    Helios Unleashed!

    Yes, not everyone sees a story in the same light and has different takes on what they would have preferred to see. I think even J.K. Rowlings faced such criticism as well. For this anthology, however, I was trying to come up with a more likely scenario of something that could actually threaten the earth. I hope I accomplished that goal.
  4. Kieren’s childhood had been a very lonely one. Even though he had the typical elfin ears, almond-shaped eyes and keen senses those of the race are blessed with, he still stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the light-haired, fair-skinned elves. His coal-black hair, tanned complexion and tall, muscular build, which he inherited from his mother’s side of the family, were automatic indicators that he was at least partially an outsider. It was due to this fact that the other children teased h
  5. Of course, but it's also a good lesson about being careful where you travel, for many reasons.
  6. Man, I wish I could shrink my waistline like that, but only permanently. It's an amazing quality, to help them blend in with their surroundings.

    I need to rant...

    Kitt, there seems to be a elitist movement going on so people can justify making excessive incomes, explains their unconscionable antics or allowing them to dump on others by blaming those in dire straights that it is all their fault. It makes them feel better about themselves and they don't need to show any empathy or concern for anyone else.

    Moving on.

    Billy, your loss here on GA will leave a large hole, whether you realize it now or not. Please hang in there and maybe things will improve. Life is full of highs and lows, just don't go out on one of the low notes. I wish you the best whatever you decide to do.

    Just an update

    Wayne, hang in there. I've been there and heard the over qualified crap too. Even left a bunch of things off my resume after that to compensate, but it didn't help either. I wish you the best and wish I could do more to help.
  10. Where no man has gone before? lol

    Chapter 1

    Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed it, but this was just a short story I wrote for a friend.
  13. A very lucky lad indeed. To have lived through something that terrible and then survived the World War as well to live to be 92 tells of a remarkable and very fortunate life. Regrettably, there are many others whose lives were not that blessed.
  14. Happy Birthday, Ron!
  15. Happy Birthday, my friend! I hope it's a great one.
  16. Happy Birthday, Paul.
  17. Hi, Steve. Thanks for the feedback. Yes, it is different, in that I haven't done a sword and sorcery story on here before, but I hope it's worth the read. I look forward to hearing from you again.
  18. Happy Birthday, Yetti! I hope it's Great One!
  19. I agree with Iarwain. I'd be tempted to leave something behind, if I knew the dog would bring it to me.
  20. Kieren awoke some time during the night and panicked when he realized he wasn’t in familiar surroundings. He sat up in bed and began looking around, since he was uncertain about where he was or how he’d gotten there. He tried desperately to study the room, to see if it looked at all familiar, but was incapable of recollecting the events of the previous day. Therefore, he felt he needed to discover something that might give him a clue as to where he was. Before he could solve this conund
  21. Happy Birthday, Steve!
