Earth s CoreChapter 6 Zax Zel

The sound of the bell urged the students to get into their classrooms. It was about to be eight o'clock and tens of first graders, second graders and third graders sat in their places. It did not matter if you were the youngest five years old who just enrolled or the oldest nine years old that no one dared to mess with. All children knew that if one risked getting to class after the homeroom teacher, the whole class will be punished. Zax Zel lived in cave number twenty-five, a fairly big...

Bird SongChapter 2 The opium trail

James MacLaren hunched forward over the keyboard and screen of the computer in his bedroom. The bedroom door was locked to avoid any unwanted intrusions and there was a good reason for that. James was doing something he shouldn't be and he knew he would be in big trouble with the other members of his family if he was found out. He had recently turned fifteen and was what might be called a geek if he lived in the US. Here on his father's farm on the very western outskirts of Glasgow, he was...

Earth s CoreChapter 18 Chaoyue Zhihui Shenghuo

Zax swept his hand and the little blood from his last kill was erased. 'In the end I've gotten sloppy... ' His tone possessed a hint of criticism. His business here was over and he left back to his Master's place. Rarahel was safeguarding the cave's entrance the same way she did when he left for the Savage Caves. As she saw him her poised countenance turned to shocked. In a few months the atmosphere of the boy underwent multiply changes of growth. Rarahel was not oblivious to what was...

Earth s CoreChapter 9 Two Questions One Decision

Don waved her hand, repealing the bits of blood and dusty remnants of her former teacher from the sleeve of her neat suit. "Allow me to explain", seeing the petrified expression on Binjo's face and the restrained expression on Dureil's face, Don calmly said. "It came to my attention that a longtime teacher of my school has been takings bribes from students and their families to alter students' records in his class. He was also selling sensitive information about our cultivation...

Earth s CoreChapter 17 What Is Right What Is Wrong

"A third realm expert?!" Zax exclaimed. "Girl ... Susuya, you are just an Earth's Core Holder, how can you so casually call someone a third realm expert? Are you even aware what a being in the third realm signifies? Please tell me that you simply heard the term 'Realm' from someone and trying to play a prank on me!" Zax refuted her statement the instant her words sunk to his mind. That she is his granddaughter and that superintendent Ten is a third level Core Master Zax could accept....

Earth s CoreChapter 18 A Few Hours

"Now, now, now, now", it was Don who reacted to Zax's apology. She got up from her tall backrest chair and proceeded to stand beside Zetsa. "If you understand, than it is good enough to settle this issue here". With one hand one Zax's shoulder and the other on Zetsa's, Don was slightly taller than the two and gave the impression of a mother placating her children. "Zetsa?" Don asked for her response. "I said ... all I had to say". The tears stopped falling and Zetsa wiped the two...

Earth s CoreChapter 2 Fifty Three Regrets

Zetsa's dark gold aura began to emit wild contrasting temperatures, like oil and water, cold and heat that exchanged places unceasingly. Though she made progress in the past three years and advanced to the Advanced phase of the Mist Lord level, Zetsa was still stuck in the Radical Fiery Icy Provocation Qi refining technique's last phase of the third stage. However, by taking a step farther from the first two phases of the third stage and reaching the state of merging the characteristic of...

PurcellChapter 5 New Lives

{date:2020-08-10a} Marjorie Purcell took the two weeks between the last of picking season and the Christmas week straightening out evening-school students who kept coming on the wrong nights – or who came on the wrong night for the first time long after school resumed. She did notice that the good-looking, light-skinned one, Ab, came on the nights he’d been told before the picking break. He attended most nights he should, too. Only some slavery had ended, she noted wryly. There were a great...

Earth s CoreChapter 11 The Origin Of The Hatred Part One

Eight days have gone by in a blink of an eye for Zax. After breaking through the Mist Lord level with his soul, with Laivien urging him, he continued to look for more bottlenecks of insight within the pieces of spiritual knowledge. In those eight days, Zax did not form large combinations, only kept working on small ones of three to five pieces. After such combination was done, Zax inspected it, hoping to find more specks of light. As luck would have it, eight days were either not enough, or...

Earth s CoreChapter 20 Have To Make Things Straight

Going back to when Anet brought her friends to the Advanced grade building ... Moments before the commission by Livai's friends started, the beautiful receptionist of the Advanced grade building, who welcomed the two groups, was in the midst of imparting the rules of the Summit to Zax, Serah and Zushi. Now that the "fight" with Livai was finished, there were still a few things for Zax, Serah and Zushi to hear, and due to them leaving in the middle of the first explanation, the...

The First Realm Lee Ki Jung s storyChapter 3 Cultivation and More

Ki Jung uses her all her senses to avoid animals larger than a squirrel. She does not limit it to predators. Even large herbivores must be considered dangerous. A stampede of bison, water buffalo, or such would crush her without a thought. As night approaches, Ki Jung strings her hammock up between two sturdy trees, and then hangs her bag from a branch to make it inaccessible from the ground. The hammock will be better than sleeping on the ground, but she straps the Tanto to her forearm for...

Earth s CoreChapter 37 Decisive Decision

The first realm line of defense could only rely on their defensive formation to block the enemy's force, much like the cluster of first level Core Masters, Hagen and her group dealt with. The only one with high spirit on the battlefield was none other than Ilen-Tar. The leader of the Furless Rat tribe, in his skinny, old and fragile human form, was confident in his ability to preserve through the war due to three things, his high cultivation level, the fact, which he believed, that the...

