Here's something else I've been "working" on...

Okay, here's a part of a story I started a couple years ago. I got stuck around page 52 with no idea where to take it. If you want more of it, let me know, if you like it, let me know. If you don't like it then be nice.

He awoke suddenly. Sitting up and looking around, he did not realize where he was. Nothing was recognizable to him. He put his head in his hands, straining to remember what happened the day before. Slowly images started coming. There was an accident, yet he noted his surroundings did not appear to be those of a hospital. Was he dead and in some kind of spiritual limbo like the priests have always said was there for those who did not receive their last rites? He had no references to compare it to, so he set that aside in his mind. Back to the accident, he thought. He searched his memory to what was going on before the accident. Then he saw HER in his mind. She was a woman of average height, but was built. Boy was she built he thought. Busty, slim waist, nice hips and an ass you just want to squeeze. She was blonde and when he had seen her she was in that very skimpy bikini. The type that barely concealed the nipples on the breasts, and a thong that was just barely legal. She was the cause of the accident. Well she didn’t know she was, but her attire and beauty had distracted him enough that he lost control of his car and rammed the car in front of him. “Damn these hormones!” he thought.
“Wait, if that was the accident, then why am I here and where the hell am I?” Taking a more careful look around he noted that he was on a bed. At first it appeared to be an average bed, a bit more comfortable than what he was used to, and he made a mental note to inquire as to what type of mattress it was. He wanted one. He looked at the wall on his left. It was bare and painted white. Well that was a normal color. Looking right, the wall on that side also appeared white. No windows on either side, so he looked behind him and the view was the same, just a white featureless wall, like the other two. The wall in front of him, however was a bit different. It had a mirror and sink off to his left near where the wall on the left met the wall in front. Also, there appeared to be a slight difference in the color and texture of the wall. He got up and approached the wall, running his hand along it, feeling its slightly bumpy texture, suddenly turn smooth as glass, then, after about 4 feet, it resumed its former texture. Pausing, he looked up then down. Looking at that smooth spot, wondering what it could mean. Then it came to him in a flash, it’s a door. But how does it open? He pressed on it. Nothing happened. He pushed harder. Nothing again. He hit it with his fist, then something happened. His fist hurt, it is a pretty solid door after all.
“Now what?” he thought. It was at that point, that he realized he was naked. Looking around he noted 2 things. One was that the clothes he was wearing the day before were nowhere to be found. The second thing was that there were no blankets, sheets or even a pillow on the bed. Nothing with which to hide his nudity. “Humph” he thought, “well it’s warm enough”, also noting his lack of shrinkage.
He walked over to the sink, and wondered how the water worked, since there appeared to be no faucet handles. He put his hands under the spout, and water came out. It was warm, not hot, not cold but just right. “Damn, I wish this was cold water, I’m thirsty”, as he cupped his hands to drink, the water suddenly cooled to his desired coolness. Bending down and lifting his hands to his mouth, he drank until he was satisfied. Then wondering the extent of his verbal control, he said, “I would like some hot water for tea”. Still holding his hands under the running water, the temperature started increasing until he could stand it no more, then he noticed that the water coming from the spout was not clear, it was brown. It appeared to be the color of tea. He lifted his fingers to his mouth and tasted. It tasted like tea.
“whoa, what’s going on?”

Here's something that might be entertaining

Here's something that might be entertaining. If you like it or don't, let me know (post a comment). But be somewhat nice, please. :)

A boy's story...

He heard a noise and turned. To his left was his friend William. To his left was Robbie. William was smart and quiet. Well he was usually quiet; the noise Jim had heard had come from William. William had brown hair and was not especially athletic, but if he was on your side, you stood a good chance of coming out on top because with his intelligence came a good dose of cunning. He could sneak up on you without you hearing him until it was too late and he tagged you.
Robbie was not as smart as William, but he was stronger and faster. In tag, when Robbie tagged you, you felt it. He didn’t hurt you and even if he did, he didn’t mean it, he was just stronger than he can control sometimes. Robbie had black hair and was a bit bigger, but he was a true and loyal friend. Jim had met both of them soon after he arrived. They had stepped in and stopped some of the others from bullying him. Since that day the have been inseparable.
Playing tag was one of their more favorite games. It allowed them to run around laughing and playing, as kids were wont to do. Sometimes, like this time, the elders allowed them to go hunting with the adults, thus the need for quiet. Of course the boys wouldn’t be in on the kill, but they knew what was going to happen. Their biggest hope at this point was that there was enough time to play after the hunt was over.
They stopped. Not just the three boys, but everybody stopped. Jim could feel the tension in the air and it excited him. Then with much noise, the kill was done. It was a large deer and would provide enough food for the whole group. After they ate their fill, they rolled around in the grass. Jim looked up and realized it was time to go home. He turned toward his friends, then toward his own home and started walking that way. Looking back he saw his friends following him. The sky was starting to brighten with a new day as Jim neared the gate. He turned again and in his human form held out his hands. His friends approached him and licked him. He knelt down and rubbed their heads and hugged them. It saddened him to have to leave his friends and not be with them until the next full moon. He wished that the curse he had been inflicted with had left him a wolf all the time instead of just once a month. He longed to run and play with his friends everyday. He sighed and turned and went through the gate. William and Robbie trotted off toward the woods where they would be safe from the humans.

2 years 4 days

Well, it's been 2 years 4 days since I posted on this blog. I know you all have been quivering in anticipation to read my new posts. I can see you there sitting with your fingers poised impatiently over the keyboard, just itching to refresh the screen to see what other nuggets of wisdom I put forth on here.

Like I said, it's been 2 years and 4 days since I've posted. Since then, mom passed (July 2009), Dad collapsed and had to have a pacemaker installed. He's doing okay now. I appreciate Dee keeping us all informed with her texts and Chris doing the same on Facebook.

I turned 52 last July. I went to Idaho in June or was it May? Went to Utah in December (2010) to see family (Jennifer, Kevin, Dee, Larry, Dad, Mom, James and his wife Jen and their 2 kids). I drove up and dragged Holly with me. We had a great time and due to inclement weather, Holly got to spend a couple days more with them. At both times I had a great time visiting. I've realized again what a great family I have. My siblings and parents are great and I feel blessed to have such a family. Especially my wife. I love her very much and don't know how or why she puts up with me when I'm crabby, depressed or just plain moody, even when I don't know why I am.

I went to visit Lee and Rhonda and their children this past week. It was a great visit. Becca (their 4 yr old daughter) let me stay in her room and I got to see the twins Evan and Carley. Such cute kids and a lively full house :).

Well this post has been about family, not politics, religion, or my views on things. I hope it wasn't too boring.
