The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 15 Getting Rich

Summer, 1812 Leaving Plymouth and Florence did not come easy to Thomas. Over the last three days of their stay, Thomas had spent every free minute with the young woman. On the last day, Florence had been miserable. Upon gentle probing, Thomas found out that she was disheartened over returning to her place of work in Corbley’s Revue. Having grown extremely fond of the girl but also under pressure to weigh anchor on the next morning, Thomas found a temporary solution. In a boarding house run...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 12 Reward

March, 1812 It must have been his 10th time in over two years of sighting the Mediterranean Fleet Thomas thought idly as he timed his next manoeuvre carefully. As usual, Tempest carried the mail for the Commander in Chief, and that set the priorities. No sooner had Tempest settled on a course a cable length athwart from the flagship than his gig splashed into the water, and then he was racing down the Jacob’s ladder with the mail bag. Only five minutes later saw him on the quarter deck...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 13 On the Prowl

April, 1812 HMS Dido was sailing on a southerly course, holding the seaward position in a 20 mile-wide line of frigates that were combing the sea off the Pyrenees foothills. Cerbere had to lie due west Thomas knew although all they could see was a thin line of land on the horizon. Thisbe was holding the most landward position of their line at some two leagues from the shore. In perhaps an hour they would have to change course to southeast to avoid Cap de Creus which was jutting out from the...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 20 Cleaning Ship

January, 1813 The brig Darlington had been specifically built for transporting passengers and mail. She was under government contract to connect Plymouth and Gibraltar, and her passenger quarters were purpose-built and more than adequate. Thomas had his own cabin whilst Mirabel and Florence shared the adjoining one. Other passengers included an Army major, two Navy lieutenants on their way to new appointments, and the wife of a Gibraltar ship chandler returning from visiting relatives in...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 16 Bad tidings

October, 1812 After two weeks of cruising along the Spanish coast, Dido finally caught up with Commodore Clancy’s squadron near Tarragona. The squadron shortened sail to allow Dido to join, and before the night fell, Thomas had delivered the documents from the Gibraltar prize court to Clancy. Clancy had obviously overcome his consternation, and he employed Dido in a forward position as the frigates swept along the coast in a north-easterly direction. It was Dido that cut off a French...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 22 Sardinia

March 1813 Commodore Harold Hastings was a gracious host. He had welcomed each of his captains in person at the port, together with Captain Benning, and then led them aft to where his cabin had been prepared for the guests. He had been a successful frigate captain, and the quality of the foods and wines bore witness to his affluence. Northumberland was 15 years old, of 1900 tons burthen, carrying 32-pounders on her main deck and 18-pounders on the upper deck. She was one of the better 74s...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 21 Wake up Call

February 1813 Three days later, with the last repairs finished and the last stores stowed away, Unicorn was ready to sail in the morning. After one last evening ashore and a delightful farewell offered by the lovely Florence, Thomas had come aboard late, but he was up before the first light to supervise the weighing of the anchor. Unicorn and Dido would sail together on their return to the fleet, always with an eye on catching some blockade runner. Dido was riding her anchor two cable...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 7 Porcelain Shell

I’d set an alarm for five, deciding that the lack of sleep would be better than leaving the twins stranded by themselves. However, when I slapped the sound off and staggered out into the living room, all was quiet. Figuring they’d be up soon, I grabbed my Walkman and stretched out on the couch to relax while I waited. As it turned out, I fell asleep and Lara ended up waking me up. I started, surprised to see her shaking me. “What time is it?” I asked, pulling the tangled headphones from my...

Wildfire Part 4

Wildfire Part 4 I should make a note about killing off a few of the X-Men in the last chapter. In the most technical sense, this is obviously an alternate universe from the main one, if you follow the comic books. I will use that as an excuse for the differences in characters, events, and the way time flows. For all I know, I may make this the universe where the X-Men cross- over with Star Trek characters (I cant remember the name of the books, or the authors, but both were...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 28 Reunited

September 1813 It took another four days before Unicorn and her consorts sailed for Gibraltar. The superintendent of the armoury agreed to return her previous ordnance of six-pounder long guns and 32-pounder carronades, six apiece. The carronades on the quarter deck had made her too top-heavy for Thomas’s taste. There was also a dinner at the Civil Commissioner’s residence to which the Navy officers were invited. The three frigate captains had to recount the action against the Berber...

XSFGCChapter 25 Bad Week Gets Worst

"I am Magneto; what are you doing on MY Island?" As Phillip listened to the older man in the maroon armor he could only shake his head as this was a most foul way to end an equally foul week. In front of him and his fellow classmates were their guardians, their protectors assigned to prevent the very thing that was happening from ever happening. Storm; convulsing on the sand while trying to breathe as the very same metal she wore as jewelry was choking her more and more. Phoenix; one of...

