When the crew of the Hummingbird discovers a Pilla Colony recently destroyed by the Diamante Families, they're faced with the smart choice of leaving or the dangerous one of searching for survivors – and Roy and DeeDee aren't in agreement about their course of action. But the real question is – why would anyone be going out of their way to destroy the most helpless, fragile, and noncombative race in the galaxy? Views: 67
They're darling. They're daring. They know their shapes! They're chicks on a mission—and on this, their first (mis)adventure, the Chicken Squad launches a galactic backyard expedition. Meet the Chicken Squad: Dirt, Sugar, Poppy, and Sweetie. These chicks are not your typical barnyard puffs of fluff, and they are not about to spend their days pecking chicken feed and chasing bugs. No sir, they're too busy solving mysteries and fighting crime. So when Squirrel comes barreling into the chicken coop, the chicks know they're about to get a case. But with his poor knowledge of shapes ("Big" is not a shape, Squirrel!) and utter fear of whatever it is that's out there, the panicky Squirrel is NO HELP. Good thing these chicks are professionals. But even professionals get worried. Especially once they see that round, shiny, green, BIG thing in the yard. What if it's a UFO full of aliens who want chickens as pets? It's up to the Chicken Squad to crack... Views: 67

The chills are creeping up your neck, the
unknown watch you from a breath away, and the long dead seem closer than
ever…In the modern age, our five senses are constantly bombarded by the
world around us: flashing screens, loud noises, barking, yelling, horn honking,
billboards, bustling crowds, arrogant bosses, and the constant hustle of a busy
schedule. It's hard to even think of having a moment alone.But it is when we
are alone, that our sixth sense has a chance to surface. I invite you to take a
moment, or two, for yourself to sit down, dim the lights and spend some time
with the strange and the weird. Sift through some stories that will have you
looking into dark corners, listening to the creeks of the floor, and wondering
if the movement of your curtain is the work of something other than a
breeze.Enjoy!~Earl DuncanFirefly & Wisp Editor Views: 66

From the unique mind of Douglas Adams, the legendary "lost" Doctor Who story has been completed at last by Gareth Roberts and narrated by Lalla Ward.
The Doctor's old friend and fellow Time Lord Professor Chronotis has retired to Cambridge University - where nobody will notice if he lives for centuries. But now he needs help from the Doctor, Romana and K-9. When he left Gallifrey he took with him a few little souvenirs - most of them are harmless. But one of them is extremely dangerous.
The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey isn't a book for Time Tots. It is one of the Artifacts, dating from the dark days of Rassilon. It must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. The sinister Skagra most definitely has the wrong hands. He wants the book. He wants to discover the truth behind Shada. And he wants the Doctor's mind...
Based on the scripts for the original television series by the legendary Douglas Adams, *Shada* retells an adventure that never made it to the screen. Views: 66
