My first post here. Hunger, Hunger, Sister Anne was on top of a stack of short stories that needed that final pre-launch going-over. Committing to posting pushed me to wrap the story (instead of rethi ... more

If you found an artifact from the future, what you would bargain for to return it? Gold? Stock tips? A burrito?

Whitney and Tommy Leighton are more than they appear to be. The twins were born in our dimension, but it wasn't just a birth. It was a rebirth. They originated in a another dimension that runs along the same parallel as ours. In the other world, Whitney is a Baran-Dok-Toi Prim warrior, and Tommy is a Prectock, but they know nothing about that. Other than the strange dreams that Tommy is beginning to have.

I put another chapter in the queue. I am doing about two chapters in a week recently, which is more than I had planned. By the way, I recall in Star Trek TOS the Gorn, which I thought would be a good name for a drinking establishment.

Daylight sometimes hides secrets that darkness will reveal--the Martian's glowing eyes, for instance. But darkness has other dangers....

Wives always try to cure husbands of bad habits, even on lonely asteroids!

If this was true, there ought to be another edition of What Every Young Girl Should Know!

A Twinfinity Story (4)
The steely requirements from a Prim warrior from where she originated. The elusive advice from a prophet she once fought side by side with. Whitney Leighton has vowed to return to Kat what Isolem Treff took from her, but Isolem has also vowed to end the twins before they can foil his plans. The twins may believe they have the upper hand, but Isolem took more than just a piece of Kat. He took a part of the twins as well and he is more of a threat now than he ever was before.

Hi gals and guys, I have posted a couple stories I got motivated to write. There will probably be a few mistakes in there but nothing too prominent. Enjoy what I am writing and have fun. Thanks. Chaon.

They arrived from deep space and ignored us. When they left, they left scars all over the planet and especially on our souls. We didn't know who they were or why they came, but when they left, we knew what they had done.

An extra chapter has gone up. We already had collusion with pirates, and obstruction of justice (and abduction of one of the investigating team). Now we have the team presenting their report with ample evidence.

How does the world end? Not with a bang or a whimper but with an oops.

Sick and helpless, he was very lucky to have a faithful native woman to nurse him. Or was he?

Open the C. Cydwick Ohms Time Door, take but a single step, and--

What will happen when the alien ships strike Earth? And later? Who will survive? What will life be like in that latter-day jungle? William F. Nolan, well known in SF circles on the West Coast, returns with this grim story of the days and the nights of Lewis Stillman--survivor.

How black is the blackest treachery? Is the most callous traitor entitled to mercy? Steve pondered these questions. His decision? That at times the villain should possibly be spoken of as a hero.

At least a contributing factor to the current cycle of science fiction movies being made in Hollywood is the touchiness of minorities having their nationals being portrayed as villains. Cinema-makers are now trying to avoid further boycotts by using space aliens for villains. But suppose some of our Extraterrestrial neighbors are also a bit touchy?

I just put chapter five in the queue, I've been having fun and got a bit ahead of schedule. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Thank you for all the feedback I have had so far.

There's a song that says "it's later than you think" and it is perhaps lamentable that someone didn't sing it for Henry that beautiful morning....

Heroism is merely daring and ingenuity--at the age of ten--experience can come later!

Benson did his best to keep his colony from going native, but what can you do when the Natives have a rare human intelligence and know all about the facts of life?

A man with a past, not tied to anyone makes a startling discovery that changes his life and his perceptions of it.

A Twinfinity Story (3)
She was born blind and deaf, like the rest of the Prim, but she wasn't accepted by the rest of the Prim because she was born of a human father and mother. Panpar, a prophetic dreamer, told them of a legend--The Pockets of the Prim--that would enable them to fight the other Prim who controlled the inner walls of the city. Possessing The Pockets would enable Jo-Laina and her sister Jo-Vanna to overcome the Prim, take back the city, and allow the rest of the city their true birth-rights.

The history of man becomes fearfully and wonderfully confusing with the advent of interstellar travel. Of special interest to the legally inclined student is the famous Skrrgck Affair, which began before the Galactic Tribunal with the case of _Citizens vs. Skrrgck_.

Generally speaking, human beings are fine buck-passers--but there's one circumstance under which they refuse to pass on responsibility. If the other fellow says "Your method won't solve the problem!"--then they get mad!

What defense could she raise against mutant science--telepathy, invisibility, teleportation--especially since Earth was not aware of its danger!
