It won't be easy to read and comment from my phone but I shall begin reading tonight!

“Why does Aunt Karen have to have the damn family get together all the way out in the middle of nowhere? I mean aren’t the Prosperos worth a damn hotel dining room?” It was the sixth time he had asked me that question in last half hour. “Bud, if I knew don’t you think I would have told you by now. You know you could have driven yourself or stayed home!” “Don’t get all pissy, Sis. I mean you know as well as I do that every time one of these family events happen everyone seems to have a run of

Joanne had just finished reading the old science fiction story for school. Now she sat silently waiting for the clock to strike five before standing and moving as quietly as possible to her bedroom door. Dinner would be served to the family shortly and she was afraid to get there too early or even worse too late. She moved quickly down the hallway and then looked at the wooden staircase and shuttered. Click, click, click. The sound of her shoes on the wooden steps were hurried, but like the clo

Thank you Bill. Yes, nothing is as bad as being only in love with yourself. You miss so much else that is happening and the chances to make your life better. Your kind review is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the kind words KC. Your suggestions as you can see were taken to heart and made this story so much better for it. I don't know if I would have survived living at that time but I do so enjoy being a story teller.

Thank you for the comment Asamvav. Meeke was an addition toward the end of my tale, but you are the first to express a desire for more of him. I might try to expand this sort of story next time. Glad you enjoyed it.

See what happens when you are all drugged up! You have weird alien dreams. Great little tale.

Life, no matter how much you might want it, can not be managed. Things sneak up and happen. Dad has his capsulscopy next Wednesday. It is making him crazy and guess who the target is? I have no internet until I can afford mifi. It might take a week or so but I will be back. In the meantime I am getting things done as I can. My greatest thanks to KC for picking up the slack I had to leave with with one of my authors by filling in and doing the beta reading. My thanks know no bounds. Also a great big thank you to KC for his work on my Anthology. That extends to Sharon who offered to edit for me. Unfortunately I couldn't do much with it once I lost the internet. A copy had been sent to Renee who did another beta and to Cia by her for an edit. My thanks to all of these wonderful people. Wayne PS - to those whose addresses I have expect post cards, lots of them. I'm bored since I don't have an internet to play on but I'm also writing jonas and the special anthology. Oh well.

Happy Birthday, whether you decide to celebrate or not.

And it will come to pass that son shall be born to the royal family One who can unite all the kingdoms and shine above all others Who shall have a special friend who will betray him Yet the one who should be his enemy shall save him and they will become stronger Though a betrayal of his heart should doom him, instead it shall free them all Till that time comes he shall be frozen in amber by his former friend’s magic And he will be freed by mistake by his enemy turned lover. -Macia I kno

When your whole life is ruled by a phrophecy things get messy. When you are a prince and your kingdom is in turmoil all you can do is what is fortold.

Joann - That was perhaps the sweetest thing I've heard in a while. I know you made her day and the smile on the kids' faces had to make you feel better. Sometimes it is the littlest things you can do that will make someone else feel wonderful. Glad to know there are people like you still around.

If you are lucky I have maybe three drinks a year. I am not a beer drinker. Drinks of choice are usually mixed drinks. Fuzzy Navel - Peach Schnapps, vodka, and orange juice Mimosa - Orange juice and champange Rum and Coke Mudslide - Kahlua, Chocolate syrup around the inside of the glass, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, Bailey's Irish Cream, and vodka I prefer blush wines or fruit wines used for dessert wines such a peaches.

Well you took that prompt and ran with it. Yes that is so much darker than the original was. First there is the pain of losing your partner. A pain that has to hurt so much, but to have it compounded by knowing that because you got him back, you lost him and then one of your children. That has to rip your heart and soul apart. Good story though Cyn. Dark as hell though.

Naturally you had to go with a spider and one of giant proportions. Ron Weasley is so not a fan of you right now. Great story but scary as hell.

I've always been of the opinion that no matter how bad things are for me, someone else has it worse. I get up and I go. I prefer to put a smile on my face because all a frown will do is force people away. I know things aren't perfect, that things won't magically get better, but I know they can get much worse if I don't try. So each day I get up, face the world, and try my best to do my part. Life is the one thing no one gets out of alive. The only things I can do is try not to cause others intentional pain, help where I can, keep in touch with those I care about, and try not hide when I am in pain. For what good is it to hide my pain from those who love me, when they might be able to ease it? This thread, and this site as whole allows me a chance to share parts of myself. I might not show or tell all, but for those who want to get to know it is possible. You can't get through life without being hurt. I've build walls that kept most people out for a long time. I learned to tear holes in them. I won't say I took them down, but I have learned that most difficult lesson, a life worth living involves the risk of getting hurt. So while I guard my heart I don't lock it away, but I'm careful who I let have access to it. Dark times will come, pressures will build, and there are times I just want to hide in my bed, pull the covers over my head and stay there, but if I do I not only lose so do the ones who count on me. That is what motivates me when nothing else will. I know I am not alone. So hang in there ladies and gentleman. The ride might be hard but make the most of it. For without love and friendship you aren't living your life, you are hiding from it.

