Stuck in the Middle


In this chapter, the morning begins with the usual sounds of home—laughter, playful arguments, and the comforting presence of family. Emily sits with Mrs. Blake, a letter in her hands, as they discuss the significance of the days ahead. Plans for a special dinner take shape, filled with small but meaningful choices, each one reinforcing the reality of belonging. As the day unfolds, warmth and quiet moments weave together—folding laundry by the fire, the soft weight of trust settling in. Through simple gestures and heartfelt words, Emily begins to accept what she has longed for but feared to believe in: the promise of home.

Book 27
Smell of the Crowd

by Maddy Bell
Copyright© 2022 Madeline Bell

Life has some certainties, birth and death of course, but the rest is a mix of Minestrone and Spaghetti, some of which we have no direct influence over. We can however decide whether we want Parmesan or other seasoning, we can give Gnochi a try, doesn't mean we'll like it but at least we'll know. Gaby has reached just such a point in her life, she knows she likes Pizza, she's not averse to Spaghetti or Lasagne but is Gnochi for her? The Gnochi in this case is doing the singing with BlauHase on a more serious level, as a 'hobby' its fine but could this be a change of career? Well you don't find out without trying so that's just what our heroine is about to find out in this, the 27th book of the Gaby saga.

The Seamstress and Her Moth Part 5

XII. The Feast of Fractured Mirrors

The farmhouse table groaned beneath casseroles that reeked of clove and false piety. John’s mother—a woman who starched her hymns—leaned in, her gaze lingering on Lanie’s sun-kissed cheeks and the demure lace dress that was Georgia. “What a vision,” she sighed as if this moment could be preserved like a jar of pickled beets.

Soixante-Trois Airlines: Jessica, part 4

Jessica stepped off the plane and onto the tarmac at Charles De Gaulle airport with an ache in her feet from standing in high heels all day, and an ache in her head from dealing with needy, insulting passengers all day. She longed for nothing more than to strip out of her painful shoes, her tight skirt and her restrictive corset and lay in a warm bath for the next 24 hours, but as she changed back into her sleek black dress to head home, she knew that wasn't an option.

This is my take on a Native American boy, who finds, through his dreams, that he’s a two-spirt person, and has a very special Guardian Angel. How he and the Guardian Angel help each other. How he's treated by his people. And, how he also finds a very understanding and special partner.

Thank you for respecting the hard work of this author.

Chapter 1

I awoke earlier than usual that momentous morning and walked out the back door to see the sun rising slowly over the lush verdant fields of eastern Arkansas. The neat clean rows of cotton and soybeans awaiting the warm life-giving rays of the sun. The plants stretching to receive the mornings blessing from Father Sol. The rows beckoned me to come and grow with them and stretch my arms to receive the blessings of the Sun also. I walked out to the fields and stood among them warming myself as the Sun rose higher and higher over the horizon. The coming of the day was always exciting to me making me feel as though I would have another chance at being the best I could and today, like any other, was a chance to be what I wanted to be. I had made the decision to myself to realize my life’s dream, now I had to find a way to do it. Luck was with me for once and the way came, however not without a price.

Good evening, everyone. My name is Felicia Belphere Metrune. I am the only daughter of Baron Alphonse Lartes Metrune. I am 11 years old. I haven't always been Baron Metrune's daughter though.

I was originally a 29 year old man who lived in Cornwall. One day I got hit by a truck and you've probably guessed it, I was reincarnated into what seems to be medieval Europe.

Me? A hero? A quest to save father? Mother, are you still asleep?!

Where do devotion and obsession meet? When does devotion become insane stalking?

A short story I wrote some time ago and came across on my hard drive. I'm a fan of German lied (art songs) and this is a little tribute to Robert Schumann but a knowledge of the music isn't necessary to understand the story (I hope). It's seasonal, but not this season.

Lady in Waiting Part 1


Lady in Waiting

This is a story set in the 1800’s about a family that has lost every family member except the youngest son and his twin sister. Then his sister dies of smallpox and he manages to persuade his mother to let him become his deceased sister.

I originally wrote this some 2 years ago then my muse departed so for some reason I couldn’t commit anything to paper, which meant that the story stopped at chapter 13 (superstitious?) Now my muse has returned and I find that I can continue but I was left with the problem of what to do whether to carry on and post chapter 14 in the hope people would pick up the story or repost from scratch. Having asked the opinions were varied and as a result I have decided to post up the chapter 13 at a episode every couple of days then after this a weekly posting – I hope you all approve.
I realise that the language of the time is difficult to read (and difficult to write) so I have done an amalgam of the vernacular of the time and modern speech patterns

The Spirit Realm, where friendly spirits dwell. The Light Realm, where good spirits go to. And then, there's the Demon Realm. There is a power struggle in the Demon Realm right now, and it is about to spill over to the Human Realm.

Correction, it has already spilled over.

Badasses Of the Multiverse: Book 5: Volume 1: Chapter 06

The day after the Day of the Little Angels, is the Day of the Dead.

A fitting name for a day when Lee finds himself in the interesting predicament of being stuck in day that never seems to end.

And this story arc will answer the question of what happens, when a person, whom is still mostly healthy, though is dying, is stuck in a time loop? Where the march of illness and death has come to a complete stop for that person.

Lee is still somewhat healthy. It seems he is not going to die any time soon, due to being given the day repeating itself. A repeating time loop with no consequences, where Lee seems to be the only one that remembers the repeats.

So, what will a mischievous, and imaginative person like Lee do with his time?

And will Lee try to stop the time loops. Or, because Lee is dying of cancer, does he even wants to try to stop the time loops?

Find out the answers in, The First Few Times Around.
