The Alien's Bunghole (WT 21)

READ THIS ON MY WEBSITE
New Title: The Alien's Bunghole
Old Title: Ecstasy of Gold
Original Title: Mungo McNevin and the Priests Hole

Two college students encounter an alien device in a pub. The device does strange things to them. And in the end, "Slade ... shuffled the decks and daydreamed of two moons drifting over the ocean of dreams and herds of dreezik roaming the inner plains of his home world in the constellation of Ophiuchus. In a few hours, he would walk on his home world once again."

This story started out life way back in 2007 and I've been cannibalizing the chapters that never seemed to work together. The segments were:
1) On my website in February 2009's "I Fought The Spaceship and the Spaceship Won."
2) "Rannoch Abbey and the Night Visitor" in the anthology: MONK PUNK due out in May of 2011.
3) And the final part I can extract is this story - The Alien's Bunghole.

...And This Has Been One of Them (WT 67)

WT-67
I can't believe a story got completely written and filed on my hard drive without getting an entry here but there it was, sitting there, smirking.

I posted this story on my website. It's my summer gift of fun. Enjoy it.
...And This Has Been One Of Them...

Ryder Eisel (WT 70)

Mining on a distant planet, Ryder Eisel becomes a metal soldier, much like a praetorian guard in ancient Rome.

This was the January 2011 story on my website.

2012 Apocalypse (WT 60)

Now he knows why the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 and what he must do for the next 12 baktun cycles (12 times 144,000 days). The pillars of heaven as represented by the compass must pass on their burden to four new men.
Update #1 (29 Sep 2009): I submitted this to a journal and got rejected.
Update #2 (10 Jan 2010): A third journal and a rejection.
Update #3 (7 June 2010): I published this on my website.

I fought the spaceship and the spaceship won (WT56)

I was rewriting one of the (how do I say this?) "bad idea" or "unworkable idea" or "dead end" ideas and saved this scene as a story all by itself. Don't think this is unusual, lots of stories you read have lost a character that didn't advance the story. Or the author deleted characters because there were too many characters in the story.

UPDATE #1: February 2009 - I "salvaged a fragment from the draft and put it on the website in the Sci Fi Folder as I Fought the Spaceship and the Spaceship Won -- Wayne and Roberto and you get to read about their misadventure with the spaceship. It did not further the story I was trying to write.

That's the reason that a writer would take a segment and save it as a short story or make it into a standalone story.

UPDATE #2: May 2010 - I took a very humorous chunk of the old story and started to make it into a short story for the website but something odd happened... It created a better segment of the origial story, so much so, I have continued with the original ideas and outline I first set out last year.

Now I have to find another story to post.

(WT 55) Treasure Hunters

My creature from the black lagoon story. It's hard to say if any story will actually appear. Treasure hunters in the deep, deep ocean.

Update: I posted a portion of the story on the website.

silicone (WT 3)

March 1, 2010
I took one of the usable portions of this story (About 1100 words) and posted it as a standalone story on my website. Every so often I cannibalize a failed idea like this. This particular idea is three years old and I know that I will not go to go back to it. I'm only posting this to keep track.

August 2007
New idea: A CIA Spy is captured in china. They convert him into a living plastinated statue as punishment.

This idea didn't pan out: Frat boys try to create a display piece but instead convert the body of a friend into silicone rubber. It's like those dissected bodies you see in museums.

First Contact: Antarctica (WT 50)

Something alien is happening in the Ross Sea and the Belleny Islands, ANTARCTICA. It's a protected area so they create a special unit to do surveillance year round. They drop into the sea February 1st and will be picked up December 1st. The Aliens see them in the first few days and expose the suited men to a beam so their bodies begin to transform. Since the men are there for the winter season, they can't remove the suits and don't notice their bodies changing slowly. By the time the "pickup" comes in December, their feet and ankles have extended into flippers and their legs shortened up close to their shrunken hips. They have thick furry coats from the shoulders down and a layer of blubber to keep them warm. Their arms are shorter and their hands are webbed and broadened out into flippers. But they are still human under the mask-like hoods.

Monkey Men From Mars (WT 44)

Published on my website. Go, have fun reading it.

Sweat covered Gary Loopers' body. He pulled his damp t-shirt over his head and dropped his basketball shorts on the floor. Gary stood naked to the blast of cold air. Sean's pet, Mombe, a young male bonobo about five feet tall snatched the shorts, sniffed them and wrapped its arms around Gary's leg. He jumped as hairy hands fondled his privates and felt up his butt other. Gary grabbed the Mombe's wrists and pulled with all of his might.

NYMPHS AND SATYRS (WT 51)

A man finds nymphs and satyrs while on vacation. Plus a goat! And now it's going up on the website:
NYMPHS AND SATYRS
Sometimes being a directionless jerk and a guy who "goes along to get along" and just wanders through life isn't a great idea. Then sometimes, wanting to BE SOMETHING, anything in life is also misguided. But then, maybe it isn't. Who knows? How can we know? All I can really say is that one of these characters likes his stick shift more than anything in life.

CURSE OF SHADOWS (WT 48)

I swore I was never going to write a werewolf story, but this happened. It's going to magazines, so you have to be patient if you want to read it.
