Subject Adam - 01

“...and that thing people say about being able to leave if your professor is 15 minutes late? Nicole, I’m telling you it is not true. I learned that the hard way.” Adam paused to look down at his burger in a mocked expression of shame. I had only been half-listening to the story, but at least knew that I needed to jump in at this point to make it look like I was paying attention.

The planet is significantly colder than Earth, but livable in the tropics. The technology level is roughly early 21st century by Earth standards.

Oh, no!” said Vlad. Gina and Paula hurried over and gave the screen a look. “Check it out, now,” Gina shouted.

Paula sat down at a spare computer and called up historical records. “It’s them.” Her voice was completely devoid of emotion.

The time has come, right here at last, for a Pentumvirate to be born.
To worry why the sea must on and on, and still beat up'on the shores.
Of if another world can solve, the problems ever worn,
Or if the mirrored copies mire, and twist the knotted knot some more.
Of friendship raised on a bed of lies, is sure to wake a boon of fires,
While Queens hamstrung to defend their foes, whilst learning what they don’a knowest, knows.

Filled with the milk of human kindness Chapter 1 and 2

Chapter 1

I tried to hope. I like to think of myself as an optimistic person, more ready to smile than frown, but I am pretty sure my smile was brittle today. This would be my third foster home and I had already got the impression that my new foster parents didn't care about any of us, apart from the money that we could bring. On the plus side, the one person I had been most scared to meet was my new foster father after the fiasco with my last one and Greg seemed harmless and completely disinterested.

Forever the Dragon Princess

The year is 2024. And one of the greatest archaeology finds of all time is on display at the Smithsonian. No one ever expected to find something buried deep within the caves below Mount Fuji, Japan. Especially not a seven foot tall, fifteen foot wide, two foot thick, one-thousand pound, hand carved red lacquered, ebony wood, bejeweled sculpture of the dragon Toyotama-hime that is over 2000 years old. For 16yr old Tony Watanabe this statue held more than just your normal fascination. It held his destiny.

Why apologize? We need this information. Yeah, I have no problem doing the same for him.”

Okay, Reg, now look at yourself. Are you interested in men?” She shook her head. “Are you bi?” Again she shook her head, but this time a smile was forming on her face.

I see. I believe you’re right. You change sex, and gender to the same as the person who touched you!”

Paula nodded. Beside her, Fred’s expression was one of disgust aimed at his damned brother. What a complete bastard!

MORGELLE SETTLES IN

Morgelle was aware she liekt Tuyere, was interested in him even, and she was grateful for his help in coming to understand her new home without having to deal with the complexities and tensions of a relationship with a sexual element at the same time.

CASTLE THE SERIES – 00031010

BETH PUBERTY BLOCKERS

Beatrix and Beth had been surprised at the difference between Earth and Castle, for both knew that anything to do with gender dysphoria on Earth was an extremely drawn out process, but Falcon had said at the outset, “Beth, the most important matter here is time. To gain you that time I shall thisday provide herbs that will immediately prevent all pubertal development.”

CASTLE THE SERIES – 00031020

WARBLER AND JED INTIMACY

They enjoyed looking at each other as they washed off the effects of the sea, sand and fish, and since Jed was too shy to touch her intimately Warbler kept her promise and didn’t press him, but as she washed her sensitive softth she sat on the bench to make sure he could see and said, “This is exciting knowing you can see, after all it’s only fair for I can see all of you.”

A Short Story

It was a classic New York City brownstone - a building I am used to working with. I had been asked to inspect it and report by a legal firm that often had me do this kind of work. All that I knew was that only 2 or three weeks before, the owner had checked himself into hospital and had promptly died. The law firm would be handling his estate.

Insurance Ad

Insurance Ad
By Ellie Dauber © 2020

Here’s a VERY short piece, a script based on an ad that keeps turning up on my TV. I mean no offense to the insurance company. This is just something that the wording of the ad suggested to me.

* * * * *

The scene is a modern kitchen. A young woman in a house dress is sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee. There are a few papers with some sort of writing on them near where she is sitting. The camera moves in to a medium shot as she speaks.
