  1. Thanks, Tony. I'm glad you like them.
  2. Thank you for the support, Tony. There are three more stories to come.
  3. Some stories aren't meant to be as scary as horror films, but I'm glad you still enjoyed it.
  4. It was Halloween and I lived alone, so I’d been keeping an eye out for any trick-or-treaters that would rather play tricks than collect treats. I already had about a dozen groups dressed in costumes ring my doorbell and I happily gave them the treats they were hoping for. I also saw several older kids walking up and down the street, and since they weren’t wearing costumes and didn’t appear to be knocking on any doors or ringing any doorbells, I was afraid they were up to no good. At 9:30, o
  5. Brian Hayes just finished greeting the last trick-or-treater to come to his house when he decides to go outside to see if anyone pulled any pranks. At that point, he sees two more trick-or-treaters in the distance, and the next thing he remembers is that he’s waking up on the ground two hours later. After coming to, he struggles to learn what had happened during those missing two hours. (Halloween story)

    Chapter 1

    Danilo, I'm glad you enjoyed this story. These spirits had some issues with how they died, so this was a little different than my other stories. I'm sure you're right about Graham, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to do more than a short story about the paranormal

    City of the Dead

    Thanks, Danilo. I see you're into my Halloween stories, so this week is going to be right up your alley because I have a few more stories to post. You might want to check out The Naked and the Dead next.
  8. Yes, it makes you wonder how Graham in the Castaway series is able to deal with being able to see ghosts.

    Shifting Horrors

    Yes, these stories are all written for the entertainment value. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
  10. I left my parents and the house I grew up in when I left to attend Cornell University in upstate New York so I could major in math. I only returned home for the major holidays, because I also tutored math at a high school in the same community as the college. I didn’t go home over the summer either, because I enrolled in summer classes and supervised a summer program for ‘at risk’ children. The program was supported by the local recreation department and not only offered arts and crafts, ga
  11. Adam Cummings returns home after spending four years away at college, two more years at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and then taking even more time to travel in Europe. At first, he doesn’t run into any of the other students he went to high school with, but when he does, he has some unsettling experiences. (Halloween story)
  12. Yes, the addition of a new baby does seem to lift everyone's spirits - the Curries and the readers.
  13. You never know what professions the boys are going to choose, so you'll have to wait and see. Possibly one of them will turn out to be a chef as well.
  14. Thank you, Danilo, and I'm glad you enjoyed this little tale. I'll be posting another Halloween story each day through Friday, so I hope you enjoy those as well.
  15. Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
  16. Thanks, Tony. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
  17. Yes, Wyatt is finally happy that his baby brother is home. I'm also glad for the people who have paid family leave, but in the states it's not as common. It depends on the company you work for or the contract of the school district you're employed by. It's not universal, but we're working on it.
  18. Thanks, Wesley. I guess I should take stock out in Kleenex and Scott tissues... lol Yes, the boys are all excited about meeting TJ and everyone is excited that he's finally home. It should lead into an interesting holiday season.
  19. This all started in my freshman year in high school when a new student showed up in one of my classes. It was the middle of the first week of school when there was a knock at the door of my biology classroom. When the teacher waved for the person to enter, in walked a handsome boy, the same age as me. He had an unblemished, lightly tanned face, perfectly straight white teeth, milk chocolate colored eyes and hair, and a shy smile. He handed the teacher a note, and while the teacher was reading it
  20. John and Chris met in high school, but it wasn’t until their junior year in college when they undergo a truly terrifying experience. It happened after a trip to Alcatraz just before Halloween, but you’ll have to read the story to find out what happened to them. (Halloween story)
  21. Thanks, Tony. I'm glad you're enjoying this tale and that you consider me in the same breath as those who keep their history alive via oral traditions. Even though the Currie family doesn't exist in real life, they will most likely last as long as the internet continues to survive. It's a very humbling thought. I'm staying safe and doing fairly well, and I hope you and my other fans are doing the same. This is a tough period in the history of the world, and if we're careful and follow the guidelines, most of us will continue to survive. I wish all of you well.
  22. Thanks, Butcher, and I agree with everything you said. TJ will be getting a lot of love and attention, and Josh will be in the middle of it as his fathers, brothers, and cousins get used to returning to school. It will be a truly interesting time.
  23. During breakfast on Tuesday morning, Danny made a comment. “I’m going to stop by to examine TJ after work, if you want to stick around until I get there.” “Yes, we’ll do that,” Dion and I agreed. “Ok, I’ll see you then.” Once again, Dion and I were extremely nervous, yet excited, as we went through the day at school. Would Danny release TJ this time or would we have to wait a little longer? Only time would tell. As soon as the final bell rang, Joshie and Benny met us at the
  24. Thanks, Stix, and Disney put their own special touches on the Grimm brothers' fairy tales. Made them a little gentler for children to relate to, since the brothers Grimm's tales were often quite gory.
  25. Yes, TJ is coming home soon, we found out a little more about Jesse, and the family will soon be starting to plan the Haunted House for this year. I hope you all enjoy it.
