August came along right when it was supposed to. School was going to be starting up for the fall semester in about a month so the girls were all getting excited about getting to see old friends and making new friends. Kim was going to be a sophomore in high school and would be trying out for the varsity cheerleading squad. Cathy was proudly entering high school as a freshman and was also going to try for the varsity cheerleading squad. Brittany would be attending middle school while Vicky was to be in grade school. The three levels of schools, while in separate buildings, were all on the same campus so all of the girls could ride to school on the same bus.
After our vacation George packed up his belongings and moved in with Chris. I took them out to a furniture store so they could pick out a nice king-sized bed for their room. Cathy was thrilled that her aunt was in love, plus Vicky and Brittany were happy that they would soon have a new dad.
I called a meeting so Grace and I could coordinate with Chris and George about wedding plans. We tossed around several ideas and decided on a double wedding. That left two things to decide: when and where. We all agreed on a Saturday wedding, but, which one? After much discussion we came up with the last Saturday in August as the date. Where to hold the ceremony was a bit more difficult. Since none of the four of us were members of any particular church I made the suggestion that since we had plenty of room here at Camelot, why not hold the wedding and reception here. We all thought that was a splendid idea so we got the ball rolling.
Grace came up with a brainstorm idea to have the wedding be a medieval theme. I loved the idea as did everyone else. It stood to reason that since our house was virtually a castle, what better theme could there be? Everybody started envisioning who they would dress as. Chris and George came up with Lord and Lady Costumes. I quietly listened as they all fantasized what they would look like. I already had my mind made up and, after whispering with Grace, finally announced that Grace and I would be dressed as: (you guessed it, ) Guinevere and King Arthur.
As we were all discussing the possibilities, the gate bell rang. UPS was delivering several packages. I buzzed him in and he pulled up to the drawbridge and started to unload a virtual mountain of boxes. I signed the driver's pad and we started hauling the boxes into the house. It turned out that there were nine boxes all labeled with a person's name. I read the labels and found Grace, Arthur, Kimberly, Chris, George, Victoria, Brittany and Catherine. I was totally mystified as to where they had come from and who had sent them. The return address was a big store in Wales. The shipping agent was listed as someone named Merlin.
I looked at Grace and she looked at me as we both said "No, it can't be."
The box with my name on it was quite heavy and Grace had to help me move it. I opened the box and inside I found a suit of chainmail armor, a very ornate sword, velvet garments, riding boots and last of all, a gem-encrusted golden crown. I couldn't believe what I saw. It was identical to the garb I wore while we were in Camelot of England.
Grace opened her box and, sure enough, it contained the royal trappings of a queen, complete with a golden crown. What really blew my mind was that we had decided on the medieval wedding theme only minutes before. In the back Grace and my minds were the lingering questions: "Did Merlin have something to do with all this?" Just how far into the future did his influence reach? How much of my life had he already affected? Did he make me name my estate, Camelot?
Grace and I were walking around kind of in a daze and on unsteady legs. The coincidences were just stacking up too high and hard to fathom. Kim came downstairs asking what all the commotion was about. I handed her the box addressed to her. She opened the box and was shocked. Inside were the clothes of a royal page identical to what she had worn on our adventure in Camelot.
I opened the box addressed to simply Camelot. Inside I found a banner identical to the one carried by Lancelot with the royal crest and proclaiming "Arthur, King of England." There was also a large hand-painted tapestry of Arthur and Guinevere on horseback. I looked closely and my heart started to beat a mile a minute. The faces were an exact likeness of Grace and me. That was getting downright scary. I began to wonder what other surprises laid in store for us.
I had an old friend of mine who went to seminary school and became an ordained minister. I called him to see if he would like to officiate at the ceremony. His answer kind of surprised me. He mentioned that he had been thinking about me and wondered if I had gotten married yet. He, of course, told me that he would be happy to do it.
He also mentioned that a mysterious package had been delivered to his house that day from a store in England. It contained the costume of a medieval clergyman. He found it hard to believe when I told him our wedding was to be a medieval theme. He jokingly asked if we expected him to arrive on horseback.
