Foreword, Chapter 1-2
For those curious, I am still alive. For those really curious, I retired from my prestigious job as an administrative assistant in the sale of manufactured homes and modular housing and have now embarked on my new career of unemployment. God bless Social Security and the 401(k). I think I make more now than I did before!
Make sure you read the foreword to my latest story. As I mentioned, I liked the premise behind a story called The Atlantis Crystal by Robber Baron. No idea why it is 'Incomplete and Inactive' but since all his stories are listed that way, I have two choices. Choice One (probable) he lost the muse for writing. As I mentioned in my foreword, it happens, and I have a bunch of stories like that on my hard drive. Choice Two (horrible!) he was eaten by a great white shark while scuba diving off an exploding volcano during an attack by murderous terrorists in the middle of an invasion of genocidal Martians! Let's all hope it was Choice One!
I took his story, expanded it, changed the names, got rid of some extraneous characters and subplots, and took it to places I don't think Robber Baron expected. Because the basics of the story are already published, I am putting up the story two chapters at a time until Chapter 10, after which it will be my standard chapter at a time, Tuesdays and Fridays.
FYI - I recommend a show on television called Sex Sent Me To The ER on TLC. It is absolutely hilarious! Despite the low-end production values, C-rate acting, and white-trash stories it is filled with ridiculous tales of people getting injured or sick while having inappropriate or adventurous sex and ending up in the emergency room. My wife and I were watching it the other night and a story came on that reminded both of us of my two heart attacks. Yes, sex actually did send me to the ER - twice! We both couldn't stop laughing!
Enjoy!
