Adventure
With hesitant steps the young man approached Amelia, still
tense and waiting on the bed, unsure of what was to come next.
"You are Amelia Jameson, correct?"
The young man speaks!
Amazing.
Now, I know you're just waiting to know what comes next, but
you'll have to wait. I do not care a
hill of beans if you are impatient, for patience is a virtue.&nbs...

Scarlet whistled a cheerful tune as the Mañana crew made their way down to the docks of Grand Bahama. It was late morning and the sun shone brightly, but its rays were calmed by a cool breeze that swept through the streets.
"Not as crowded as yesterday," Revloc remarked.
"Nope, people are just starting ...

Now free from the confines of the graveyard and the threat of Angus Mac's goons, Vic led Matthew down several alleyways and back to his office where, from across the street, Vic could see 6 more of Angus's crew through the front window. He stopped Matthew with a hand to his chest and watched the men.
"Shit," Vic mumbled. Just then, the gang from the graveyard drove up outside the office. "More shit. Okay, time ...

Adventure
The sky was cloudless and clear, the sun dappling through the branches overhead. Low growls could be heard as animals passed by a small grove in the woods. A young wolf cub wandered from his mother, and curious, entered the clearing.
The scent of blood and the sound of pain hit the cub’s nose and ears immediately, even before he saw the older wolf in the center of the circle of trees, writhing in agony, he...

He went to the park and sat on the bench there by the little pond and was feeding the geese. Zax was in love with going to the park because it made him feel free and careless. He could relax and just take it easy there on that park bench. The little pond was beautiful today, the suns reflection off the water and the cherry trees in the background would almost take your breath away. There was a cool breeze coming from the southeast and it was bl...

Ace Of Spades
The cold hard lead pumped into the man’s body seemed excruciatingly gratifying to him,
and he did it again, and again, till his magazine was empty.
He turned around. The corridor was rapidly filling up with men with automatics, all out for his
blood.
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man -
You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me!
He clenched his ...

What a complete waste of time that was. A four hundred mile round trip to St James’ Park and a whole day out to see them play like a bunch of nancies and lose five nil to Newcastle. It wouldn’t have been too bad if the opposition were something special, and now this filthy weather all the way back home if, that is, he could get out of this infernal road works traffic jam. Barry Marshall was in a really bad mood, not only had his tea...

The crew escaped into town avoiding the guards. It was a clear afternoon with a bright sun pummeling the crowded market streets. Dust filled the air, with all the market bustle. The crew made their way through this market feeling at ease hidden among the noisy crowd. Scarlet motioned to a small pub and the other followed her in. They slowly entered the pub letting their eyes adjust to the darkness. Scarlet took a seat at a booth in the corner o...

Adventure
The brig door was kicked open by none other than Scarlet herself, with Yasac being dragged behind her by two soldiers and the captain of the ship following the rear. Both Yasac and Scarlet had been stripped of their weapons and coats. Scarlet's frilly white shirt had been dirtied but still looked as fashionable without her long vest. Yasac however looked much thinner without his long coat. His worn white tunic was patched in many places along w...

I'm driving so fast that I can barely see where I am going as tunnel vision takes over. My hand is cupped over my mouth to avoid the blood from spraying onto the windshield. I'm sweating. I can feel the beads rolling down my cheek like small tears tickling their way to my lap. My hair whips my face as I fly down the highway with an open window.
"What the hell is happening to-"

Adventure
Nick stood there on the porch. He lit a cigarette and watched the rain falling. He was fascinated at the way the contours of the the concrete that made up the sidewalk, directed the puddling of the water. It was a nice neighborhood. The kind sitcom families live in on TV.
If someone had told him that someday he would live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood. He would of chuckled. Where he came from there were no nice neighborhoods. Th...

Adventure
One clear and uninterrupted sight line would be all that he required. One shot would complete the job and then he could pack up all his kit and leave. Exit would be a lot easier than getting in. There would be no need for radio messages – radios were too bulky anyway, would only get in the way and might even lead pursuers straight to him. No, one brief coded line in the form of an encrypted e-mail bounced off a satellite from his Blackber...

The Airport
I looked with an emotion I could not place- hate? puzzlement?- what have you, I wasn't having good feelings towards my father-in-law. I could tell he hated my perfectly-replicated guts from the day I came into Mrs. Rachel Anderson's life. And, about my guts- they were cloned. Yeah, hate to tell you, but I have no real family.
Shortly before the end of WWIII (The one with China, America, and various Middle-Eastern ...

The crowd burst in applause. Stella stepped off the stage and smiled to herself. She knew that she had down her job, and done it well. Her voice throwing skills were a little off tonight, though. This was due to a particularly bad cold. She had done the best she could, though, so all was good.

Midnight. The darkness was now at its fullest. If not for Charlie’s dying lantern, the path that lied in front of them would be completely invisible to their eyes. The trees around them were tall and have been encroaching the small path for some time. The once broad path had dwindled down to a quite narrow one which could not even fit two men beside each other. To the left of the path, the rocks started to build up and there ...

they had left her in last night.
Turning onto her side, Amelia glanced at the bedside table and found
food lying there on a plate with a glass of water beside it. At least they were still feeding her. Amelia was a very optimistic person. Always fin...