ExpeditionChapter 23 Win a Few Lose a Few

Remember when Two Voices told the Cheese that the only thing worse than 55 menstruating women would be 55 pregnant? She was right! Every viable female body over the age of 18 is knocked up, and they're not happy. Oh, they're happy to be pregnant, they're just not happy with the roosters strutting. Jo, who is 3 months farther along than the rest of the Preggers-gang, called a town meeting. "I foresee a problem. Pretty quick it's going to matter who is "daddy", unless we make a major...

The First Realm Lee Ki Jung s storyChapter 18 Dinner and Discussions

Ki Jung has had plenty of experience dealing with people who underestimated her, which has led to her seemingly becoming a cold hard bitch when it came to such people. Bullies in school, individuals at martial arts competitions and exhibitions, the list goes on. Master Chen is just the latest in their numbers, and she already understands the fact that with such people, “Might Makes Right,” and “The Strong Thrive; The Weak Die,” are their watch phrases. One cannot act weak with them. This is...

Earth s CoreChapter 10 Azure Snakes White Rings

"What?! These three are matched in the three way battle?!" "Did I hear wrong? Right from the second round they are going to create such a ferocious fight?!" "But selection of participants is random. The judges won't cheat. This just must be these three's bad luck..." Remark after remark of disbelief resounded after Talhera summoned Silvia, Zax and Woren to the first fighting stage. "Zax", Don turned to him solemnly. "Don't be complacent like in the first round. Although Silvia...

The First Realm Lee Ki Jung s storyChapter 25 Limits

Ki Jung finds the tea house without trouble. She enjoys herself more than she expected she would. Ki Jung meets several people around her own age range, learns to play Majong, enjoys some tea, and engages in some interesting discussions. The evening at the tea house is the first of many. The weekly trips to the tea house raised her spirits. It feels good to interact with others her own age. She even allows herself to be led to a semi-secluded area where she engaged in some good old fashioned...

Earth s CoreChapter 12 Venting

"Zax, this Hamer from Molten Core should be as strong, or stronger, than Silvia and Woren. I'm not worried about your chances in beating him, but do stay vigilant if you insist on not use your full strength". Don asked. Hamer was forty four years old yet appeared as a blue haired, blue eyes young man in his late teens or early twenties, as a result of his cultivation level and his overall investment on the way he looked. In his previous fights, Hamer won with little difficulty. The...

Earth s CoreChapter 13 A Slight Change

From the force of impact, Hamer's defensive armor of mist energy crumbled and cracking sounds echoed. The east wall of the hall, on the other hand, was unblemished. A thin, glowing green layer of a mantle has been raised between Hamer and the wall to protect it, but the instant the force of the impact dissipated, the mantle vanished into air, while Hamer fell unconscious to the floor. To say that Hamer was "unlucky" is a statement that its true essence could only be understood by, maybe,...

The First Realm Lee Ki Jung s storyChapter 36 Marshall City and Gathering Herbs

Ki Jung keeps in touch with her three top students regularly, via the long-distance communications devices she provided each of them. In this way, she can keep up with how they are progressing and to find out about Auntie Pak, while telling them about her experiences. It isn’t the same as being there with them, but it is enough. After two years, she grew close to them. As she is traveling between Chang Li and Marshall cities, Ki Jung often thinks of them. She is considering asking one of...

Earth s CoreChapter 28 Resolution Heart And Mind

Settling for now the topic of compensation, Colonel Rijok unfolded his arms and looked to Cattelin. “Apprehend the criminal”. At last, being given the permission to act as she so much desired, thrilled and gratified, Cattelin strengthened the grip on the shaft of her scythe with one hand and with the other saluted. “Thank you, Colonel Rijok!” An ebullient fiery aura emerged around her like volcanic eruption. WHOOSH! Receiving a slight push from Colonel Rijok’s mantle, Cattelin dashed...

Gifted Book 1 SilenceChapter 13 Dinner

Ty headed to the apartment. He fumed the whole way there. He entered the apartment and went and knocked on Willow door, “Willow the King has requested your presence, I’m to take you back.” Willow yelled at him, “Piss-off.” Ty sighed and tried the door. To his surprise, she hadn’t locked it, so he went in. She was lying face down on her bed. He rolled her back onto his arm, slid the other under her legs and picked her up. She struggled, “Put me down,” she ground out. She was very upset and...

Earth s CoreChapter 32 For The Road Ahead

It seemed as if the sky turned black, but in fact it was his dark domain becoming visible, encompassing a radius of three kilometers. Zax uttered a groan while smiling. In his Dark Titan Storm, he felt both stranger to his body like he was in some coarse and heavy battle suit, and exceptionally strong. Moving his arms and legs and even nudging his head was taxing, but utilizing the dark attribute domain to float and soar was as easy as just imagining the feat. As she built up the green,...

Bio terrorism AftermathChapter 4

Carla was in and out of the office all morning, both guiding the installation and helping Maria, the young woman working the Avenger sensor package. That afternoon, they worked with Chaquanda, a young black woman. They taught her to control the sensor package while Brenda worked with one of our pilots-in-training, showing her how to fly the Avenger. By late afternoon, they landed the Avenger and then they crashed on the bunks they had brought into the office on the other side of mine from...

FaithfulChapter 2 Some New Passengers

"Oh Meg, not stays, surely." "And why not? I always do at home?" "But who in the world's going to see us here?" asked Anne Conroy, with a broad gesture she had seen and admired in the garish limelights of a London stage. "We're exiles, dear sister, cast adrift, abandoned." She bowed her head dramatically, a hand to her breast and then steadied herself against the gentle roll of the ship. "You might not care," replied her older sister, ignoring the theatrics, lacing herself up,...

