Ms. Maple, Chapter Three By Garon Whited Bronze was thirsty after running a locomotive. She expanded the truck’s gas tank while we looked for a filling station. She then drank the tank dry on a mere sixty-mile drive to Big Spring. I filled it again before we...
Jerry, Chapter Seven by Garon Whited Jerry sat in the Captain’s chair and regarded the polished gleams of the Bridge. The ship was silent. Gone was the lively chatter from the little Astrogator. What else was missing? Some sort of background noise? Maybe. God...
Jerry, Chapter Six by Garon Whited “Pop?” Kent pulled his head out of the guts of a machine. “What’s up, Punkin?” “I’ve been thinking.” “Always a good idea. More people should try it, if only for the practice. What have you been thinking about?” “I don’t think the...