XSFGCChapter 26 Not So Sweet Revenge

Hellfire Club New York City Betsy Braddock, dressed in a tight white t-shirt, sans bra, equally tight black jeans and fashionable new clog's made of leather and rubber, her only other attire was the leather choker around her neck and the matching thin leather strap on her right wrist, walked into the side entrance of the Hellfire Club and wondered if her English heritage would have been enough for her to walk through the front doors of the famed member's only club. Somehow she doubted it;...

Virtual Slavery

Prologue  The image of a naked woman fills the notebook computer screen.   She is on her knees, seen from behind and to her right side. Her asshole and dilated shaven sex are clearly visible. The upturned soles of her feet. The side of one white breast flattened against a burgundy bedspread. Her face, but for one startlingly blue eye which seems to be staring not at the bedspread an inch away but inward, is hidden by outstretched arms and a sweep of black hair. The arms extend to wrists bound...

First LoveChapter 12

When the weather began to thaw Ryan began working at his dad's construction company, something he'd done since puberty. It was hard work, but it worked his body out well enough he supposed. He worked on the weekends, which meant he had less time to spend with Jen and his friends, but he was making a lot of money. He vowed to save it so he could get a car as soon as he got his license. He turned sixteen in November, and he calculated how many hours he would have to work till then to get a...

Wildfire part 3

Wildfire Part 3 Finally, after a break, part 3. For anyone following the series, I haven't forgotten it, but have been too busy to write. And, as promised, since I will be using bigger chapters, I've had to re-structure some other stuff. I didn't know how many more shocks I could take. Maybe coming to the X- Men hadn't been such a good idea. If it wasn't bad enough, within a couple of weeks of arriving, I had not only had to face Nitro, but that had somehow changed me into...

No Chants at All

"Mayday! Mayday! We're losing power! Mayday!" It was tense in the chartered Twin Otter, a reliable aircraft that had flown many similar routes in its life. This flight was taking it over the vast Landes forest on the way from San Marino to the beaches at Mimizan on the Gold Coast of France. But the Atlantic was still a long way off. Here there were only trees out to every horizon. Along with the frantic pilot two passengers were on board: Steven Muir, a successful middle-aged broker and...

Love By The Side of The LakesChapter 3

Wednesday, August 20th I woke up with a start. "Will, Abby, Wake up!" I heard the tent rattle and shake. I opened my eyes. It was daylight. Joe demanded again, "Will, Abby, Wake Up! Are you guys awake?" "Yes, Joe. I'm awake." I said. Abby stirred. "I'm awake Joe." She said. "Good morning Abby." I said. "Good morning Will." Abby replied. We dressed and packed our things that we brought in the tent last night. I could hear a gentle rain dripping on our tent. This rain just...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 24 The Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus

Not a half hour after the squadron cast anchor in the harbour of Cagliari, the church bells across the town began to toll. A number of royal officials assembled on the quay, soon reenforced by Commodore Hastings in his splendid admiral’s uniform and by the captains of the two Sardinian sloops also dressed up in their finest. Then the first boats began to disembark the freed slaves. A crowd assembled on the quay to watch and cheer both rescued and rescuers, and then a military band appeared on...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 25 A Fruitless Effort

“All hands to witness punishment!” The pipes shrilled through the ship whilst Thomas was standing on the quarter deck, overseeing the preparations for the flogging. A day before, the court martial under Captain Benning had found Able Seaman Ballard in violation of Article 22. He was disrated and sentenced to four dozen lashes with the cat, the worst flogging in Thomas’s personal experience. Captains could only mete out up to two dozen lashes, but a court martial had a wider...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 26 A personal grudge

Once back in his ship, he therefore sat at his desk to update his latest letter to Mirabel, adding his plea to look after Teresa and assuring his intended that he was anxiously awaiting the day when they would see each other again. He explained his new tasks and expressed his hopes of returning to Gibraltar in the early autumn. When this was done, he called for Bartleby and asked him to bring in Teresa. The girl smiled at him when she entered the cabin. She had become very familiar with him...

Sea Witch of Nantucket IslandChapter 2

Henrietta was more of a bicycle person than a motorcar person because she was fearful of being in some accident that would negate her cursed existence for at least another five hundred years of mortal life. Actually at almost three hundred winters under her belt she was really still in her younger years in humankind terms and she was a bit irresponsible in matters of the heart. She had expressed her regret at her terrible weakness of the flesh with regard to the one-legged Police Chief in...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 42 This Fraying Cord

I was waiting for Muireann to emerge from the restroom before we headed to photography class, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I figured she was playing the other-shoulder trick to get me to look the wrong way, but I was surprised to find Bruno there after all. “Oh, hey man ... What’s up?” I greeted. “We need to talk,” he said quietly, glancing anxiously down the hall. “Hm. Let me guess ... Pete?” “Yeah. Are you heading to class? I can walk with you.” “I am, but ... I need to wait for...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 12 Take a Look at Me

