Patreon Exclusive: The Twelve Part 7

 "Thompson found that it opened into a rough natural passageway in the rock which led downward and to the northwest. His tracker isn’t working that far down in the rock because we didn’t equip him with a powerful enough one to penetrate that deep, but he used his suit’s software to create a rough map."

 

Part 7 marks the halfway point! I've finally got the rest laid out and ready to post and it will be a total of 14 parts or chapters that will run until the end of April. I hope you are all buckled in because the roller-coaster picks up in speed from here on!

Have you figured out which fairy tale inspired this story yet?

Patreon Exclusive: The Twelve Part 6

"Instead of meeting two days later, Brig. Gen. Brantley was rudely jerked awake by a priority message alarm in the middle of the night. He groggily hit the button to activate a voice only channel and barked, “What is it?” "

 

At last! Answers to the mystery! But that just leads to more questions in this next part of "The Twelve". Comment below with where you think this story is heading.

I've been working on a new sci-fi short story this week (the one that was supposed to be posted as this month's story in Speculative Scribblings), but it's still not quite done as I ended up with no time for it. Instead, I celebrated a week of birthday stuff, work, and a full on burnt, two day fudge disaster of a birthday dessert. It has been a week, let me tell you. I'm ready to get back to normal this week (and finally make a successful chocolate dessert to feast on!)

Patreon Exclusive: The Twelve Part 5

“Sir, as I said before, I have no solid facts to present, but I did decide to...go off the beaten path so to speak and search for any similar happenings in the past. Of course, I found absolutely zero similar events in the history of our military or the GU, however, I did find something curious in the history of this planet."

Welcome to March with Part 5 of The Twelve! Finally, there's a breakthrough, or rather, a clue, in the case.

Patreon Exclusive: The Twelve Parts 3 & 4

“You fell asleep?” Brantley tried to keep the amusement out of his voice.

“Yes, sir. I tried my hardest to stay awake, though. I can walk quiet when I want to so I patrolled around the barrack checking each room every half hour. But about two hours after lights out, my memory just goes blank and next thing I knew I was sitting in a chair at the front door with sunlight hitting me square in the eye."

The final two parts for February are up in one go! (Mostly because I ran out of time to post part 3 on schedule). The plot continues to thicken as it baffles the poor brigadier general. Will he be able to line up all the puzzle pieces that keep drowning him?

Patreon Exclusive: The Twelve Part 2

"08:30 arrived with a rushing swiftness that left the commander gasping. Or maybe it was only that his dread hastened the speed at which his doom approached. At precisely 08:25, the staff officer manning the front desk informed him that Lieutenant Colonel Kelly had arrived, but the Brigadier General ordered that no one be allowed in till the actual meeting time. Brantley used the last five minutes of peace to organize both his thoughts and his desk. His staff officer had conveniently supplied his office with enough chairs for all the participants so they could keep this private versus using one of the meeting rooms."

 

This story is continuing to lengthen as I tweak it a little bit more. Current estimate is 12 parts! So that means the story should continue releasing till the end of April. Just for my lovely patrons~

Have you guessed yet what fairy tale this is based on?

Speculative Scribblings: The Twelve Part 1 (teaser)

 "A baleful red light solemnly blinking on his datapad greeted Brigadier General Brantley when he returned to his desk. He lowered himself into his chair with a sigh. Yet another report urgently demanding his attention. Would he ever catch a break? No, he quickly answered himself, not on a base this new."

Speculative Scribblings: Snow

“Papa, why did you name me Snow when there is no snow here?”

I was only six when I asked that of my father, but even now so many decades later I remember his answer.

“Snow is beautiful and so are you. But more importantly, snow is a symbol of hope for our planet. We need to keep that hope near and cherish it.”

Welcome to 2021 and the beginning of Volume 2 of Speculative Scribblings! I had this particular story prepped for December of last year but it ended up delayed till this month which worked out beautifully as today my city had it's first snowfall forecasted! Perfect matching of the theme as we don't get snow here very often.

Here's hoping 2021 has just as much hope as the snow brings in this story. Hope is definitely something we all need considering present events.