Earth s CoreChapter 25 Bone And Muscle Transformation

“Little freak, are you awake?” Gid Chu sat on a boulder inside the small crater Zax’s crash created. After exchanging pointers, he felt more liberated with the junior and comfortably shed the excessively cordial, elder demeanor. He was not feeling like much of a worthy elder anyway with their strength not that far apart. “Yes”. Zax replied and got into a sitting position. “All lasting damage healed after less than ten minutes, while my chest still throbs with bursts of pain”. Gid Chu said...

Earth s CoreChapter 17 Unexpected Message

“Who the hell cares about the grunt that made a fool of your church?!” Horn Kikon retorted. “How many members of the chain did we identify over the years and where it got us? Other they die in battle, hide or, in case of capture, the chain relocate and everything torture out of them is useless.” “Kikon”, Archbishop Silternjan persistently said. “True, it has never been beneficial to possess the identities of the chain’s member, expect for making it easier to kill them, but this time around,...

Earth s CoreChapter 22 Assembling

Zechariah, Linor, Rockwell, Riv, Giant Havreim, Varinka, Xiao Kirin, Gadgel. Of the twelve Gid Chu sent, he made sure all those members of the chain Zax got along with, even a little bit, and had no misgivings toward him, were present. Bonjier, Kloky, Soybam Peter and Lili were the remaining four, while Figed Esgad and Donkey – apparently a fixed nickname – were the members stationed in Selivereb and New Earth. In terms of cultivation, Bonjier and Kloky were the strongest, third level...

Future PerfectChapter 5

When I awoke, Teel was asleep on her back and snoring softly. Her chest regularly rose and fell, the nipples pointed and erect. I reached over to caress her, feeling the firm nub beneath my fingertip. She moaned in her sleep, so I retreated so as not to disturb her slumber. Sitting up, I admired her voluptuous form stretched out naked. Memories of the previous night remained strong, and I found it incredible that she had no prior experience. Her body had responded instinctively, providing me...

Earth s CoreChapter 28 Ranks Of The Immortal Realm

Earthly Crater. If not for the terrifying gravitational force that weighted on both the body and soul of whoever enters any of the seven rings, the calm water and the seemingly quiescent giant eel would have created a false impression of a peaceful aquatic vista. As Zax waited in the third ring of the crater, not paying heed to the experts honing their understanding of the attributes and other aspects of their cultivation paths, his ears suddenly perked as his sense of sound detected the...

Future PerfectChapter 17

I ran my hand over my clean-shaven face, having gratefully accepted the return of my laser knife. The iPhone had also survived the journey intact. "Beats a safety razor any day of the week," I'd observed as I performed my ablutions. Several men watched with awe, having never seen this particular piece of citadel technology before. I offered it to one of them and he used it to remove several days of stubbly growth. I sat before a panel of five, their sceptical looks turning more amenable...

Future PerfectChapter 23

"So we're really going to do it?" Teel asked sadly, as we lay together on a hard bunk in one of the spare cabins. We'd spent an hour making love, helping relieve the stress that the adrenaline pumping through our veins had produced. "We'll attempt to minimise casualties, but we're committed. There can be no turning back." "In nurturing, we were taught that violence never solved anything." "That's true for the most part, but sometimes there's no other recourse. In my era, one...

Future PerfectChapter 24

Incredibly sore, I limped back down to the council level where several met me at the access hatch. "You're okay!" Teel gasped. She reached out and hugged me tightly. Vanessa lingered in the background, rocking a small bundle in her arms, and making soothing noises. "Tamar?" Troyal enquired. "He decided to pay a visit to the cultivation section," I joked weakly, looking back towards the maintenance shaft. Troyal emitted a sigh of relief. "He also murdered the Chamberlain who I...

Gateway What Lies BeyondChapter 54

We rode out again the next day early in the morning, and headed east again to another small valley that stood just north of the one we had checked the day before. This one was even smaller in size than the first one. It had a small stream flowing through it that actually fed into the river that flowed out of the first valley. The valley was quaint, but nothing special. It took us an hour to get to it on horseback, an hour to check it out, and an hour to ride back to the base. We made it back...

Earth s CoreChapter 4 Informing The Martial Family

‘A hidden oppression ... The Almighty’s!’ Zax concluded. Now that he reconnected the spirit and consciousness, he became conscious to the inconspicuous Godly Retribution bearing on his being. ‘It began to act’. If he had not reached the Mortal Enlightenment state and joined with his spirit he would have remained oblivious. ‘It’s trying to revoke the speck of the sixth bottleneck, cut off my opportunity to comprehend all six bottlenecks!’ The instant he figured, the land, sky and sea of his...

Earth s CoreChapter 6 To Be The Heir

The mentioning of the Black Core ensued in no reaction of any sort from the two men, other than the shock still plastered on their faces from Zax’s performance. Ozeyn, though, displayed confusion as he wondered what the all too powerful Zax wanted from the pair of tribe elder and his apprentice. “Pretending won’t work”. Zax warned, not caring about the story on how they got and what they know about the Black Core. What he wanted was to receive it and see if both they and Ozeyn could satisfy...

