Liar’s Club, First Three Paragraphs
Started a new short story (or at least that's my plan). It was a dark and stormy night. No, really, it was.

It … Continue reading Liar’s Club, First Three Paragraphs

Spinward Ghost
About 30 winters ago, I played a game called Traveller. It was a role playing game similar to Dungeons & Dragons except it was based on science fiction instead of sword and sorcery. One of my character's possessions was a starship called the Spinward Ghost. The statistics for it will mean nothing to you unless you're … Continue reading Spinward Ghost
