Author’s Note: Hey everyone. Here’s a fun and quirky story by friend of the page Charles Bucklin. This reminds me of my first ride on my last bike. I ran into a stop sign. Yes a stop sign. On a bike. This story is a lot more fun than that one. Make sure to stop …

Why Not
Sharon’s notes: If you haven’t noticed, I like looking at different takes of popular literary tropes. I like a good broody-man-comes-out-of-nowhere-and-tells-the-woman-they-are-destined-for-each-other romance as much as anyone. But just once I’d like the sudden romantic lead to be an actual nice guy. And you know what they say, if you want something done, you have to …
King of Stories: Scene 1
James’s Note: This is a bit of a weird piece. I wasn’t really sure what to call it. Think of it as the script to a musical, or maybe a poetry version of a rock opera. Whatever it is, I hope you enjoy it. ( The scene opens on Ren, who does not yet know …
Griffin’s First Flight
James’s Note: This is another installment in the Project: Golem series. We follow the pilot and Golem from our first story on their first mission. It’s just a shakedown run. I’m sure everything will go smoothly, right? This is a transcript of the pilot’s log recorded on HMG Striking Griffon’s first field operation. This is …

Both my husband and I wanted more stories about …

Assumptions
Sharon’s Note: A special treat this week, a story by special guest writer, Lee McMullen. It’s a fun jaunt into one of the few universal truths, that there’s always a bigger fish. Warning: We all know what assume makes out of you and me. Near midnight the southern country noises were good enough for any …
The Trials of Marrying a Vampire: Home Decorating
Sharon’s note: The over arching themes of these particular stories is basically the importance of communication with your significant other. This starts with no matter what, remembering that you and your partner are on the same side against whatever the issue is. If it becomes an argument of you against them, that’s when problems start …

Welcome to Project: Golem
James’s Note: This is the first installment in a new series. My love of scifi and giant robots goes way back. I think you’ll find this world gets it’s DNA from all over the place. From Pacific Rim and the Battletech universe, to Titan Fall and space operas. The setting draws on the European colonial …
