Il Agita di Amore is at http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?389191-Il-Agita-di-Amore I've been promising to get up something original to support TB2K and this is it. Let me know if it is worth continuing or if no one is interested. Constructive critiques are welcome as always. ...

Amazing what comes to you in the form of dreams brought on from a bit of bad pork. This story will likely be shorter than most as it is moving quite fast. If you like it I'll finish it, if not ... well, my imaginings have to go someplace or they crowd up my head too much. LOL! FEL BY THE...

This is a story that I started but never finished. It won't go near as fast as Fel By the Wayside did but it is in the best shape to be the next story to post here. Little different outlook on things from some of my other stories. -------------------------- The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth...

Some of you are bound to remember this one but some might not. It was originally posted over at the parsimonous tree rat forum but since it isn't there any longer I thought I would put it in the archives here. Looking over it I realize there are some awful editing mistakes so I'll try and clean...

Still feeling cruddy but better. Hubby decided since I couldn't get away to rest that he would steal me and the three younger kids away for a couple of days and come up here to the BOL. Oldest son conspired with him and he is keeping an eye on the house while we have it re-roofed. I slept...

The reason why I ask is that a couple of people have brought it to my attention and I found out that for some reason recently a lot of people had their blogs "disappeared". :confused: As the blogger I could see them when I log in but readers can't find them. Don't know if it is a glitch but...

I know I had this story started someplace but for the life of me I can't find it. I've looked all over. Well, I finally finished it. I'm going to post it in a couple of big chunks starting tonight and finishing up tomorrow or the day after that. I haven't done any real deep editing so it is...

I looked and didn't see that I'd ever posted this story here on TB2K. Lots of talk of pandemics again and I thought this one might be useful as far as planning goes. This was written back when people were just starting to worry about a Swine Flu pandemic. It was also written with a lot of input...

Hello everyone. No, I wasn't abducted by aliens. No, ISIS did not recruit me. No, I didn't die. Life has been very full and I've been dealing with it. I finished a story over on my blog but I just haven't had the time to do much more than that. I have however got a story that I'm posting here...

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...

Near the end of WWII, Adolf Hitler was paranoid as sin about one particular insurgent that seemed to get into everything secure in Nazi germany, he had his best men actively searching for this spy, and had ordered all his troops to shoot the menace. The "spy" Hitler was looking for was none other...

Does anybody know of some good PAW or Prepping stories I can pass on to my Grand kids, Kmtngoat

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

Here is how it went.... I was in sixth grade going to school. We had just gotten back from a field trip and are back at the school. My older friend left to go to a college field trip while I was about to got back to classes. Then the bomb went off. The eachers opened up an access hole that...

Ronny, with her eyes wide..her mouth a round "O" shape..broke into a laugh at her own surprise. "What was that..?", she asked, clasping her hands over her mouth and giggling like she had just heard whispered gossip about someone she hated. I stared at her, amazed at her excitement in the face...

My eyes scanned the whole of the factory grounds, end to end and upwards. “Ah, there you are. I see you now.” My heart immediately felt the strain. Such a beautiful creature, so inviting. I can see in its eyes that it desires me. Coiled loosely around the tower, its tail dangling…swishing...

I was angered by the blaring alarm of the clock radio, which had gone on far too long. I won’t explain why, as my reason is petty and deeply harbored in silly resentment, but the subject was clearly fresh in my mind as I gave in to saving my sanity and stomped loudly up the stairs. ‘You...

This is...or...should be...a short story series. (Although SwingZone was too when I started it.)

Mariana Rodriguez's face showed off every painful wrinkle of her 56 years of rough luck. She'd been stepped on and dumped, suckered and abused, in poverty the entire time, but she'd worked and worked hard, at menial jobs, just struggling to survive. Her futile tries for a better life would most...

Here we go. :)

. - The Cargoman's Tale - A bee crawled in aimless circles around my window glass, deceived by the light it saw as freedom - the light that kept it trapped. I moved slowly, quietly, trying to get it cupped and out the door before my mother saw it. My hands hovered over it, the way I had...

This is what I will call a Historical Fantasy Adventure.

Sounds like Ridley is in for a wild ride. :) And welcome to the forum!

You... You...petty segment of infinity granted the right to measure our existence... You are just an illusion. I see how you bide your time, crawling slowly through the ages, collecting scars as evidence of your passing, while you

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,...

Doubled in size from when I posted it here so it's a much more cohesive story, and polished to a high shine. :) Homebound (Originally published on TB2K as 'Down and Out.') I've gotten pretty good at this e publishing thing now..so if anyone ever wants to do the same and has questions or...

Beneath a line of mercury lights, a black sedan crawled along with the rest of the turnpike traffic, its polished surface reflecting the wet asphalt like some moving urban mirage. Rain dotted and streaked its darkened windows, hiding all but the faintest silhouette of the middle-aged man behind the...

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...

1. Summer was a burning blade rippling through the streets of Manhattan. It made ovens out of the tenements in Harlem and mocked the struggling window units that dotted their brick facades. Perspiration coated the nameless faces that passed beneath the open mesh of Mallorie Ortiz’s fire escape....

He began Chapparal Challenge in November of 2002 (I believe). It is located on page 13 in this section of Member Stories. He said in his last post there that the story was not concluded yet but I do not find where he might have put it. Anyone have any ideas about where to look? It is a dandy...

My recommendation is everyone should read this book. It is really excellent and another view of what the US might descend into one day. My question is: does anyone know Jeff Stanfield? Does he intend to write a sequel to this book? It is excellent and can be a stand alone book but kind of...
