Last Week’s FFF: Wasteland
(This story was set up by author Paul J Willett’s story Beach Road)
As she lay in the grass above the abandoned bridge, she followed the distant helicopter with her binoculars. She knew that she had two options. She could either sprint down to the bridge and scream out to it, or let it pass and hope she went unnoticed. The bridge had a gap in the center that was free of cars, and big enough to fit a helicopter. There weren’t any suspension cables or things to impede it’s landing or take off. And with limited access on two sides, and water on the other two, it would be the ideal spot to get picked up.
Just a few months ago, her course of action would have been clear. She would have laid as still as possible and pray that they didn’t see her. Continue reading

Last Week’s FFF (well, it wasn’t really one, but I put an exert from the second part of my Skyland serial book. Check it out, let me know what you think!) – Windchasers
The first year was the worst, I think. The firestorm came out of nowhere. Hundreds of millions lost their lives that first year. I’ve forgotten a lot of the last seven years, or maybe I just blocked it out, but I remember the day that it all began. Continue reading

The first draft of book 2 of my serial fiction project is complete. Yay! It clocks in at 20, 434 words. Just over my goal. I’m sure it will grow even bigger with the second draft. So, that’s 2 books down, 2 to go. Hooray! Skyland has been edited, and is ready for round two. I’m sending Windchasers to my Alpha reader for feedback. But I’m going to wait to do a global draft 2 until all four parts are done. For now, it’s time to start Submerbia. (I need to think up names for the actual book and series. Any suggestions are appreciated.)
For today, however, in excitement for finally being finished with it, I’m posting an exert from the first chapter. Let me know what you think! Sorry there is no separate FFF, I had a quick day, consisting of waking up way too late, taking a shower, riding the bus to work, working, and coming home. And now it’s almost 1am. But I hope you enjoy the exert and any feedback is appreciated. Keep in mind, it’s still first draft status. 🙂
WINDCHASERS
The wind drove me forward, as it did all things. My people, the livestock, and the dust. Torrential force slapped at my backside as I made my way along. Hood over head, the thick sheep-hide cloak shielded my weather-thickened skin from the brunt of it. Still, as it pressed upon me, it was a constant reminder of the urgency of our migration.
