'I am finally gonna get to come out your way.' Paul smiled as the words appeared on his computer screen, still, even though he liked what he read, he didn't quite believe the words and it would take a moment or two for him to adapt to the statement as being something of fact and not an empty promise or a promise that may not come to be, but this was something which was actually going to happen whether Paul is ready for it...

Baseball Or Blasphemy Wandering souls in the gloom of the dawn, Seeking diamonds, yet they are gone. Cry a warm tear from velvety eyes, Broken hearts and sadness and shadowy lies. Titans tame time, in a rusting can. Giants sorrow, looking out for the man. Searching, seeking, making them mine. Feeble souls alone; parts of Frankenstein. Kiss of the spider, web of deceit, Time in the pit; repeat, repeat, repeat. Titans tame...

Oww... my head... The dull ache in her head did not keep the memories from leaking back into her thoughts. Her eyes snapped open. And immediately shut again, waiting for the nausea to vanish. She was seeing double, the ground was moving. This was not good. How would she be able to defend herself this way? After a few moments of long agony, the motion stopped. Rein propped herself up slowly, using her elbows gingerly, stil...

Chapter 25 Flaming Fear “Ah, our sweet Tensartis! Every time it’s the same, my lord, you keep on forgetting to mention the high percentage of hydrogen in the air! Poor boy! Hurry, the shooting will start again any minute!” Pieris drags me into the hole, with Kallitris helping with a remorseful expression on his face. He sure is lovely even when he is upset! I pass out briefly, knocked out by the winds of Ashtarma, but I c...

GIDEALIS ENIGMA. Chapter 2 To Lose a Friend I do not want to startle the girl by the water, who is weeping quietly, oblivious to the ghost standing over her, and my stealthy approach alike. But the men fix it for me. They break noisily through the brush like a couple of moose, drunk on berries on a hot afternoon. “Domiarn!!!” Yells my father nearly in my ear as he can’t see me in the grasses. “I’m here. I found Akahida.”...

1 Even in this bright and silent sunlight giving me another day to breath and see another dawn, another noon and night, another chance to wonder what will be and question all that comes into my mind and ponder what I’m doing here today, looking at the sky as if up there I’ll find some meaning, some answer, something I can say with any certainty what lies around the bend. And then I think of you so far away wondering too w...

We never hear of her when we read how Noah gathered all God’s creatures— large and small and led them two by two into his Ark before the flood. We hear about his sons and how they worked to help him gather in the beasts and birds, the snakes and bugs and sail beneath dark clouds and blowing rain those forty days and nights until the dove returned with a leaf and soon they found dry land. We know he was a righteous man, bl...

Tonight I cannot see the stars or moon.Clouds have taken from my view all light. I cannot see my hands or feet but know that they exist.This Stone is here against my chest but nothing else is known. I am invisible. All is gone, except my voiceasking who is speaking in this darkness. I had a name—some syllables I answered to.but on this hill I am nothing but a being struggling to exist. Do flowers know their names?Do trees...
