    Does anyone know this story?

    Okay... I regret that I don't have much in the way of updates on existing stories. I assure you that I have been working on 14th C, Homecoming, and The New Blood, but my inspiration has been... fickle.

    I'm going back through some stories I remember liking on this site so as to put some fuel on the creative fire and get my brain back onto the right train of thought.

    Stories I Never Started, Won’t Start, Wish I Could Start

    I barely have time to work on the stories I’m currently plugging away at. (“WE KNOW!” comes the shout of the Angry Mob). Worse, even when I do have time I’m often so mentally exhausted that I don’t want to write.

    The New Blood, Haitus Ends

    After months of not publishing anything in any story, The New Blood wasn't the story I expected to come back with, but it's the one I managed to finish. Not that I haven't worked on A 14th Century Friar or Homecoming (I have), but New Blood for whatever reason called me back to the frontline.

A Day Which Will Live In Infamy... · 5:55am Dec 8th, 2018

Regrettably, I have been too busy today to craft a proper reflection on December 7th, 1941. Fortunately, the words of the time speak for themselves.

From the site of the attack...

...to the men who lived through it (pay particular note to his closing remarks)...

...to the little moments of soft-spoken heroism...

...to the U.S. entering the war...

...in these words history comes to us. Our history is a living thing. It continues to shape us in ways we cannot imagine. And we must always honor those who gave their lives, either in death or in service; a price that can never be repaid.

Never forget.
