Drink the Worm (WT 26)

When Patrick and I woke up last Friday, we never imagined that aliens would use us to conquer the planet. Some things just never cross your mind. But that was last Friday. Today, we're taking a well-earned sunner in Cabo.

Lord Bertrand's Halloween (WT 32)

"Over near the bar, Lord Bertrand, mingling with the other guests." Colin pointed to three muscular young men who appeared to be naked. A closer look revealed form-fitting, clear-rubber costumes covering their bodies from head to toe. The only openings were holes for their eyes and an inch-long slit for their mouths. Hayden Bertrand-Doyle caught sight his Great-Uncle. He tapped Troy and Chance and they walked over to greet their host. Lord Bertrand admired the suits - so anatomically perfect for each boy and so revealing. The costumes fit like a second skin and gave their bodies the appearance of marble.

(WT 31) Frankie and Robin

It was Halloween night, but there'd been no trick or treaters at the home of Frankenstein, who was about to go to bed when the doorbell rang. He opened the peephole.

"Pizza delivery." A handsome young man crowned with golden curls, waxed and polished horns curved up over his head and cloven feet stood holding a checkered pizza box. His smile charmed. His eyes invited. Frankenstien scowled, or tried to.

Dogs At Midnight (WT 30)

It was Halloween night, but there'd been no trick or treaters at the home of Ayden Cain. The mark warned the living. He was about to go to bed when the doorbell rang. Dressed only in boxers, he opened the door. Death, master of all living things, stood naked -- pale skin stretched over bones, tall, a black mass of curls over his thin face. Death was always welcome in the house of Cain.

This turned into DOGS AT MIDNIGHT and was published by THE TINY GLOBULE:

(WT 39) I knew this broad was trouble

I knew this broad was trouble from the first time she stepped into the Barfing Beagle. She wore bad-girl blue jeans and a street-slut halter. On one shoulder she cradled a Denebian Antimatter rifle. Conversations stopped. Heads turned. Her free hand held a cell phone to her ear.
"Which of those ass-kissing-weasels screwed the pooch this time?" she asked.

(WT 28) The Body in the Bathroom

"Thanks to a nasty divorce, this house is a bargain -- five bedrooms, three baths, media room, pool, 5 acres sitting next to a county park, only used on Sundays for grandma's tea parties." The agent unlocked the double door and entered the grand hallway decorated in creams, reds and golds. Rick and Rhonda wrinkled their noses.

"Something smells and it ain't roses," Rick laughed.

Alien Transmutator (WT 26)

The Cypress Grove (WT 12)

A Story about reforestation and conservation. It's great to commit to a cause, but sometimes - if, maybe, probably and possibly - you get carried away in the pot. I must say, that's going to far, isn't it? Would you mind being part of a grove, or wouldn't you?

Emmisary to the Sun World (WT 5)

The portion of the story I wrote:
EMMISARY TO THE SUN WORLD

(synopsis)
Of the many alien races discovered by human explorers, the humanoids of Epsilon Orionis are unique. They can absorb and manipulate pure energy with their metallic bodies. Earth initiates a secret operation to obtain the technology. Eager to succeed, Ambassador Spanner Templeton, Captain Randall, Lieutenant Buck Owen and First Mate Milo Orrington secretly guide the crew of the Dreadnought Apollo and a cohort of marines through their conversion to metallic humans regardless of the consequences.
A xenophobic cabal of humans has opened a gateway to another dimension. In a misguided effort to preserve the purity of the human race, the xenophobes will allow the inter-dimensional aliens enslave and isolate the human race, maintaining its purity. Only the metalized humans can prevent alien domination and enslavement.

DUTY AND HONOR IN TERRA COTTA (WT 8)

I posted this on my website for March, 2007.
Since then, I received a set of comments from an editor. I will no doubt revise the story to fix its current shortcomings.

DUTY AND HONOR IN TERRA COTTA

(WT 19) Piscean Conquest

I changed the premise from outerspace to Atlantis, the lost continent.
There's a water sport called Underwater Rugby where the team plays entirely underwater with only snorkels, no oxygen tanks. So let's say that someone discovers Atlantis deep in the Atlantic and a business venture wants to put a base of operations down there. Wouldn't it be nice to have men who can live down there?
