♠⛥ The End ⛥♠ of these regular weekly posts. For a while, at least. I'll still post from time to time, when I have something specific to say. Stay in touch at www.bit.ly/BurningBookLinks or follow new releases at www.amazon.com/author/burning

This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend The end of our elaborate plans The end of everything that stands OK, maybe not everything. But it’s the end of these regular weekly blogs/posts/podcasts. For a while, at least. Why? I’m getting old. As simple as that. I need to prioritize my time as it streams past my incredulous eyes in ever-faster, ever-shorter bursts. The…

♠ Fate's warning ♠ “Survival rates for women are nearly four times greater than men. We will have a shortage of fertile men and a glut of women. When our goals are complete, don’t you fancy being put out to stud?” www.amazon.com/author/burning

“This is nuts. You’re going to kill millions to create your vision of the world.” “Oh yes,” agreed Debbie. “It’s for the …” “Greater good?” ventured Connor. “The Nazis practiced genocide on an industrial scale. What you’re proposing will make that seem like a bar brawl. In an empty bar.” Debbie beamed at him, mouth slightly open. Her tongue ran across her upper lip. “But we have ways of…

♠ No more mister nice guy ♠ "If I had died, you would have left me here for Dale. As a plaything.” “Just for a couple of hours. He doesn’t like it when the bodies get too cold." www.amazon.com/author/burning

“Wait.” Connor looked from Debbie to Dale. “If I have any kind of virus, then the radiation, or whatever, given off by this clown,” he gestured to the top bunk where Dale had hidden himself under a blanket, “will be killed along with me?” Dale’s breath was quickening. Connor hoped it was because of the lack of oxygen under the blanket, but the gentle squeaking from the bunk bed suggested…

Connor had to tear his eyes away from Debbie’s smile – and her more distracting assets – when Dale started whooping like a banshee on heat. The kid had leaped off the bed and was bouncing around in circles, whirling his arms above his head and spraying saliva everywhere. “Are you sure he’s been tested?” Debbie laughed softly behind him. “Oh, he doesn’t have the virus. But anyone who comes into…

♠ Welcome home (sanitarium) ♠ Connor approached the bars. Not the kind of bars he was used to approaching. And not the kind of reception he was used to receiving. www.amazon.com/author/burning

“I haven’t got the virus. I’ve been tested.” “Then you’ll die from something else. Suffocated in your sleep, most probably. If you live that long.” Connor walked the three paces to the door and pulled on the handle. “You’re funny. I like you. I’m Dale. Did I mention that?” “You mentioned that you were going to tie the sheet around your neck and hang yourself from the top bunk.” Connor sat down…

♠ Enter Sandman ♠ “Tell me Dale, were you dropped on your head as a baby?” Connor scanned the room for anything he could use to hit him with. www.amazon.com/author/burning

Connor woke with a searing headache and blurred vision on the bottom bunk in another small room. At least he wasn’t tied up this time. He sat on the flimsy mattress and rubbed his head, trying to make sense of everything that had happened. He looked around the room. Harsh fluorescent tube lights tried to penetrate his skull. He stood, groggily, and ran his fingers through his hair. Mouth dry,…
