I posted in a blog that I was writing this, and I am afraid it will be an exercise in complete self-indulgence. I just fancied letting a collection of my favourite people relax together. Don't expect any dazzling revelations here; then again, as I am still writing it, who knows? For new readers, this story won't make much sense unless you have previously read my novel 'Mates', available on this site and on Kindle.

Nikki, part 16

“Happy birthday!” Everybody in the packed ballroom yells at the top of their lungs. I can’t help but giggle at some of the bizarre costumes being worn by some of the party attendees, myself included- there are very few places you could get away with wearing a skin-tight green thong leotard, a pair of brown booty shorts and combat boots, but a videogame-themed birthday party is one of those occasions.

“Hey Miss Croft,” Sarah giggles as she gives me a tight cuddle. “Want to go and ‘raid’ me a drink?” I smile as Sarah adjusts her own tight white top and loose over shirt.

A personal history of mutation side story; the two R's.

Well. Good news and bad news. The good news is, this little bit is coming out mainly to explain some of the wheels behind the next chapter of summer mutation, which is about half done. The bad news is, both of these little blurbs were originally meant to be part of chapters expressing the points of view of the characters involved, from the beginning of the tale.

But I have too many irons in the fire as is, so you get a synopsis of sorts. This is mainly so that I can keep writing those other things I'm writing. Perhaps far into the future I'll take another look at such things.but for now we all just have to make do.

Hope you enjoy it.

As the sun is setting Brad and I link up with Donaldo and Sgt. Aaron Doyle and we catch a bus to the hotel strip. It takes about 30 minutes but the wait only makes anticipation better. We get dropped off downtown and take in the sights. Neon lights, signs for miles. Japanese tourists dominate the foot traffic. I see a few familiar faces walk past us.

Unfortunately, Pedro, Matthew, and Matt, find themselves in a bind, in the next place they go too.

Though, luckily, they find some help.

But, this help is in the form of a lunatic. A real speed demon, in more ways than one. And the only things crazier than this lunatic, is where the lunatic requests to go, and those they meet, at their next destination.

And this lunatic is clearly gambling that he has, Another Nine Lives.

An Accidental New Life - Part 3

An Accidental New Life

Chapter 4
by Mykhaila Ejensfell
Copyright© 2015 Mykhaila Ejensfell

 

When my mother died and my father, someone that I had never met in my life, proposed to take me in, I actually believed that I was going to live with him. That of course wasn’t going to happen. That man, without even meeting me once, was sending me to a boarding school - a boarding school that apparently didn’t even know my name or gender, because in the letter they sent me to tell me I was accepted, they kept referring me as Miss Brooke Falconer.

That was completely ridiculous, I mean, I was Brook Woods, a tough (yet slightly short) guy!
