Prelude To Another Future Yet (2nd Chunk of 3)

Chapter 3 - A Discouraging Word Dawn the next day consisted of a marginally lighter sky, still laden with moisture and coated with clouds. The wind had died down and the rainfall had stopped, but not for long, by the looks of it. The raven opened her eyes and briefly groomed herself, then flew towa...

Re: Prelude To Another Future Yet (1st Chunk)

For Griffon8: Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-legged_crow There seems to be some contention on whether the thing is a raven or a crow. I arbitrarily decided to make it a raven, because I read Bernd Heinrich's books about ravens. I think ravens fit the description slightly better. For ...

Prelude To Another Future Yet (All Chunks Present)

I'll perform a little light houskeeping before the story this time, to avoid the charge of being philosophical. Skip to the story if these things upset your Wa. In the snoop-boop-a-doo of everyday existence, we stumble over stories on a regular basis. We collide with them, become part of them, maybe...

Re: A Different Future (Parts 1 through 3)

Part 4 – Global Warming Chapter 16 – Lost and Found Having delivered enough snow to raise the average for the year by several inches, the weather smiled on the city. The sun shined for an unusual number of days in a row, and if the temperatures weren’t particularly warm, the frigid days that accomp...

Re: A Different Future (Parts 1 through 3)

For YFA: The flow probably is off in places. There are three major story threads and sometimes they seemed to get knotted. I had to take time off here and there to untangle them. That probably shows. I don't generally thread stories and probably need more practice. For Mirage_GSM: Hadn't realized th...

Re: A Different Future (Parts 1 and 2)

Part Three – The Winter’s Tale Chapter 12 – The Request The wind came from the Arctic now. Anything that fell from the sky was solid, or became solid when it arrived. Somebody called it the fallow time, and it is for chipmunks and oak trees. Humans do not have that choice. They encase themselves in...

Re: A Different Future (Parts 1 and 2)

Part Two – Frost Creeps On The Town Chapter 6 – The Star of Assam The fall deepened and leaves flew from the trees, turning brown and dead underfoot. The university life slipped into high gear. Hisao was besieged with lab work, homework, and peeks into the future. The pharmaceutical lab was still i...

A Different Future (Parts 1 through 4)

This future begins three and a half odd years from the Emi ending (good), though it involves some of the other characters pretty heavily and some items from other paths. There are four parts - this is the first. Enjoy. P. T. Bridgeport PART ONE - THE LEAVES FADE Chapter 1 – The Great Rice Debate “Br...

Re: Short Story - The Eater of Secrets

For BobBobberson -

Yep, that's it. And what they do about what they know. And why.

That's probably why it's so short.

Re: Short Story - The Eater of Secrets

I wasn't clear enough. This is it. Throwing a Bloomquist into the KS culture was an interesting idea, but not for any length of time.

Apologies, LOL WUT.

Short Story - The Eater of Secrets

This is just something that started as part of a larger story and became irrelevant to it. P. T. Bridgeport The Eater of Secrets I, Dwight Eisenhower Bloomquist, being of sound mind and strong body, took this job anyway. Aw, that’s not fair. I love being in Japan, and I like the job most of the time...

Re: A Future (Complete Version)

'Fraid so, LOL Wut. I said everything I wanted to on this particular future. Maybe more. The folks at KS handed me a great story and really terrific characters. I just looked out a little bit - you can see further when you stand on the shoulders of giants. Wish I did music and graphics too. I have s...

A Future - Part 4

Part Four – The Big Night Chapter 12 – Prelude When Hisao was twelve, his family had travelled somewhere by ferry – he didn’t even remember where. They were only a few minutes out of the harbor when a storm hit with full force. The ferry seemed large and stable in the harbor, but on the thrashing s...

For Breaker DeGodot

If I had it to do over, I'd probably do it the way you suggest. See my answer to the same suggestion above. Longer answer: I decided to start posting before I did the final edit. Since I have the same amount of reality to deal with as anyone else, I thought that there might be a week or more between...
