This is my entry to the "SUMMER EVENT 2019". I want to preface this by saying I am not a professional. I do everything on my own. I know I have to grow as an author, editor and especially as a writer. Meet John and his merry bunch. This will be a short story. *** "Sun, sea, sand and most importantly babes." Rick wiggled his eyebrows as he was explaining t...
Chapter 10 "So, what is it to be done with the prisoners? These aren't situations envisioned very well by the Hague or Geneva Conventions, neither of which have been ratified by the Commandant on our side or the Imperial Wizard on his. Not, mind you, that there is any quarter given much of late. Or asked, for that matter. Kluckers are only surrendering when...
"God DAMN IT." I crushed my empty red bull can into my desk and flung it against the brick wall next to me. "Hey. Rae." Jude's voice was smooth and calming. "Fuck it, we'll get it, don't flip out." "It's the same god damn exception that I had this morning." I gestured towards the screen. "Null Pointer Exception. It shouldn't be null! There's no reason for...
I decided to do a bit of revisions on this and add to it for part of my nano story. I hope you enjoy! * * * * Chapter One The sound of battle rose to the ears of the people, causing them to gaze with horror at the practice field where two men battled furiously. Steam seemed to come off of them on this day where the sun seemed cold and the gray sky did lit...
"Stupid frigging sheep," Scott stammered to himself as a limb slapped off the flank of a darting sheep and caught in right in the nose. If the sting to such a tender part of the face was not bad enough, the felling of liquid on his upper lip indicating it had given him a bloody nose was worse. Instinctively he wiped it with his hand and then started after th...
And then the rain came. Not the light, summer rain that falls on warm breezes or the gentle precipitation that refreshes on hot, humid days. This rain drove down in torrential sheets that obliterated the horizon. This was the third day of bad weather. The chateaux stood grim and stark against the grey morning clouds and the fruit orchards that surrounded...
The truck drove up to the front door of the big, square industrial building perched on a hill in the middle of nowhere. A young man, studious and nerdy, open the door and stepped out into the cool morning air, walked up to the front door of the building and rang the intercom. "It's James DeFranco from the Bulletin to meet with Doctor Saunders." There was a...
"You're a fucking bitch" Frank spit at Carmen. They were in the lunch room and there were several other people there. Frank had asked Carmen when she was going to get a transfer to another office and Carmen had told him "I told you I wasn't going to ask for a transfer, I'm not going anywhere." Carmen and Frank had lived together for three years and had re...
Second chapter of my new series. I had so many ideas at the moment I don't know which one I can start writing, but I guess somehow that's my curse. Maybe a walk with my invisible puppy should clear my thoughts *wink*. Thanks to my good friend Thanos for the help and yes, the fourth satire about the Stones will be about Mind Stone, but I forgot who could be a...
As we rode I sat and looked at Rachel's face. In her sleep I could see the turmoil evident in her dreams. I stroked her back and instantly the look on her face became one of total relaxation. I held her and thought what that meant for me... to me. Ray turned and looked at her and said, "How could anyone hurt someone that beautiful?" I looked at him, my fa...
