Blog for the Asking
Here is my blog for the asking. Ask me and I shall write. I like Simon and Garfunkel. I feel myself sliding into a music transition; one of those times I need to find something else to listen to for a while, a genre break. I need something “new.” Perhaps I’ll go back to BridgeContinue reading “Blog for the Asking”
Resistance: Chapter 21
Gertrude VI Gertrude wasn’t much for swimming. With a little witch’s trick or two, she got by. She swam down. It felt unnatural to feel the water’s resistance—it urged her to turn back. But this had to be done. Despite the murky conditions the crimson sword Craven’s Edge shone clear as day. She didn’tContinue reading “Resistance: Chapter 21”
Resistance: Chapter 20
Wild Bill V Sick. Not well. Will not fill caches for some time. Wild Bill folded up the note and slid it back into his pocket. Before he had stumbled upon the captured family, and before the Bread Town Incident, as he had chosen to call it (his traveling companions called it The Jailbreak), thisContinue reading “Resistance: Chapter 20”

Yrsa V Yrsa’s fingers drummed the handle of Gorm’s dagger. He had given it to her right before they left. Her home, Flour Town, was now far behind them. She wasn’t sure when she would be able to give the dagger back. It was a small comfort for her—she hadn’t set the dagger down sinceContinue reading “Resistance: Chapter 19”
Resistance: Chapter 18
Frederick V Frederick walked the docks in the early morning light. His eyes squinted in defiance—he hadn’t gotten a good night’s sleep in some time. These days, he was up until the godless hours working. Frederick’s commercial fleet had doubled, but the paperwork had tripled. King Kyle, and his cronies, had made good on theirContinue reading “Resistance: Chapter 18”
Resistance: Chapter 17
Gertrude V Gertrude strode through the city with Triton-Raven stood silently on her shoulder. The Triton’s Bay folk cast them curious glances and stepped around them wide as if they were afraid that the raven might peck at them for getting too close. Gertrude hadn’t been to Triton’s Bay in ages. The city had aContinue reading “Resistance: Chapter 17”
Resistance: Chapter 16
Wild Bill IV Wild Bill threw himself on the ground. When he looked up, the archer’s bow was arrowless. Wild Bill jumped up as quickly as he could and ran back into the jailhouse, slamming the door behind him. It wouldn’t be long before the townsfolk bashed it in. He pulled the bean out ofContinue reading “Resistance: Chapter 16”
Where am I at?
Howdy! Today is Friday May 12, 2023. Where am I at? Well for one, my allergies are going bananas. The weather has finally transformed into that time of year we’re always dreaming about here in New England. The bloom is taking form and changing the landscape by the hour. The yard demands attention. Bugs we’veContinue reading “Where am I at?”