I felt an arm grip my winter coat. “Matt ... I don’t know that we can do this!” “Of course you can. It’s not that hard.” “No, I’m worried about Tommy!” she whispered. “What if he falls? Or runs into someone?” I gave her gloved hand a pat. “He’ll be okay. It’s pretty soft, you know. Watch...” I let myself fall sideways like a cut tree, landing on my hip and shoulder. Muireann gave a little cry of surprise, but I just laughed it off. In another moment I was standing again. “You want to...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 23 Soon I rsquo ll Be Gone

If I hadn’t been sure that Tommy had Dr. Kendall in his back pocket, that was put to rest in study hall the following Tuesday. Carmen, Tommy, and I were walking along the outside of the school building, on our way to the fields as was our habit now, when the principal rounded the far corner and came toward us. “Uh oh,” Carmen said. “Caught.” “Principal alert,” I whispered, for Tommy’s benefit. The three of us laughed quietly, all of us wearing shades as was our other habit these days. “We...

D chasChapter 36

As the shuttle lifted off from the resort with Leann's and Muireann's groups, Leann looked at Muireann and said, "I didn't expect this." Laughing, Jason of Muireann's group said, "I don't think anyone did. We only have about 20 minutes to figure out what we are going to do." "Let's link with the Engineering-AI and Systems-AI like we did this morning," added Madison of Leann's group. "Makes sense," responded several. In their discussions with the AIs, they learned that only...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 34 The Pedals of My Mind

“Sorry I stole your bed,” Lara said, giving me a sheepish grin as she wandered out of my room the next morning. I shrugged. “The couch is comfortable enough.” “I didn’t mean to fall asleep. We were working on lyrics, you know, and ... Yeah. Where is everyone?” “Colin’s not here yet, and Gwen came by a while ago but just grabbed Muireann and took off. And you and Tommy have been sleeping like logs.” “Where did Gwen take her?” “Beats me. She said they’d be back in a few...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 29 Last Place for a Landing

It was strange to wake up. I was still on the couch, but Heather was gone, and I was horizontal and covered by a blanket. I could hear my moms and aunt chatting in the living room, since I was occupying their usual morning hangout spot. Then again, the sun was bright and the shadows on the porch floor were well past parallel to the wood beams, suggesting that my first meal of the day would be called ‘late lunch’ and certainly not ‘breakfast’. So, I really took their usual afternoon spot......

Shutter ReleaseChapter 41 Strip it All Away

“So, how much of this will you tell Tommy?” It was the first thing Muireann had said in some time, having grown progressively more reticent as I revealed my secrets to her, one by one. There were many, so it had taken a long while. But they were out, now... All of them. “Tommy...” I murmured. “Yeah, I’m not sure.” “He’s very fond of Lara.” I sniffed. “I know that. You think he’ll be weirded out?” “I can’t say for sure. And what about her?” I frowned. “Lara? She knows all of this...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 26 Hard to See

“Hello?” “Oh hi, Mrs. Martin. How are you?” “Matt ... It’s me,” Heather said. I jerked in my chair. “What... ? No way! You said ‘Hello’!” “I guess I did.” This must be part of a joke... “Okay ... Where have you been? We were supposed to talk on Wednesday, remember?” “What day is it today?” Heather asked. I was quiet for a second. “It’s Friday? Seriously, is everything all right? You answered weird ... Well, you answered normally, which is weird for you. And you really don’t know what...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 6 Fire for the Cold Ones

Given the unknown amount of potential baggage, Sarah decided to pick up the twins by herself. At best, one more person could have gone with her, but if it turned out that Muireann and Tommy were major packers then it would’ve been a tight fit and an uncomfortable ride. We knew from their letter that they’d likely be bringing some instruments with them. “Better safe than sorry. Besides, this will be my first and last chance to talk to them, I’m sure,” Sarah joked. “Don’t worry, we’ll let you...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 9 New Dream

“Well, last period is finally here. Enjoying the first day?” I asked, leading Muireann to some desks on the side of the classroom. I avoided my usual study hall spot, where Carl and a couple of other guys I usually sat with were already seated. “Aye, though it’s been a whirlwind,” she admitted. “Yeah, introducing you in each class ... I swear everyone has met you three times over!” Muireann sniffed. “At least that many. It felt a bit odd, all that. But everyone seems nice.” “For the most...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 14 Nothing rsquo s What it Seems

“What have we here?” Jane asked, coming to a stop in front of our half-dozen pictures. “Twins,” Muireann said. “Aha.” She examined our spread. “Did you do the project together?” “Aye, we tried something different.” I could hear the hope in Muireann’s voice, that this would be okay by our teacher. Jane pursed her lips. “Interesting approach.” “I know there’s only six photos, but we both did take six shots,” I explained. “There’s two exposures on each!” Jane gave me a small smile. “Yes,...

