Last Day He would have much preferred to send her an e-mail or even a text but he owed her the truth. The last 24 hours or so had finally awoken him to the reality that guided their lives and he had been much happier when he was still clueless about how bad things really were. He was a little...

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...

I know and have her blog site booked marked but is there a current list of her completed stories? I know a few women I think who...

There have been several posts over the last few months of people wanting help to find the name of a story from the old fiction section at FS. Well, I decided to see if I could find the names of those stories since I knew which ones they were talking about but the name was at the tip of my tongue. ...

Ch.1: The plains in the northern lands stretched out for miles, flat as milled paper with tufts of brown grass that swayed in the ever present breeze. The sky there was never blue. It sat between the beige of morning and the lupine gray of afternoon, and at night, the stars were cloaked by a...

Keith woke up slowly as Janna shook him. “Mm?” This early in the morning, a grunt counted as intelligent conversation. “Power’s out, love.” He pried one eye open and looked for his wife in the pre-dawn darkness. In her bed, the baby grunted in her sleep and rolled over. Keith...

Today is my brother's birthday. He is exactly 30 months older than me. He is also my last remaining family. The last several days, I've been thinking alot about him and me and the special bond we have so I wrote this poem and sent it off to him. Now I know he aint the mushiest gusher on the...

Years ago I read a story about a man who threw a rock through a window of the local politician's office. Then it happened elsewhere, and next thing he knew it was happening all over. Does anyone know the story I read? What was the title and who was the author? It was at least 20 years ago I...

My laptop died and I have yet been unable to get into my bookmarks and I'm looking for a story that I think is called "The Mountain." It's about a young man with a troubled past that moves into the old family hunting cabin and eventually buys it from his dad. He's a short order cook and has a...

I can't remember where I read this story the main character is a handyman that lives in the Thumb area of Michigan. There was to be a proposed sequel to that story. Not much to go on, but if anyone had read it I'm sure it's enough. :confused:Thanks Goat

There was a story, years ago, about patriots fighting the .GOV. It started off with a teacher who was trying to teach proper history and the constgitution. The principal fired him for it. Torqelson was her name, I think. He got a job teaching childern in a private class. Torqelson came and had him...

Somewhere, I read a story centered on an ex-MLB Player with huge guard dogs, a couple of attractive women, a psycho fundamentalist preacher and some Amish plus ranching figured into it. I downloaded it a while ago and of course, that PC cratered -- of course I didn't get it backed up in my PDF...

I think I read this story here. The whole Aquila Aquifer is collapsing into giant sinkholes. The hero is in a station wagon with his family frantically racing Northward toward solid ground and narrowly avoiding being swallowed all along the way. It wasn't finished the last time I read it. ...

Howdy all, Does anyone remember a story about a guy that sold Ideas and his aduit from the IRS? It was posted at the tree, I have no idea what it was called. Even the title would be helpful. Thanks

There was a story that started on the Frugal board just before it went away, and I was hoping it was posted somewhere else. It was about a couple that retired from the east coast to a farm. The husband stayed at the old house while it was being sold and he packed it up. He still had a little...

Some time ago I began reading a story by DarkDwarf titled Tears of Blood. Anyone remember the title or the author? Not sure if I found it here or over at the web site where "no one may speak the name". Any help appreciated.

I'm trying to find a copy of cracking the liberty bell by J.J. Johnson. Nothing to find online. I hate to say this but I had it saved to 3.5in floppys a long time ago, and they have all gone bad. Does anyone have a copy of it hanging around? I can't find it on the net, and nothing showes up on...

Friends, I'm wanting to do a story about what it would be like to live through a Long and Severe drought here in America. Can't seem to dig up much Good Data. How much would the rain have to decrease to really cause widespread hunger and suffering here in America? At what point do you...

Anyone have a copy (full) of this? Can't recall where i downloaded the one i have, it only goes to the end of Chapter 50. I have no idea if this was just left hanging, as happens to many stories, but would love to have the rest if it is out there. Plot covers the complete economic collapse of...

A little one off put together awhile back- I guess with the third anniversary of the Great Seacouver quake coming up, I’ll go ahead and tell you our story. It was a simple summer workday like any other. I was in town picking up some groceries at the new market down by the waterfront. My...

This story got away from me a little, one of the main characters in the outline didn't even show up. (He took one look at what was happening, and he left town). This is the most explicit story I've ever written, but it is still tamer than the romances on the shelves at walmart. It is a 37,000...
