Ever since I can remember my little red-headed brother has been hyper. Up until the age of 10 he had nine emergency room happenings. I can still see the skin peeling off of his little baby shin with his little white toddler shoes on. He had put his leg into the bathroom sink and turned on the scalding hot water. This was our first trip to the Emergency Room.

My parents used to have to tie him up on a long rope in the backyard to a tree. We would be outside with him, my mom sitting on the back porch cement step watching him and playing with him. I can remember sitting in the sandbox with him and playing. All of a sudden he’d get up to run, and just like a dog, fall down when he ran out of rope and scream his head off! You see, even though my mom was right there watching him, she was not fast enough to catch him on his wild whims to get up and run away! One of the neighborhood ladies could not stand my mother. She thought this was child abuse. Even though I was only 10-years-old or 11-years-old, I told my mom to ignore her as it was better that my little brother was safe instead of getting run over by a car on the road. (more…)

It was raining very heavily. Dark monstrous clouds had gathered and filled the sky.  Now and again lightning flashed across the sky illuminating the road ahead. Soon he was on the pathway leading to his bungalow. It was exactly then that the electricity went out plunging the entire area into darkness. As he got out of the car he became conscious of the eerie silence, but for the sound of the rain. He has been coming here for years but never had it been like this. The silence was broken then and again only by the howling of the unruly wind, which fiercely raged. He found it increasingly difficult to open and steady the umbrella.  As he started to walk he realized that he was knee deep in muddy water. Hauling himself, he slowly but steadily made his way to his house. He was shivering with cold as he felt that he was now fully wet and the wind made him feel chillier. (more…)

Teegan squinted as he shielded his eyes from the mid day suns. Circon was a mostly uninhabited planet and the one spaceport that served its only large city was always congested and filled with the exhaust of hundreds of ships as they came and went with their live cargo. Two suns burned brightly in the sky making Teegan’s job even hotter.

“Get that Jargel onboard” called one of the senior officers from the platform below the ship.” Teegan pulled the rope looped around the neck of a large lumbering creature that wobbled slightly as it loped up the gangplank.

“We don’t have all day” Kane snapped next as he thread his way between squawking crates, “I want those crates of bird looking things loaded next.”

Dr. Lang is going to try his procedure for the sixth time. In 2018 he discovered he could literally get into another person’s skin and feel how that person feels. Amazing? Yes. With many experiments he discovered he was able to transplant another person’s cells into his body and for one day the other person’s feelings and thoughts took over. The reason it only works for one day is the cells usually reject Dr. Lang’s body and start to die.

Today is the first time Dr. Lang is going to test out how a serial killer thinks and feels. Dr. Lang is ecstatic yet nervous. Dr. Lang is in his lab and ready to scrape the cells from convicted killer Jeffery Dahmer.

Finally! At age 36 I am getting my first computer. This was nine years ago. For over four years I had wanted to get a computer. What or who was holding me back? My husband. He wanted to wait even though we had the money. Story of our lives. Now that the economy is not the greatest, hey, I realize he’s right to save money.

I remember feeling excited and being anxious bringing the computer home. I’d almost compare it to bringing home our first baby–almost. When my husband and I were setting it up it was scary. We did not want to break anything on this futuristic technology thing.

Finally the computer was good to go! I remember e-mailing was so much fun. Here I was one of the biggest snail mail writers. I had twenty two pen pals. I could not wait to read what was going on in other people’s lives. I could not wait to write and tell people what was going on in our lives. Now I could get instant gratification! We could send photos to each other at the snap of a button. Wow. Life does not get any better than this, I thought.

Little Timmy was playing tag again outside. His mother was watching him through the farmhouse kitchen window while she was doing dishes. She smiled and thought what a vivid imagination Timmy has.

Timmy was running and giggling as if someone was chasing and playing with him. He had his favorite teddy bear from his grandpa snuggled tightly under his arm.

Timmy’s mother was happy the four year old could entertain himself so well. Living seven miles from other homes made it difficult to make play dates with other children. In three months, Timmy would have a little sister and his mother hoped that Timmy would not be jealous of the new arrival.

Ever since Timmy’s grandmother passed away seven months ago, Timmy has had nightmares. He would wake up screaming and calling for his grandmother. Night after night this horrifying situation for their son ripped little Timmy’s parent’s hearts out.

It was along walk from the village to the fair. Maureen had little Betty secure in her arms as she tried to keep pace with Roger her brother- in- law. The slightly undulating landscape soon made her breathless and the nearest stall was the only refuge for the moment. She was famished and suggested they have lunch first. Several wayside stalls were open and they entered one.

The strong aroma of spiced meals wafted throughout the shabby shop as the perspiring maid served the dishes to the customers. Fatigued and ravenous from the long walk, Maureen gulped down all that she could of the steaming stuff. Roger sat at a corner, conversing with a couple of men, relishing his dish. Maureen knew those shady characters but was too tired to think about their link with Roger. Betty, her two year old daughter was asleep by now. A few more miles and the fair ground would be in view, thought Maureen. Though the meal was a sumptuous one, she didn’t have the strength to move out. Sleep has extended its caressing arms about her and she gradually leaned on to the wall, totally oblivious of the surroundings. Little did she know that the laced meal she had taken innocently would now reshape her life.
