Hekla the Brave…the beginning…unedited/incomplete…
“She’s no daughter of mine!” Valgoth roared. “I have no daughter, and she’s no place in my clan!” Hylda cried out in a loud voice, “No! I won’t leave her to the wolves. She’s yours, not some filthy welp you sent to try to seduce me. I’ve been faithful to you! Only to you!” “Begone,…

Technological Impact?!
I’m retired, and I’ve been retired for over a decade now. However, in my former career, technology played a pivotal role in our operation. From groundbreaking communication systems to more advanced laser printers, technology played a vital role in everything we did. Even as a retiree, I find myself constantly looking for the newest advancements…

Good afternoon…again…a brief update on today’s going-ons…
Howdy! It’s 1500, and I’m just sitting down to write. Mom and I got out in my yard this morning and went to work on removing the stump of a mature Azalea bush from one of the front flowerbeds. It’s not as easy as it seems, especially when you’re using picks, shovels, an axe or…

Good afternoon…an update about today, from the desk of Jayce Wellspring…
Today has been a day. I got started early and began by drinking a cup of coffee, followed by yard work, and it culminated in loading up some things at our cabin. Now, I am home and sipping coffee. I’ve not accomplished much writing recently, and I’m worse off for it. I did finish A…

The conclusion to A Joyful Life…unedited, but a complete draft…
During the fall of 2022, I raked leaves into a pile in front of my cabin. As I looked around, I began to notice how blessed I was. For instance, I had lost a home in 2011, but now I owned a house that was paid off and thirty acres of land. I’d lost a…

Wishlist…?! Prompt Answer…
This question threw me for a loop for a second. My wife said, “I wish I could spend more time remodeling my home into a state of completeness.” That’s a pretty good answer. I wish I could spend more time looking up at the stars and enjoying the quietness of a simple life. Two answers…

A Joyful Life…a bit of my personal testimony…unedited and incomplete…
For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favor is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalms 30:5 I’m often asked, “Why are you such a curmudgeon?” That question bothers me, if for no other reason than for the sheer audacity of people thinking they know me. …

Describing me…Prompt Answer…
What is one word that describes you? Man, I hate these questions. Mainly because I don’t see myself the way other’s do, and it wants me to describe myself. Hmm. Loyal, that’s a word I use to describe myself. Truthful, brutally so, but that’s another word I use to describe me. Stubborn. Grouch. Friendly. Redeemed.…

It’s A Wonderful Life in rainy Mississippi…A morning musing from the kitchen table…unedited…
I’m up and about this morning, but I’m not in a hurry to do much. The weather is rainy, as it has been all night, and it shows no sign of relenting. I cooked breakfast for my wife, and as we sat at the table and ate, I stared out at the back patio. “This…

Clubber…a fresh snippet of the work in progress…unedited, incomplete…
Tammy walked over, bag in hand, with Lilly right behind her. “Preliminary cause of death,” Tammy began, “was blunt force trauma to the head. I’ll do the usual work up, and see what other surprises await. Give me a couple of days, and I’ll have something for you.” With a nod to Katlyn, Lilly and…