Earth s CoreChapter 7 Committed To His Word Again

“I thought that my son could be the heir, I’ve given up my chance the day he was born. Not long after, however, you appeared. And when I heard that you tried to steal the Black Core, I had a bad premonition...” Yurnal narrated in an aggravated tone. He raised his gaze and glared at Zax as if he hoped that mere eyesight could take a life. He may have agreed to hand over the Black Core, but was it going to be an easy exchange? “You won’t get it for free. Even without the other three Black...

Earth s CoreChapter 11 Blue World Estate

‘Is that it?’ Zax raised his brow. ... Listening for quite a while to the figure that emerged from the fog, the first thing Zax got to learn was its identity. Nocron Yorak Gogenta Jin Buvel, Gogenta in short. He is the previous owner of the Black Core. The humanoid form he presented himself in was his secondary form. His first, the colossal that gave the impression of being larger than a planet, too big to observe, was his innate form as a type of being called “Larzar”, which he in...

Earth s CoreChapter 17 Three Two One Leaving An Impression

“Take Lieutenant General Debuk Jin to the Medical Center. Is injuries are too severe...” General Logan instructed as his line of sight fixated on the horizon and the distant back of the departing figure. Eventually, he successfully reached an agreement with Zax. To avoid conflict, his Blessed Army paid one Star Scavenger for one dark attribute’s essence, which would be delivered fully equipped within a month. To compensate for the second dark attribute’s essence, General Logan offered again...

An Cloch nChapter 68

On the bridge of Dóchas Sarah’s Clan watched the monitors showing Marthanóir and Fiontar preparing to move away from their formation over Ananu. Waiting for them several light minutes away were Princess Manria, freighter FLDC-2, and five Badb-2 cruisers. They were all slowly moving along their departure vector. Joyce said, “I still find this aspect of ship movements fascinating even though it plays out over a fairly long time span.” “Well there is certainly an aspect of grace in their...

Earth s CoreChapter 26 Close But Dare Not To Step Forward

The earth was fissured far as they eye could see. Zax was gone. Sister Iaura was gone. Remnant light attribute fluctuations were in the air with Cardinal Northstar and Stelero Mars’s signatures, yet neither was present. Though hurried footsteps and gusts of wind resounded from every direction, Archbishop Silternjan was the sole face to look at in the encompassing vicinity, and his expression was full of anxiousness and trepidation. Sister Beatriz looked dumbstruck, tried to comprehend what...

Earth s CoreChapter 27 The Unseen

As Zax was waiting for Sister Iaura to wake up, whilst in the meantime reckoning how to treat Niel, someplace else, on the opposite side of the planet and beneath the blue sky, happened to share the same inaudibility but with ambiance much less peaceful. ... Stelero Mars, Archbishop Silternjan, Cardinal Northstar, in addition to all fourth level Martial Mortal members of the church and several of the third level Martial Mortals, were seated on long backrest wooden chairs around a rectangle...

Earth s CoreChapter 36 Audacious Four

Above the Eastern Continent’s eastern coastline with Down Ocean. “Elder sister Beking”, Admiral Hamumni called for the figure reaching from the horizon. “Hamumni”, General Beking greeted, but her attention was entirely focused on the silvery foam atop the turbid ocean. “I can sense them, too, even outside the ocean ... the undulation in the water carry the fluctuations of their energy. This potency I’ve only witnessed Immortals exhibit”. She talked to herself, frowning, before turning to...

Earth s CoreChapter 38 Acting Up

‘Calculating fellow ... in record time he led them to elude me!’ Zax surveyed the mercury like water, but to no avail. Soon after he followed the six into the Down Ocean, General Logan, the man at the forefront, exploited a daunting encounter with a passing Spirit to lose Zax, which succeeded only due to the latter’s inexperience... ‘Is this how it feels to be in the unrestrained presence of an Immortal?’ He verified again the direction the Spirit drifted toward, rather than swam, and...

Earth s CoreChapter 52 Biding Their Time

‘Mes? It’s not his communicator ID’. Grandmaster Kartion was confused when he suddenly received a transmission from an unfamiliar communicator. He was reclusive, uninterested in the world outside his two caves. Laivien, his Martial family, his refinement technique and the Krikitory tribe were the only things which merited his affection – to varying degrees. And the upshot for having so few things in his heart was that each of them had meant more to him than how other may perceive. ‘Supreme...

Earth s CoreChapter 3 Rakmon Penitentiary

Year 5820 of New Earth’s colander. Zax is forty five years old, looks over sixty, assume by the Kon Juya Constabulary to be a few millenniums old, feels like a corpse. Not that any of it mattered. ... U Plain, Rakmon Penitentiary Star. The Lunar Splitter halted before the planet that was thousands of times larger than Ercas Mir. Its composition, as well as that of the entire humongous Plain, was governed by a far more complex set of natural laws, then those of the Milky Way Plain. The...

Earth s CoreChapter 15 Separating For Solutions

“We are two months away from the one year period allocated to the project, Sailair”. Zechariah chased him in a hasty walk and at the front, Sailair, with a troubled look, paid the entrance fee to the souk and rushed inside. Everything was wrong, ever since the beginning of the excavation, from the output of Ever Pure Solid to the concentration of the soil, to the proximity to tunnels No. 38 and No .39. Sailair encountered one hurdle after another and from his perspective the chief accomplice...

Surviving 3Chapter 6 Fife

Scott decided to strike while the iron was hot, he rode forward and dismounted, unsurprised to see the Fife lieutenants drop to one knee and prepare to take their oath of fealty to him. In the background he could see the massed ranks of the Fife infantry watching what was going on. Scott put his hand between the hands of the man who had taken the lead on their discussions. "I swear to serve you as my King, to provide you and your heirs with my fullest support as god is my witness." Intoned...