Sneaky little bugger aren't you. I did enjoy the way you used the prompt. Never knew what it was going to be the first time for though. Enjoyable little piece but you are still sneaky.

Joe glad to hear you are hanging in there. Don't know what to say about the chaos swirling around that might re-enter your life. Just remember to keep time for yourself so you have an outlet. James - Je... kidding. They say our life is littered with bad mistakes which help us see what we want if we survive. Well it sounds like you survived. The hardest thing we all have to do is live. If nothing else you have people you can turn to. I will say I don't envy you living in the deep south. The heat would kill me and from what you wrote some of the small minded people down there might finish me off. To everyone else just keep facing the day. We all have our dark times where we want to give up, but fight for the light.

Revised from the beta read I see. I liked how you did this so far. Can't wait to see where you take them next. Poor Joey hanging over the edge.

The change of character was unexpected. I got the feeling this wasn't originally how you planned it. Amanda is damned any way you look it at, but still not sure if I see it as punishment enough. She was directly responsible for two if not three deaths, and nearly killing Gibby. Gibby got Scott? I would have hoped he found someone who could accept him from the start. Scott would have had to work extremely hard. In many ways I was expecting Gibby to find love after he left there, but as long as the character is happy. I will agree with others that I feel sorry for Shelby. Not because she has hunted after the killer of her brother or any of that. I wonder if she ever knew what had happened when he died and spent time with Gibby and even watched over her. Did she ever have the chance to reconcile that part of his afterlife with her image of him. It is nice to know she stayed close to Gibby though. She became a nurse like her mother and that is a testament to her parents and her desire to help others. I did hope there would be something about Johnathan finding love again. The poor man had been through so much you sort of hoped he would find a chance at life and love again. He was still young enough that Gibby could have had siblings. Anyway enough of my comments and rants. Nice job on your story KC and can't wait for you next one.

So Carol was forgiven for her attempt at killing Gibby, and Johnathan got to see the demons fighting for his son. Amanda was a crazy one from the start but her death was deserved. I'm sorry to see Gibby had to suffer again and nearly die. So now he lost his ghost boyfriend. I guess you can say he is a virgin cause he has never been with someone flesh and blood. So you have an epilogue? I hope it lives up to what you have done so far KC.

Okay, I waited till I knew there was no way I could read this before anyone else. You are a sneaky man but I know that from your other stories. You always have a curve ball to throw it is just a matter of when and how it is coming. Poor Gib.

That was down right frightening. Bugs. Eww. Not among my favorite choice of things to get around and that was just wrong. Still nice job.

Gentlemen, haven't you realized what I do with the plot bunnies I don't have time to hunt down and work with? Can you say over a hundred prompts and counting? lol. Now even I will work on one now and then. But then again one of my plot bunnies snared Andy and got him to write a whole new story. They can be bad that way. Forgive me I have a Fall Anthology to finish, Seeon to rewrite, Jonas to finish, the Winter Anthology partially done, and oh yeah the new End of the World Anthology to figure out. So don't come crying to me about work!! Oh and I have a few new prompts to create.

Alright, so it has been a while since I posted anything and I figure I owe explanations to people so forgive me if I have been late doing it. First up is my father. Since coming out of the hospital we have been going to doctor after doctor. He has a surgeon now for the aneurisms. The doctor, who is a specialist in dealing with them informed us that Dad won't be going for surgery on on them until sometime in the new year. Okay, so that major issue is off the table for the moment, but doesn't solve the problems. He has had cameras down both ends of his body but now they want to do something called a capsulology. I might be spelling that wrong but basically it is a camera the size of a large capsul that you swallow. The main reason being, they still haven't found where he was bleeding from and they fear it might be the small intestine. No camera will fit there but this. However it is also very expensive and it might take up to a month or more for the insurance company to agree to pay for it. Nothing is ever as you might wish it to be. In the meantime he is going for bi weekly blood checks and all. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Second is the job. Well they decided to combine my department with another at work. It might have been a good idea if they had trained us all but they didn't. So in the last three weeks I have lost six people in a department of nine. They haven't hired a person and the other department still isn't trained on my job either. Can you say disaster? Finally there is my writing. Well can't say I have totally abandoned that, but not getting where I want either. Jonas is fighting me, which is funny when you consider the original flowed out in one sitting. Then I am working on the fall anthology which right now has topped thirteen pages with no signs of an ending for the story yet either. Then I have been working on the rewrite of Seeon so I can get that back up but who knew it would end up have so many new chapters and parts. I just hope everyone likes the alterations. Oh and I don't know if it matters but sleep happens rarely but thank goodness I got some to kill the migraine I had. You know you are in trouble when light and even the sound of a breeze hurts. It took a "five hour nap" but now down to a dull ache instead. Hope everyone else is good. Wayne
