A pale, thin man wearing a silver and black kilt sat upon a throne made of broken promises, a pencil and account book in his hands. His torn black t-shirt proclaimed him to be a patron of the troubadours known as Motorhead. As...
As the sun rose over Sedgewick, a lone figure appeared in the village square. Everyone was used to McTeeth resurrecting each morning by now, but it was still fun to watch.

(Very rough draft. I write out the first draft, send to my wife for editing, then go back over it again and possible add to the story, or rework things. Also add in tables. Then maybe a second edit. Rough drafts posted here will have typos that she'll catch later. This is a short chapter an...

One side might be stronger than the other side and win 99% of the time. But that one time? That one time when the underdog stepped up and won? A great story. David and Goliath level story. Every likes that story, (except for Goliath's sid...
Greetings,
With over 2000 followers, and a few asking me about donating through Patreon, I added 'Set up Patreon' to my schedule. But Patreon is on a computer and counts as "New Fangled Stuff". Which means I know it's never going to be as easy as people say.
