The Adventures of Lois Lane – Chapter One
What follows is the first part of a planned series of short stories about Lois Lane. It should go without saying, I don't own any of the characters related to Superman. They belong to DC Comics. Basically, this is fan fiction. If you like it, let me know and I'll get cracking on chapter two. … Continue reading The Adventures of Lois Lane – Chapter One
Lois Lane
I think it's safe to say that I've always liked the character of Lois Lane. In fact, she may be the only fictional character that I've consistently had a crush on for most of my lifetime. You can keep your Wonder Women, your Supergirls, your Catwomen... Maybe that can be chalked up to a mostly … Continue reading Lois Lane

Christopher had been waiting all week for Saturday to get here and he had been praying just as long for … Continue reading The Apology
Sharp
Conner could feel how sharp the razor was as it scraped across his face. Shaving was such a hassle, but it was necessary. Especially today. He finished removing the stubble from his cheeks and chin and splashed water in his face. He took a look at himself in the mirror, just to make sure he … Continue reading Sharp
Energy
Becky got the coffeemaker going when she heard the commotion in the living room. I really don't have the energy for their crap this morning, she thought. Not before my coffee. None of them had much energy for anything. After spending a night in the cabin waiting to be mauled to death by some legendary … Continue reading Energy
It’s Out There…
Randy quickly entered the cabin and slammed the door shut behind him. He was breathing heavily and had a panicked look on his face. The others just stared at him, confused. He slowly turned, daring to peek through the peephole in the door. "Dude," Rob said, "What's the matter with you?" "It's out there!" Randy … Continue reading It’s Out There…
