I’ve been reading a lot of Star Wars lately. I have never gotten into the expanded universe before, so I am still very unfamiliar with lots of the world. I’m most at home in the Old Republic era. I have played the Knights of the Old Republic xbox game from […]

Meg handled the egg with oven mitts, but it felt pleasantly warm against Sue’s bare palms. She kissed the shell and felt her dragon stir. Heavy wings flapped overhead. Joe scrambled down a rope in the well. Flames roared, the rope burned, and he tumbled to the cold water below. […]

Jim didn’t like cafeterias. He’d had bad experiences in cafeterias. Of course, the adult scientists weren’t likely to dump chocolate milk on his lap or make fun of him for reading at recess, but he was still uneasy. He stuck close to Ronnie as she got in line. She was […]
Martian Adventures: Cafeteria Food
I was planning on watching all of the Disney films in chronological order, but our copy of Pinocchio apparently came from the factory scratched (and we didn’t open it for over a year so there’s not sending it back now–we fail at commerce) and I don’t have easy access to […]
Disney Project: The Princess and the Frog
"I don’t want you going down to the stables anymore," Isaac’s mother said, standing in his doorway. "It isn’t safe for you, out every morning riding that monster." "He’s not a monster. Flame would never hurt me." Isaac turned away from her, hoping that she’d let the subject drop. "It’s […]
A Taste of Freedom
I’ve decided to watch and review all of the Disney animated classics. There are a lot of them. Most of them are great. Some of them are pretty terrible. There are a few that I’ve never seen. I’ll state right up front that I’m a Disney fan, so if you […]
Disney Project: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The doctor screamed when she cut off his hands. His fingers were much longer than the ones he’d given her. Now she could be a piano prodigy. His body was trying to kill him. His wife tied his limbs, but they forgot his hair. He screamed as it encircled […]

Ronnie loved running, and the forbidden greenhouse was her favorite place to do it. She dodged between trees and glanced back. Jim was following her, and they’d already lost Dr. Eric. Joy gave her feet wings. She didn’t slow down till she got to her hideout. When Jim finally caught […]
Martian Adventures: The Hideout
Jack squeezed his mother-in-law’s parrot with both hands. Its tiny heart beat like mad, and its wings strained against his fingers. "Set me free!" the parrot squawked. "Please?" Its beady black eyes pleaded with him. "Sorry, buddy," Jack said. "My wife would kill me if I lost her mom’s […]
Pet Sitting
Ignacio examined the fortifications, seeing strengths, flaws, and faint future ghosts with his gift. He smiled. He’d stop the French here. A dead dolphin drifted past, and Tom’s strength was fading. He was drowning. He wished that he’d never wished for an ocean of tequila. Tim’s margarita was a pretty […]