Well, it turned out that there were even more surprises in store for us. When I went out to get the mail there was a bundle of cards addressed to Grace. When I looked at them I found that they were RSVP cards saying that the senders would be attending the wedding. When I got back to the house I told Grace, "You better sit down for this dear," as I handed her the cards. She sat on the couch and started going through the cards. Her eyes got as big as saucers and her mouth hung open, unable to believe what she was looking at.
Grace remarked to me that the cards were from all the people she had been thinking about inviting plus a few. All the ones I had been thinking of were also included. Grace grabbed my hand and dragged me up to the master suite and closed the door. "Art, what in hell is going on here?"
"I have no earthly idea."
"Who could have arranged all this so suddenly?"
I sat on the bed thinking. "You don't suppose... ? Do you?"
"Who?"
"Merlin?"
"Oh, my God. It must be. But how did he do it? And why?"
"I don't have the foggiest, but, there are some questions best left unasked."
As Grace was thumbing through the cards she came across one that shocked her even more. It was from the governor of the state saying that he would be attending. In his words: "Wouldn't miss it for the world."
That night we went to bed and went through our nighttime routine on autopilot. We were still stunned into numbness. We were jolted out of our trance-like state by Kim announcing that she was going to join us in bed for the night. I was getting ready to object when Grace told her to come on in. We three talked for a while discussing the events of the day. Kim asked me if I thought maybe Merlin had something to do with what had been happening. I told her I had no idea but wouldn't be a bit surprised if it were so.
We climbed into bed and limited our activities to goodnight kisses and some snuggling. We drifted slowly off to sleep. As I slept I had a dream that I was back in England at Camelot. I asked Merlin if he had anything to do with my wedding plans. He told me that he would neither confirm nor deny his involvement. He just said that my actions in Camelot would have far-reaching consequences for hundreds of years to come into the future. Then everything went dark and I slept a deep and restful sleep.
I awoke the next morning in my most favorite position. Warmed from both sides by the two girls I loved the most in the whole wide world. Kim and Grace were snuggled up to me caressing my body softly up and down as far as they could reach. I wiggled my arms out from between us and started returning the favor. I was rewarded by some soft moans from both sides of me. All I had to do was turn my head to either side and there was a ray of sunshine there ready for a good-morning kiss. I gave them both warm passionate kisses which were returned in kind. Being the instigator she is, Kim directed her caresses southward towards a swelling situation that deserved some manual attention.
The next morning I was assaulted by kisses from both sides. Grace and Kim were making sure that I awoke in a good mood and they were completely successful in their endeavors. Waking with a lover is great but with two is sublime. With my recuperative powers, I was able to make love to them both. I made it my task to make sure that nobody left my bed feeling slighted or unsatisfied, that is, unless they were kicked out by their mom. That morning was no exception and we could have continued for...

Out of her window, she could see down into the courtyard of her prison, the tall stone spire that had confined her for close to five years now. Far below, the cobblestones were streaked with scorch marks, long black lines of soot that crisscrossed the ground and spread up the walls. She felt tears welling in her eyes.

It was a night like any other winter night in the City of Brockton. The snow was falling gently, the wind was light almost non-existent as two vigilantes keep a silent watch together over their fair city. Brockton used to be a nice city, it was once the ‘Shoe Capitol of the World’. The City of Champions, as its downtrodden citizens called it. Brockton was the birthplace of boxing champions Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler. It seemed to everyone living in the towns adjacent to Brockton that...
For those who have been waiting on this chapter, I apologize for the length of time it took to publish. It took a long time to figure story out and with setbacks from my computer crash and subsequent loss, this chapter has been written and rewritten a ton. I hope it is enjoyable and look to continue this story. The sun glinted off Ser Alec’s armor as he exerted himself in battle. A continuous fight that plagued him every few seconds while he climbed a path etched into the side of...

