Stories

I need to make this clear–most of these stories do not occur within the same setting. I will make it clear if which stories are somehow related by grouping them together. This is actually part of an evil plot of the Imperial Death Squad of Doom Bunnies to terrorize and confuse you. The Imperial Death Squad of Doom Bunnies is actually quite nice, and really is your only hope of ever encountering the Time Machine of Guam. Now, unless you want them to visit you and inflict upon the worst imaginable horrors, I strongly suggest that you sit back with your favorite bevarage, dim the lights, and enjoy the stories. I happen to prefer hot chocolate. So do the Death Bunnies, but apple cider is acceptable. Enjoy other beverages at your own risk

Oh, and if you want to print these, I suggest copy & pasting them into program that is designed for that.  Printing from a website like this really isn’t a good idea.  I suppose some day I may make pdf’s available, but my steam-powered PDF converter seems to be broken at the moment, and parts for it are hard to come by.

Eia

This story was written about the same time as Treachery (summer 1999) and is one of my favorites from that time period. It speaks to me about the power of a single individual to change another individual’s life. I think we run into people like that a lot in our own lives without really knowing it. Oh, and as a note, the name Eia probably needs a bit of explanation in order for English speakers to pronounce properly, even though it is dead simple. You see, I spent about 18 months in Portugal, and the name is built using Portuguese pronunciation rules. Thus, the ‘ei’ is pronounced as a long a, as in hay or way, while the the last letter is simply tacked on the end as a short ‘a’ like the a in about. Ei-a. Emphasis on the first syllable. It means, roughly, behold. I leave it to native speakers to work out details such as voice other grammatical nitpicks. It is a word seen rarely outside scriptural Portuguese writing. I think it beautiful. Oh, and by the way, I hope you enjoy the story.  Comment are open.
