They never really looked like they should be together, the punk girl and the soldier. Age, music, style, clothing, bearing, attitude, all said no. A grand tour of Port Hedland proved that, where no one knew them. Now, as evening closed in, and the sun headed towards the sea, they sat on an isolated …

First Loves: Part II
Men Who Loved Her by Paradise Motel He'd been pulling her along impatiently, but when she stepped on a sharp rock for the second time, she stopped, hopping on one foot, muttering obscenities at the rock, the farm, Australia and fucking stupid Australian snakes walking around in the dark where no one can see. When …
First Loves: Part I
She awoke to an empty bed, not an unusual feeling. The darkened room was strange, only the moonlight glowing through an open window, the curtains waving slightly in the breeze of the Australian night, throwing waving shadows across the room. It felt more than a little creepy to be in Brett's childhood room and bed, …
Coming Home
He'd been obnoxious about the Venn diagram discussion. Intellectually, regardless of what he told Henri, he could recognize the value of such a proposition, and frankly it really wasn't that much different in its objective than many of the threat or target analysis discussions he'd either ran or participated in previously. Course, stylistically, anything related …
Homeward Bound

Mazatlan Massacre – Intro
2018-01-18 0337 I can tell you this is fucking bullshit. I’m tired of the dreams. The nightmares. Not sleeping. I finally went and saw Downs a couple months ago, since Henri wouldn’t give me her head doctor’s name. Course, that’s half a lie covered in secrecy since he only knows me at Smith, the …
Security Briefing – A Ghost Venom Side
