The Cartel's Debt

Julio's long black hair flowed down his back like a waterfall, reaching past his waist. It was one of his most prized possessions, a symbol of his masculinity and strength. But all of that was about to change.

Belle Of The Ball

I had waited way too long to get my hair cut since the length was now approaching my shoulders. Janice, my sister, is threatening to take me to her beauty salon if I didn't, at least, get it styled. If any creatures built their nests in hair, she is sure I had a large colony using my hair for living quarters. Recently it has become an obsession with her, I am sure she has a reason for her sudden interest in my hair.

The Tribe of the Mountains – Chapter 5 – The Goddess

IMG_1127.jpg
The Tribe of the Mountains — Chapter 5 — The Goddess

God or devil, spirit or creature, male or female, usually the distinction is easy to make and it is utilitarian.
If it is powerful and helps me it is a God.
If it is powerful and hinders me it is a Devil.
If it does not have flesh but was never a human being, it is a spirit.
If it has flesh, is a creature.
If has a penis and can`t bear children is a male.
If has a vagina and can get pregnant is female.

But what happens when all definitions get mixed up? When male does not have a penis but still can`t get pregnant, when a god has flesh and has its own objectives, sometimes helping, sometimes hindering my work?
Can our minds survive the chaos? Can it become Kaos, the creative force of mythology?

From the teachings of the blessed ones as originally kept in the Library of the Mountains.

Bikini Beach: The Nerds
ElrodW

This series of stories was originally posted as 3 separate stories. The theme ties together so well I figured it would be best to make a 3-chapter or 3-part single posting. Yes, I know that this borrows VERY HEAVILY from "Revenge of the Nerds". That's on purpose. If you don't like that, don't read. I just added some Bikini Beach 'magic'....

From the Seventh Sermon to the Dead — Written by Young (real life)

Man is a portal that allow us to go, from the external world of gods demons and souls into the interior world; from the bigger world to the smallest one. Small and insignificant is man; soon we leave him behind and so we enter again in the infinite space in the microcosm, in the interior reality.

“All right Harper or what ever you are, come on out or we’ll burn the house down!”

I turned to the woman (I don’t even know her name).

“It’s Slago! I guess I’ll give myself up. I’m not going to get you involved.”

She looked thoughtful.

“We’ll just get rid of your disguise and walk out together.”

“Huh!”

Bikini Beach: Anya and Me
by ElrodW and Ellie Dauber

Anya meets a friend from her childhood. The joy is overshadowed by unpleasant memories being dredged up on all sides.

There have been a lot of questions and speculation about the background of the old woman and Anya, her granddaughter. I came up with this little tale to answer some of the questions. There are still questions lingering — after all, we all love a little mystery.

Chapter 1

The Decision

Summary: At school, nine-year-old Daryl is treated like a non-person by his peers and has been bullied in this fashion for years. With no friends, he only finds happiness once a year, trick-or-treating as Princess Stephanie. No one saw Daryl on these evenings, and only his parents knew the truth. Every kid knows costumes are for Halloween, and the rest of the year you are not supposed to wear costumes. What happens when you decide the outfit you wear every day is a costume?

Stephanie decides she can no longer live only on Halloween. Stephanie learns about friendship, but struggles to be accepted by peers and her parents. In the name of friendship and acceptance, Stephanie must stand up to the bullies. Will they force her back into the Halloween box where her costumes were kept for years, or will she find what she has always been looking for? A life where people see her for who she really is.

“Catherine? Who’s Catherine?”

“Beats me. He didn’t say. Maybe she’s his wife. If I were you, I’d go.”

“He didn’t kiss like he was married.” I pointed out. “Great. Okay. Okay. I’ll need to borrow Nicci again today. I need to try on the two gowns at Macy’s and I’ll need her to help me with the ski stuff. You can reach me on my mobile if anything Earth shaking happens. I checked it last night and I’ll leave it on while I’m away from the car. If you call and I don’t answer then at least I’ll know to give you a call back. While we’re out, I’m also going to get Nicci a company mobile phone. She’ll probably hate me for it, both for the additional workload and for the size of the thing, but she needs to be more in the loop.”

Bikini Beach: Midnight Swim
ElrodW

There are a lot of stories about how the park changes people. This one is different, in that it also includes the park as a major part of the action. This one happens inside the park. Now, at long last, all the readers can get a taste of what the park is like inside.

Vicky Martin and some friends decide, on a lark, to scale the fence and go for a midnight swim in the Bikini Beach water park. The outcome is not quite what they expected.
