Don't know where this belongs. I just wanted to write it. I look, but cannot find, A shadow to be. For light has not found It’s place to be. Echoes that should never be heard Because sound it’s concept, quite absurd.

Good job, Alan. I just finished yesterday's installment. A couple comments: at the conclusion of the chapter, you bring up the source of the big fire--Union Street Station. Then in the following few sentences on how the fire started. A suggestion: for fleshing-out purposes, is Union Street...

I just wanted to say a general "thank you!!" to all the members who have graciously shared their talents on this forum. I have enjoyed, and still am,each and every story from the "old timers" to those who have just posted their first stories on here. Here's a round of applause for each of you!

When did I last tell her I love her? I lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, remembered I was in a non-smoking area and crushed it out. I can’t believe this is happening. Was this my fault? Do they remember I’m out here?

I had walked my freind home. Watched as she slogged through the mud going up her driveway to her lighted and warm house. I made my way back to head to where I had parked my Jeep. The clouds hung low and ominous making it seem three hours later in the day than it was. Everything was wet but...

Yeah, he's an LOTR fan, but his favorite poetry is Kipling - go figure. I love the 'strong women' theme. Granted - the other 3 members of his project group were young ladies - lol. I don't like this style - too ponderous for my liking but the assignment was to stay as close to the conventions of...

another from huntersdada's dada........... The heat here in my present world is puzzling. I have become stagnant like the dark air around me. My parts are starting to emit a mix of strong odors. My fresh red seems sharp and pungent. This scent is mildly irritating, but in a pleasing...

I'm a peep. A yellow peep. You think I'm just a peep, but I'm not. I'm a magical, beautiful peep, so goegeous that I look ugly. I have brown eyes, I'm made out of fake marshmallows (people think it's real marshmallows). I'm really yellow, I'm small, cute, all of my friends have gotten eaten,...

The young soldier received a direct command on what to do to the prisoner, yet he hesitated. There was something about the broken tortured man that made him feel that to inflict more pain just wasn’t right. He silently lamented that he had been deployed to the Middle East and that he had...

Chapter 2 Mike was at the bank at 0745 the next morning. Sam was out front waiting for the armored car. When it arrived, Sam handed the driver a receipt for the gold and sliver, as well as a copy of the wire transfer statement. He asked the drivers to load the metal into Mike’s truck. They...

Chapter 3 When things had settled down, Mike showed Dan an ingenious controller he had designed for the generator. It would start up the generator under 2 conditions: 1) If there was a load greater than 20 amps on the system, and the battery bank’s state of charge was below 70% or 2) if the...

Does anyone know what happened to those two stories. I was reading them and suddenly, about four months ago, the authors quit updating them. There has been no new posts on either story. I can't find a link to ask the authors directly so I thought I'd ask here.

Give Me Liberty... by Stephen Moore All Rights Reserved. ----- Chapter 2 Saturday morning. David woke, not to his alarm, but instead of Michelle quietly singing one of her favorite songs. It had been months since he heard her sing. As his mind was processing this bit of information,...

Hi all, I just finished reading this story by CanadaSue. I have to say that it was gripping. I think it is one of the best teaching stories I have read. It is very comprehensive. For those who haven't read it, it is told in the form of a journal. It was written in 2002. Also, it's only fair that...

I posted 3 more chapters and hope to get a couple more on tomorrow

Wind Dancers Sandy-bellies the Indians called them. Tramp sailors of the ancient seas, twin youngsters trip, trip, tripping close upon mamas heels. Clown-faced hobos race away on slender limbs, turn and face: furred Coy-o-te, trickster, eternal predator of the eternal herd.

This is just a small excerpt, posted to allow those who will be immediately put off, by the initial non christian conformity, evident in the beginning of the chapter. However this is part of the design and important to the storyline. I didn't like this myself, however, in my determined way, I...

Well, here’s the start of a story that I hope that you will like. I’ll be slow to post chapters, maybe one every couple of months after Chapter 1, due to not having a internet connection and schooling. Please note; This is not a racist story! It isn’t a turner dairies or something for...

Michael hated,detested his government given name. He tried his best not to think it let alone say it. Plus it was so hard to pronounce in that language. Writing it was impossible. Then again hardly anyone wrote anything anymore. First you have to have the material to do it with and then,what do...
