Does anyone know if there is an end to this story? I thought I had read it before, maybe at frugal rat, but on the blog I have recently found it on, it ends about 4-5 chapters from when I remember it ending. Thanks, Jonathan

The Event – Chapter 2 8/1/2012-5:58 pm Eastern: Bernice Dickson, known as ‘BeBe’ to her friends, was out on her daily late-afternoon walk. Since she retired 20 years ago she’s kept up this routine. At first she covered nearly 5 miles a day, 6 days a week. More recently she’s been...

Bit-by-bit, SHIFT is being posted to the Private Fiction Forum HERE. If you are a member here, this is for you. The public will have to download the first 100 pages free on my site. Then, if they wish to finish the story, they will have to look for D. Doyle Reynolds on Smashwords.com or on Amazon,...

My pleasure, but as before please post comments on this seperate thread

Is there a program that most use here if they are going to publish there work for people to buy. I know that I have looked into online services and they can be expensive but maybe neccessry if you expect your work to sell. just wondering getting close to the end of my first book and looking at what...

This is a story I had posted with Frugal's squirrels, but it was deleted so I thought I would repost it here. I hope you enjoy it. Day Trip on Gander Mountain When Linda Lawry knocked on her daughter’s door and stuck her head in to say, “Good morning sleepy-head, time to get up,”...

Last year, I wrote, simply for fun, a daily serial here on TimeBomb called "The Swing." After I wrapped up the story, since it weighed in at over 110k words, I rewrote it completely, start to finish, as a much more cohesive novel. Then I continued to polish and tweak it for close to a year,...

Where can I find "Lights Out" online? Thanx, HB

Sorry about missing chap 55 before 56.:eek: I didn't mean to screw that up.:shk:

Come on, come on, I'm waiting for more. I love that story!

Didn't want to mess with the storyline so I'll start a thread for the kudos. :) Nice to see you back writing, sir! It has my interest. RR

The people we met at the Out Post. During the last 3 years we were at the Out Post we got to open a very small store, When we were care taking the hunting lodge they let us run a small store rather than pay us. In the store we sold worms, night crawlers, fishing tackle, candy and pop. The store...

Hi.... I am having difficulty finding the story, "All Your Eggs In One Breadbasket." Also, I believe there was a sequel. I do not even remember where I read it...just that I did. Thank you so much for helping. Darn old brain...:screw: hummer

After writing 40 entertaining short stories called Grantbo’s Misadventures I decided to try something completely new and different. I put out a more serious short story called ‘The Event’. It seems to have gone over pretty well, so I’ve decided continue developing this story into a full...

SF about a subtle form of Germ Warfare Payback

This is a Wonderfully imaginative story by my Friend Steve Bartok. He gave me permission to post it where I would, so long as he got credit. The New Darkness PART 0001

Here's the website: THE REVELATION Only the Prologue and 5 Chapters written so far -- I'm posting each chapter as I write it. The aesthetics of the website make it a bit hard to read with the white font on black screen. If you go over to the right-hand column, you'll find a link to the PDFs...

Friends, Steve is an awesome writer who specializes in Post Apocalyptic Fiction. He has a tiny Forum that very seldom keeps more than two or three active members. I thought that his stories deserved wider distribution--hence I asked his permission to post them on some Forums, and he...

Greetings y'all. I want to first thank Deena in GA for making these forums available for us to read these awesome stories and for a place for the authors to place their stories for everyone to read. I also want to thank you authors for your awesome stories, especially Kathy, Grand, Deena and...

Hi all! It has been a loonnnggg time since I last posted on TB2K. While much has changed, one positive item, for me at least, is I have gone back to writing fiction again. I posted a few short stories on "the other place" but up until recently, had not posted anywhere else with the exception of...

Not a 'Zombie Christmas Story', but a Christmas story with zombies.

My atomic mailbox stand has been acting up lately. As many of you know, I ‘acquired’ an old but live Atlas atomic warhead at an Air Force surplus auction about 8 years ago. After a series of issues that resulted from trying to employ it as the pump power supply for my backyard water...

Here we go again. From what I've been given so far, hold on tight. Chapter One "What are we going to do, Glenn?" Marsha asked her husband. "There's no way the four of us can get by on so little food." After the earthquake that had so devastated California and the massive hurricane that...

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...

Does Scrachline have any new stories anywhere? Thanks!

The comma says "Let's slow down for a second here". The period says "We better just stop right here". I found this very helpful. :p

I am trying to locate 2 stories from the cheap Sciuridae tree before they chop off the branches. The first one the main character has a wife that is in a wheel chair and the last thing I had read was he had just found his kids at his parents house but his parents were not there. The second...

Is it worth continuing? .....RVM45 :cool::shkr::cool:

In case you didn’t see it on the news, there was an alien invasion here in Central Washington a couple of months ago. Yup its true, big ugly gooey things showed up wanting to set themselves up as the top dog in the neighborhood. Most people don’t know what happened since the military clamped...

This isn't fiction, but I thought people here might appreciate it, especially if they are about to think 'yeah right' to a coincidence in a story. My husband sells vegetables at a Farmer's Market and stands beside a lady named Fran. The market has a curb where the vendors stand and there's...

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...

I read a PA story online some time ago, and can't remember where I saw it or its name. I know it wasn't on the Squirrel site because I never did get access to it. Here's what I remember (unfortunately I may be mixing two different stories) A man is travelling across a fairly empty America. I...

Gosh and Gollies..... Never felt called upon to post a Firearm Post here. Then I find out that there doesn't seem to be a Weapon Sub-Forum. O well..... I haven't tried this yet myself, but I'd love to. This fellow is loading 185 Grain .357 Magnum Bullets slightly hot. He claims to be...

Here is another story I posted on Frugal's. It is the first part of David Fontaine's story. Enjoy. My Name is David My name is David. Today we went to live in the basement. I don’t like the basement much, it smells funny and the walls get wet when it rains. When you turn the lights...

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...

This is another story I've posted elsewhere. It continues the story of David and his family. Here is a link to "My name is David": http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?402324-My-Name-Is-David Uncle Ben Part 1 My name is David and I live with my sister Mary Ann and Uncle...

I really want to do a Story soon about a Prolonged Drought accompanied by steadily rising Fuel Prices..... But in the meantime, an old story idea keeps coming back to taunt me. You've all seen stories about Alternate Universes..... But most of them are a Secret. Think of "Sliders" or...