HumorKnight and Dey 4: What Kind of Friend? By Ron Dow75 Vice Principal Weatherwax and Mr. Knight were out talking by the man-sized hole in the high fence the separated the front yard from everything else around the blue Four Square style house. Behind them was a red-and-blue striped tent that covered most of the back yard, right up to the hillside. In a light so dim it would be darkness to others, a teen with shoulder-length dark hair, stood in bare feet on a trapeze...
HumorWe had a few stops along the way but arrived home none the less for wear. We unloaded the Winnie and got all our stuff inside. Everyone seemed glad to see us home. I noticed that the twins, Allison and Amelia, were especially glad to see at least me. I was very happy to see them too. Over the year that they had been living with us I had grown to love them. They have personalities that you could not help but to fall in love with. Both girls seemed to be shadowing me almost every day. The looks...
I was enjoying a peaceful afternoon lounging by the pool contemplating the many mysteries of the universe. I had my eyes closed and I was almost ready to nod off for a mid morning nap. Heavy duty thinking has a distinct effect on my brain causing me to slowly shut down my senses and rest. Suddenly my reverie was rudely interrupted by a throng of female bodies thundering past me intent upon emptying the pool with a monster sized tidal wave. The big splash was followed by the almost deafening...
After our quite enjoyable shower we got dried off and dressed ready to face the day. We came down to the kitchen intent on fixing some breakfast. Now, my housekeeper Alice seemed to exhibit a seventh sense since she could anticipate when I would be hungry. She would have prepared just the right repast to slake my appetite without my even having to ask. That morning was no exception as we were met with a table set for three complete with platters of pancakes, sausage, bacon, juice and coffee....
Time slipped by as we all fell into somewhat of a routine existence. Chris and her girls (then three) were enjoying their new home. They don't object to the luxury lifestyle but Chris, in the back of her mind, would like to live in a home of her own. Grace and Kim feel like they are really at home and are looking forward fondly to marrying me. Kim, it seems, was not the only one with a crush on me. Cathy was showing all the signs of an infatuation. I didn't do anything to discourage her...
The four girls were doing quite well in school and I even got to help the older girls with their homework. Kim and Cathy bragged to their photography teacher so much about my work that they volunteered me to visit the class to show them some pictures I took and show them my techniques for getting the perfect shot. I related well to the students and found it refreshing the way they had a thirst for knowledge. I had anticipated a room full of disinterested kids just taking up space but I found...
It was a normal day at Camelot; just like any other day. There was nothing special going on and everybody was scurrying around doing their things. I was relaxing out on the deck with my morning cup of coffee and the newspaper. The sliding glass door opened and closed and soon I sensed a presence beside me. I looked up and there stood Allison looking like something was troubling her. I invited her to have a seat on my lap to chat. "Allison, you look troubled this morning. What's going...
We left the park and headed west on I-10. Our destination on this leg was San Antonio. That was the location of the school we built right after the one in Sarasota. Headed up by a very nice couple I recruited while on a trip there to oversee some of the construction. Located on River Road in the city of Boerne, Texas gave access to the river for some aquatic activities. Being a non-profit organization it could have waterfront access without the high taxes involved. It was about mid morning...
During the first week Melissa and Bobby McIntosh were staying with us, I would hear Melissa wake up in the middle of the night screaming, "No, Uncle John! Please don't hurt me. I'll do what you say." Just as soon as that would happen, Bobby would make a mad dash to his sister's room and hold her to comfort her. He was a truly loving brother to his little sister. After a few times that happened, Grace and I suggested to Bobby that he sleep with his sister so maybe she would feel...
I had been instrumental in rescuing many troubled and abused girls in modern times. Many of those girls, I took into my home to guide them into returning to a life of being just normal kids and to become self-sufficient members of society. After a while my home was bulging at the seams and I decided that something needed to be done. It was then that Grace and I came up with the idea of constructing a boarding school for troubled and abused girls, which I lovingly call my TAG School (Troubled...
At nine the next morning, Detective Springer came to Camelot to talk with me about a case he had been assigned. It turned out that there were an inordinate number of missing girls and young women in the area. In each and every instance the girls disappeared without a single trace. Advertisements had produced a flurry of leads but Detective Springer's team had checked out every one and came up totally empty. There were no leads which did not end up in a dead end. They tried everything they...
