  1. I won't give that away now, but you will find out. I'm hoping maybe a few readers were surprised that he didn't die after that fall.
  2. And think of the 89 years of happiness this marvelous bear has brought to countless children. Happy Birthday, dear Pooh bear!
  3. Although the dwarfs were still many leagues from the battlefield, Commander Elgin had some important decisions to make and he needed to make them quickly. The sun would be up soon, which meant his troops would be exposed and vulnerable to attack from any of the Dark Lord’s confederates that happened to be nearby, including the condor. In addition to this, there were several other issues the commander needed to take care of before they'd be able to join up with the rest of the Tarolian army. A

  8. Thanks for the feedback, Terry, and I'm glad you're enjoying this story. I'm a history buff, so I drew some of this from ancient battle tactics, so I must admit that this is borrowed in part from others. Things are about to get interesting, with three groups to track: Beraut and the main army, Commander Elgin and Kieren's group. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story.
  9. The two armies stood only a hundred meters apart, nervously anticipating the commencement of hostilities. As they waited, the soldiers shifted their weight uneasily from one leg to the other, anxious for the battle to begin and this torturous lull to cease. At various intervals, each warrior also let his sweaty fighting palm drift across the hilt of his sword, so he could test how easily it could be removed from its scabbard. Instinctively, he would continue to experiment with each of his wea

    Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed that. If you like spooky stories, I have a few other Halloween stories as well. A Halloween Trick or Treat, Dead Reckoning and From Beyond the Grave.
  11. Thank your very much for the feedback and I'm glad you are enjoying the story thus far. As far as any similarities with Global, I'm not familiar with that work, so any similarities are purely a coincidence. As far as the prologue, so were correct in interpreting that I did this to show the utter evil portrayed by the protagonist.
  12. “Do you really think it's safe for us to sleep here?” Garreth wondered aloud. “I imagine spending the night here is safer than anywhere else within these tunnels,” Quintain responded, while eyeing Garreth’s reaction. Even though Quintain's comment should have answered the teen’s question, Garreth wasn't completely satisfied with the dwarf's answer. “How safe can it be to spend the night here?” Garreth added. “Aren’t we in the Dark Lord’s dungeons?” “We’re not in the dung

  17. Happy Birthday, Steve! Hope it's a great one and may you enjoy many, many more!
  18. Commander Elgin was still groggy from being awakened again, but he got up to see what was wrong. The dwarf military leader was beginning to think that being aroused before the night was over was becoming a far too frequent occurrence, as he prepared to listen to the guard advise him about the current situation. “I was on duty when I noticed a significant glow in the east,” the sentry stated, while pointing toward the brightness. “I thought you would want to know about it, since it appear
  19. Happy Birthday, DaddyDK! Hope it's a great one and may you enjoy many, many more!
  20. Congratulation to both of you. I hope you have a great time raising that precious bundle of joy!
  21. It had been a long day, so shortly after he'd finished speaking with the minstrel; Daimon, Beraut gave in to his exhaustion and finally fell asleep. Unfortunately, it wasn't a very restful slumber, because his dreams were plagued by unanswered questions. After learning about some of the incidents Daimon had reported on, it prompted Beraut to wonder what the various occurrences might actually mean. Beraut was also curious if the situations he had heard about had any implications beyond the obv
  22. Happy Birthday, TJ! Hope it's a great one and may you enjoy many, many more!
  23. Thanks for the feedback, Gary. Yes, there can be unstable and evil members of the gay community too, so you must constantly remain on guard. Always be prepared for the unexpected.
  24. Thanks for the feedback, Gary. We not only have to be concerned about the impossible situations we find ourselves in, but also those we might be putting others in. A cornered or wounded animal (or victim) can be the most fierce.

    Thanks for the feedback, Gary. This battle can't be won unless we know what we're up against. We made have made great gains, but now we must fight to keep our hard-fought victories and not slip backward again.
