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...

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...

The Carpenter Papers, Volume 1: The Approaching Storm Forward A Forward by Walter Stone Hines, Professor of History, History Department Chair, The New Yadkin College, Yadkin College, North Carolina In a world still recovering from the effects of the Second Dark Age, you may wonder how...

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...

introduction of sorts... :shr: This is a project that I have been working on for over a year now. I have had a long battle with it. It started out to be destined for here at member stories or another free that hosts a more explicit type of content, as I didn’t really know about the rules at...

Kin Chapter One

I was a member here a few years back (different handle) and posted some of this story. I stepped away for some time to deal with some life issues. During that time I reworked the story so wanted to share the updated story. Hope that you like it. It Begins… The morning was clear, chilly but...

I am an avid reader of TB PAW stories! I found them after the squirrel dropped theirs. TB has many excellent writers and I have read many of them including Kathy in FL. 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...

Context to the story... For many people the S--- long ago Hit the Fan. The borders of North America are not now as they used to be. Land was seized. Red men and white forced off their land in favour of those with more political pull. The men, who ruled well in one decade, were given 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...

Another short one that's been rattling around for a few months. Hope you enjoy. As always feedback is greatly appreciated. Jack punched angrily at the radio station buttons in his truck. He wondered for a moment why he bothered to be angry, he had performed the exact same frustrated...

Very interesting start! At least I hope it's a start. :D In case this thread gets separated from the actual story, here's the link to The Swing: http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=86

Attn. TBers, and especially Mods. No doubt some of you have seen this posted on a site that can not be mentioned. THIS IS NOT A CUT AND PASTE ITEM. I am the author of this story. I have already spoken with Dennis on this matter. He has assured me that since I am the author, all rights to the story...

The Tunnel Chapter 1 of The Tunnel (V2.0)

Here is the first chapter of a book that has been rolling around in my head for quite some time. I won't be posting chapters everyday, more like once a week or sometimes twice a week. Constructive critisim is always welcome.. Mountaineer Sunset Chapter One Sitting straight up in bed,...

Friends... I kinda hate to do this--having two versions of the same story up at one time... This is my thoroughly reworked version of the first chapter of "Chi". I had an Epiphany about my writing recently. I am in constant battle with my natural tendency to include huge amounts of...

To be clear the following is not a new story. It is in fact a part of a thread that SqrlGrl started on the EZBoard incarnation of TB2K back in February of 2001 titled <i>An Exercise in Preparedness</i> which dealt with nuclear warfare survival. That thread ran concurrently with Taz's (she went by...

Some of you will remember part of this from fs. Maybe with you all poking at me I'll get it finished. My Beloved My Dearest Beloved, I write this not knowing when I will be able to mail it to you. No doubt mail there has stopped just as everything here has. I was at the jobsite when...

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

<b>October 21, 2003 Into the Arms of Morpheus</b> The boy put down the phone then turned to the man sitting in the reclining chair watching television to say “Dad, Pete and I want to go to the mall. Can I go?” Larry Nichols looked away from the glowing screen to contemplate his son,...

Chapter One Steve looked back over the past few months in his mind, while he continued to stay in his hiding spot, praying silently that he wouldn't be found. If he could only stay out of sight for a couple of hours, his chances of escaping would be greatly improved as night fell. He let his...

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...

This is the Beginning of a Science Fiction story that looks as though it may be Horror for awhile, but comes back to Straight SF. Probably won't post anymore until it's done..... Should I decide to continue..... Does it grab y'all? Bright

I haven't quite finished this one, but my health is a problem and I wanted to get what I have posted. Hope you like what I have here. NOT QUITE EDEN CHAPTER 1 The Hunt The juniper thicket was dense. At least it would stop the wind. It would have to do, Clay decided. ...

Ascension FMJ ©2018 (1) He had been cautioned by the hospital doctors that a possible side effect of a flash-burn injury was a reduction in the physical range of motion but the treatment and follow-up rehabilitation would have doubled his recuperation time. After fifteen days in the...

E&E Chapter One I didn’t have any love for any of the Laws who guarded the Prison. I was locked away without just cause and they were the ones who stood between me and Freedom.

I thought I was through with this. I guess The Lord has different ideas. As usual if anyone has comments please start a seperate thread. Overthrown, The Death of America ...

This is my most recent story. I worked more on character development and tried to improve with less use of exposition. It's about 120,000 words, IIRC. Hope you can see some improvement. Again, the characters are dealing with the economic challenges I think could come upon us at any time. ...

Ok I started with reading the current one of her stories and then I found a nother one out ouf order and did not know she had a whole series of eight books so far. So I ask her about starting this thread to put links to all eight of them in one thread so others can start at the begging if they...

That is the question. If anyone would like me to put Running for Free Texas on here I will do so in Private as usual. Yay or Nay?

Fire From the Sky, the first book in my new PAW series, went on sale yesterday. I have had numerous requests that I get 'back' to PAW somewhere along the line, and so I have. This was a project I worked on for about two years off and on, making no telling how many changes along the way. Unlike...

This is the second tale I wrote. It covers the quite different experiences of several families through an economic debacle and societal breakdown. I have been trying to learn a different aspect of what makes a good tale with each one. There are a lot of things to learn--style, plot,...

How did it happen? Russell didn't understand. It made no sense. America was the most powerful nation on earth, once. It was the virtual bread basket of the world. It was the great bastion of freedom and opportunity for all people. At least it was. It wasn't any of those things now. So what...