ComrieChapter 43

Over a meadow near Far Hills, Cathan's, Darcy's, and Edana's teams were resting in their shuttles. On Dóchas, it was shortly after 2 AM Far Hills time when the Intelligence-AI woke Danny, Shannon, and Muireann. "What is it?" asked Muireann. "The drone monitoring the estate has detected people leaving the main building. They appear to be leaving in groups of two and three. They are exiting the rear of the building and staying in the shadows until they are a short distance from the...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 11 Go Figure

When Melissa and I returned to the house after dropping off the order for the necklace, nothing much had changed. In the cabin I found Lara and Tommy at the table, intently studying a sheet of paper. They didn’t even glance at me as I closed the door. I could hear Muireann’s muffled fiddle playing from the darkroom, the sound of a slow Irish melody permeating the warmed air inside. “How’s it going?” I announced, taking off my coat. After scribbling something down, Lara turned to me, smiling...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 44 A Sweeter Hell

Pete didn’t attend school the rest of the week. The two times I called over to his house, I hung up as soon as I heard his dad answer. Even Bruno said that he hadn’t been able to talk to him since the day he canned Skinner. I was feeling unsettled again, but I held on to the hope that whatever was in motion was happening out of sight. It was all I could do, besides barging over there again and trying to force another chat. In the meantime, I made sure that all my other irons were still in...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 45 The Best Part of Us

The talent show was in full swing. Ready or not, the acts were cycling on and off the stage with inevitable tempo. This time around, Green Space had opened the show, and The Nameless would soon close it. “I hope Pete keeps it together,” I said to Lara, as we stood in the wing watching a kid play a rather impressive classical piece on the piano. “He will. Muireann seems to have a calming influence on him.” “Yeah, I noticed. She’s been so helpful in dealing with Pete these last few weeks, I...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 43 Endless Honeycomb

That evening, I was once again drained. Despite the temporary refueling that Muireann had gifted me in the pool after the terror of Pete’s episode, the subsequent rehearsal of Other Side had eventually sapped me. I could also tell that Muireann was almost as wiped as I was. The song was intense. It was a great relief when we both settled down into our beds in the main room of the cabin, her on the cot and me on the couch. “The downside of sleeping out here is that you can’t go to bed until...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 15 Victory Mask

“Damn, I’ve missed you,” I whispered. She giggled. “Wow, I didn’t realize how much!” “Hey now! Hands above the waist!” Heather cuddled up closer to me on the couch as the hubbub carried on in the rest of the great room. After all the greetings and chats following our guests’ arrival, dinner was soon going to be ready. With Frej volunteering to help with what remained of meal preparations, we’d been told to go hang out. Not being one to deny my parents’ wishes, I didn’t think twice to drag...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 18 Mountain Stream

Three girls, three cameras... And me, tagging along, superfluous but certainly enjoying myself. I offered to be their model a few times, but they seemed to prefer photographing each other. And there was the teasing, of course. Endless. “Nice, Muireann!” Heather chirped. “You’ve learned a lot about photography, I can tell.” “She has a good eye,” Shannon agreed. “Matt has been teaching me.” “Which makes it all the more surprising!” Funny... But even there, I was given three cute grins,...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 10 Alizarin and Cobalt

“Welcome to darkroom class,” I announced as Muireann followed me into the darkroom the following evening. She eyed me. “Are you going to lie on the bed again?” I grinned broadly. “I think I might, and let you do the work. Hands-on is the best way to learn, right?” “You’re going to give Tommy a run for the title of laziest boy.” “Am I winning yet?” Muireann just smirked and started blacking out the windows. “I have to admit something,” she said. “What’s that?” “I didn’t realize the...

To Daddy

‘There are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn, and people we can’t live without but have to let go.’ ~Author Unknown It was a normal Monday evening. Puttering around the house, cleaning up small messes, cleaning the hamsters cage. Yes, that’s the part that sticks in my mind. Since that night, I feel a tug of anxiousness in my tummy when the day rolls around to clean that cage. Silly isn’t it? Time freezes, images emblaze...

Virtual Slavery Ch 03

3 Lynn Of course everything changed in Boston. Even in the glorious insanity of that first month in California, I always knew it would. And I assumed Winston did too. But, in retrospect, perhaps he didn’t. At least not that it would change so much. How could he? Even I didn’t know that. It was love at first sight. Imagine the late unlamented Marlboro man suddenly coming to life beside you, but with charm and intelligence. And smiling eyes. Weathered from flying and sailing, not horses. It...

Virtual Slavery Ch 01

Winston There is nothing sexier than a woman saying, ‘I will do anything for you,’ and meaning it. Or thinking she does. Over the now almost four decades that I have been sexually active, several, one could even say many, women have offered themselves to me completely. I don’t deceive myself that every woman wants that. I don’t know that even most women do, though I suspect that, despite trends in sexual politics, they might, at least for a while. But I have always known that it is what I...

