    Prologue

    Us? Give her a starring role? Just did a search on all the files. Those words do not exist in our chapters. As far as haunting, I don't believe on ghosts 😜
  2. "No… No, no! These simply will not work!" Fighting back the growing anger, he resisted the temptation to slam his fist onto the control panel. Wythuf had scoured the universe to no avail. "Nothing," he whispered under his breath. Earth was doomed. Wythuf plopped in the helm's chair. Hopeless and desperate, he questioned his journey. "Was this all for naught? A worthless endeavor? Humanity's flaws are finally coming to reap what our kind sowed all of those millennia ago." "C

    Chapter 58

    Chris and Tucker were a great addition. So much so, I've focused the sequel in their neck of the woods. Not sure when I'll get to it, but I'm already liking what I've done as a start. I'm sure he'll stick ranch dressing on things no man has dared before...

    I saved this one for last. I kept having the giggles as I proofread and edited it. Bowling's fun, even if you don't bowl well.

    I do like big balls... I should've written a scene where Remis from In the Shadows was naked. Missed opportunity.

    You wrote him a present? What about all of your other readers, hmmmm?

    Oh, dear lord. Santa looks like he's about to fork up those elves' lives...

    Chapter 5

    I have no idea what Elf Bowling is, but I went Duckpin bowling with friends in Cincinnati. That was forkin' fun as hell, especially after several drinks.

    That sounds freakin' awesome! Leagues tend to stick together like that.

    Chapter 5

    I'll consistently bowl a 125-ish. Noah's the bowler, and I love going to his league games... particularly for the booze. He'll put up 200-225 pins a game. As long as you have fun, scores do not matter. 💙

    Better put the bumpers up. One of our alleys here hosted a blind bowling night for charity. Yes, you read that right. They raised the bumpers and made guardrails to help guide people to the foul line.

    Chapter 5

    I knew you'd like this one. You should put it in a frame.
  14. "Alright, Stormy. I'm all lubed up!" Storm rolled his finger socket. "Don't get cocky now." His thick Irish accent was vocal in the confined space. "It's only Tuesday. We all know Tuesday's are the worst. When ye think you're good, add 'nother layer." "Man," Roto whined, "I ain't no onion. I don't need no layers. Just one, maybe two, and I'll be slidin' right into that good-good." "Keep talkin' like that, laddie, and you'll wind up kissin' a gutter. Just because you're new 'round

    I was going for "stop sign," but street lights work as well.

    Then you have those devious clocks that work just a hair too fast or slow. They really love messing with us...

    Now, now. The comment races are @kbois's territory.
  19. She controls it all. When people rise, sit, eat, or fall asleep. To hold so much power in the world is intoxicating. All they have to do is look at her. Albeit, she can be changed, but will these silly humans ever get it correct? Generally but never precisely. Her sisters will always say something differently. Seconds are their pennies; they add up. She laughs when the water-sacks are late. She cackles as they arrive early by accident. She howls if they lose track of her essence.

    Chapter 3

    I instantly thought deer-crossing signs as being paranoid whack-job conspiracy theorists with aluminum foil hats!!! "It could happen, but it ain't... BUT IT COULD!"
  23. Thanks, Straycat. I've since pushed on and continued to write longer pieces. Currently working on a few, but I won't post them until they're 100% completed. Until then, I'm posting some short exercises and pieces in the meantime to let everyone know I'm around.
  24. I have no idea how I missed this comment. Thanks, comicality. I've had a long time to reflect, especially after writing some shorter pieces. Criticism comes whether I want it to or not, and I've come to accept that. I needed to learn to soak it in before rushing to hasty conclusions and actions. I ended this series the way I wanted to, and even left it open to return if I so wished. Hope you'll find time to read this little roller coaster series one day. An edit is in the works for the first story... Reminds me I need to sit down and knock that out. 😩
