Dark Waters
As the Endless Sommers sped toward his classmate’s private island, Andrew couldn't shake the feeling that he shouldn’t be there. Undoubtedly it was a place someone like him didn’t belong, but he knew better than to feel inferior. Over the years he’d learned that behind his friends’ wealth and polished facades, each of them harbored dark secrets. But Andrew had accepted them nonetheless, and in turn, they had accepted him.

Just Another Trip
ONE Waking up beside him feels like the beach at sunset. I stare at the lines of his face, so peaceful as he slumbers. His chest rises up and down like the waves climbing the beach and then receding. My heart double beats as my eyes find his parted lips and I kiss him softly.

Out of the Frying Pan
“Look, honey! The pool! This is just perfect!” Janet exclaimed. “I’m glad you're pleased, dear,” Kevin declared as they meandered through the collection of white loungers to the edge of the pool. Janet was smiling that smile that made him feel weightless. A smile he hadn’t seen in quite some time.

The Ship Pheonix. Top Story - August 2024.
We came for different reasons. Some of us were sad, some were frustrated, and some were just tired of living the same everyday life. Whatever our motivations, we all answered the ad. Looking for a getaway? Has life got you down? Need an escape? Take a cruise on the Phoenix. I don't think any of us still alive know if those words were a gift or a curse.

Nigel Kee
Nigel Kee was too busy ripping the hair from his bleeding skull to notice the speeding school bus. It took a thick textbook, thrown from the hands of a terrified middle schooler, to finally get his attention by hitting him square in the face.

The War of the Americas
Author's preface: To this point I have been dual publishing each installment in the series in both the Fiction and Chapters communities on Vocal. That has been a real pain in the butt to keep up with so going forward this series will be published only in the Fiction community, and I will return to using the convention "Part" to refer to each installment in the series. I will also use the shorter version of the title which is officially "The War of the Americas." I have also been trying to include links to each of the earlier installments in every story, but unfortunately it is too much of a pain to do that every time so going forward I will try to include those links on at least every other part.. If you go to my profile page you can find all the parts of the story there. Wish there was a way I could organize them in one place there for easy reference, unfortunately Vocal does not provide that functionality. In any case my profile page can be found here.

The medieval city was a ghost town at this hour, its ancient buildings casting long, eerie shadows under the dim streetlights.