A Glimpse Through the Mist of TimeChapter 10

On my way back I stopped near the old house. I had no reason just a whim to stand where my great--grandfather had perhaps stood. As I wandered I inadvertently kicked one of the granite setts which had come loose from its seating. I looked for more and found many more, some set in place but most laying haphazardly here and there. An idea came to my mind and I sought the area where the courtyard gave way to the drive up from the main gate. I was right. The drive and its route were indicated by...

Tara 3 DogsChapter 12

Shelly growled at Darcy with a threat. She had expected the male to roll over and submit to her. Stray Dogs were not welcome. They kept a watch for the Dogs of the other packs but they rarely ventured this close to their home. Darcy, however, just sat as if he had every right to be where he was. She noticed that he was not coated the same as the other Dog. She watched warily as the other Dog joined the first and sat just to the side and slightly behind him. This was odd behaviour. He was...

Sex Education ClassChapter 4

Young Wayne Conroy was the only child of Montock's richest family. He'd been coddled since birth by an over-protective mother, and had grown up with the constant awareness of his father's position in the town and the large farm-land holdings they owned throughout the county. In many ways he had become an insufferable brat, able to get away with nearly any rotten trick he tried, knowing that his parents would always be able to pull him out of any fire he started. It was not surprising,...

Vigilante Brock McLoud 3 Chapter 4

Major Appleby and his staff thought that they now had enough of a force in the ESP Brigade to win any battle they might encounter in the immediate future, so they were ready to take on a campaign of expanding ESP Land. The question was one of which way to strike. They decided to go west with an initial goal of taking over the port city of Mobile, Alabama. Mobile had been the second largest port on the Gulf coast. However, since the mid-30s, it had dwindled down to a simple fishing community....

Lucky Jim 1 FirehairChapter 4 A New Home

Feb 2, 1857 I was back out with Dawn hunting again this morning. Everyone was surprised last night when my brothers managed to return before supper with a deer. Listening to them brag about their hunting success had me on the verge of tears trying to keep from laughing. I noticed amused looks on everyone else’s faces, too. It was nearly an hour later before my brothers even heard about the gun battle. They were once again sullen after hearing that. Despite the early morning drizzle, Dawn...

Problems and SolutionsChapter 23

Sayuri was punctual, as Rachel had expected, and a ‘VISITOR’ badge was easily obtained for her. “The Gallery is quite extensive,” Rachel said, “Are there areas you’re interested in?” Sayuri pointed at a poster for a calligraphy show. “No problem.” [Calligraphy, or beautiful hand-writing, is considered the highest artistic achievement in many Asian cultures. Drawn from the Gallery’s collection and enriched with a significant loan from the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia, this exhibition...

Polaroid Club Book IChapter 4

The Gandydancer was Morriston's most expensive and most well-known restaurant-night club, catering to those among the population who could afford two dollars per drink during the thrice-nightly shows and boned squab at ten dollars per plate. It was plush and dark, with beautiful young cocktail waitresses in sequined halter-and-panty outfits holding forth in the lounge--and maroon-uniformed waiters hovering quietly and obsequiously in the upstairs dining salon. At nine o'clock the following...

Refuge Robledo Mountain 2 Chapter 16

I left Tomas alone for a few days. He went to the village and rode along the river with Jesus and others he’d picked from the files. He was getting a feel for the land where he was going to be responsible for growing crops. The day before the election, Tomas asked to see me after breakfast. I asked Clara to send a coffee service up to the terrace and Tomas followed me upstairs. We sat down at a table enjoying the early morning sunshine. As I poured our coffees I asked Tomas what was on his...

Wild WoodsChapter 5 Levayah

“Panza residence, this is Marian,” the bright voice on the phone said. “Marian, this is Gee. How are you?” “Oh, Gee! How nice to hear from you. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Things here are bright. We just announced to the family that we’re expecting another child. I planned to call you today,” she answered. Marian and Nathan Panza had been the first friends Gee made in Rosebud Falls when he saved their son, Devon, from the Rose River. They had given him a home and a job, and through...

Outward BoundChapter 16

Emily was in a foul mood. Even the treat of shopping wasn’t enough to lighten it. Her mood was further darkened when she was told that the shuttle from Port Lowell to the station would be delayed for an hour. Her demands for consideration of her position on the Seward’s Folly fell on deaf ears. She was informed that a police action as in progress, and all flights were delayed. When she finally arrived on Mars station, she was again informed of another delay. The Seward’s shuttles were tied...

The Anomaly Volume One The Battle for the Known UnknownChapter 24

The Moon - 3751 C.E. "It's just not fair," said the overweight man who was hovering above the ground beside Paul. "I've lived on the Moon all my life. Every year for well over a century, I've applied for a visa to visit Earth. I've entered competitions. I've applied for special permits. I've offered an obscene amount of money. And then someone like you—who comes from the fucking Kuiper Belt, from an anarchist colony no one's ever heard of—gets to go to Earth after no more than a...

Where the Mountain RisesChapter 30 A Fisher of Men

Summer 2052 Clark cast his fishing line back into the stream, hoping to catch a third fish one each for Sally, Katie and himself for their supper. The steady drizzle wasn’t helping much, although rain was dearly needed for the crops and hayfields. He would have been soaking wet by now, if he hadn’t given in to Katie’s insistence that he wear one of Brother Matthew’s robes to go outside. If Katie had been with him, she would have caught a dozen fish by now and he would be back inside...

