I liked this. Kinda Stephen Kingish. Oddly enough, I was just in Rockford. Saw a Riverbats game and went to the Speedway.

Paul sat on a cot in his cell while the shadows of iron bars striped his wall. “Your family is originally from town here, aren’t they?” Geary asked. Paul nodded. “My father moved my mother and I out to the farm when I was still a baby. My sister was born a few...

I posted the end of the story immediately after writing it, sometime after one in the morning. I'll probably need to clean up a few errors. Or a lot. I did notice that I somehow demoted Stilton from Colonel to Captain about a week and half ago. I just went ahead and made his new rank uniform...

Thank you all for taking the time to comment in this thread. I had intended for this to be a 400 word story and nothing more. I hope you enjoyed reading it as I did writing it.

On the whole, Stilton would have done something about the name. “All I’m saying is that it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, eh?” he said. Niles drew on his cigar and shrugged. “I felt that under the circumstances he should be able to name it whatever he...

The German galleon was nearly on top of them by the time Nelson and Ernie could warn Stilton. He stepped outside the gates of Colin City just as the great ship passed in front of what he hoped would someday be a harbor. “Did you see that?” Stilton shouted. Nelson was standing...

Captain Stilton awoke the next morning to a knock at his door that turned out to be Professor Nelson and a rough looking lad holding a shovel. “You’ve formed a protection racket?” Stilton guessed. “You said you needed a worker as quickly as possible,” Nelson...

So how do I put this? Solid writing, for what's it worth. Technical and mainstream in a Clancy sort of way, though I haven't read him in years. But where are you going with this "Shrub" thing? (And on a much lesser note, I always play on Chieftan. Life is enough of a challenge without...

The orange line stretched through the field of grass and disappeared into the horizon. It passed unscathed through stone and wood and, as we’ll soon see, a swordsman’s foot. If you looked closely enough, you would see the line brighten and dim very, very faintly, giving a...

Thanks, everyone. I plotted out the rest of the story this morning and right now I've got four more installments plus an epilogue before it’s done. There’s some fierce landscaping looking at me for tomorrow night but I can probably get the next chapter out soon.

The sign on the desk read “Assistant Spymaster,” with the word “Assistant” in bold, underlined, italics that had nearly blinded the man who had carved it. Ludwig was very specific about his title. Head Spymasters had a bad habit of catching blowgun darts dipped in...

You are officially my favorite human being on the planet.

Interlude II Ludwig the Assistant Spymaster was the current record holder at his position. He had held the job for just shy of six months. Prior to that he had done fieldwork in Babylon (sabotaging production), eastern Germany (following British troop movements), and a short stint...

The Governor of Colin City smiled graciously at Captain Stilton and Niles the Scout. Wait a minute…Colin City? “My understanding is that the settler in question was under duress at the time of the city’s founding,” the Governor said. “A name was needed as...

Thank you all. I did write several other chapters. The problem is that none of the ones I worked on is the next chapter. Other writers may understand this… The German Privateers steered toward… The dark waves crashed against the prows of the surging Privateers, which were...
