    Grad School

    Thanks for the feedback, Wolflady. A power like this would come with temptations, but only time will tell if they are able to resist them. Hang in there and you'll eventually find out.

    Grad School

    Adam and Mike packed up their belongings the day after the New Year's holiday and set out for their campuses in Adam's car. Mike’s program actually started first, in a week, but Adam had until the end of the month before his classes got underway. For that reason, he decided to stay with Mike until then, so he could help him settle in first, before leaving for Baltimore. Mike was glad that being a graduate student had some advantages. It meant he had a single room and no roommate, so he woul

    Happy Holidays

    Before Adam and Mike began soliciting donations, they drove down to the homeless shelter first, so they could discuss their idea with the person in charge. The shelter was located in a former school building and the school's main office now served as the reception area. After entering the building, Adam and Mike made their way to the office and talked to the woman working there. They explained why they'd come and asked if they could speak with her boss. She made a quick phone call and told h

  8. Happy Birthday, James! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  9. Happy Birthday, Emi! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  10. Don't we all, Stephen. It would be neat to be able to steer people in the direction you want them to go. Thanks for the feedback.
  11. Thanks for the feedback, DragonFire. I'm glad you're enjoying the story so far. As far as Adam's ethical and moral choices, I had a long chat with my beta about this. In the end it was decided that with Adam wanting to be a doctor and Mike wanting to be a lawyer they would walk the straight and narrow. Hopefully, that's not an oxymoron. Besides, you're correct in thinking that life could become boring if you got everything you wanted.
  12. Happy Birthday, Mann! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more. May your muse and creative gods be kind to you.
  13. Mike and Adam spent a great deal of their free time planning how Adam could best utilize his new ability and they only placed one restriction on it. They agreed Adam wouldn’t do anything with it until he had fully recovered. Since Adam had a doctor’s appointment coming up in another week, they decided to wait and see how that went first, before they made any other decisions. Within days after Adam arrived home, George and Rita realized they had a problem. They both needed their cars to get
  14. Happy Birthday, Renee! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more. Camping, huh? I hope you don't run into any wild animals or get bitten by a snake or ticks!

    Getting Proof

    After traveling for another couple of hours, George decided he had driven long enough for one day and pulled off the highway at the next exit. Immediately, he began looking for a place where they could spend the night and before long located a decent looking motel. He pulled in and rented two rooms. He would share one with his wife, while the other was for the two boys to share. He made sure the boys had a room with two beds, since he wanted to be certain they didn't do anything that might a
  17. Happy Birthday, Dabeagle! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
  18. Thanks for the feedback, Terry, and I'm glad you're enjoying this. This new ability can lead Adam in different directions, so we'll see how he uses it. We'll also discover if he has any long term problems with his motor skills.
  19. Thanks for the feedback, Stephen. It would be an interesting ability to have, but how many of us would abuse it? We'll have to wait and see how Adam uses it.
  20. When George, Rita and Mike arrived at the hospital room the following morning, Adam was in a very chipper mood. "Hey, welcome back," he exclaimed, as he flashed them a huge grin. After walking over and giving him a kiss, his mother noticed the tray sitting on the stand. "Have you already eaten?" she asked, with a mild look of surprise registering on her face. "Yeah, I just finished a few minutes ago," Adam chirped. "This time they gave me scrambled eggs, a bowl of oatmeal, a bagel and a
  21. Arazon, thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed this.
  22. Happy Fourth of July to all my GA friends.
  23. I was a huge soda drinker, but I switched to coffee about 20 years ago and haven't had hardly any soda since. I use only artificial sweeteners in my coffee.
  24. The article brought back some interesting memories for me. I come from an extremely large family and had one aunt and one uncle who remained single their entire lives. At the time people often referred to single woman as 'old maids' and single men by numerous terms, such as 'confirmed bachelor', the 'funny uncle', or the 'self imposed priest'. In most cases these terms had a cloaked meaning, such as they were homosexuals. I think that was what the survey meant when it said these people were possibly 'immoral'.
  25. Happy Birthday, Alex! I hope it's a great one and I wish you many, many more.