A Time for SharingChapter 9

After our little celebration I thought the people on the farm looked less worried, and more relaxed then before. There were still many problems in the total overall community, but they had been somewhat cheered by what was little more than a momentary time out from the very real problems they, and many of their loved ones, were facing. Lupe came up to me a few days after the party, asking me to let him know if what I'd told all the others was actually true. I learned from him that, in Old...

Three Square MealsChapter 120 Nine lives

Fleet Admiral Lynette Devereux walked along the bustling corridor, her security detachment clearing a path so that she could proceed uninterrupted. Despite the early hour, this area of Olympus shipyard was teeming with personnel, with many thousands of navy crewmen recalled from leave and ready to muster out to their ships. The officers amongst the men and women waiting in lines saluted respectfully, but Lynette walked by without acknowledging them. She didn’t intend it to be a slight,...

A Time for SharingChapter 10

I did keep my eye on Tina over the next few months. What continued to surprise me was the fact that she seemed to have her eyes on me about as much as mine were on her. This meant the two of us were often left staring at each other. More and more frequently, I would find myself engaging her in conversation. These were never long conversations, but I did get in the habit of stopping whatever I was doing when I noticed her passing by, then making some comment to her that she would usually...

A Time for SharingChapter 12

As much as Lupe and Raul loved and appreciated their new homes, the highlight of all of it, for them, was having those newly planted pistachio trees. We had only been able to put in forty two trees in the land they had available for cultivation. They did all their irrigation with a single sprinkler roller and a long hose for the connection to one of the pumping mains at the lake. They loved being growers in their own right. Whenever Lupe or Raul tried to call me Jefe after that, I started...

A Time for SharingChapter 14

Over the next few months I was the only person using the building Rob and I referred to as the tune up shop. All the women still called it the recreation room. I'd often go in there, for an hour or two at a time, whenever I wanted to be alone with no chance that I'd be bothered. I always locked the door after myself, and never answered any knocks, or responded to people calling my name from outside the building. After a time, people started knowing better than to disturb me when I was...

The Earl s ManChapter 18

Led by the Tampico, my new flagship for trading with Westland, the fourteen ships sailed with a cargo destined largely for Port Tampico. The ships carried carpenters, stonemasons, stonecutters, miners, cattle, pigs, and chickens. The livestock was from Granada and North Africa, so they were already used to hot weather. The cargo included another five hundred mounted archers, the same number of horses for Ocanizl, swords and crossbows for Ames, 5,000 Welsh bows, 200,000 silk bowstrings, and...

The RedheadChapter 5

What now my love? The next morning found us on the road back to Homestead and Grace's house. Neither of us had more than a couple of hours sleep that night. We would make love, drift off to sleep and one would wake the other and start again. I felt like I would never be able to get enough of her. She on the other hand was able to take all I had to give and still be ready for more. Thank goodness that there is a part of the male anatomy that reaches a certain point, where it just fails to...

No FutureChapter 6

Green Grass of Home Eden 2048 Eden had bought and sold so much land that he couldn't really be blamed for not knowing what he actually owned. Not that he was ever involved in the purchase. He employed people to do that for him. All he knew was that where land was cheap, the best medium-term strategy for a man of means and ambition such as himself was to buy it. A growing population and a declining supply of housing stock only pointed in one direction with regards to future profit for...

No FutureChapter 9 The Good Seed

Gabrielle 2039 Farming is a business like any other. It may also be a vocation, a life-style choice or even one of the few remaining outdoor occupations, but the one thing Gabrielle knew for sure was that farming is a business. Although she had sympathies with the principles of organic farming and rather distrusted Genetic Modification, what mattered at the end of each accounting month was that she'd balanced the books and generated enough profit to stay in business. In a world where...

Castaway FearlessChapter 7

“I can’t believe we agreed to ride with him,” I thought, “it was only yesterday we had lunch.” “Why do you say that?” Julie asked, keeping the conversation going, bouncing with the latest rut in the road. The mid-morning sun glared through a lace curtain, which covered her window, touching her black shirt and pants. The morning sky was a brilliant blue with little wind, and it was obvious the sun would beat down on us later. “We have found evidence that there have been some material...

Spirit QuestChapter 11

I sent a missive to Clovis requesting permission to purchase large tracts of the just conquered Eastern Roman Empire. Along the coast in what would be modern Lebanon I wanted to grow bananas. Along the coast in what would be modern Israel I wanted to grow sugar cane. Along the Nile valley, it would be cotton, sugar cane, and bananas. Land around Constantinople would be for growing a delightful spice as of yet unknown in Europe, Asia, and Africa. My query received a positive...

Surviving 2Chapter 7 Spring 874 AD Fife

It was early spring and Scott had decided he wanted to make an early start to his campaign against the Saxons and Danes who were assailing Fife. He called a council with his lieutenants to establish his orders for the progress he expected in the lordship while he was away. His smiths had worked on ploughs and seed drills over the winter and he now set out what he wanted done by way of planting. Grain planting would be increased significantly, his land improvements and the machinery making...

Masters of the ArchesChapter 13

They walked into a small room that had another door facing them. But this door was open and they were stunned by the vastness of the room on the other side of it. Then as soon as they had entered into the small room, the door slid shut behind them thus preventing them from going back. There was nothing else to do now except to walk toward the open door in front of them. It was quite plain that they were being forced by an invisible hand to go in one direction, and this reminded him of...

