wide and nearly a hundred feet long. The high ceil...
At long last, the Finale of Finally. It would probably help to read the first three chapters of this, to understand this final chapter. I really enjoyed writing this couple's story. And though they're of my own creation I've grown very fond of Rico and Sherry, and I hope you'll enjoy this. Something was off with Sherry. Rico could feel it, but couldn't figu...