Virtual Slavery Ch 12

12 Lynn As the first isolated pinpoints below hesitantly interrupted the solid darkness that I knew was the Mojave Desert, then quickly multiplied into the million glistening lights of the Los Angles Basin, I felt the now familiar tension in my stomach, the quickening of my pulse. I had gone into the bathroom and removed my undergarments as soon as the fasten seat belt sign went out after takeoff, even though I could have waited several hours. I wanted to feel my nakedness, my bare thighs...

Kimiko Ch 03

Please read my story of Kimiko from the beginning. It will make a lot more sense to you then! ——————– Kimiko and I had set out to do a little sightseeing before we returned to Osaka. We spent that day touring ‘J-Town’ in San Francisco and the Golden Gate area before going up to Muir Woods and ending up in Napa. We had booked a room at the River Terrace Inn and had just returned to our hotel room after gorging ourselves on a feast at the Celadon restaurant in town. ——————– ‘Anata (dear),...

Brenda and Connie Ch 05

Meanwhile at the Halloween Party, Connie & Bruce had their own good time. Even though they had known each other for a very brief time, they interacted as if they had known each other for years. Their conversation was absolutely intriguing to each other and as a result they did not need any superfluous activity to keep themselves entertained. They did notice Harry and Brenda leaving together presumably to Harry’s apartment. They then only needed to exchange a few words to determine that they...

Deep Dive Part 5

It was now mid-March, and we were returning home from a month in Bali. During the first week of our trip, we’d focused our attention totally on Michelle, trying to pack as much as we could into seven short days. After she’d returned home to Switzerland, the next three weeks in Ubud had settled into a comfortable routine for Kate and me. Sleep in, make love, sleep some more, explore Ubud, and then make love again. It was a calm, unstructured time: no schedules, no pressures. Our flight back...

In The House of Forgotten Cameras

"Could you help me with my camera?" she asked. I was trying to pull the fog-shrouded pylons of the Golden Gate Bridge into focus on the ground glass of my old view-camera. As if by magic, Jillian's lithe silhouette emerged from the swirling fog. Even in the inverted image on the camera’s focusing screen, she was most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. "Umm… I guess. Sure." I stammered, climbing out from under the camera’s dark cloth. Back then, I was a quintessential San Francisco kid. Skinny,...

The Faculty research vessel, or ‘the floating shithole’ as the Professor nicknamed it had never seemed so welcoming.Loch Morar was the deepest loch in Scotland. At over three hundred metres deep, it was cold and dark. Hazel, along with the rest of the team was supposed to stay on board and use the sonar equipment to track the...

Angel From Down Under

I collected my bags and was rolling the suitcase through JFK airport when I saw her. A young woman hugging a large duffel, sitting on the floor in a corner. Crying. She had light blonde-red hair and very red eyes. She sobbed and watched people passing. Looking almost hopefully as the crowd moved along. Being a lifelong New Yorker I was about to do the usual and mind my business and walk by. Maybe it was the visit to Sarah, some paternal instinct. Maybe it was having nothing in particular to...

Love By The Side of The LakesChapter 5

Sunday, August 24th I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I groaned and rolled over. After a minute I sat up and shook Abby's shoulder. "Honey, it's time to get up." "Do we have to Will?" I pulled on my pants. "Yeah. Get moving." "OK, OK. Are you going to talk with Rob this morning?" "Yes, first thing." I promised. I climbed out or our tent and went to Rob and Cindy tent to wake them. When I got a response from Cindy, I went over to Alex and Terri's tent to get them going....

Somewhere in Time Pocket WatchChapter 9

"Listen to this," she excitedly exclaimed. "Second Officer Charles Lightoller, acting on his own accord, caused the Senior Radio Operator, Jack Phillips to immediately send out a distress call for help. The crew immediately launched distress rockets as Lightoller sent for the Captain. The SS Californian was only twenty miles from the Titanic and they immediately turned about and steamed to aid the floundering ship. The SS Carpathian also answered the transmitted SOS, but they were four...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 14 Florence

June, 1812 Come the evening he instructed Mr. Muir and left the ship in his gig. There were several hackney cabs near the pier waiting for business and he selected the best looking one. “Good ev’ning, Cap’n. Be of help?” “My good man, whereto in this city do you drive officers who are ... out for a night of entertainment?” A sly smile appeared on the man’s face. “Corbley’s Revue Theatre, Sir, is where the prettiest doxies are. It’s a bit on the pricey side, nothing for the likes of me,...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 33 HMS Clyde

January 1814 It was impossible not to fall in love with his new ship immediately. As HM sloop Lark approached the large frigate, Thomas drank in the lines of the hull, the rake of her masts, and the excellent shape. Clearly, her previous captain had spent a considerable amount of his own money on the ship. From the gilded carvings around her stern windows to the masterfully applied paintwork the ship showed the affluence of her former captain. Lt. Warden hove to a cable length from HMS...

