  • Happy Easter

    Hope it’s a lovely day for you.

    Things are still pretty difficult for my family. Mom’s pretty weak so one day I had to go over and help her get up from the toilet. So…there’s my glamorous life these days. I pray each day that she passes in her sleep for all of us but especially her. This all so robs humans of their dignity late in life and it’s just…unfair. To make it to 94 only to experience this? Just…ugh.

    I am sorry to bring this up in my Happy Easter message.

    I got my first vaccine dose and am due for the next April 19th. The first was a breeze other than a slightly sore arm so hopefully I won’t jinx myself with the second. M’s sister who was visiting us went home and she just got her second of the Moderna. So far other than a very sore arm, she just feels super tired.

    Still behind on updates. Sorry. But I did get my first chapter ready for Monday’s new Starfleet Academy Fic. It’s a bit of an AU, I mean even more than you might expect, but I think you will really like the direction it takes.

    Looks like I will be going back into the office part time in the summer sometime. I think it’s going to be a hybrid kind of thing. M’s still looking for a new job.

    Anyway it’s perfect weather here. Spring has arrived full bloom.

  • Coming Up for April 2021

    So I think what I’m going to do for April with the MWF flashes that begin next week is connect the flashes into a Starfleet Academy/Riverside Fic. So the story will post April 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23. 26, 28, and 30. They may not post at any certain time of the day if I don’t get the chapters done ahead of time, but for now that’s my goal.

    In the meantime, here are some recent personal pictures.

    Here’s a bonus flash…look for regular flashes to reappear MWF of next week

    “So, I’ve decided to resign my commission and retire to Risa,” Jim announced to his senior officers during a briefing on the recently completed mission. He’d risen to give his speech.

    “Sir?” Sulu asked, frowning.

    “I know it’s a big shock, but I’ve actually been thinking about it for a while.” Jim glanced at Spock, who sat nearby, blank-faced. “Probably a good time to tell you Spock and I got married two months ago too. So he’s coming with me. As to who will be captain–”

    Everyone began to talk at once, so many in fact Jim couldn’t make out who was saying what.

    “I knew it! You owe me fifty credits.”

    “It’s about time.”

    “I thought they were never going to get around to it.”

    “I thought the idiots weren’t even at the point where they realized it themselves.”

    Okay, that was Bones.

    Jim sat back down and glanced at Spock. His first officer was looking very concerned. Jim figured he looked the same.

    “At what point do I say April Fools?”

  • March 31, 2021 Flash Fic

    This is the last of the 100 word flashes folks. I hope you enjoyed them. I don’t know what April brings yet. We will see.

    Spock woke suddenly from a very bad dream. He did not normally have nightmares. But they were not outside the realm of possibility.

    “Jim.”

    The name he had cried hoarsely in the dream was still settling in his raw throat.

    Spock rose from his bed and went through the bathroom he shared with his captain. He quietly stepped into Jim’s quarters and padded barefoot to the side of the bed.

    Jim was turned on his side, fast asleep.

    Spock could breathe again. He touched his index finger gently to Jim’s cheek.

    “T’hy’la.”

    And soon Spock would tell him.

    “I have the great Kirk where I want him.” The Gorn put a scaly hand on Jim’s battered, swollen face. His other hand jabbed Jim in his injured stomach. “I’m going to split you open and cook your meat over an open fire. We will dine on your flesh tonight.”

    “And here I thought you were vegetarians.”

    The Gorn hissed. “Your insolent bravery will soon be replaced with cries for mercy.”

    The whir of the transporter had Jim grinning, bloody teeth and all.

    “Or not.”

    He reappeared on the Enterprise and collapsed to the ground.

    “What took you so long?”

  • March 29, 2021 Flash Fic

    “I can’t stand that guy.”

    Jim glanced over to the table in the cafeteria where Gary pointed. “Which one?”

    “The Vulcan. Professor Spock. Bastard threw me out of his class.”

    Just then Spock rose from his seat where he lunched with several other professors and headed toward them.

    “What the fuck? He’s coming here,” Gary complained.

    Jim barely stopped from smiling when Spock did, indeed, stop at their table.

    He held two fingers out toward Jim, who met them immediately.

    “I will see you tonight, Jim.”

    When Spock left, Gary sputtered.

    “You just Vulcan kissed him!”

    “Yep. He’s my boyfriend.”

    “Damn it’s c-cold. Reminds me of the time you stranded me on Delta Vega. In violation of—”

    “I do apologize.” Spock paused. “Again.”

    Jim gave him a mulish look. “Now see that’s when your apology seems insincere. You adding that again.”

    “Captain, I suggest rather than bickering about past matters that cannot be undone, we huddle together for body heat until the Enterprise can rescue us.”

    Jim bit his lip. “We can huddle in that old dilapidated building.”

    Jim took a step forward and the icy ground beneath him began to crack.

    Spock reached for him. “Jim!”

  • An update

    Just a brief update.

    I’m pretty slow right now updating and I recognize that. I hope to get the next chapter of Our So Called Life done next. I haven’t even started it.

    Besides the whole business with Mom (who is fading, to be honest, and there’s all the emotion behind that, good long life or not), M’s sister is visiting with us right now until March 31st. M is having eye surgery due to Glaucoma today as a matter of fact. So yeah. $3000 eye surgery. Ugh. It always pours when it rains.

    So my time writing is quite limited right now. And I want to write, I do. But the time…

    The good news is I get my first dose of the vaccine next week. I cannot wait.

    I now return you to your regular programming!

  • March 25, 2021 Flash Fic

    Jim mother’s face appeared on the terminal screen in front of him.

    “Uh-oh. What’s wrong?”

    Jim laughed. “Nothing.”

    “My baby calls me out of the blue and nothing is wrong? Sure. Where have you been hurt?”

    “Nowhere. Listen, I…I started a relationship. A serious one. And I wanted you to—”

    “Oh.” Her eyes widened. “Where is she? Let me meet her.”  

    Jim turned and reached out his hand toward Spock. “He is right here.”

    Spock allowed himself to be tugged into view. “It is a pleasure to meet you.”

    She grinned and leaned forward. “The pleasure is all mine.”
