This is a teaser, taking up where Premonitions ends. #1 Clora and Mark sat in the 'Family room' of the funeral home, the heavy black curtain shielding them from the many curious glances turned their way. Clora sat quietly, holding Mark's hand as he sat carved in stone. The aftermath of the...

I found this recently and thought others might like it. It's a short story written and posted by HalfFast (author of Lights Out) in 2005. It's about a hasty bugout by a suburban family and the challenges they faced trying to get to family at a rural farm. The complete short story is...

The Tunnel Chapter 1 of The Tunnel (V2.0)

While "Second Chance" is now complete (whew!) I still have some remains left over that didn't really "fit" into the story. Or would have prolonged it unnecessarily. So instead of just tossing them out, I spent a few hours connecting them and making a short story follow up of sorts. I'm calling...

Introduction SHIFT was originally posted in an earlier, unrevised form at Frugals some time ago (pre-Fiction Nuke). Some folks had expressed interest in seeing the final version, but some of them "disappeared." Now I know why. Since this book now exists as an eBook in a variety of formats...

Still feeling cruddy but better. Hubby decided since I couldn't get away to rest that he would steal me and the three younger kids away for a couple of days and come up here to the BOL. Oldest son conspired with him and he is keeping an eye on the house while we have it re-roofed. I slept...

I know some folk think I must read a lot, and I do, but whenever I run up on something worth reading IMHO I like to offer up a way for others to read it if they are interested., On a thread about repurposing things I mentioned a story I had read some time ago, and then I went and reread it...

Some of you are bound to remember this one but some might not. It was originally posted over at the parsimonous tree rat forum but since it isn't there any longer I thought I would put it in the archives here. Looking over it I realize there are some awful editing mistakes so I'll try and clean...

E&E Chapter One I didn’t have any love for any of the Laws who guarded the Prison. I was locked away without just cause and they were the ones who stood between me and Freedom.

This is the first chapter of a book I wrote. I'd like to know if anyone likes the story and would like me to continue posting it and any constructive criticism is welcome. The story as indicated by the title is about a bad scenario happening just as many of us doomers have talked about. It also...

New writer who is "one of us" has a book out. Easy, quick read. Nothing mind blowing but a fun read that's not too heavy while still being in the survival genre. Kind of along the lines of Rawles, Braken, Tom Sherry, etc but with more humor and doesnt take stuff too seriously. ...

When we were care taking the hunting lodge they let us run a small store rather than pay us. The store was only open in the summer come winter it was sometimes hard to find where the store was actually due to snow drifts. Visitors were few and far between more than a month would go by with out...

Clora stood on the porch thanking the ladies of the church fellowship for coming to the family's rescue; the marathon cleanup after the 'home invasion' a herculean task. Sandy, Lainey and Cheryl echoed their thanks, standing propped against the porch railing. Heartsick and flooded with emotion,...

#1 The resulting uproar shook the rafters as voices yelled in protest and people scattered from the slippery, odoriferous droplets Inky, Ruby and Junior seemed hell bent on sharing with their unappreciative people. "Oh gag!" Clora hollered with feeling. "Out dogs, get out! Open the freakin door...

Does anyone remember reading a homebrew survival story that was written in (what I remember as) a homesteading forum, in a series of posts several years ago? I never finished reading it and can't find it in my bookmarks. I recall that is had a community banding together to develop and till...

#1 The assassin crept back through the woods, circling the long way around and crouching to watch the Apperton house activity. The kids were in and out of the house until lunch time and they settled down inside with the meal bars their mother had given them. Tammy moved slowly in and opened...

Amazing what comes to you in the form of dreams brought on from a bit of bad pork. This story will likely be shorter than most as it is moving quite fast. If you like it I'll finish it, if not ... well, my imaginings have to go someplace or they crowd up my head too much. LOL! FEL BY THE...

This is a little something I started a few weeks ago. I still don't know if I'll add to it or not. It can stand on it's own, I think, or it can also be the start of a larger story. Either way, I decided to share it with you guys. Happy Holidays! Bad ********** They were finished.

#1 "Grandma, I've got a problem." Sandra poked at her supper, uninterested in what there was to eat. "There's this kid at school that wants me to go to the dance with him. I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I'm not very interested. Evie put down her fork and gave Sandy her consideration. At...

I found an app to use to keep a list on my desktop of the stories on the different web sites and let me edited it when a new chapter is posted. I found this in the Apple Apps store but there must be others out there for other computers. The name of the one I found is Delectus. It's set up so you...

When I owned my dog sled tour business there were a few times when I probably shouldn't said what I said but I did it anyway. One morning as I was assisting a female client into the dog sled she really liked my hat. Then she asked what the fur was made of I blurted out "Slow Dog" looking at her...

Really. Seem normal to me but I have years and years of these written down so thought I'd share and see what the response is. Week of Feb 23-28. 1] I'm in an open pavillion in the lobby of a large, multi-floor Hotel. Something like one might see in Vegas with lots of lights, shops and...

<b>August 01, 2002: 3:34 Eastern Time</b> John Horne set down his coffee cup and once again addressed his screen. No matter how many times he recalculated the new budget there wasn't any escaping the fact that at least one member of the office staff was going to have to be laid off. ...

This one is unfinished, but I'm up to 60k words. Hopefully I'll be able to complete it so that there aren't long posting delays. You have seen some of the characters before in other stories. http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?396085-Children-s-Crusade&p=4261084#post4261084