The Return of Thomas GreyChapter 40 Visitors

(September 1814) Under its spanker gaff, the barge was slightly lying over to lee as it made its way upriver, easing things for the tow horses. They had passed the new lock at Teddington, completed only three years earlier, and were now approaching the even newer Sunbury lock. Thomas stood on the deck and watched the progress of the craft with mild professional interest. Excepting his journey from Bristol to Guildford almost six years before, he’d had no experience with river navigation, let...

The Second Year and After Chapter 71

Our last few days at work in the frozen vegetable factory were fairly quiet, workwise, although the rain and the equinoctial gales were back with a vengeance, so the caravan now seemed pretty damp and dismal. Despite the bright electric light in the living room, the convector heater and Fred's guitar, the evenings dragged a little, and most of us chose to go to bed early with the hot water bottles and a warm companion to help us ignore the wind whistling around the walls. By now, we'd...

Delta OriginalChapter 22 The Weddings

The brides and grooms were in final preparations. The first three couples were in the tents that were constructed at the end of the aisle. They were getting pimped out for the final walk. They had tossed a coin to decide who got to walk down first and who was next. Sandra and Dave were first, and then Anita and Terry. Leigh and DT were bringing up the rear. Dave wore a tuxedo and the other boys their military dress. The brides and their bride’s maids looked lovely in the dresses that Tammy...

Delta OriginalChapter 2 The Mystical Folk find Futura

Futura got visitors this week. A tribe of Burgis turned up and asked to see the Faerie Queen about using the plains for grazing of their herd of reptii’s. Sparky informed him he had to deal with Lord Lee, as she now owned the plains. This was news to Lee. She decided she and Sparky needed to have a little talk about precisely what she was supposed to own and what she didn’t. Cais Judoc, the head of his little tribe, took Lee, Sean and Dave to see the herd of reptii. Cais wanted to settle...

Surviving 2Chapter 9 Summer 874 AD Strathclyde and Moray

Murdoch mac Duff was ecstatic. His lands cleared of Saxons for the first time in almost two years. He was fulsome in his praise of Scott and the Dalriada men. Despite the fact that his land had been occupied for so long, sufficient beasts were found to have a celebration that evening. Scott sat with Gabrain and his captains listening to mac Duff bemoan the sorry state of his lands. "It is probably too late for planting grain this season and the Saxons have used up all the reserves my camps...

Delta OriginalChapter 18 Knickers

An interesting development occurred this week. The faeries believed they needed to pay for the homes, but they didn’t know-how. Sparky informed Lee of the problem. During lunch, Lee was talking to Sandra and Debora when Deb winged about the quality of lingerie in the replicator. She wished she had her silk knickers back. Kyle added that he missed his silk boxer shorts. That afternoon Lee scrounged through the library for lingerie patterns and printed a heap of patterns out. The next...

Gordy s ProblemChapter 3

I sat in the car for a few minutes. I really didn't want to go back to the office. I thought about the two books by Mountford with paintings by Roberts. Perhaps I could get them for Patrick. I looked up the number of Muir in Nedlands and called. No, they had neither. They suggested Serendipity. I called them to no avail, though the clerk there suggested Bonnie Doon and supplied the number. I spoke to a cheery woman there who said they had two of the three books. Unfortunately, one was First...

Delta OriginalChapter 17 The Faeries Township

Ross and Sparky as their King and Queen couldn’t, of course, stay in such primitive surroundings as a chookhouse. Sean and Lee increased the area of Sparky’s partitioned off corner in their room and got her a bigger bed. So, Ross moved in, and that was where they stayed for the next couple of weeks. While the renovations were taking place, Sparky took Ross to the forest to show him the improvements. She showed him where she thought they should build their new homes. It was near the old...

The Advetures of Connie Von Rummel

The morning after the enchanting evening with Harry Quinn, the MSU Spartans quarterback, Brenda Porter happily walked and at times skipped back to her dorm room. Upon entering the room, Brenda found her roommate, Constance (Connie) Von Rummel sprawled completely naked on her bed sleeping and snoring contentedly. Now in Brenda’s estimation Connie was one of the most attractive and gorgeous female body God has ever created. Consequently it was somewhat distracting to see Connie in the naked state...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 21 Mother Time

I was grateful for the band. Heather’s departures were never a good thing for me, inevitably the start of a long slide down into wistful distance, but the fact that I could go from our final embrace to playing my guitar within fifteen minutes was at the very least a welcomed distraction. “So we need to start thinking about a set for the battle,” I said, once we’d played a few numbers to warm up and clear the farewell feelings as best we could. “We have six originals, so we’ll need another...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 47 The Point of Taking

