They say we are the sum of our parents, not in my case however my parents were quite normal Dad a taxi driver and mother was a librarian. So you see the difference lies in me and my makeup stems from my great grandparents or something like that… my name is John Sawyer, my surname my give you a clue as to my great grandfather yes the gunslinger and adventurer Tom Sawyer and from him I gained great hunting and survival skills and I’m a natural with any firearm a dab hand and h

I don’t know about you but I come here every day, I think it’s the view! Wouldn’t you agree…… reader. And of course this day at this time was no different, for here we are looking out across the room at the same empty chairs, dusty tables and dirty windows. I know I wouldn’t have it any other way, would you? Ah but all good things come to a end, come with me now , quick here though this door down the lane off the side ally up this hill, stand by me under the great oak tree ……

Timmy: but Hermit scares me! Lowe: Hermit scares everybody, but he can help….. if you ask Timmy: buuut Lowe: no buts Timmy if you want to save your parents ! Timmy: ok you’re right, as always I’ll go! Lowe: Now… And off Timmy went to see Hermit, across two fields down the lane and across the stream. “Gulp!” Timmy stood starring at the woods before him, dark and forbidding. Of course Hermit would live in there, never in a nice cottage at the edge of the village or in a lush gr

The door opened, light from the corridor made my eyes sore, it was early the cell lights wouldn’t be coming on for at least an hour. I asked the guard what was going on, his only reply was to follow him, we arrived 20 mins later at the Bloke Commanders office, the guard waited outside but opened the door, I went in. As I entered I saw that 2 soft chairs a desk with its own chair and the man himself, he had his back to me “take a seat Mr Johns” Once sat he turned to face me g

They say life imitates art, some would blame movies for there actions, I.e. a murder spree committed like something someone saw. Ok these are just comments/sayings you might use however 5 years ago a company ,Biotech incorporated merged with Parasol Life Ltd was born and they created Geo life units, living pods for the terminally ill or accident victims, think the film Avatar but for humans. So of course mafia types wanted the tech, and after 2 years sub quality units turned

Growing up I was always warned about toadstool rings, the which in the woods and wild bears etc but most of all the most feared the most tricksy of all were the FAE! Do not talk to the Fae Do not dance with the Fae And never under any circumstances make a Deal with the Fae…they are tricksters, they will give you what you want, but the cost will be far too high and yo won’t see it coming. I was told all of this and knowing what I do now I’m not sure if I’d do anything differe

You hear people say things like “if could’ve been a fly on the wall or if walls had ears” how about if these sheets could talk…. In the room next door all that could be heard that night was grunts and moans from the room of Lady Sarah.. Next morning at breakfast all seemed ok all that is is except for the fact that Lady Sarah had not dressed and come to the table, “oh Lizzy would you check on your sister please, I do hope she is well “ Moments later Lizzy returned looking a l

Through your life I’m sure you will here little saying/old wives tales, infact you have probably already heard ones like, The early bird catches the worm or You shouldn’t throw stones in glass houses…. Of course they all have hidden meanings some more hidden than others, but as a rule they are all either meant to make us better people or to keep us safe in our day today shuffling. My favorate is Children should be seen and not heard. It’s what my parents always said, Well d

I don’t remember much from before but, what I do know is what happened next and how I felt … It was dark when I woke, my mind fuzzy eyes and head sore and aching, I couldn’t remember anything at first not even my own name, I only know that because of the name tag on my flight/jump suit. But as I said all was dark at first and not because my eyes were shut, and I was sure it wasn’t night, after a moment I realised I was sat on the floor, some sort of grid and cold made of meta

As you can probably guess or at least relate to, I have gone on regular walks for some years now for fitness and health e.t.c. I have two main walks one is just around the block as it were, quick and easy basically flat all the way round. now the other, that one is my favourite.. It's through the woods along the old cart path by the river, around the lake to the top of Bolder's Hill, and then back again, you do see some people just not every time, of course the real appeal is

AS HE ENTERD THE TAVERN (The Hippo’s Turn) he saw the barman, a tall burley man late in years with wise eyes a bold head platted beard and a seasoned belly.. Hey Jim come on in old friend. Jim moved over to the bar leaning on it with one large arm, pint of mead please Cliff, “is she here?” Sliding the drink across Cliff said, You don’t gotta do this Jim! “Yeah I do, the farm is struggling, and me boy told me last night he’s courting some lass I’m to meet soon” You know your m

As one of the uk’s hero’s we have called you here to help with a mystery… We need to send you to London, we’ve lost all contact with the city, find out why! You wing-suit in from a Fat Albert plane, as you glide through London air space you glance back to see your plane crumple and explode, moments later your wing-suit turns to dust leaving you free falling, as wind whistles by your ear you pull your shoot, thank god it opens and you land on the Cobbled street of old London!

At first all was great, as is the case with most adventurers on or off planet , our ship was called THE STEADFAST a third class deep space hauler converted for the science corp. our mission was to explore Carfoo VII a planet on the edge of the 3rd ring. Fully fuelled with extra everything fuel, food, etc We departed Earth II at 1300 hrs on may 6th 3564 without a hitch. I had finished my forth rotation without even a lightbulb to change, as I got back into my cryosleep unit I

I have traveled far sir, please please call me Travan….. continue! Ah yes um Travan , I traveled here after hearing many a roomer of adventurers tasked to gain knowledge from the great Library in the sky, never to be heard of again, I aim to find out their fate… Adventurers you say, like who??

Today was going to be a good day, it had finally been decided, Evermore and Everlast would be going to war.... don't get me wrong I know war isn't a good thing, however our lords have been in negotiations for months on years and tensions within their respective peoples have been growing, some ancient families have relations on both sides. As a warrior I am content in times of piece but these last few years have been hell, so now I can say I am eager to step up and defend my p

Oh ok hi :-)….. where to start well introductions , my name is Norm ah no not Norman or Normy just Norm, i know what you are thinking, it’s a great name right! You’ll never guess what i do for a living, I’ll describe myself and see if you can guess, I’m 37 years old, receding salt n pepper hair, brown eyes, I ware thick black rimmed glasses, I’ll ware either a grey suit with white shirt or a navy blue suit with , you gets it a white shirt, always a good sturdy pair of brown l

To say I’m the only person that suffers with dark days would be a lie, I do not wish to diminish what anybody is going through, to each of us it feels like nobody has it worse, nobody understands exactly what we are going through. What follows is fictional but has some base in truth. For over thirty years I’ve been bullied over my weight ,my money and even who my friends are throw in the mix several bad work choices, bad in the sense that bulling took place there too, or may

It was time he’d left it 7 years this time, really pushing it the erge was getting to strong if he left it any longer people might start to notice. Alright he’d landed the perfect job, night security for a canning company in the middle of nowheresville, he only had to say hello to two people and they were just security personnel at handover, one at 10pm when he took over and one at 6am when he finished for the day, 7 days a week but in one of those handy little one week on th

It was Tuesday, I woke at 8am and dragged myself out of bed, my body was stiff and painful. I stumbled for a moment, the stiffness passed but the pain it stayed a bit longer as it always did. I made a coffee nothing fancy just instant from a jar, as the kettle boiled the nag in the back of my groggy mind sturred. Coffee made in a mug one of many from the middle upper cupboard, but this one was just right for me, a bit larger than most it held enough coffee to wake the dead, a
