Put them here, if you would.

This is the Beginning of a Science Fiction story that looks as though it may be Horror for awhile, but comes back to Straight SF. Probably won't post anymore until it's done..... Should I decide to continue..... Does it grab y'all? Bright

I really want to do a Story soon about a Prolonged Drought accompanied by steadily rising Fuel Prices..... But in the meantime, an old story idea keeps coming back to taunt me. You've all seen stories about Alternate Universes..... But most of them are a Secret. Think of "Sliders" or...

This is another story I've posted elsewhere. It continues the story of David and his family. Here is a link to "My name is David": http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?402324-My-Name-Is-David Uncle Ben Part 1 My name is David and I live with my sister Mary Ann and Uncle...

Friends, I'm wanting to do a story about what it would be like to live through a Long and Severe drought here in America. Can't seem to dig up much Good Data. How much would the rain have to decrease to really cause widespread hunger and suffering here in America? At what point do you...

Here is another story I posted on Frugal's. It is the first part of David Fontaine's story. Enjoy. My Name is David My name is David. Today we went to live in the basement. I don’t like the basement much, it smells funny and the walls get wet when it rains. When you turn the lights out...

Gosh and Gollies..... Never felt called upon to post a Firearm Post here. Then I find out that there doesn't seem to be a Weapon Sub-Forum. O well..... I haven't tried this yet myself, but I'd love to. This fellow is loading 185 Grain .357 Magnum Bullets slightly hot. He claims to be...

Just heard that weaver at frugals put out on the board that the patriot fiction section is closed and is not up for discussin below is the email copy i got ohsohappy6 Grey Squirrel Join Date: Jun 2009 State: Louisiana Posts: 1,810 ...

I read a PA story online some time ago, and can't remember where I saw it or its name. I know it wasn't on the Squirrel site because I never did get access to it. Here's what I remember (unfortunately I may be mixing two different stories) A man is travelling across a fairly empty America. I...

There was a story that started on the Frugal board just before it went away, and I was hoping it was posted somewhere else. It was about a couple that retired from the east coast to a farm. The husband stayed at the old house while it was being sold and he packed it up. He still had a little...

This isn't fiction, but I thought people here might appreciate it, especially if they are about to think 'yeah right' to a coincidence in a story. My husband sells vegetables at a Farmer's Market and stands beside a lady named Fran. The market has a curb where the vendors stand and there's...

In case you didn’t see it on the news, there was an alien invasion here in Central Washington a couple of months ago. Yup its true, big ugly gooey things showed up wanting to set themselves up as the top dog in the neighborhood. Most people don’t know what happened since the military clamped down...

Is it worth continuing? .....RVM45 :cool::shkr::cool:

This is the first installment of a story I have been working on for a year + now. It was started as a companion piece to another story started on AssaultWeb by a fellow called Hard Rock. He was shooting up so many patriots I thought a system of underground hopsitals was called for, since they were...

As most of you know,I'm disabled. Money is mighty tight, and getting tighter. HG Wells--Who I never cared for all that much; and Robert Heinlein--who I liked without slavishly worshiping--are two examples of writers forced to write by an inability to do almost any other form of work. {As...

Trial Balloon for a Story: Wayside Chapter One

I am trying to locate 2 stories from the cheap Sciuridae tree before they chop off the branches. The first one the main character has a wife that is in a wheel chair and the last thing I had read was he had just found his kids at his parents house but his parents were not there. The second...

The comma says "Let's slow down for a second here". The period says "We better just stop right here". I found this very helpful. :p

Does Scrachline have any new stories anywhere? Thanks!

Years ago I read a story about a man who threw a rock through a window of the local politician's office. Then it happened elsewhere, and next thing he knew it was happening all over. Does anyone know the story I read? What was the title and who was the author? It was at least 20 years ago I...

Here we go again. From what I've been given so far, hold on tight. Chapter One "What are we going to do, Glenn?" Marsha asked her husband. "There's no way the four of us can get by on so little food." After the earthquake that had so devastated California and the massive hurricane that...

My atomic mailbox stand has been acting up lately. As many of you know, I ‘acquired’ an old but live Atlas atomic warhead at an Air Force surplus auction about 8 years ago. After a series of issues that resulted from trying to employ it as the pump power supply for my backyard water feature, I...

Last Day He would have much preferred to send her an e-mail or even a text but he owed her the truth. The last 24 hours or so had finally awoken him to the reality that guided their lives and he had been much happier when he was still clueless about how bad things really were. He was a little...

Not a 'Zombie Christmas Story', but a Christmas story with zombies.

Hi all! It has been a loonnnggg time since I last posted on TB2K. While much has changed, one positive item, for me at least, is I have gone back to writing fiction again. I posted a few short stories on "the other place" but up until recently, had not posted anywhere else with the exception of...

this is something I started the other night. It will be a short story more then likely. However I thought you might like it. The Burning Days: This story is copyrighted and owned solely by the me. I may post it to websites so people can offer feedback but I hold all rights. Seth walked...

This is something I wrote a few years ago after a friend lost a beloved dog. She was looking for something for her children who'd never suffered the loss of a pet. I lost this, kept trying to find it then today, decides to sit down & rewrite the danged thing. *** Radar’s Rainbow Radar...

I dont know if this has been posted here before,but I've seen posts of former squirrels looking for the fiction that was at F£Ù&@l §qui££Œl's before being pulled. http://web.archive.org/web/20071021053129/http://frugalsquirrels.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=forum;f=64 Matt

There have been several posts over the last few months of people wanting help to find the name of a story from the old fiction section at FS. Well, I decided to see if I could find the names of those stories since I knew which ones they were talking about but the name was at the tip of my tongue. ...

Greetings y'all. I want to first thank Deena in GA for making these forums available for us to read these awesome stories and for a place for the authors to place their stories for everyone to read. I also want to thank you authors for your awesome stories, especially Kathy, Grand, Deena and...

Friends, Steve is an awesome writer who specializes in Post Apocalyptic Fiction. He has a tiny Forum that very seldom keeps more than two or three active members. I thought that his stories deserved wider distribution--hence I asked his permission to post them on some Forums, and he...

Here's the website: THE REVELATION Only the Prologue and 5 Chapters written so far -- I'm posting each chapter as I write it. The aesthetics of the website make it a bit hard to read with the white font on black screen. If you go over to the right-hand column, you'll find a link to the PDFs...

This is a Wonderfully imaginative story by my Friend Steve Bartok. He gave me permission to post it where I would, so long as he got credit. The New Darkness PART 0001

SF about a subtle form of Germ Warfare Payback

After writing 40 entertaining short stories called Grantbo’s Misadventures I decided to try something completely new and different. I put out a more serious short story called ‘The Event’. It seems to have gone over pretty well, so I’ve decided continue developing this story into a full length...

Hi.... I am having difficulty finding the story, "All Your Eggs In One Breadbasket." Also, I believe there was a sequel. I do not even remember where I read it...just that I did. Thank you so much for helping. Darn old brain...:screw: hummer

The people we met at the Out Post. During the last 3 years we were at the Out Post we got to open a very small store, When we were care taking the hunting lodge they let us run a small store rather than pay us. In the store we sold worms, night crawlers, fishing tackle, candy and pop. The store...

Didn't want to mess with the storyline so I'll start a thread for the kudos. :) Nice to see you back writing, sir! It has my interest. RR
