Our silence was broken only by the entry of the 2nd guard, who announced to us that Kenyon would be remaining in the medical bay till tomorrow morning, to make sure there is no damage to his neck and throat. The guard suggested that we all go to have our breakfast before we miss out, and then afterwards I was to report to the front of the block to be escorted to administration, as I had a visitor due to arrive at 9 am to see me. This news was a bit of a surprise, I had no idea who would wan

Kenyon waited for me to keep going and while he was waiting I suddenly realized that I was talking, I had spoken out loud for the first time since entering the detention center, and I placed my hand over my mouth as I was realizing this, which made Kenyon laugh. “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything about you actually talking out loud for the first time, and I didn’t mind the kiss that you gave me either, as I have a mutual interest in boys and girls, so if you have any questions or want to talk, a

I guess it was my own fault for getting mixed up with the wrong crowd, Jimmy, Toddy, Hog and me, we had been sort of friends since entering year eight in high school, I didn’t smoke tobacco or weed like they did, nor did I drink alcohol, and my school mates seem to accept that, and still let me hang out with them at night on weekends. We often would go to this abandoned old warehouse when we were bored and had nothing better to do, where we could use a baseball bat to hit rocks around the i

Now at the age of 15, I was now being processed to enter a juvenile detention centre for a period of 3 years, for the brutal killing of an elderly man with a baseball bat, the same bat that my mates and I had been using for over a year now in the warehouse, and that’s how they found my prints on the bat.

Hey folks. Just letting you know that my next story - Youth Detained is currently with my editor, and I will be posting the first chapter next week hopefully. It is a very short story, with just 3 chapters. The next story after that, will be - Detained, a story that I had posted a few years back, which has been a favourite of most of my followers, so stay tuned, as that will be arriving in May / June.

The 6 men and 2 women had removed their jackets, and now stood up showing off their Care Flight uniforms, and a round of applause began around the whole hall. Dad stood up again, and waited for the applause to stop, “Mr Shire President and Councillors, I wish to offer to you, the service of the Care Flight Organisation, with two Care Flight aircraft, ready for immediate service, as soon as you can provide some space for their operations” Dad said, and the Care Flight team also sat down, as appla

The café lady’s mouth dropped open, in surprise and shock, obviously because she knew of the name, “Err, I am sorry about being so forward to you earlier Mr Silverton, please accept my apologies” the lady said to me and I just chuckled. “It is alright, you weren’t to know who I am, and since there are no photos of me since I was 14, no one really knows” I replied. “The plane is refuelled and a flight plan to Rawlinna has been lodged, we are ready to go, once you have everything loaded onboar

We suggested that they spend Sunday, flying out to the station, to test both planes, with an overnight stay there, and to fly to the farm on Monday with an overnight stop there, before flying over Esperance in formation, on Tuesday afternoon, before returning to the farm, where they will be accommodated until the facilities and accommodation have been finalised in Esperance. The executives were very happy with this arrangement, and after collecting the flight crews from their motel rooms, we

Thanks Mate. As most Commonwealth countries know, this Wednesday is ANZAC day, so there will be a bit of a delay in posting the next few chapters, as I am involved in the ANZAC commemorations in my area, since this is the 100th year since the end of WW1. Preston

Over the next few weeks, work at Howick Estate had been full on, the old house and the older shed were pulled down and removed, a new high fence had been built from the north boundary to the south boundary, creating a 980-acre western paddock, that is 1.35 km’s wide, along Orleans Bay Road, that will become a hospitality project in the near future. This new 3-metre high fence separates Orleans Bay Road from the rest of the property, with a large gate and padlocks to keep intruders out, the f

After getting myself a cup of tea, I sat down with Dad and Declan in the lounge room, “So what was all of the deep discussions when I arrived back?” I asked, “Well we have some thoughts to put to you, but you are now the majority shareholder, so it is your decision, I am only a part shareholder. Declan has had a commercial pilots licence for some time now, and we have been discussing about buying a plane, so it is easier to travel between stations. I was going to suggest that you hold up se

“We are waiting till it is dark, then we will slip out through the farmers back entrance, onto Gibson road and back onto the highway” Jo explained to me, “Ok, well lets just make sure you are not followed, so don’t come directly back to the farm, dad had a snooze in the back, while I spent a good twenty minutes driving all over the town, we are just sitting at a lookout over the pink lakes at the moment” I said to Joe. “Righto, I will do something the same, we should be back at the farm by 9

“Yes, we have already worked that out so you don’t get left on your own without extra help, I will see you in a few weeks, bye for now” Chris said and he left the conference call, and Dad and I chatted a little more before I said goodnight to him. “Yes, that is right, regarding the dates” Hannah said as she walked into the dining room from the kitchen, “Good, I can hand the boys over to their uncle if they misbehave” I replied. I was pleased that the bunk house was ready for it’s first gues

During our trip away from home, I had decided to accept Chris’s recommendations to purchase the additional three stations, which would add a further 14.5 million acres to the companies holding in station country, bring it to a total of a huge thirty-eight million acres. With over twelve million acres in Murchison Pastoral Investments and over twenty-five million acres in Western Desert Pastoral Company and I had over 55% of the shares for both companies. Now it was time to start taking cont

Chris said to me that he hadn’t told anyone that we were arriving home today, so it was going to be a big surprise, meanwhile at the front of the plane; “Pondana Station, this is ZXG 047 requesting permission to land, over”, the pilot said over the radio, and soon after came the reply from Daniel, “ZXG 047, this is Pondana, what is the purpose of your visit, over”, and the pilot asked me over the PA to come forward to the cabin, and just as I arrived I heard the radio. “I repeat ZXG 047, what is

When Chris was told that the identity of the extortionist was one Mr Jacob Lenswood, believed to be Kyle’s uncle on his mother’s side of the family, Chris was shocked at this news, as he thought that both of the Lenswood’s were still in prison for trying to kidnap Kes, when he was ten years old, as well as the attempted murder and bodily harm that they caused to Bryce. Now knowing who has kidnapped Kes, Chris was very worried about his cousin’s welfare, knowing that Jacob Lenswood can be very vi

After a bit of a tidy up, I had a shower and changed, before making my way down the street to mum and Lionel’s place for dinner. As John let me into the house, Mathew came running down the hallway, and wrapped his arms around my legs, “Hello you two, have you both had a good day?” I asked as I bent down to pick Mathew up. “Not too bad thanks Edward” John replied as he followed me down the hallway, and as I entered the dining room, I was surprised to see James Carter there, chatting to Lionel, wi