The next morning we were up early and sat down to a delicious breakfast. Alice told me that she really enjoyed her day off. I whispered, "Was Fitzroy good to you?" She blushed and replied, "Better than good." I smiled and so did she. Grace suggested that we take a ride around the estate since she had not yet seen it all. Kim and I were all for it so after breakfast we saddled up and headed out to explore. Kim was getting the hang of controlling her horse so we had a leisurely ride. As...
Leaving the greater Sarasota area we got on Interstate 75 to head north. We wanted to make it to New Orleans but according to Google Maps we would arrive late in the evening. As an alternative we decided to spend the night in Marianna, Florida. We had no pressing schedule so we could take the easy choices. The next day it would take five hours more to get to New Orleans so we could make it just after noon giving us plenty of time to tour the city. We left I-75 and got on I-10 to finally head...
With the mysteries of the wedding explained but not understood, we all resumed as normal an existence as we could. Hardly a day went by that there was not some form of the unexpected popping up to keep us all on our toes. I was in my den deeply involved in sorting and editing the pictures on my computer, trying to organize the thousands of images into some semblance of order. As I was reviewing the organization of my files I came across a folder I did not remember putting on my computer. It...
The next day it was just like déjà vu all over again. Kim walked into the kitchen dressed in her jeans and cotton shirt with a big smile on her face that lit up the room just like daylight. I heard the front door open and close as Grace came in similarly dressed. "Art, I don't know what you did with my little girl but when she got home last night she was talking non-stop about your great adventure. She was excited and going off a mile a minute so I decided to come see what was so...
With our trip through the cave behind us things calmed down around Camelot. With no unusual surprises or disasters in the making, I found I had some spare time to pursue my hobby: photography. Kim and Cathy's photography teacher expressing her appreciation for the albums the girls had brought to Show and Tell, got my interest re-invigorated so I got busy in my studio setting up for some special pictures I wanted to shoot. With the cooler weather of fall upon us I decided to do most of my...
With a new baby in our house and the twins moving in, the population in Camelot was building back up. It was so nice to have the delightful sounds of youth busily buzzing around filling the house with life. The twins were enjoying the summer with swimming, exploring and horseback riding keeping them busy every second. I decided to get to know the twins a little better so I had them come to my den one at a time to chat with me. "Allison, could I talk with you in my den please?" "Sure,...
After Kim left I made my way to the kitchen where Alice anticipated my needs and had prepared a sumptuous lunch for me. I invited her to join me since I had something to talk with her about. She set another place at the table and sat down to eat. "Mister Sherwood, what did you want to talk with me about?" "Alice, first of all I wish you would just call me Art. You people may be paid servants but I consider you like family." "Okay Mist— oops ... Art. What's on your mind?" "Alice, I...
When we entered the house we were met by Chris, her girls and George all looking like they had just moved the world. George asked, "Art, we have all the stuff on the truck. Where do you think we should unload it?" "What do you mean? You've had it on the truck for three days?" "I don't know what you're talking about. We only loaded it up this morning." "What did you do for three days?" "Now you have me confused. You saw us leave this morning didn't you?" "That was three...
I can’t believe I am actually escaping this nightmare. Firstly I’ll start off with an explanation of why I want to escape my marriage. I fell in love when I was 19. Jeff was 26. I was so in love with him I wouldn’t listen to warnings about him from anyone, not even my own parents. He treated me like a princess, until we were married and then everything changed. When we had been married for about 3 months, he made me quit my job at the library. After 4 months I couldn’t go out with my friends...
The next day I had a visit from Grace. "Art, I've got something I need to ask of you." "Anything you want is yours just for the asking. You should know that." "As you are well aware I was almost raped and I need someone who cares to make love to me." "Say no more." I then kissed her, picked her up and carried her up to my master bedroom. I set her down and embraced her like a long lost lover returning home after an extended absence. We were both breathing hard as we undressed each...
