  1. Oops, my mistake. I didn't watch those series, but my son mentioned them to me frequently. Weren't they more about demons than ghosts?
  2. Colin Thurlow is traveling back from a business conference in Jacksonville, Florida on Halloween when his car starts acting up. He drives to the nearest town, St. Marys, Georgia, in order to get it repaired and learns that he will have to stay overnight. He takes a room in the 102-year-old Riverview Hotel and during the night he begins to realize the hotel is haunted. So, what led him to draw this conclusion?
  3. I'm glad you found the story spooky, although I'm not sure what series you're talking about. Casper the Friendly Ghost, possibly?
  4. I appreciate that, Al.
  5. Thanks, Al. Yes, the main character might have been easier to relate to in this one, because he was in a situation you could also imagine yourself being caught up in. Thanks for the feedback.
  6. Thank you, Al. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
  7. A gay couple, Brendan and Trevor (MacGregor) Kiley, buys an older home and begins to renovate it, but they soon discover they are not alone. What happened that led them to believe this and how is it going to work out?

    Unwanted Perks

    A high school senior, Connor Norwood, gets a job working at a Haunted House so he can earn some money that he can use to buy Christmas presents for his family. It doesn’t turn out exactly as he plans, because a spirit is taking objection to what he’s doing. So, how will this work out?
  9. Thanks. I'm glad to know someone enjoys them. They may not always be scary, but they are spooky.

    Seeking Justice

    A young police detective, Jeremy Krivyanik, is assigned to investigate the murder of a 16 year-old-gay boy, Scott Mahon, a week before Halloween. Will he be able to track down the murder and what will it take to complete his task successfully?
  11. He certainly wasn't treated fairly by Disney, but with their squeaky clean family image, Walt didn't feel he could afford to be associated with a gay actor. Being gay ruined careers back then or greatly limited the types of roles those actors could tryout for. It's nice to see things have changed.

    Kings Dominion

    Thank you. I'm glad you appreciate that fact and I hope you continue to enjoy this story.
  13. It certainly wasn't meant to be degrading or to mock anyone, and I apologize if it was perceived that way.
  14. Tristan Rader and Gavin Munson met as four-year-olds and almost immediately became best friends. However, their time together ended the summer before fifth grade when Gavin’s father got a new job and his family moved away. As the pair grew older, their paths would cross and bring them together in unexpected ways, only to have fate intercede and cause them to lose contact yet again. Will the journey of life win in the end or will fate triumph? Only time will tell. This is my entry for the Fall/Winter 2021 anthology, ‘A Winding Path’
  15. My husband and I started looking for a home this past summer and found several places we liked. Unfortunately, they were all out of our price range unless we were willing to wait until we’d saved up more money. Since we wanted to get our own place as soon as possible, we kept looking until we found a home we liked and could afford. The house we came across was an older home that was solidly built and had good bones, so to speak, and it was located in a semi-rural area just outside of th
  16. “May I borrow the car for a while?” I asked my parents after we finished eating lunch on Saturday afternoon. “Why? Where do you want to go, Connor?” asked my mom. “I’m wanna see if I can get a part-time job somewhere, because I want to have my own money to spend on Christmas this year.” “But it’s not even October yet.” “I know, but if I get a job now it will give me time to save up.” “Do you know of anyplace that’s hiring?” asked my dad. “Yeah, one of the
  17. I’d just woken up on Saturday morning and was getting ready to fix breakfast when my cell phone rang. “Detective Krivyanik, your assistance is required at Tyler Legacy High School to investigate a murder,” the dispatcher advised me. “The officer on the scene will be waiting for you at the far end of the athletic fields, along the tree line.” “Ok, I’ll wash up quickly, get dressed, and head there shortly.” Damn, it’s still a week until Halloween and already the horror show ha
  18. I first met Gavin before our parents enrolled us in kindergarten. It happened one day when I was four years old and my mom decided to take me to the park so I could play on the playground equipment. He was there when we arrived and shyly we said “hi” to one another as we took turns climbing up the ladder on the slide so we could enjoy the exhilarating thrill of going down it. After we did that a few times, he spoke again. “What’s your name?” “Tristan.” “Christian?”
  19. I do believe you've watched The Sound of Music too often. If you don't understand what I mean, check out the lyrics for How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria.
  20. Oops. Mea culpa.
  21. Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter, because I had a blast writing it.
  22. You've got to be younger than me, so you'll do fine.
  23. He was a great character actor who had small roles in many other shows as well, but he is best known for playing the irascible Lou Grant, first on the Mary Tyler Moore show and then in his own spinoff. RIP with the knowledge that you supplied me, and many others, with many hours of entertainment.
  24. Congrats, Krista, but you're not done yet. We're expecting a lot more from you in the future.
  25. Yes, beware of those with great charisma, eg. Hitler, Mussolini, Jim Jones, David Koresh, and any like them... it seems they all come to a bad end
