Descendants #69 – One Week Chp.5
This entry is part 44 of 44 in the series CurrentSaturday
The bell hanging over the entrance to ‘Plaza Costumes and Party Supplies’ tinkled as Cyn and Ollie came in. Both were slightly sweaty from a pick-up game of tag Cyn had challenged some local kids to and still laughing at having spent most of the early afternoon acting like a couple of middle-schoolers.
Ollie took in the large and jumbled space that greeted them with amused appreciation. There were racks of full body costumes, masks hangi...

These Things I’ve Learned
My career in writing for the internet started in the spring of 2003 when I became the writer/webmaster for Ledgermain Comics alongside my best friends (whom some of you will recognize as Pele from the forums). Ledgermain ran for three years with moderate success that saw us invited to
Marscon
and caused my paths to cross with such future heavyweights in the industry as
Rich Burlew
and
Rob Balder
.
Possibly because of the misspelled name, Ledgermain didn’t last forever (though to this day we sti...

Descendants: LA #19 – Wolverine Publicity (Part 1)
This entry is part 7 of 7 in the series Descendants: LA Volume 2“Did you know that for the past five years, LA’s been number three in the nation in spending on public transportation spending?” Asked Felix over the comms.
“I’m not sure how that’s relevant,” said Josh, who was riding on Lydia’s telekinetic surfboard along with Ray. “Or why you looked up that statistic.”
“Just pointing out how stupid it is that traffic is still this bad!” Felix groused. He was on foot and running hard down a stree...

Descendants #69 – One Week Chp.4
This entry is part 43 of 43 in the series CurrentFriday
“Hi, Babs? Lillian Goldenmeyer.”
From the penthouse apartment she shared with her friends, Lily had a great view of the entire Dayspring College campus through the bay windows.
Despite only making calls, she was dressed for business; a navy wool blazer and skirt combo over a white, pleated silk blouse, stockings and modest pumps. She was also wearing non-prescription glasses because they made her feel more professional.
“Oh. Yes, you prefer...

Lessons Learned From B-Movies
Greetings, dear readers. First, let me take a moment to apologize for the lack of a blog last Friday and Chapter 4 of Descendants #68 this past Monday. You might already know why from the post I threw up Friday from my local library, but some might not (plus, it’s actually the setup for this week’s blog).
Tuesday night, a snowstorm hit my area . If you follow Twitter, you might have heard people in Washington DC making fun of the fact that they didn’t get anything more than a dusting or even co...

The Spider’s Seven #17 – The Visitation
This entry is part 18 of 18 in the series The Spider's SevenSomewhere in Kurdistan
“We are here, mister.” said the driver of a jeep Anansi had hired for his trip north from Arbil.
Anansi glanced up from his tablet to see what looked like a small town built around what looked like a huge scar in the dusty earth. Tents and pre-fab buildings sprang up wherever there was flat ground to build on with metal panels and sometimes just planks of wood laid down over the secondary fissures that radiated o...

Blog Canceled Due to Inclimate Weather
A powerful snowstorm swept through my region Tuesday night, resulting in a power outage Wednesday that continues to this very moment. Thanks to this, I am unable to access any of my work to schedule it for this site.
With luck, my power will be back by the time the main series is to update (Monday morning), but I regret to inform my readers that I am unable to post a blog post for Friday.
To make up for this gap in your leisure time, allow my recommend some alternatives:

Liedecker Institute: Generation Aflame #13
This entry is part 13 of 13 in the series LI: Generations AflameJust a brief glance at Kura’s handiwork on the mountainside left Maya with the sensation of standing on a ship in stormy seas. She turned away from the sight completely and screwed her eyes shut just as Tammy’s lighting bolt blasted a branch off a nearby tree.
The noise was terrible, as was the answering chatter of the leader trying to return fire both without looking at the disabling mural Kura created and while hunched over, emp...

The gray light of morning had just started filtering in through October overcast when Claude Roth came out of his house, ready to start another day on Finch Hill Farm, just a dozen miles outside of Mayfield.
The main body of the farm, where the profitable crop of soy beans, genetically engineered to produce the marker proteins that were increasingly necessary to DNA therapy and biomedical research was grown, was housed in a series of lon...

‘There have been some unexpected results in our animal trials. Rietta believes that these are flaws, but I am convinced that they are absolute proof that what we have created is closer to the original phenomena than we could have dreamed. According to the missive I received this morning, the Emperor agrees.’