Well, just as I expected, the next morning arrived right on schedule and with it a delightful little 14-year-old girl. She came in just as I was putting on the last of my rough and tumble clothes. I noticed that she was dressed, as I suggested, in jeans and a cotton long-sleeve shirt. As a matter of fact we were almost identical except she was shorter and had some interesting bulges and curves in her shirt. We sat down to breakfast and chatted while I filled her in on what I had planned for...
When we got there and were unloading our gear I realized that we had not eaten our lunch yet so we three headed to the kitchen to refuel our tired bodies. After we sat down, I found it a little difficult to eat my sandwich since there was Kim sitting on my lap. With all the stress we had experienced, Grace decided to not say anything to Kim and let her stay on my lap. I, of course, would never object in a million years. Eating lunch with two of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen, with...
When we had pulled in the night before, I noticed there was a car rental company right across the road from the campground. Not wanting to drive the motor home into the capital with the heavy traffic and lack of parking, I went over and rented a small SUV for our trip into the thick of things. I drove it back to our campsite where we loaded up my photo gear and we were off to the big city. Grace had not been to the capital in many years and Kim had never been there so that was going to be an...
When you are a teenager looking forward to your birthday, two weeks is an eternity. When you are planning someone else's birthday, two weeks is but a moment. Time has a habit of speeding up when you have a lot to do. That was the case for Grace and me. We had some extensive plans to make in a hurry. I guess the hardest part was not letting Kim discover what was going on. We intended to make her day a big surprise. Our first task was to get Kim to make up her guest list. I told her that she...
The next morning, sure enough, I was awakened by the bed shaking and a warm moist feeling around my morning wood. I opened my eyes and what should I see but Kim riding me cowgirl style for all she was worth. She must have been on a hair trigger because as I reached up and caressed her lovely breasts she went off like fireworks. She collapsed on me and almost smothered me with one of her super hot kisses. Kim hopped off me and Grace immediately took her place to ride me like a bucking bronco....
Grace, Kim and I overslept the next morning. It was nearly nine before we made it out of bed. Okay, so we awoke at eight but who jumps out of bed when they first wake up? I mean, you have to slowly adjust to the day and some mattress stress-testing does the job quite admirably. When we arrived down in the kitchen Chris and her girls had just finished breakfast and Alice was setting down our morning meal. Eggs, toast, bacon and OJ is my favorite and starts the day off just right. Grace...
Summer was drawing to a close so we decided to go on a vacation. With our Winnebago Journey we could go anywhere we wanted. We tossed around several destinations and ended up deciding to tour some of the country instead of a single destination. Since it would be a household vacation, everybody had an input on the points of interest we would visit. I wanted to see Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, Grace wanted to see Colonial Williamsburg, Kim wanted to go to Disneyland in Orlando, and Chris...
Chris, George, Cathy, Vicky, Brittany, Grace, Kim and I went down to the county courthouse to process adoption papers for the two older girls. My attorney, Bruce Sutherland, met us there with all the paperwork filled out. It was a simple procedure since it involved a natural parent and step-parent situation in both cases. We appeared before the judge in family court and everything went smoothly and, for the first time in my life, I then had a daughter. It would be interesting to see if and...
Fall had fallen, and the colors on the trees were magnificent. Kim, Cathy and I took advantage of every chance we got to ride around Camelot shooting pictures of the fall foliage. Okay, I admit: the trees weren't the only things I took pictures of. Even dressed in jeans and tee-shirts, they were a study in beauty. The bright yellow maple leaves even got jealous when the sun lit up the girls' hair; making it glow like pure gold. I made sure to capture every angle I could. Every once in a...
Grace woke me up about two in the morning. "Art, it's time." Sleepily I asked, "Time for what?" "Get up, my water just broke." Still not awake I mumbled, "What water? Did you wet the bed?" "Wake up Art; we're having a baby... Now!" I jumped out of bed and made a dash for the front door. When I got there I realized I had forgotten some things. I hadn't gotten dressed. I also had left Grace upstairs. I then ran back upstairs and in a panic, grabbed Grace's suitcase, and...
