When his family moved to Alaska, Patrick had a new life to begin...in more ways than one.
The new kid is a genius. At thirteen, starting the ninth grade, he just wants to fit in. His Air Force dad moved the family to Alaska and it's a whole new life.
Maybe in a new life he can be his real self, a girl who decides to call herself Marcia to make it more different from her old name.
A new life means new friends, new challenges. Like dealing with bullies and boys who think she's pretty. There is drama—a death in the family, danger in her father's job as a pilot, romantic complications—can Marcia deal with all the changes?

The night guard at the gate of Terberon Research Corporation settled in his chair and propped his feet up on his desk, pouring the first cup of coffee of the night from his thermos. The front window of the gatehouse afforded a clear view of the road leading up to the facility, as it wound through the trees toward the brightly-lit final half-mile straightaway culminating at the gate. In the darkness, the headlights of any approaching traffic would be visible a good five minutes before it eventually arrived at his post.
The first indication he had that his facility was under attack, was the sniper's bullet exploding out of the darkness and into his brain.

What am I?
For being such a simple question, it carries with it a lot of weight,
I am a liar, a fake, a loner.
I am the person you see but do not remember,
The face you speak to but cannot recall,
The body you look over but forget.

I don't know why I have to keep several series going on at once, but this one's been burning a hole in my brain for a while. Do Over almost went this way, but found it's own identity. If you haven't seen the Bruce Willis film "The Kid", you won't know the plot anyway, but you really should rent it.

Thursday night and we were off. Driving past London on a Bank Holiday Friday is not my idea of fun, so Geoff and I were meeting up with the rest of the clan at Oxford before spending the Thursday night in a motel near Telford.

Chapter 18
Thursday morning moves so fast for me and by lunch it’s dad to the rescue again as I’m getting calls from my online friends and family. Some of them are arriving tonight even and god there’s so much to do.
I guess first thing’s first, and I slide up to Taylor just as he’s finishing the last cinnamon roll in the place. I kiss him and lick the icing and cinnamon and sugar off his lips. “We’re getting busier Tay we should hire someone else.”
“We could, any ideas?”
“Billy’s girlfriend Dallas.”

Lasting Love
by MonaLisa
A strong desire to find the one
To set the moon and raise the sun
A wish to all the powers above
A dream of finding lasting love
A heart so full of deep chagrin
A melancholy tale to spin
A wish to all the powers above
A dream of finding lasting love
A latent hope so very deep
A drowsy prayer and restless sleep
A wish to all the powers above
A dream of finding lasting love

Plague of Night
By MonaLisa
Plague of night so blights the soul
And weighs upon the weary mind
Stars in moonless skies remind
Of boundless void that swallows whole
Sparkling, shining starlight seems
So far away and out of reach
The soul is left but to beseech
The fates to grant her fervent dreams
The faithful soul does ever sing
Her lonesome serenade reprise
Yearning for the sun to rise
And dawn's sweet light and warmth to bring

The constant hum of machinery and the intermittent beeping were the first things that I became aware of. The smell of antiseptic was next. I opened my eyes a moment later.

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.
In this second chapter Ugmor'n3 and Er experience a stout Cortez moment. The fears that mingle with their wild surmise are forgotten as they gaze upon their new horizons. Until the awareness of a greater and more immediate threat strikes.
You haven't met Er yet but even my Muse approves of her. Indeed claims she was his idea. Complete codswallop!.

As lunch rolled around, Ryan found out a definate perk of being in this class.
Lunch was catered to the room!
"Bon aptetit all", Ms Jacobs cheerfully said as the cart of food was wheeled in.
It was the basic cafeteria lunch food plated up already for them.
"Why do they deliver lunch to us?", Ryan asked Todd.
"We are kept sheltered from the rest of the school as we go through out
transiton. It's supposed to ease our social strain as we go through all of
this.", Todd explained.
Ryan was still thrown off by Todd's feminine voice, but sort of understood why
