Hmm, I write stories about the bus-drivers on my bus. I'm on my tenth book, but I can think of millions of things to write about, although to other people writing about bus-drivers is pretty hard to come up with ideas to.

I was writeing a fun little story, however I lost all my work in a computer crash, so I have to start over! I may post some short storie's on my deviant art page as well. haven't got to it yet... considering the fact that I have to redo everything.

If your interested, visit my deviant art page, I'll try to update it with one of my storys in a few days or so. maybe later today if I can.

They just published one of my short stories on the site Darkest Before the Dawn. The story is called 'Little Hammer.' It's about an ex-detective who joins up with a museum curator to uncover a network of violent art thieves. 'Little Hammer' was intended to be a full-fledged screenplay but I converted it to a short story.

I could not find your stories. RATS. I am not very good with computers.

I love the website. The books here will probably float my boat better than the bookstore.

I'm supposed to be. Right now, though, I'm in a combination funk/with the terminal lazies. I'm hoping I can get back to pounding the keyboard soon.

I write short stories, music, songs, drama and poetry, I even wrote a screenplay once.

I'd like to write a novel someday but at the moment I'm just writing short stories. JD Salinger and James Joyce are my favourite authors in the short story genre! they're masters of the form.

Scribd Fate's Horizon

This is a story I wrote, hopefully you can get around the lousy writing. Read it for the concept.
The story is this.

A group of terminally ill patients undergo a procedure to preserve their body until some cure can be found. While in stasis, Bietler medical goes bankrupt after being sued under fraud allegations. The pods are preserved by the company founder on his insistence that the people inside were still alive.
More than three hundred years pass. The world is a much different place, In this new world everyone has undergone a procedure to give them a cybernetic brain. They experienced greatly improved concentration an memory, focus, comprehension, and no longer need sleep. There is a catastrophic unexplained event which causes every electronic device to shut down. The electro-stasis pods shut down, awakening their inhabitents. A few of the patients manage to survive and wake up. Everyone else is dead and they find themselves in a position where they have to repopulate earth before they die of their diseases.
