MORFS: Incomplete Without You, part 01

The Pentwater Chronicles 1:

Incomplete Without You
(Part One)
A MORFS Universe Tale
by Ray Drouillard

Instead of building a resort or a city, Marvin Pentwater built a haven and workplace for people who have been gifted with powers. Years later, his grandson and heir, Marvin Pentwater III, received his gift. Young Marvin couldn't complain about his physique, nor could he complain about the gaggle of talents he wielded. What he could complain about was the distinct lack of power. He grew up in a place where powers are common and esteemed, but he couldn't lift but a few ounces with his telekinesis. Soon, he met an unusual friend with similar challenges.

Chapter One: Sibling Rivalry

I felt myself being lifted off of the ground. "All the control in the world won't help you now! You need power for that," my nine year old sister taunted as she used her telekinesis to rotate me end over end. I could have cried with frustration, but I wasn't about to give her the satisfaction. "You should have morfed into a girl!"

Orphan ~ 25

Angel

I woke suddenly…something wet was on my face...I screamed!

I brushed the wet thing off of my face and could see Petra standing there, giggling.

‘Petra!’ that’s not funny; it’s not nice to put a cold wet flannel on someone’s face!’

A tribute to a friend ......

I first want to praise all those writers and admin staff on BCTS for the excellent content which appears here. For myself, I knew nothing of this site until my friend Mellissa (prairie_girl_64) passed away. I was entrusted with looking after her estate and all her subsequent stories upon which she started and have yet to be completed and/or are completed and need editing.

I've been having trouble getting on line. I downloaded a bunch of stuff at the library, but that required the use of an anonymous server. They have this whole site blocked. I couldn't log on through the anonymous server. None of the anon servers let me log on to my account.

Forever Claire, Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Am I dreaming? Am I dead?

That’s what Claire thought as she was walking through the woods. The area was foggy, but the moon lit up the trees.

“Over here Claire!” was the voice she heard. It was the same voice she heard as she was clinging to life on the log going down the river.

Bed Bugs

I'm OK; I can be a nasty little bitch when pushed. However, should anyone be getting little bites that heal poorly, you may have them. There is a Yahoo group detailing aggressive ways to deal with this. Please use it. Otherwise, you will live in hell until you quit relying on the pest control operators.

Forever Claire, Chapter 5

Chapter 5
Two different worlds, that’s what Charlie lived in.

He wasn’t two different people. Charlie and Claire — they were one and the same inside.

The two worlds? One was the world of Windham Manor. It was the stately world that Claire was spreading her wings in. It was the world of endless possibilities.

Tricia’s father smiled, understanding at Erika’s mother. “Believe me, when I first found out that my son wanted to be a girl, I was anything but calm."

Shivers up the spine and goose pimples

I was on the M25 the other day on the way to picking up my significant other from Mummy in Law.

For those lucky enough not to live in, near, around or have to encounter the M25, it is the motorway that bypasses London. You can go all around it and pick your exit to bring you near to your destination without having to go through London.

Drabble: Lost luggage 3

“But Mom, Do I have to wear Sarah’s clothes until they find my suitcase?”

“Yes, and I know she packed two swimsuits, so you still get to go swimming. Now go start your bath, while your sister and I find something for you to wear to bed.” I went in the bathroom and started to run my water.

Forever Claire, Chapter 4

Chapter 4
“You are really quiet, poppet, is there something wrong?” Meggie O’Hara asked her son as they dressed Eli and Samuel.

“Nothing is wrong, Ma,” Charlie said as he pulled the nightshirt over Eli’s head and then grabbed his younger brother’s shirt.

Meggie knew better. She knew something happened at Windham Manor. She just couldn’t figure out what it was.

The Boy in the Dress

Here's an interesting one from the Guardian. It seems that a guy named David Williams has written a children's book titled "The Boy in the Dress." This piece is about a shopping spree with a reporter while he's wearing a frock and having to deal with papparazzi, etc.

What to do with "The Heart of the Beholder"?

Hello everyone,

I want to thank those who took the time to comment on the story and or send messages to me directly. There were some good, strong critics about the story's weaknesses and I thought I would try to elicit some further discussion.

Drabble: Lost luggage 2

“Mom, you should see some of the pants that I packed.” Sarah said with a wicked grin on her face.

“What did you bring?”

“My purple capris, two pair of pink pants, a pair of hot pink capris, and I think that’s it. I’ll be more than happy to share with Lizzy.”

Susie and Jeffrey 5 - 6

"Who's Robbie?"

"Captain of the first fifteen - the most civilised of the muddied oafs. He's a serious athlete - trains on Mars bars and bananas. You must have seen him, Susie."

"Oh that big gorilla," she laughed and poked me in the ribs. "Hey, Jeffrey, you know what they say: if you look like a monkey don't walk around carrying a banana."

Susie and Jeffrey 5 - 6 by Jamie Hayworth

A scary thought?

I finally got a minute and got onto the site and noticed that Angharad had posted a new chapter of Charlotte. (BTW, Thanks for that. I know it has been anxiously awaited by many.) Seeing it caused a scary thought to pop into my often evil little mind. I posted a couple of weeks back and made a comment about her other story line which is ongoing.

My Hols

Just to give some advance warning, I'm away for a week from monday 20th October. I'm going to Menorca where I hope to do lots of walking and birdwatching (as in ornithology!). It's a favourite place of mine, although I'm going on my own this year - it does mean I can do what I want every day.

Emerging from the Cocoon, Chapters 5-8

Emerging from the Cocoon
By Torey
Chapter Five

Amanda thought about the previous day’s events as she sat in the waiting room at the therapist's office. Nicholas's appearance at the ballet school caught quite a few people off guard. Madame Ruth mistook him for a girl. Some of the girls in class were really surprised, but the parents were even more shocked.

Drabble: Lost luggage

This is my first attempt at a drabble, so let me know what you think.

“Jason, I can’t help that the airline lost your luggage, but because you and your sister had this silly bet to dress alike for the flight down, you are going to have to stay dressed as Elizabeth until your bags show up or we get home, which ever comes first.”

“But why can’t I wear Sarah’s jeans?”

“I would imagine that Sarah would be wearing her jeans, and making you wear the skirts...”

The Japanese musician Hizaki.

I recently came across this amazing guitarist that I thought I'd share with you all. The music starts a bit slow but when the guitar gets going it's fantastic. Just click the picture to full screen and watch his hands and fingers move over the instrument.

I realise that the enjoyment of music is a personal thing and it might not appeal to everyone but I really enjoyed this peice.

Hey, I'm not too proud to ask

Hi you all. After watching Gwen's recommended song on You Tube,I figured what the heck and would like to recommend one of my own. It is on You Tube and is titled "Erik Carlson There U Are". He's my middle son and is trying to become a singer that makes money. I hope you'll take the time to watch it and others he has on line, Arecee
