Hatchlings Remorse 06

Chapter 06
David sprinted toward the crosswalk, glancing at his watch with growing panic. He was cutting it close—ten minutes until his shift started at Morgan's Grocery. Mr. Morgan wasn't exactly known for his flexibility when it came to tardiness.

Hatchlings Remorse 04 Digital Dialogues

Coverart.jpg

Remi slouched in his computer chair, the soft glow of the monitor illuminating his face in the darkened bedroom. He'd been browsing his favorite gaming forum for hours, deep in a heated discussion about the latest patch notes for Final Fantasy XIV. The debate over tank balance changes had consumed most of his evening, with Remi passionately defending the Dark Knight's new rotation against a barrage of complaints.

Hatchlings Remorse 05 The Breaking Point and Aftermath

Coverart.jpg

Remi stared at his reflection in the classroom window, barely registering Mrs. Caldwin's voice as she droned on about cellular mitosis. The autumn sun cast long shadows across the school grounds, and his thoughts drifted to the D&D session planned for the weekend. Johnny had been texting him ideas for their next campaign between classes, providing a welcome distraction from the growing knot in his stomach.

Hatchlings Remorse 03 Making Waves - Remi Joins the Team

Coverart.jpg

Remi stood outside the pool office, his hand hovering uncertainly over the door handle. The hallway smelled of chlorine and disappointment—the latter being a scent he'd become all too familiar with after the recent football and lacrosse tryouts. A small plaque beside the door read "Coach Sarah Ramirez - Aquatics Director," with a newer addition underneath: "Synchronized Swimming Program Director."

Taking a deep breath, he knocked.

Hatchlings Remorse 01

Preamble - I have now completely re-written all of the works I had worked with Sudowrite on. I no longer use it as a writing tool, only a story organizing tool. With my left hand healed I can now type again properly so I'll be able to write a lot easier. I am also returning to the online world but have permablocked where I got hated on for my prior writing of this. I will never author there ever again, and won't even lurk for their content. Their user base proved to be very toxic and the admins didn't care when authors were being harassed by readers. The reviewers were annoying but it was the DM's there that really got me.

Hatchlings Remorse 02 The Breaking Point

Coverart.jpg

"Remi! Did you grab your allowance for lunch?"

Remi paused at the front door, backpack half-slung over his shoulder. His mother, Melinda Halistaad, hurried from the kitchen, a few crumpled bills in hand. Despite the early hour, she was already dressed for her day at the office, though her usually pristine appearance was slightly disheveled from the morning rush.

I pushed open the door to find the house just as it always was at this time of the afternoon, silent and empty. Shafts of the waning sunlight illuminated tiny dust particles dancing lazily through the air. Even though I knew no one was home, I tried to suppress the rustling of the bag I was carrying as much as possible. Why did the bags at the bag sale always have to be paper? It felt like it would be taboo to mar the silent spell of isolation that laid upon the house.

Philippa Stewart, international Movie Star and mother of two, looks back at her life.

She has cleared the first couple of hurdles, that of the legal question as to who she is and the medical question of what gender she is. Academic really, but she told the doctor that she has no interest in finding out why it happened, as long as she doesn’t change back.

Now she waits for the police to close the case, as long as her fingerprints match those taken by the police from her room at home and the school she left in a hurry.

Her mother is on the verge of a breakdown and her father is insisting she continue her education. She has yet to meet her family and friends as Philippa, and what about poor old Thor?

But what does she want to do?

Yet again, she feels that others are pressing her to do things to fit in with their plans for her, and not letting her choose her own destiny.

Find out what happens.... read on....

Dreamer: Part 6

By Tanya Allan
Original Version Copyright © 1972
Revised version Copyright © 2012


Philip Coates is seventeen and convinced that he is not only trapped in a boarding school for boys, but also trapped in the wrong body. He spends most of his time lost in a world of his imagination. In this world he is the girl he always wanted to be. The girl who screams at him to set her free in every minute of every waking hour, and most of the sleeping ones as well.

Trapped in a social square hole, he becomes simply what everyone - parents, friends, teachers - want and expect him to be. He knows that he wants to be a round peg, but will, in reality, never make it.

Well, he wakes up one morning convinced that his dream might just be coming true.. or is it?

The signs are there, but then again, are there other explanations for what he is going through?

After a rough few days, the girl is set free.

The future is now gloriously uncertain and fresh, as she sets out on a journey, turning her back on her school, her friends and her old home.....

........or is it?

I think that now makes me an old git. if not an old git, then a grumpy old bastard :)

I never thought I'd get this far and if I hadn't stopped riding bikes and driving cars like a complete maniac, I probably wouldn't have.

That means that by rights, I should now live forever...

God help you all.
