    By Valkyrie

    It's heeeeerrrrrrreeeee.... We've been anticipating these stories all year, and now it's time to release the Kraken!  Uh... anthology stories.  With two themes this year - Horizons and Unspoken- we had several authors take up the challenge and write stories for both themes.   So, without further ado, enjoy this week's anthology stories!  Don't forget to react, comment, and leave a review! The anthology will post over several weeks, so if your story is not listed here, fear not!

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

No words

Okay, I haven't written much more than nothing. I'm beat and I haven't done anything, not that I can do anything. I'm sleeping too much, then taking a nap because I'm too tired to do anything else.   Strange thing is, I don't feel particularly depressed, although being super lethargic and not giving a flip about anything is a classic symptom. Maybe it's just that I'm getting settled here, after all it has been nearly two months since I've been grounded. Or, maybe, just maybe, it's the three do

Luc's Dementia

Sam's book report

Sam has struggled with writing for years. At first it was the physical aspect of writing. He had fine motor delays--mostly because he is ambidextrous, which means he didn't develop a strong right or left preference, which didn't give him the normal strength and control he would have had if he had been definitely right or left handed.   Sam also has ADHD. I know, EVERYONE seems to have that these days, but in his case it is legitimate. I know this because the medication he is on has made a

Busted chapter 26

[i'm not sure if this bit's too revealing. I'm tempted to cut it, actually]   Saturday morning Chris woke up to the sounds of his third alarm. He'd had to dig his spare alarm clock out of the closet the past week. Chris had been having a hell of a time waking up ever since the divorce was final. Two or three days a week for the past month, he'd wake up feeling like he hadn't slept.   When his dreams had just been dreams it was bad enough, but now they were full-blown hallucinations. Or fanta

sorry about the heart attack...

So, Happy Valentine's Day everyone!   I should apologize for the coronary upset I caused a few of you yesterday, especially Davey... See a while back we had this... incident... where he thought if he didn't tell me something then I wouldn't have to worry unnecesarilly and I yelled at him So as you can imagine, when something rather scary and possibly dangerous occurs, you want to tell the people you love and let them know you are okay and even maybe... ask for a hug or two million...   An

Read my blog

For my readers

I wanted to do something different this time. I know it's been a good minute since I've updated, so I decided to do this here.....   I want to thank all of my readers, especially the ones who've followed Bodega Bay from the beginning to these last chapters. I just posted chapter twenty nine, and there's only one chapter left to go. I'm about half way through it, so it shouldn't be too long until it's done.   Bodega Bay was sorta like My Jump Off, in the respect that it was supposed to be an

Chronicles of My Life

A roommate?

So this isn't what I wanted to write about. I've been wanting to write a blog entry about an article I read recently in Entertainment Weekly, but this is something I have to decide sooner (well the other one isn't a decision at all ) so I'm doing this one instead.   Anyway, here's the situation. I have to move out of my apartment in May because they're tearing it down to rebuild luxury high-rise condominiums. They've pretty much already done that with all the other houses and buildings in

Joe's Blog

It's been a while

I haven't written a blog entry in I don't know how long so I think it's time. My life has been rather boring lately. I wake up at 5:30am, at work at 6, come home, eat, and repeat the process the next day. I do have some fun things planned though.   Feb. 24th - Party with some friends. We'll probably have a movie night because I have my projector in the living room giving us a huge screen, but we may just have some fun (all legal, I swear!).   March 12th - I think school starts either March 1

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

So close, and yet, so far away

I'm currently at 17 pages (5,300 words) on The Pastel Cowboy, which is okay, but I need at least another 6 pages, or about 1,000 words. It's going quite well, but not well enough as far as I'm concerned. It's been a real slog getting to this point and I didn't get as far as I wanted along the story's timeline. In fact, barely two weeks have gone by when I originally wanted to go nearly three months. I don't like writing in the micro, but events in Zach's life at this point are occurring rather s

any thoughts?

What's this life anyway? What's it to you and me, what's it to anyone, and who are we supposed to be? Make me a storybook, and write me away from here, I need it different now. Where we can wear each other for a while, and I'll lend you my tears if I could borrow your smile, and we'll get through tomorrow some other day, happy after, once upon these days.   - Chantal Kreviazuk, These Days   Okay so today is almost over for this year...   I was chatting to Davey the other day and we ende

I still don't believe it

the best thing in the world happened to me yesterday(friday night)   I though Myspace was just another place to delete spam till last night. She found me!!! My wife(long term seperated) contacted me on Myspace. some people would say that is a bad thing, but you gotta get the rest of the picture. I haven't been able to contact Her or my son in a long time, about 11 years. Well needless to say, all the thoughts of being rejected came flooding into my head causing me to go totally nuts.

Busted chapter 18 and a half

[As I'm getting into this I'm realizing I need more work on the B storyline, which'd be the whole death thing. There should be a chapter before this one where Stephanie's family is found, and some of the boring really needs to get removed from this. So we're going back in time a little. Whee! This 'wednesday' is the day before Joe is in on the interview with Stephanie]   Wednesday morning Chris Gagnon was sitting at his desk digging through the medical examiner's preliminary report on the O'Ma

Random Thoughts of an Alpha Female

Poor Oscar

On any given day of the week, I have absolutely no idea what the balance is in my checkbook. Moreover, for someone as ridiculously practical and logical as I am this is a damned odd phenomenon. Most of my working career has involved financial stuff (notice the technical term) so I gladly handed the personal stuff (another technical reference) over to my husband years ago. I only get involved when he screws the balance up, which happens at least twice a year. Then he calls in the big gun (that wo

it's tomorrow again...

It comes every year, like clockwork, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. It doesn't mean I want to have to remember, but I do. I do remember, and... sometimes it's inescapable and sometimes, it's theraputic and I'm more thankful that I still do, and I remind myself I never want to forget it, decide to learn from it somehow, if I can... but still, it's tomorrow. Hopefully I can make it through without too much... wallowing? But who knows, I guess we'll see right?   Wrote a little more on

Flight to Syracuse, Chapter 2

I finished Chapter 2 of Flight to Syracuse and got it posted to eFiction this morning. The boys are on their way, but have a slight detour to get away from one of David's brothers.   I was thinking about the old TV series, Route 66, the other day and how Flight to Syracuse might end up being something along those lines. Well, when you consider half of the cast of Route 66 was gay, even though that did not come out (silly pun) in the storyline, it might work with my story. Well, my boys don't h

Busted chapter 23

[i bet you thought I'd forgotten about poor Alex! I think I need some connecting material with Chris and Steve, though]   Friday afternoon Joe was still digging through the pile of evaluations on his desk. It was slow going, slower than normal. He'd been playing the events of the past week over in his mind. Everything was just so strange.   A week ago he was happy and things were simple. Maybe they weren't picture perfect, but he had a quiet life he liked and a boyfriend he loved, and that w
