O’Sullivan’s Law
Eugine O’Grady was very surprised that he received a promotion within the Department of Global Intelligentsia; he had been appointed Deputy of Foreign Affairs. To him, it seemed as if this was a premature and uncalculated decision because he saw himself as a lackluster government employee toeing the line for a bunch of political opportunists. Why would his superiors entrust him with a powerful position within the Federal Government? Why would they hire him over someone else?

Bridget watched as gentlemen callers entered her booth—the Turkish booth. She wore an Arabian Princess costume, which exposed her breasts and belly.

That one Wild Ghost Town in the West, Out Yonder
Intro: I have recently been reading a Tale Of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens. As a writer, I am CONSTANTLY asked what I am writing. People try to take sneak peaks at my journals. people tell other people about my novel ideas before I have the 4th chapter written. people blast the news before I can get published and earn anything off my writings. Sometimes, this causes copyright issues and me having to redo everything from scratch.

The Banks of the Rubicon
Julius Caesar is probably the most famous leader in history. He is famous for such innovations as the Appian Way, the Modern Calendar, and Seigeworx. His most notable act, the conquering of Gaul and England, yielded the most noted battle in history. It ended when Caesar was compelled to chase down his comrade, Pompeii, to Egypt; and Cassius to the Mediterranean Gulf; and kill or force them to commit suicide. The Battle of Alesia is highly regarded for the technical superiority used when Caesar captured the Gallic Chieftain Vercingetorix (pronounced: Ver-sin-GET-or-ix). Julius Caesar marched his armies from Rome on the central west coast of what we now call Italy, across the Roman Alps (the frozen barrier of mountains separating the Italian Peninsula from Germany) into Europe to hunt for the barbarians who were raiding the Tuscan farming villages that supplied Rome with grain and meat. The first obstacle that Caesar and his army met was the Rhine River. There Caesar had his men construct a wooden bridge from the surrounding trees. They crossed and disassembled the pontoon flotilla bridge with the last men across each section as to take it with them.
