Thanks. Books are important to me, although, since I found this site, I read traditional books less. There are still books here, just in a different form.
3:30 in the mornin', not a soul in sight
The city's lookin' like a ghost town on a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield, there's a storm movin' in
He's headin' back from somewhere that he never should have been
And the thunder rolls
Thunder rolls
And the lightnin' strikes

We decided to set up just outside Tony's room because it was closest to the middle of the overhang and there'd hopefully be less crosswind. We were just inside th
I open the door, and I'm immediately transported out of my depression. I look around at all the familiar sights. I can close my eyes and see it all whether I'm here or not. With my eyes closed, I smell the aroma of recently eaten snacks. I turn left, fresh popcorn assaults my olfactory system. To the right, the strawberry Twizzlers I ate last week. The faint aroma of oatmeal raisin cookies is present. I stop to count things in my mind's eye. Six of one thing. Two of another. And then two of yet
It appears our heroes will need a supernatural solution. Did they bring their Genie's bottle? I never go anywhere without mine. Oh, wait. That's my American Express card. Never mind.
Thanks for the excellent. I chose Corpus based on my initial research for cities with only 25,000 people. Kingsville is a suburb of Corpus Christi. It being on the coast was a convenient coincidence and actually helped me determine what Peter's skill would be. FYI, referring to the city as Corpus is apparently how the locals do it, so I jumped on that bandwagon.
No, I haven't had to deal with a severe hurricane. I'm pretty far inland, about an hour north of Atlanta. Heavy rains and moderately high winds are all I've seen so far.
Well, this is fiction, and science fiction at that, taking place thirty years in the future.
Clamoring is right. But will he leave, will he stay? Who knows? Oh, wait. I do. And @Sherye Story Reader, my Beta Reader.
Of course.
You don't really want me to use my imagination, do you? Your friend may retroactively be arrested for use of excessive sarcasm. A similar thing happened to me. My older daughter was probably eight or ten. The local station came to the town park asking kids and their parents what they thought about Sesame Street dropping Cookie Monster. Unfortunately, it did air our segment. What a dork I was.
Awesome. I'll have to take a look at that one when I finish the rest of the parts. I wouldn't want Robin's MC's psionic ideas to sway my character's abilities.
I sure can make them twisted. These might have been my nastiest antagonists. Although I think Uncle Marco from 'Don't Blame the Band' is right there in the world of nastiness.
No worries. And I just checked, there are actually 5 stories on the site that are longer than all of mine put together. Three are over a million words. That's a minimum 4,000-page book if it were published on paper.