We arrived at Jonah’s in the early afternoon as arranged. He emerged from the side door of the Castle, grinning broadly. “What’s up, motherfuckers!” “Fella’s in a better mood than usual,” Tommy quipped. “Aye, probably this is his highest form of greeting,” Muireann added. We exchanged fist bumps, handshakes, and shit-eating grins. “This event is going to be the jewel in the Castle’s crown, I’m fucking telling you!” he gushed. “You’ve been busy,” Lara said, looking around at the yard...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 48 Down On My Knees

Sunday was a complete waste. I spent the morning dead to the world, vaguely aware of being moved from Jonah’s cabin to Shannon’s car, and then to Colin’s recliner. At least the world was happy about something, because whenever I was semi-conscious I could mostly hear laughing around me. In retrospect, I was obviously being hidden from my folks until such time that I was with it again; that turned out to be late afternoon. Well, maybe not ‘with it’, but a few hours before dinner I finally...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 19 Burning Fires

Admittedly, I was slightly apprehensive as we pulled into our clearing that evening after our day of skiing. Heather, alone with Tommy all day... The snow was falling heavily again through the headlight beams. Both Frej’s and the Martins’ cars were parked in the same positions they had been that morning, and they remained covered in several inches of snow. Oddly, there were no lights on in the main house. Maybe Muireann was rubbing off on me, because for a few seconds I had a panicked vision...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 22 The Bed That We Made

The week passed slowly and somewhat agonizingly, since Gwen couldn’t rehearse again until the following weekend, and the homework was being laid on thick. I was anxious to make as much progress as we could on the set, which we still hadn’t quite settled on. Certainly as the battle approached, I was imagining more and more how it might turn out, even though I knew that daydreaming about the glories of winning was a dangerous game. Things could turn out so many different ways, surely, but in...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 24 The Regrets of a Fool

Carmen was disappointed but seemed understanding when I called her to let her know that we didn’t have room for her after all. It was a bit strange to talk to her on the phone, something that I didn’t think I’d ever done before. Odd, considering we were together for a while. Then again, this fact was testament to how messed up that time had been for me. Saturday evening arrived, and it was not without some anxiety that we packed the gear into Colin and Shannon’s vehicles. While my moms...

ComrieChapter 2

At breakfast on Dóchas Shannon approached the Command Staff to say, "Could we get together this morning?" "Sure, what's up?" responded Joyce. "Simply put, we think Madeline's and Ursula's groups are at risk." "What?" was the response from several of the Command Staff. "Perhaps it would better to say, we are fairly certain the companies they work for are responsible for people disappearing from enough institutional records to make them invisible." "They've all submitted...

ComrieChapter 64

Sarah's Clan was just getting ready to turn in when Muireann in Intelligence said to them, "We need to discuss a developing situation with you all." "What's up?" "Those three satellites we've been tracking have made some odd changes to their orbital parameters in the last 24 hours." "What do you mean by odd?" "These are supposed to be communication satellites. They are still in essentially a transfer orbit, but with a 48000 km maximum and an 8000 km minimum. Normally they...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 54 Slip Through

Summer was fully ripened now, it being the latter part of July. The chorus of insects was thick in the air as I walked along the last stretch of our road. I was alone; Lara was already home, having left the shelter an hour before I’d swung by to gather her. In fifteen minutes I’d be in the creek, washed clean by Roe, and enjoying my time with her. Or, so I thought. As usual, expectations sure were a bitch. Well, not a bitch this time, but a gorgeous girl that I adored! “Hey there...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 35 Split in Two

“Hello?” Uh oh ... That’s not good... “I don’t like the sound of that,” I said. “The last time you answered ‘Hello’ was—” “Good evening, Matt,” Mairead interrupted. “Oh, hi, Mrs. Martin!” “Heather is not here,” she added, her voice quite amused. I would’ve laughed, except that I suddenly realized how close I’d just been to revealing Heather’s secret. Holy shit... ! Way too close. “I’m sorry about that just now,” I explained, my skin prickling. “Sometimes Heather, well ... She’ll...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 16 Once

I tried delaying our hike for a day. I really did. Although Heather’s ankle was sore after she removed the ski boots in the lodge, by the time we got home it was already feeling a little better. She could certainly get around, since it mostly hurt only when putting sideward pressure on it. Skiing was probably out for a few days, at least, but a walk through the woods was not worth postponing. Or so she said. I was of two minds. Twenty-four hours of extra rest would allow more time for her to...

D chasChapter 35

It was the beginning of the third week at the resort. Sarah's Clan was finishing freshening up before breakfast when Judy said, "Is everyone ready to go?" After looking around Aoife said, "Looks that way to me. Let's do it. I'm hungry." Sarah said, "You know we ought to enter a lottery." "So you still think it is luck?" replied Jill. "Not really. I am still amazed that everyone decided to join us. On top of that there are still a few of those we've contacted who may join...

