Adventure

Worth of a Man
Darkness. When Carser woke, it was into the darkness of a singularity; impenetrable, unyielding. Still silence bound his ears just as the darkness cloaked his eyes. He sat up, groping in the space around him, feeling for the familiarity of the solid world. His outstretched hand brushed a smooth wall to his right. Keeping one hand on the wall he clambered to his feet, only to hit his head on the ceiling.

Defeat The Queen
Writer's disclaimer: This is a really old story (written in 2009), but wanted to share it regardless. It has not been edited, so be warned. It ends on a cliffhanger, and I've debated re-writing the existing chapters and continue the story. For now, here is Defeat the Queen.

Welcome to Paradise
6 inches of steel. Hardened, of course. Serrated blade. Mahogany handle. As I sat, kneeling, in coarse, biting gravel, I could feel every one of those 6 inches buried deep in my shoulder. It was bleeding, no doubt – I could feel the thick crimson elixir of life slowly trickling down my back – but I couldn’t see it. I still had the sack over my head; my own little face prison which smelled of vomit.

The island of Maui was the perfect spot for romance and adventure. I didn't know it would also prove to be the perfect place for sheer terror. All I wanted to do was to see pretty tropical fish.

By the Light of the Dutchman
I stand atop the highest mast, in a crow’s nest towering above the galleon. I’ve always liked it up here, the salty winds whipping through my hair. From this point, the sounds of the bustling crew are nothing but a faint whisper to me.

A Jack Burgoyne Story
Time moved slower back then. Or so it seemed. It’s only now, now that I am older, that I can truly hear the infernal ticking of the clock. There is evil in that sound, I am sure of it.

Predators and Prejudices
Emily had to admit, the view was spectacular. The pool area of her resort overlooked the beach across the street and she watched as the waves crashed at regular intervals. She sat there with her coffee, enjoying the solitude. The sun lit up the sky in citrus hues and, for now, it was just for her alone.

Long lost marigold
Floating, drifting, endlessly. On and on they went. Not that it mattered to the inhabitants of the space cruiser. They were happy enough with their lifestyles. It did not matter how long it would take to reach their destination. All that mattered was the journey. Some aboard couldn't even remember why they had started on this voyage. It started a long time ago and would continue for a long time more.

The telephone rang, jolting Grandpa out of deep sleep. “5:30? Who’d be calling at this hour?” he muttered, stumbling out of bed.

My Journey to America
My trip to America by Kenneth Allan Chapter 1 “Your mother has come to collect you, Heston,” said the headmaster. That was a surprise, I thought. I only ever saw my mother three times a year, birthdays, holidays and Christmas. When I was six, she explained it to me as I was packed onto the train to boarding school.