Retreat Robledo Mountain 3 Chapter 20

Thursday morning dawned sunny with a crisp chill in the air, as Tom and I carried the last of our things out, and loaded everything in the wagons or coach as appropriate. We joined everyone else in the restaurant, and were surprised to find Lucien sitting at the table. I sat down in the empty chair next to Anna, as she handed me a cup of coffee. Glancing around the table I greeted everyone and suddenly realized that Hiram, Lucien, and the Judge were all sitting together across the table from...

Grains of SandChapter 10

Yakhir was nursing a goose egg on the back of his head from sitting up too quickly in one of the bins when a runner from his clan shouted his name from the tunnel. The pain became immediately inconsequential to the quickening thump of his heart. The runner could only mean one thing: a Council meeting had been called outside of the normal schedule. Jahmiel Kevit-Nakar had heard the runner as well and met the two when they emerged into the Shaft. He offered Yakhir words of encouragement and...

York 1 Chapter 4

I called an emergency meeting of our anti-KKK committee and showed them the two notes. They could see my seething anger while I waited for them to read the despicable words. It took considerable effort for me to calm down. "You can see why I am so angry. Sarah wasn't hurt, but two adults were murdered and I couldn't prevent it. I am looking for ideas on how to fight them. Can any of you suggest anything." Jess Arnold said, "Short of contacting the Apaches or the Comanches and offering a...

York 1 Chapter 8

JAMES' STORY: By 1895, we were beginning to see strong effects from the reduction in the water supply. Our crop yield had started to fall off and we were considering having less acreage under cultivation in an effort to gain as much advantage as we could from the available water. Our neighbors were having even more trouble with water decline. On top of that, our produce shipments were again being harassed. These attacks were not on the scale of those a few years ago, but the ambushes were...

York 1 Chapter 9

JAMES' STORY: The last few years had been very good to York Ranch in many ways. We had been able to maintain our crop cultivation at a steady level. Sarah was able to find a good source for canvas and we learned to make our own hose, so we were able to put enough hose in the fields to irrigate adequately without having to move the hose around. Interestingly, I did some further checking on well technology and found out that my previous information sources were mired in old technology....

EdenChapter 15

It was impossible, was the shipwide consensus. There was no conceivable way that a culture obviously in the early stages of agrarianism, with but a single field planetwide under true cultivation, could have advanced to organized iron mining and smelting just a century later. "It took us several thousands of years to cross that bridge," said Toshimura. "To even suggest that another species could make the transition in a mere hundred is nonsense!" None could argue with the proposition that...

Demon and Demeanour Book 4 of Poacher s ProgressChapter 15 Being Economical With the Truth

Harvesting of the cider apple crop was in full swing, and John Dymoke had not yet re-joined the regiment. Horse Guards had written to inform me Dymoke was due to travel to Taunton sometime after Christmas, almost three months in the future. I had expected, hoped, to have relinquished command by Christmas at the latest, able then to go, cap in hand, to Colonel Slade or John Stafford, and ask for a position in either of their departments, and thus be at the centre of any search for Eloise de la...

Tara 4 AntsChapter 26

When Stix crossed into the land protected by the shield, she knew that the old records kept by the Tarans were true. As she approached the shield, the first thing she noticed was an odd area that was close to four meters wide. When she stood just inside the edge of this zone, she had an uninterrupted view for nearly a kilometre in both directions, until the curve of the shield or the height of grasses obscured the ends. She walked along the edge to the north for about a hundred meters. She...

Delta OriginalChapter 15 Futura s Growing Pains

By the start of the sixth week on the planet, the two main habitat domes were complete. They had all of the necessary infrastructure installed. The construction crews had headed off to work on other projects. The scientists either had or were still moving in and were busy setting up their labs. Forty-six people now called Utopia home. The western dome, which they had built first, had twenty-four dedicated double bedrooms with unsuits downstairs. In the central double story area, a large...

The Count of Monte CristoChapter 31 Italy Sinbad the Sailor

Towards the beginning of the year 1838, two young men belonging to the first society of Paris, the Vicomte Albert de Morcerf and the Baron Franz d'Epinay, were at Florence. They had agreed to see the Carnival at Rome that year, and that Franz, who for the last three or four years had inhabited Italy, should act as cicerone to Albert. As it is no inconsiderable affair to spend the Carnival at Rome, especially when you have no great desire to sleep on the Piazza del Popolo, or the Campo...

The Count of Monte CristoChapter 51 Pyramus and Thisbe

About two-thirds of the way along the Faubourg Saint-Honore, and in the rear of one of the most imposing mansions in this rich neighborhood, where the various houses vie with each other for elegance of design and magnificence of construction, extended a large garden, where the wide-spreading chestnut-trees raised their heads high above the walls in a solid rampart, and with the coming of every spring scattered a shower of delicate pink and white blossoms into the large stone vases that stood...

The Count of Monte CristoChapter 53 Robert le Diable

The pretext of an opera engagement was so much the more feasible, as there chanced to be on that very night a more than ordinary attraction at the Academie Royale. Levasseur, who had been suffering under severe illness, made his reappearance in the character of Bertrand, and, as usual, the announcement of the most admired production of the favorite composer of the day had attracted a brilliant and fashionable audience. Morcerf, like most other young men of rank and fortune, had his orchestra...

