  1. This short story reminds me of Shirley Jackson's short story, The Lottery. Well written, it will leave you with much to think about, and what would you do when up against the old adage, " We've always done it this way!

  2. From one of the most talented writers of the genre, comes a fantastic beginning. One that will have you looking forward to the next chapter!
  3. What would you do for love as the world and the places around you conspire against you and chase you across space to stop you...this sci-fi thriller won't disappoint!

    Well, the grumpy geezer in me was about to reach for the insulin, but realized I may need it for the next chapter...😉 Seriously, I hope they aren't fast-forwarding into rekindling their relationship; they have both changed, and I think there is much for the two of them to work out. Let's see how the reconnecting goes...my money is on splendidly well!
  7. My thoughts exactly, claiming it, however, could pose a whole new set of problems...And they'd be getting to reinforcing the outhouse walls!!

    Family matters

    Well between Dad and his Aunt, and recording a podcast, what could possibly go wrong? I just had to look up the color of the glaze on the tarts...

    Chapter 2

    Fuel...a necessary evil...one of my neighbors just paid nearly $1200 for 200 gals of fuel for his oil furnace. My propane last yr was $2900 for the winter... This spring, I'm looking into installing solar sufficient for a 4-person home. Now...how long will the ride last, and does it report its location?

    Chapter 19

    Ya think..... I let out a quiet breath. We were terrible liars. Which, unfortunately... Ben already knew.
  11. This is very much worth the time to read...
  12. As I said before, Julien is not blameless in all of this, and I still believe he is self-centered.

    Chapter 23

    I got the newspaper…..
  14. Like all the other chapters, with each one getting better and better you are spoiling us! That carving has to be of heirloom quality…as to the other device has a quality all its own…. Now there’s work to be done, a trip into town and a look in at Willy James and Runyan’s marriage night!
  15. And the same could be said for Errol Flynn as well. As a young tyke I loved his movies….it was also rumored that parts of him were legendary in size…
  16. Oh dear lord in heaven Julian….what is it like living on the island of self importance where the world revolves around you and others cater to your whims….a tad controlling I think…. The following is truly indicative of what it is like to be the only resident on your island…you think Oliver needs to change, are you willing to meet him halfway? “I am coming back because I want to. Not because you earned it. I want you to understand the difference.” “I understand.” “I don’t think you do. Not yet. But I am coming back anyway

    Oh Kody…a couple of cups of self confidence would work wonders… I really like Nick…he’s a great counter point….

    Chapter 18

    That explains a lot of what happened when I was last in Philly and every twink was determined to take me to their domicile’s….and my winning Powerball ticket mysteriously disappeared…. Do I suspect a brief return to how it was at the beginning of this story?
  19. Well…only one of the words of the week did I know…sheesh… Loved all the great anthology entries that posted this week…gotta get my reviews done ASAP… Here in the center of the universe, Central Massachusetts, we had the first hard frost this morning… My propane supplier called and wanted to know why my tanks were full for the last two deliveries…told her I hadn’t turned the heat on yet… Oh well…last night put paid to that…. Have a great week everyone and read and comment on the fantastic anthology stories!!
  20. Looking forward to reading all the great submissions!

    Chapter 1

    A journey south while being pursued. I suspect trouble and danger on that road. Inquiring minds want to know what kind of weapon was used that came from the sky. If they are going to succeed they will need to understand it and it’s weak points, in order to master or destroy it.

    Prologue

    An interesting beginning a ray of light/hope when all seems lost.
  23. So nice to see CC’s story and how the ranch came to be!
  24. Poor Tom, and hopefully the outhouse holds together… Spring must be near….

    #teamlukekit, why not both? I wonder if the hidden hand of the twins are behind this?