ComrieChapter 3

By the time Nancy, Adam and Bob arrived in the dining room, nearly everyone else was there. Briana had already introduced Adam's friends to Joyce and her spouses. When they saw Adam, they came right over to him. Adam could tell by their expressions that they were full of questions. At the same time he knew that they weren't upset or dismissive of their surroundings. "Adam," said Todd, "we've noticed several things that puzzle us, and they have triggered our curiosity." The others...

D chasChapter 41

By the time Madeline's, Ursula's and the other 3 groups left for Earth, most of the areas on the space ship had been activated. With that done, they began remodeling the crew quarters to create suites consisting of 2 rooms plus a bathroom. One room served as a combination sitting area and exercise room, and the other was a bedroom. Each suite was large enough to comfortably accommodate four people, with provisions to connect multiple suites so they could easily accommodate larger families....

Shutter ReleaseChapter 20 Sleep in the Dark

Mairead and Aongus left after lunch the next day, forced to end their vacation earlier than Frej and Heather due to the demands of the business they owned. I was indeed grateful for the Danishman’s generosity in allowing Heather to remain for another three days. The Martins’ departure left a rather obvious hole in our daily schedule. After dinner was cleared and we sat around the table, it suddenly seemed remarkably silent. The positive feedback loop between Tommy and Aongus had been...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 13 Everything You Want

“We need to decide what song we’re going to audition with,” I announced, as the five of us settled into the cabin for some rehearsal. Colin looked at me. “Let’s vote then. What are the choices? We have a lot of songs that we know now. Some more than others.” “I’m thinking we should do an original,” I offered. “We have Four Days, Shell Game, Absinthe... And Please Don’t Stop, but since we played that one at the show last year, probably not a good idea.” “Don’t forget Gunkstomp!” Lara...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 8 Tint Shade and Hue

Figuring that the ‘warmest’ part of the day was passing, Lara suggested that if we still wanted to swim, now was the time. Tommy had not forgotten the offer and eagerly agreed, not put off by the frigid air temperature. We put away our guitars and returned to the house to don bathing suits. It was admittedly a bit odd, since Lara and I never did so; pulling jeans over the trunks felt completely alien. Lara had a giant stack of towels in her arms when we met up in the living room. Muireann...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 36 Shooting Star

The scene at Smith Park, when we pulled in around noon, was rather astonishing. The light scaffolds loomed over the stage, and for a long moment I stood by the car door in complete shock. We’re going to be playing on that... ! “Are you coming, lad?” Tommy asked, having already seized his guitar and equipment bag from the trunk. I snapped out of it and went to grab my own things. “Yeah. It’s just that ... it looks pretty damn neat, man.” He grinned. “I’m sure it does. Now let’s go set...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 33 Flames and Scars

On Monday, I was very relieved to get summoned to the principal’s office. Despite the amused looks I got from my classmates, I was feeling pretty high. Dr. Kendall had been silent since our meeting the previous week, a bit worrisome since the time before May wasn’t exactly abundant. But I trusted in his promise, and now it seemed we’d be shifting into gear. When I stepped into his office, another man was already sitting in one of the chairs. He looked vaguely familiar. I took the initiative...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 46 Bleed Again

It was early evening on Sunday and the final music marathon was coming to an end, our last opportunity for rehearsing as a full band before Jonah’s concert the following weekend. Gwen was particularly intent about everything, calling out any and all problems she heard, and by now we didn’t question her judgment or ear. The only unknown was if we had the skill to do whatever she asked of us. Usually we did, even if it meant practicing it thirty times. Or more, in my case... But now it was...

Fae Touched

Ivan stared at the wooden ceiling as slowly his body flushed out the last remnants of adrenaline and excitement. It was his last free day, before he would have to report for duty. The draft had come and now, Ivan's future was in jeopardy. There would be a quick intense training before he'd be shipped off to Europe. Fighting in a war so big, some say it might end the world as they knew it. Ivan knew there was a slim chance he'll return. It wasn't just enemy bullets that would try to kill...

Shutter ReleaseChapter 32 Coming into View

I was just about to make a call when Lara poked her head into my room. “Back to the telephone life, huh?” she said, giving me a sympathetic look. “Yep. Hard times again.” “You could’ve been born a hundred years ago,” she observed, “and then you wouldn’t even have had the phone.” “If I’d been born a hundred years ago, I would’ve missed out on her completely. And on you too, sis ... But I’m glad for the phone either way.” Lara nodded thoughtfully. “True. Come up to the cabin when you’re...

The Video Hood

THE VIDEO HOODSperrington Lochmuir knelt in tired resignation. A new hood? Could there be a more onerous burden than the heavy old hood, heavy leather completely covering Sperry’s head and shoulders?Whenever Sperry’s wife Cyrilla had her big parties, she’d bind Sperry naked in the middle of the room, while everyone was still clothed and socializing. This was humiliating enough, as people wore their most formal evening clothes—designer gowns and tuxedoes –and enjoyed martinis and champagne in...
