Hallowe'en Treat ... What the World's Press say

Author: 

An Elf in Her Bra has been in Hatbox for about a year and is now eligible for release to the general public.

During the last twelve months I have been inundated with many requests regarding my future intentions for it. Many are those who many have implored, begged, indeed offered financial incentives, in a vain attempt to influence me.

In spite of all such, and ignoring all threats, I have decided to indeed release it in the Public Domain here at Hallowe'en. So there!

I quickened my walk and within seconds was lost in her soft embrace.

“Don’t worry now, sweetie, everything’s going to be fine,” she said, as she gently caressed my face and brushed her fingers through my hair.

Symbols

Philosophers have often noted that the symbols we use shape our thoughts. They hold power over us. But it is a power we freely give to them. Symbols hold no power that we have not first granted. So, my friends, on this spooky Halloween night, remember: accept not the symbols of others.

The Library: Rewrite, Part 1

 

 
The Library: Rewrite

 
 
Part One: How It All Started

by Roberta J. Cabot

Ghosts in the library. A fairly common story for Halloween . Telling such stories, especially around a campfire at night, is fun. Heck, it’s almost a tradition — a ghostly figure that you see from the corner of your eye as you work on your homework in the library, eerie sounds, unexplained movements like doors closing or chairs moving et cetera. Old hat. Hackneyed, even. Thing is, I was the one who saw them, experienced them. It might even have been okay if that was all, and if they just happen occasionally, and at night. But the thing was, the weird stuff started happening in the daytime as well, and during class. And it all started when my eyes changed color…

My name is Mark. And this is my Halloween story.

Whingeing Agine

Here I go agine, somewhat emboldened by Angela Rasch. I posted a story five days ago. The first two days 500+ hits, 50 votes and half a dozen comments. OK, not a stellar success. I can live with that, but for the last three days, 300+ hits and virtually NO votes and not a single comment.

I wish that someone would tell me if I'm wasting my time posting here, that I don't gibe with the BC vibe, that there's little interest in what I post, that I'm a lousy writer, anything but this deafening silence. Indifference; disapproval??

Hey all, been doing some overview of my storie 'The Girl in Me' accessing the many of mistakes, tribulations and problems regarding my storie. So I have came to the conclusion that I will revise it, re edit, add and change some things.

Firstly as from the start I wanted to make it as a series, of cronicles and Thus it will. I will be naming it "Morwen's Legacy: The Girl in Me".

Secondly The editing is going to be slightly difficult for me so if there is anyone that would like to volunteer to assist in the edditing of my storie, please let me know.

I'm hoping I might get a couple of usable photos. It will also give me a chance to test my new car - well new to me, a Renault Megane 1.9 dci (turbo diesel for the uninitiated).

How is it in Boston for T folk?

Astonishingly, I have been asked to accompany a young college couple to Boston while they finish work on their respective Masters Degrees. My friend jokes about needing her English Nanny to help her care for her child to be born in June or July. If this seems a little sublime to you, then imagine what I am thinking. I worry about really having gone round the bend. I have asked them thrice over to think about this matter very seriously as it would hurt me greatly should they decide other wise at the last minute; even had a bit of tears over it. GAH!

Being ill in bed with the flu, I was not sick enough to sleep but not well enough to do anything meaningful. So, I started searching my old name. OMG, I found a database that lists me as the author of "Yeksim and the Jungle Planet". It was probably about my first effort at story writing, but how it got on the internet, I have no idea. I think that by '87 the amber screen was gone, but was it time for the 386 yet? It is reall chilling that this work lies in a data base somewhere.

WARNING - THIS TALE IS UNFINISHED

This is a sort of Science Fiction tale. If you include Time Travel in that genre that is. Not that anyone actually travels through time in the story. Dear me no. Nevertheless it is the closest I can get to an accurate description. It's really about a young boy. And what he finds in the forest one day. And how it changed his life.

And your's too in a way. And mine. All our lives I suppose. In due time.

Wroit my stories without a care
One laptop and a chair
Oh wouldn't it be loverly?

Lots of comments for me to read
Lots of votin' is what I need
Feels good, so good indeed
Oh wouldn't it be loverly?

Oh so loverly sittin' abso-blummen-lutely there
I would never stop writin'
Lookin' out for someone who had a care.

Some one's note sittin' there for me
Don't much care if it's praise, you see?
Even spelling correction, gee?
Oh wouldn't it be loverly?
