John put away the last of the beakers and stood back to admire the day's work. He had finished moving into the new next-door facility. The newly delivered PCR machines and electrophoresis scanners were set in their respective stations, the autoclave was humming away on a set of dishes and pipettes, and the CRAY computer in his lab was humming by the far wall...

Spring in Toronto is normally warm and pleasant, but this was not one of those type of days. Cassandra looked out the view from her window, it was pouring, it was gray and she didn't want to be out in it. She'd had enough rain in her lifetime. Cassandra remembered something at that second – she hated rain. Hated it, loathed it, despised it with every fibre...
We were so looking forward to this weekend getaway. Glenn Meadows was very rustic, secluded and very romantic. Steven hadn't had a vacation even though this was a weekend we were still excited. Him being the provider made sure he shopped for food. I looked at the food being placed into coolers. We could feed a third world nation. Steaks, pork chops, Salmon....

CHAPTER 1 Aldershot: 4th April 1982 The pub was packed; mainly soldiers; it was the regimental boozer after all, but also locals keen to say goodbye to their boys. There were a small group of hard nuts who thought that picking a fight with a red beret was a reflection of their own vaunting masculinity. The NCOs could have spent the evening in the comfort o...
We don't know where we come from. We don't know what brought us here. We only know we are alive, and me and my brethren are still searching for the answers. Who am I? I have no name. I am one in tens of trillions. Names would be impossible. Numbers? Nope, wrong again. We all are assigned designations as these species do. The intelligent are our elders, leadi...

Janis sat on her porch, reading a book in the mid-afternoon sun. She was glad to finally have some time to herself, without Kyle around. Not that she didn't love him, she was just getting bored with him. They'd been dating for over a year now, and she needed some excitement in her life. Kyle was the kind of guy to fall madly in love with the first girl who...
Author's Note: This is a story that sort of wrote itself. Part of it is based on a strange dream, part of it is painful reality, and some of it is just---weird. Bear with me...it doesn't have as much physical sex in it, but it is quite intimate and touching, as well as bittersweet. I hope you enjoy my story and are able to feel the emotions in it. Oh, and b...