Rape s ProgressChapter 12

Hope joined her little sister, Charity, about a week after her sibling had become my live-in sex-slave. Hope was in a bad way. She had been interrogated for several days by Zac and his henchman Cyril. These two were determined that Amazon Pot Com - an all-women marijuana-growing and marketing company recently formed by Hope - would not threaten their local monopoly. To reinforce their claim to the monopoly of illicit cultivation of Indian hemp in the nearby National Forest Zac and Cyril were...

Rape s ProgressChapter 18

I had the first night-watch on the Black Swan as we headed north to Fiddler's Green. The owner, pop star Basil Bundy, was locked in a cabin. Cleo, Marsha and a tearful red-headed woman called Ruby kept me company on the bridge deck, while Popeye went below to drown his sorrows. "You'll have to let the girls out of the bolt-hole soon!" whispered Cleo, snuggling up to my starboard side. "Yeah," agreed Marsha, as she rubbed her hip softly along my port quarter. "It must be getting...

Showing Them Who s Boss

Something different. Partly inspired by many news items about the amount of sexual and physical abuse and also the rise of citizen groups of vigilantes “Pah! Disgusting! Terrible!” Floris Seebohm railed at the TV, sipping her Hendricks Gin and Fevertree tonic, laced with a slice of cucumber. She adjusted her spindly glasses, tried to fluff her sparse, over bleached, near white, long hair and pulled her thick woollen cardigan closer to her stout octogenarian body. She pressed a gadget on an...

Earth s CoreChapter 9 Restoring Calm

Kingdom Earth, cave fourteen, El-Eden's capitol cave. At the three hundredth and seventy second floor, the top floor, of a crystal like executive building a red headed middle age woman wearing a golden white suit and white high heels, waited impatiently next to a close door. The woman had a vexed facial expression and could not bear sitting on the lavish seats and waiting at the same time, as the middle age male secretary politely suggested her. Watching the woman's nonstop pacing from...

Earth s CoreChapter 23 Time Is Running Out

“Co ... Cold ... I’m feeling cold, Sister Beatriz”. Sister Iaura uttered, trembling. “This aura ... it’s imperious as The Almighty’s”. “Hush, child”. Sister Beatriz embraced the fearful young lass. “You do not know the things of which your mouth spoke of. The Almighty, God Demirva, tiny us should not attempt to gauge and compare the unfathomable”. The strong and usually unruffled woman said in her all too familiar composed manner, but that was the mere sound of her voice. The face she...

January 6th

It was the twelfth day of Christmas... The Great Detective sat back in his wing back chair. He reached out with the poker and prodded at the remnants of the fire in the grate. A stream of sparks sputtered from the last of the logs and spiralled away up the chimney and out into the night. He turned to the assembled audience who were stood waiting on his every word. The Inspector was there too, looking on with the same bored expression that always accompanied these affairs. He was tired of...

Earth s CoreChapter 25 Legacy Of The One rsquo s Path

‘There is a title’, Zax’s voice quivered. The first thing that popped up from the minimal information he could gather from the second subject was a five words title, brimming with immense excellence as if it was part of a divine existence. ‘Legacy Of The One’s Path. Zax said in trepidation. He clearly could not calmly handle the bits of the decrypted second subject in his possession. Merely staring at the information floating in his sea of consciousness aroused a sense of obeisance, in a...

Earth s CoreChapter 3 Introspection

After eating the roasted fish and drinking their juices, the young Krikitories and little Liz played in the lake's water for a hour or so. Afterwards, Zax informed little Liz that she needs to go to sleep since tomorrow him and Anet are taking her back home. The next day, Kingdom Earth. "Did you have fun sweetheart?" Laylen asked little Liz in her hands. "Yes, mommy. Big sis Shulip made yummy fishies, here". She blew a warm breath on her mother's nose so she could smell the sweetness...

An All American Teenage Sex LifeChapter 10

While it was true that Sundays were my own, for the most part, my Saturdays belonged to someone else. Since the racecar was in pieces and not back from the body shop, I belonged to dad for the day. Grandpa Parker was running the disc. Dad was planting, but he still had plans for me. “I’m going to have you field cultivate about 50 acres of last year’s sorghum,” dad said as he attached the old 4440 to the implement he was talking about. “Start with the end rows, then just try not to miss...

Earth s CoreChapter 3 First Time At The Beach

‘Now if you wonder, potential heir, why the mere trials of the mortal’s second realm shoulder such immense significance in the eternal Martial path, you first need to understand what the six bottlenecks of insight are. ‘First five bottlenecks may vary in order but overall are equal and the same among all who aspire to traverse the Martial path; they are elevation from the small minded material, a comprehension of the worldly. If a cultivator denounces any of the bottlenecks in the...

Earth s CoreChapter 18 First Harvest

By dawn the storm had gradually passed. Zax and Fengar, after entering Demirva Ridge, kept running in the open till first rays of light. Any person, whether a cultivator or a regular human being, could feel the foreboding atmosphere of the ridge. Most disturbing was the absence of any type of life, not even the tiniest insect or even plants could be seen. “Luckily we haven’t met slumbering wraiths or other cultivators. If possible, I rather let someone be the first to validate the...

Earth s CoreChapter 10 Resentful Guard Chou Ferk

“You big oaf! He is an expert at the epitome of the Martial path, not a mortal!” Varinka angrily punched Giant Havreim’s shoulder. “I know that!” Giant Havreim complained, mildly offended. “I didn’t mean that he got it like a non cultivator. It probably what happened in New Earth that messed him up. I think ... if I’d lost you I would’ve been the same”. “Have I turned crazy after losing my husband, sons and daughter?!” Lenrah seethed. “Most of us lost everything we held dear, but he who is...
