    Chapter 1

    I have always enjoyed the picture challenges, and used to contribute to them more regularly before I developed my dislike for deadlines. I will be trying to do more of them, if I can.
  2. The Merlin descended in a graceful arc, swift as lightning, deftly following the erratic course laid down by the blackbird ahead of it. The blackbird's speedy but broken flight path clearly revealed its desperation, having found itself the target of a hunter even faster and more agile in the air than itself. The small but powerful falcon in pursuit was a master of such aerial antics, matching turn for turn, dive for dive, deftly closing the range while toying with its prey. It was just a matter
  3. A long short story, a bit of a fantasy, on the perils of being TOO good for the one you love. Based upon a picture challenge on another site.

    Dude, it's hell to be 16 in ANY body older than 30!

    I agree that older science fiction is better in many ways. A lot of modern SF is much more cutting edge, and much more technically accurate, than was some older SF. But in many cases with current SF, we have traded the sense of wonder and positive outlook of earlier writers for a certain darkness of character, and the idea that the future may be a damn bleak place. I'll keep the sense of wonder, thanks!

    Wow. Weber is 15 years older than I am! I read On Basilisk Station back in the early 90's!

    I have a thing for old sci-fi tales. My dad reads and collects them, and I absorbed much of his collection as a kid. I actually know 50's sci-fi better than what's out there right now!

    I hope that is a play on Bzup's contented sound, and not an indicator that I put you to sleep!

    I was under the impression that racoons weren't black with white striping.... Never seen a racoon wearing a tuxedo before! 😈
