Jack's Christmas Wish

Having to reveal my thoughts on transition to Saint Nicholas made me a little uncomfortable. I wondered secretly whether he even had the power to fulfill my desire. “Sir, it seems that my feeling that my body was of the wrong sex was prevalent even in my preteens. I suppressed those feelings thinking the it was not natural and a passing fad. As I reached my teen years and found that I would be different from my mates, I found myself questioning my masculinity."

It Happened on a Midnight Clear - BigCloset Christmas Eve Non-Contest/Challenge to Authors

This is not a contest! Because I don't have the time to run another contest just now. But it is a challenge to authors to write a short story or novelette on a Christmas Eve theme between now and the 12th day of Christmas +1. That's Sunday, January 6, 2008 at 11:59 pm PST -- A deadline that is as firm as the artificial spray-on snow baked onto those old-style lights you've got up in the attic. :)

Gift of Time

Gordon did not know what to think when Dave first walked in with Simon. He had been looking forward to cooling out with the guys after yet another unpleasant week. Working temporary jobs was rarely nice, but he was still unable to find anything else. His times spent with the guys were one of the few ways he got to escape real life, if only for just a few hours.

The early winter storm raged, slashing and tearing with icy blades at the weary Christmas decorations along the street vainly trying shine though the winterly onslaught. Ice glazed the poorly heated apartment windows erasing all signs of the holiday season as the storm howled.

Saving Alicia -2-

This is my sequel to Alicia’s Summer Vacation. I read the story the first time around 1999 and I was horrified at how the story ended. The way it ended left me with a very sour taste in my mouth, because he was a child and the extent of the utter betrayal by those who should have loved him. I been thinking about how to write an ending for around 5 years and this is my feeble attempt.

Altered Fates Hawaii Five 0- A Woman’s Work is with a Gun

Altered Fates Hawaii Five O - A Woman’s Work is with a Gun

By Danielle J

 
Based on a teleplay by Glen Olson and Rod Baker

 
This story is dedicated to the late Leonard Freeman, creator of one of my favorite television shows, Hawaii Five 0.
 
Author’s note- I’ve been toying with the idea of doing an AF Hawaii Five episode 0 for years. One season seven episode, A Woman’s Work is with a Gun, was best suited for making a few TG modifications to. The trouble was, I hadn’t seen the episode in years. That’s till I recently got a copy of it.

Each is as different as their chosen beverage, yet something unique has brought them together. Allow your minds eye to zoom in and listen as a perhaps not-so-typical scene unfolds.