Everything was going along smoothly at Camelot while trouble was brewing in another part of the county. There were some unusual things happening at the local Department of Social Services (DSS) office that did not bode well for the innocent victims of the trouble. There was an unscrupulous case worker that was taking advantage of his official position to satisfy his carnal desires. He was the embodiment of the popular definition of a pedophile meaning that he liked to have sexual relations...
It took about four months, but the five new girls were able to finally feel comfortable and safe in our family. Sure, they weren't my daughters but I treated them with the love and respect as if they were. One thing that impressed them was the ability to make decisions for themselves and not be forced into things they did not want. In the back of my mind I was toying around with the idea of adoption, but I didn't mention it to any of them. A couple of them, Melissa (14) and Dora (15) were...
Dora's crush (or as she calls it, love) for me lasted a few months until she started coming to me less and less. When I talked with her she explained that she was falling for Bobby McIntosh who is her same age. She says that he shares many of her interests and they get along quite well. I did notice that whenever the girls and he were in the pool or any other activity that Dora seemed to hang around him. When the girls would gang up on him she would come to his defense. I also noticed that...
With all the activity concerning the new school it would seem that I would be too busy to devote my time to the girls who needed attention in a positive way. I had to periodically drop back and take a look at the big picture. It was a balancing act but I felt the girls were more important than the school, which by the way, actually was capable of running itself. I had hired the best staff I could find of people who were not only good at their jobs but were dedicated to helping the students....
This day we had no schedule so we took our time. With everyone up fed and changed we left the campground and headed north. We entered New Mexico and were driving up through the middle of the White Sands Missile Test Range. The signs along the way were kind of scary warning us to stay on the road due to un-exploded ordinance in the desert on each side of the road. We drove for several miles through some of the most desolate country I had ever seen. I was reminded of Marty Robins' song El...
After returning from our working vacation I started to think long and hard about whether I could be away from home for extended times to visit the schools on a somewhat regular basis. I came to one conclusion right away. Two weeks was too long to be gone on a regular basis, and would only get worse since I had decided to open more schools across the country. I had several inquiries from people who wanted me to build in their area. Prior to this time I had to decline their ideas since I felt I...
As we were cruising north I got on the sat-phone and called the San Antonio school and found out that the DA needed me in court to testify about the case concerning Melissa Madison. They needed my testimony about how I came to be looking for Melissa and then how I came to confront the maintenance man. I had given the detectives all that information but they needed direct testimony from me under oath in court. The maintenance man was being tried for a host of charges including rape,...

In Atlantic City, New Jersey, Robert Cramer, his wife Judy and their twin daughters, Jennifer and Elizabeth, (both 14), were enjoying their time riding rides and walking along the boardwalk taking advantage of all that attraction had to offer. The twins were very pretty girls with blonde hair and bright blue eyes. They both were...
Things at Camelot had finally settled down to what we had come to expect as normal. Kim and Dora's photo studio became a resounding success. They both have met their life mates and have moved out of Camelot to start their own lives. I still got visits from both of them from time to time as they enjoy sleepovers. I have continued my quest to rescue damsels in distress. In the process I had built seven more schools scattered across the country. Just as I finished one of the schools, the FBI...

The the wind howled around the quayside as I stepped onto terra firma for the first time in weeks, the wind threw sharp shards of ice to sting our faces as we looked up at the sails as they were finally furled and stowed as our captain grinned at our discomfiture, "Au revoir!" he joked as if he knew we should soon be recalled. Those such as were left, and we were few enough, I shuddered. My best uniform packed securely in my Valise, awaited me, and just a few more duties before I...
Based on a true story... Foreword: Twin brides. This is an innocent title of an amazing story. What does it mean? It can mean a lot of things. It can mean that there are two sisters who decide to get married on the same day. The question is: who are they marrying? Two happy grooms? Or -- gasp! -- each other? It seems that weddings can elicit the strangest reactions: the groom faints, the bride laughs as if she were mad, the guests sweat like there is no tomorrow, the bride slips...
