We all saw it happen in person, on TV, or both. What we didn’t know was what the viewing would do to us. Then, we had no expectation of what it and those exposed would do to the rest of us. It wasn’t pretty, except pretty grim. This story has been on my hard drive for a long time and it’s derived from an old English sci-fi movie that I had seen years ago. It may have been “Day of the Triffids” though my direction is very different. I’m trying to crank it back up. We’ll see. RG
A Clar war Story Even before I was old enough I wanted to fight for my country. When I was, I joined those I felt comfortable with, jungle scouts. I had a talent for moving unseen and they were the best place for me. Our mission went from finding secret camps for smuggling weapons and equipment to plans for a major attack.
A Thank You Note Story This was just another routine patrol through the hinterlands of Iraq. This was the sort of thing that happened when the excitement of the original conquest had faded, and the main point was trying to stay alive until it was time to go home. Sometimes staying alive depends on the quality of the equipment and sometimes it depend on the men using the equipment, but, usually, it depends on both of them working together.
A Jacqueline de Belleville Story Jacqueline recalls her adventures in early 1808 which lead her to cease her life as a ship's boy. Perhaps it's as well as she's 18 years old and only a blind man could fail to notice that she's a woman. In the course of her travels she helps desperate people, and rescues damsels in distress. But it comes at a high price to Jacqueline which even some much needed sexual relief can't recompense.
Birdmen is a text version of a graphic novel. It's my take on a Batman-type heroic group who operate in Detroit during Prohibition--the era of The Purple Gang, Machine Gun Kelly, etc. They fight the mob despite corrupt cops and courts. The have a super car called Black Widow. Join them as they fight to save Detroit from destruction by the Mob.
Join John Carpenter and a couple of friends as they take on a Mafia crime family. This is a revenge story full of violence, pain, blood, and death. The only sex is rape off scene. Some of you won't like the story, but I thought that something should be said in this era of overdone political correctness.
