Colleagues leave the office for an ordinary sales trip but plotting and scheming behind the scene brings results that are hardly ordinary. As a recently divorced 35 year old male I should have been excited when our manager Mike asked me to take a trip with a single female colleague ten years my junior. There was a drawback to the idea, our travel plan invo...
Rhys rubbed his eyes as he reread the same sentence three times. It was a month into the first semester and his brain was slowly filling up with so much information it was going to explode. It wasn't so much the amount of reading he had to do, it was the content. He had assumed that Central Intelligence was just a branch of the F.B.I., but now that he was at...

I can't remember how it started, I remember though I had some ideas sketched into a notebook. I thought I had found a way to time travel. It had occurred to me that if we could see events in the past happen in front of us, we could probably travel to them and effectively be in the past. I began to work on a way to move outside our current temporal sphere and...

You know, I think hammocks were invented by some diabolical trickster-god, one with a truly sadistic sense of humor. Every time I lie upon one the suspension rope breaks, or the anchor comes loose, and down I come, returning to the Earth which bore me with a sudden, sullen, but not to be understated thud. There's nothing like the feeling of being struck with...
All rights reserved to author © 4-09-03 It was autumn, the year we moved. Autumn was always a good time for change. The night was starless, with only a small crescent moon for light. The large wolf watched from high atop his hill. He had sent the call out in early spring. It was time to leave this place of man. Man the destroyer of all things not understoo...
Thanks to Linda2953 for taking the time to edit this story for me and make it a much better read. Have you ever sat down and thought about a moment in time? Something or some time, which has stayed in your memory forever. I'm not talking about a wedding or a death in the family. Those are things we all remember. I talking about something insignificant to mo...
During the summer of 1975 I took a working vacation to Germany to gather material for a couple of travel magazines I sold to on a fairly regular basis. Of course, I did all of the usual tourist spots along the Rhine and Mosel rivers in the hope that I could find an angle the other travel writers had not worked to death, but I knew I really needed something t...
Chapter 2 : The Priestess Meets A General Part 3 : Friendship, Advice and Love "I have always wanted to travel," she said as they talked again afterwards. "But in my life I have never been very far. No one here travels far or knows much about anywhere else. Tell me about where you have been." "I have travelled all over the Empire and I have seen everythi...
