OH NO!!! He's at it again!!! They say that poets who read their own works in public usually have other bad habits as well. Well, I'm giving writing another shot. Now, I'm a hunt and peck typist. Which means this story (which at this point remains untitled) is a work in progress. Please bare with...

I'm a newbie here, but a long time prepper and a beginning writer. This is the first novel length thing I wrote, and it shows of course, in the defects it has. I've done 3 more since this one that improved some. It is about 220,000 words, so be patient about me getting it all posted. But...

A small story that I've been working on: Little story I'm working on. Monkey See

. - 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...

The story thread already being so big I'd like to keep from cluttering it up but I'm in somewhat of a quandary about a particular phase of the story. For you folks that have been reading it maybe you'd share some thoughts with me and I'll craft something out of them or maybe they'll give me an...

Chapter 1. Damn it was cold. Jake shivered as he huddled under the fallen Aspen on the side of the mountain.

(Author's note: After having read the EOTWAWKI classics of "Alas Babylon" and "One Second After", I thought that I would take a whack at the genre. My story would be more from a woman's focus and would carry along a deliberate Christian/Catholic angle. I started this a week ago. Now, for the...

Alan..a bit off topic but I was digging thru some stuff I'd saved to HDD from the old EZboard TB incarnation and found 26 chapters of Forever After you'd written in the Purple Prose section in early 2001. The PP section's long gone from EZ BTW. Was there more? Did you stash a copy somewhere?

A new doomer story, I hope you enjoy! It’s funny how things can change so fast, how event’s half the world away that seem so inconsequential one day, can come to mean so much to you now. Events happen, and the world seems to turn, changing everything in a fortnight. John stared out...
