Part 3 of a story and a poem

Today my soon to be epic movie moves on, the start of the story is here (no pictures in this part, so find a picture of a mountain range before you start to read):
Still they looked around. They seemed to be on a plateau near a large body of water. There were a few trees, but [...]

The start of a story and a poem

This will be the first of x posts (with x yet to be determined, but at least one) trying to put together some form of story. I will update it at some intervals (once a week perhaps–it will partially depend on whether anyone reads this and/or comments) and put the current extent on the story [...]

Musical Story

Ok, let’s play with this random 10 thing. First here’s my random 10:
Whatsername (Green Day), Hurricane (Bob Dylan), Love Is A Long Road (Tom Petty), St. Teresa (Joan Osborne), Motel Room in My Bed (X), Secret Garden (Bruce Springsteen), Love Is a Losing Game (Amy Winehouse), Carbon Monoxide (Cake), Surround (American Hi-Fi), I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better (Tom Petty), Dumb (Nirvana), Whipping Post (The Allman Brothers Band)

Another Fred Story

One of the reasons I started a blog was to have somewhere to put all my stupid stories and poems. I’ve been pretty good about the poems, but I haven’t put up a story for quite awhile. To rectify that, here’s an artichoke heart … umm, anyway:
The roar of the sea couldn’t be heard over the [...]

A Story

Ok, this is a lazy weekend so I’m going to put up a story. It’s a story that runs the gamut of emotion, from happy to yellow to fire truck green. Here it is:
I was walking along tomorrow when I noticed a crack in the firmament of the universe and since that sometimes means that [...]

What Was I Thinking?

Well, I haven’t put a story here for quite some time.  What to do?  Ok, a story:
 Update: I delete the story here, because I had already put it up here. I’m a bit out of it, obviously–can I have a potato chip, please?

A Slew of Poems and a Story

Everyone’s been clamoring for lots of poems (and by everybody, I mean nobody) and so here are some:

And the need that was there
Never quite found me to know
The why or wherefore of life
I just seem to know I’m alive
Celebrate, please?

 

‘And so,’ he said,
‘Lo there is nothing
That we can do
E=mc² and boom.’

 

And then there was other
But [...]

Books

I’m always looking for books to read, so I will throw out books I have read and hope others will throw back ones they have liked.  If there are ever any comments here, maybe there will even be discussions.  For now, the bare bones:
I just finished Neil Gaiman’s ‘Neverwhere’ which I liked (I also liked [...]

A Story With a Moral

I noticed I haven’t put up a story or a poem for quite some time.  Very bad of me.  Well then here’s a story:
One day Joe was telling some people about his younger days:
           ”I used to be friends with a guy named Bob.  We grew up together, went to the same school, had similar families [...]

Fall Away

Another two-fer day:
A poem:
People wander in the sky
Blood draining from their mind
Hear their mouths opening
And falling down inside.
and a story (which goes with my elephant envy):
 An elephant was relaxing on top of Fred.  Fred allowed this so the elephant would not object to being sat upon in turn.  And it seemed to work, he had [...]

From Newbury with Love

This sounds fascinating (via Maud Newton–look for her June 21 entry under politics). It shows how one person can affect another life.

Molasses, Petunias, and Potato Chips

Hmm, I have to throw in something of my own. Here’s a story: 
Am I out of my depth?  Plunging below, flying above, missing my aim in a fit convulsing through my toes, I try to decide what I know and why I should care.  Don’t believe anthing I might read, I filter out anything seeminingly amiss.  [...]

A Lonesome Story

Ok, this time I put in a story all by itself:
 It was windy today.  When I walked outside, I got hit by a tree and grapes flew by.  Luckily, the grapes missed me.  I put the tree back in the hole from which it came, weighed it down with a grape or two, and walked [...]
