Lewis has awaken, his memory is a little murky, there's something fishy with his surroundings. *** All advice/crit most welcome. ***

Animal experimentation, even with the most noble of motives, is always going to be controversial - and the public isn't always going to learn the truth.

Just ahead of them was the wooden bridge and beyond that, the green foothills and the distant naked spine of the sierra.

On Joe's girlfriend Julia, and how he got together with his cousin when Julia went for aspirin

Alison phones Joe two days after their separation. Their conversation offers the first clue as to what went wrong

A patient with a history and a nurse with a vocation.

This is a bit of a 'What if?' story. I'd like to think civilization wouldn't go too far in one direction or the other. But, it seems to go more wrong with each passing day. And just a note, this is not so much sci-fi as future.

Essential reading for authors.

By popular demand.... I just hope I've done it justice....

Would you agree to be the guinea-pig for a potion developed by a dying scientist - if he refused to tell you what its effects might be? This is something new for me, since it's the first time I've tried to tackle a specific issue, relevant to modern life, in a story. But does it work? (It's not exactly sci-fi, but I have trouble with the genre choices)

Chapter Ten. George unwisely questions his company's CEO.

I was putting out the rubbish when a loud giggle caused me to look up.

We've all been there.......

Where is Barry Manilow?

I was putting out the rubbish when a loud fart caused me to look up...

This is a very simple little story that came to me while I was sitting in a Walthamstow cafe just before closing time...

Final part

If 'Good but not Joanna' tickled your fancy (and thank you for all the kind and thoughtful comments) then prepare for more tickling. It's a bit rude, and a bit raw but that's what makes sex such fun. As Woody Allen said: Is sex dirty? Only if it’s done right.

I haven't written flash for a while. Thought I'd give it a go. It's not my best.

Second part of "Sweet revenge" Her plan for revenge gets into full swing with victim number 1

Just a simple bit of DIY? Comments welcome.

Magic makers the world over exist in all sorts of places. Where ever humans live and work there is a shaman, a wizard or a soothsayer. I read about this river and decided that there was a story there. I would mark this as a tragedy as well as a drama and a horror/fantasy piece.

Some things are better left unsaid.....

My first attempt at an adult story A story of rape and revenge, has strong language in places

Chapter 4. George is summoned to HR.

"You can't keep a good man down... but a swift konk on the crown... can sure enough put him there." James R. Beam 1946

There was the added distraction of the wind. Gordon had three notebooks with him and to keep them open to the pages he wanted, he kept his foot on one of them, a piece of driftwood on another and the third one on his lap.

The chains draw the characters closer together. But as chains do, they also begin to bind. Whilst Jamie, Howard and Allen are relaxing in the jazz club, Roya is alone .....

Sam and Damien start their journey...

Chapter 8. George remembers.

Matthew meets Pla

Feedback and crit welcome as usual. My Overall word count at this stage is 17,750 approx.

George loved a woman twenty-years ago. Obsessively he misses her. Then she writes. I've categorized this under Romance, but not at all sure it fits!

She wasn’t getting any younger and Stanley was looking better to her every day.

A rude awakening

Poor Jenna, recovering from a broken heart has ended up breaking Nino's heart.

This is only a summary of the first chapter of a project novel of mine, I decided to submit it to the test of others reading it.

A short one.....
