Whispers in the Wind The winds carried an otherworldly murmur, a sound that reverberated through Aria's World, the Frozen North. Aria, with her blue eyes scanning the horizon, sensed a disturbance in the tranquil stillness. The frosty air whispered secrets of change, and the polar bears, once steadfast companions in the vast expanse of ice, seemed to mirror...
Magic. That's how it began. Usually such a statement brings nothing but foreboding, and I would like to make a statement right now that I have not written this book to make people fear. I have written this treatise for the exact opposite reason, if truth be told. Nine and a quarter centuries ago humans had truly conquered Earth. Of course, the price had be...
IIAn Englishman's Home Lindiwe 2065 After so many months of struggle and sacrifice, the arduous journey was finally over. Lindiwe had arrived. In the town's short history, few had suffered as much as Lindiwe to reach Ashton Lovelock. Few could have endured the adversity, hunger and rape. Few would have willingly paid so much from so little savings to make a...
August Cooper arrived a few minutes late to Anna Williams' studio, but in many ways, he was right on time. August met Anna at the gym just a few months before, and they were pleased to learn that they shared the same interest in movies, music and the Mets.

LXXXIIIHome is Where the Heart isIris2060 It would never have been Iris' ideal choice of career, but there weren't many choices still available to her. Though there'd been an evident expansion in employment opportunities as the White Death receded, this brief boom vanished at almost the same rate as the last bodies were being incinerating. The jobs that app...
*Author's Note: Any and all persons engaging in any sexual activity are at least eighteen years of age. Chapter 8 Harmony and Unity obviously did their homework; George came home to find Unity swiveling her perfect little ass to Doro's Kiss Me like a Cobra, and unhooking her faux leather bra. She gave one wild swing to her hair, tousling it wildly, and the...
Dear Shoeblossom: I come home from work, pulling up in my BMW Z4 Roadster, and the gardener greets me respectfully "Mr. Wegg, how are you?" I grin at him. Yes, Palmer Wegg is a hot shot in this thriving Midwestern city... and when I go in the house I am pleased to see my pretty wife Zenobia relaxing on the divan. "Hello, Pom." She greets me, smiling. Z...
August is a strange month at work; both staff and patients tend to be on holiday and are in relatively short supply so there is an eerie quietness about the place. For a research scientist like me it's a good time to catch up on the formalities of editing papers for publication and liaising with PhD students about their progress. The reduction in pressure a...
