This short story is more dramatic and explores the hallucinogenic drug world, based on a real-life experience.Can you imagine what would be like if you woke up in a surreal world ? Filled with pieces and fragments of your own mind, your own sub-conscious tricking you into believing what you are seeing, until you realize it's all an hallucination ? Can you imagine if you got stuck in your hallucination, without realizing it ? "A Matter of Time" is a short story written as a part of my Creative Writing class, it is not as developed as I wanted, saddly. A longer edition should be released in 2015. Views: 407

"When we first met, I couldn’t help but think we were two sides of two different coins. We both had a fake side to us. A façade we put up to fit in. We each had our secrets. A side we kept from each other. Except I knew his darkest secret from the very beginning. I knew it from the first time we met." A flash fiction about a mind reader and a time traveller.I am Kurr. I am young at seven hundred seasons.I am not yet wed, I have caught no manchilds, and the mountain thinks me odd.But as with many things, when I sit to think on this I see that what is seen as odd is often seen through odd-seeing eyes and that is what I tell myself, that I am not so odd perhaps as the mountain thinks I am, and this I sometimes tell my father and sometimes tell his father and sometimes tell his father too who is over four thousand seasons old for we are an enduring race in more ways than one.My father’s name is Krull. His father’s name is Barr. His father’s name is Hirka and he is the wisest troll alive.I say this to them not to argue with my elders but to be true to what I see and how I understand things but they do not understand me or they disagree with me or maybe don’t even listen to me and instead look at me as if I wish to argue with my elders which is not such a good thing to do, and so they say nothing to me in return.They think me odd, I think.Mother agrees with the mountain and certainly thinks me odd. Trolls marry at five hundred seasons, she says, or sooner and prods me with her walking stick so hard it hurts or bats me with something near at hand a pan a ladle maybe or a broom so hard it hurts and then leaves me with my ribs or head still smarting and all this so fast I have no time to think of an answer before she looks more hurt than I do as she stomps out and away from me to have such a son that no one wants, ashamed she sometimes tells me that the whole mountain thinks me odd—she is very quick though with that walking stick or that broom, I think. Especially for her age.But on one thing I agree with her for I too believe she has a son no one wants for the shefolk of the mountain all think me odd as well and few will even talk to me. Fewer still (I can count them on my left thumb) have asked to dance with me at feast and none has ever held my hand. Most shefolk look at me as if I belong with the wolves.But that does not worry me so much. What worries me is that the mountain laughs at Mother behind her back for having such an odd son who no one wants. That is one thing I worry about and sit to think on often. That Mother is unhappy and that I am the reason.Father, he does not care, leave the boy be he says, he will marry soon enough but then he is not shefolk and no one will laugh behind his back unless he wishes himself married to the earth for Krull is our chief.I have caught no manchilds. That is odd for seven hundred seasons says Mother. By now any son of mine she says should have caught at least two, maybe three. Your father, she then almost always adds, had caught four manchilds at your age and she prods me again with her walking stick or something else close at hand, a broom or a ladle, so it hurts.Father, I think but never have time to finish thinking and then say before she stomps out again, reached my age before the roads grew wide and before the rail arrived when catching manchilds was not very hard. And, I add to myself, but would not tell her even if I had the time, of the four manchilds Krull caught I hear two died of fright when they first saw him and should not count as caughts for they must be alive when we boil them to count as caughts. Also, I think to myself but wouldn’t say that either, Father likes the hunt and I have no thirst for that.But now I must catch a manchild. I and a shefolk called Hulgur. We were the ones who chose the blue fetching stones. Views: 407

This book is a continuation of my previous two “ALIEN SECURITY” books subtitled, “Beware” and “Freedom”. Those previous books revealed the hidden truth about the U.S. Government’s involvement with alien races and showed how malevolent alien beings could be eliminated from influencing humanity on Earth. This current book shows how reptilian forces in the Earth could completely dominate humanity.This book is a continuation of my previous two “ALIEN SECURITY” books subtitled, “Beware” and “Freedom”. Those previous books used fictional characters named Tom Evens, Stan Edwards and Linda Davis to reveal the hidden truth about the United States Government’s involvement with extraterrestrial races and showed how malevolent alien beings could be eliminated from influencing humanity on Earth. This current book shows how powerful reptilian forces within the Earth could completely dominate the surface of the planet and turn humanity into their slaves.In this new book, Tom Evens and Linda Davis settle down to live a comfortable life together in retirement. However, the Queen of Reptilian humanoid beings within vast cavern city complexes underground, becomes enraged about the attack on two of her soldiers and starts a global war with humanity. What happens after that is not pleasant for the reader to follow.My purpose for writing this book is to demonstrate what life could be like for humanity if it fails to become aware of the existence of other intelligent beings in the universe and does not determine how to interact with them. There are both, benevolent and malevolent alien beings here among us and it is hoped that this book will help humanity to handle the monumental challenges before us. The importance here is that humanity becomes informed and prepared for the days ahead. Good luck to us all. Views: 406
Which bridges would you burn to meet the girl of your dreams? In a cellphone obsessed world, Avery Ward is about to find out the answer to that question for himself.Avery Ward has had limited success with relationships in his twenty-something years on earth, and they all had ended in disaster, including his most recent engagement to the straying Allison. As a student in psychology and a counselor-in-training, he feels it's important to analyze the mistakes of his past before embarking on those same mistakes in the future; it's the reason he's careful about the chances he takes. So, when he sees Melissa, the girl of his dreams, at a fraternity party one night, he calculates the risk in talking to her, deciding if she may or may not be crazy. But his limited exposure to examples of such high-class beauty overrides any sensibility he might have about holding back, so he goes in for the conversation. And, for a solid sixty seconds, he is enraptured by her words, her voice, and her stunning physical form. Bonus: She doesn't seem the least bit out of her mind. But, like the best things he finds in life, his moment of bliss is cut short when her cellphone rings and she disappears into the night to tend to her call. He attempts to find her again before the party ends to finish their conversation, but he has no luck. His dream girl has gotten away.Fortunately for his aching heart, serendipity has either a sense of humor or a need for answers, so many months later, fate brings Avery and Melissa back together in a new place. But will she remember him if he tries to get her attention? And will he even have the guts to talk to her again after having such ill luck with others in the past? And can they reconnect in spite of the incessant cellphone alerts causing an interruption to Avery's quest?Thanks to a friend's advice, Avery decides to pursue his dream girl no matter the risk. But thanks to the mistakes of that same friend, Avery Ward is about to embark on a journey that could cause him to lose more than just a chance at meeting his dream girl. Once again he has to assess the risk and decide if this one's worth gambling with fate and if fate will even allow him to fulfill that second attempt at initiating love. Views: 406
