Can anybody tell me just what is so special about cucumber sandwiches? You know those dainty, crustless smelly little things you sometimes get at parties? I loathe cucumbers. I loathe brussel sprouts more though but that's another story I will write sometime. WHO decided they should be served at a party? Probably someone in the 1800's having a garden party. Didn't have anything else in the garden except cucumbers so prete...

A bubbling pit of shit,you shouldn't go near it,but there was this tit,who went near it. Curiosity was written upon his face,so he took up his maceand peered upon the waste.His nostrils were filled with it,"Poo, it really is a pit of shit!"He said as he gazed upon the pit.A hungry hawk flew above,"Mmm, I'm sick of dove,"the hawk licked his lips,and flicked out his tallon tips.With a swoop, he headed towards the pile o' po...

As I gaze into the gaping hole,I'm amazed at nothingness inside.No contents, just a quartet of shiny walls. My hunger may be temporarily quelled,but my bag of crisps is empty. One handful after another,salty goodness fills my being.Crunching and munching,I smile. But as I look into the gaping abyss,I long for more. Can I have some more crisps please?Damn I ate all my crisps.

I stroke my beard,am I weird? Well you have to be weirdto wield a beard!Like a Lord,I strut about with a sword.Am I a Lord? No, but I have a sword!A bacon sandwich,I eat at Nantwich.I have a stitch,Oh, bloody sandwich!I’m an ordinary man,eating a sandwich,but I didn’t planon going to Nantwich.I wanted a beer,but there wasn’t one here,so I went to Nantwichand ate a sandwich. Now off I goto drink a beerwith a queerand say “...

Chapter13 by Kari and Rascal Jason was about to protest his innocence when she suddenly calmed down, smiled, and seemed to roll with the situation. He watched her gather the shreds of dignity around her as she announced she was off to see to her duties. After she left, Jason looked at Donny. "How are the rest of the crew taking this? I...I like Sive. I'd like this to be...more like what the two of you have. But I don't wa...

Chapter12 By Kari and RascalOnce Sive was finished showering she stepped out of the stall, reaching for a clean towel to dry off with. She kept wondering where Jason had gotten to. Having nothing to put on but the towel, she wrapped it around herself and headed back to her quarters. Once dressed again she decided to locate Jason and find out why he hadn't joined her in the shower. Since it was late she figured to try his...

Chapter 11 By Kari and Rascal (Note; Rascal has now taken Jason's role) Jason's grin faded when he got to his empty cabin. Sive had changed her mind, that was clear. The situation was snarled good. He'd made a fool of himself, no doubt. He'd have to suck it up and keep the brightest light he could about it. She was young, and might have cold feet about an old guy like himself. He went to the common room for coffee, then b...

Chapter 10 By Kari and Khadaj When Jason asked about cancer risks, Sive's heart beat a little faster, she finally got the courage to look him straight in the eyes. To her vast relief there was no abhorrence or disgust on his face, just curiosity. She had feared that there was a real possibility that he would kick her off the 'Angel' and never want to lay eyes on her again. She smiled slightly before beginning, “Of course,...

Chapter 8 By Kari and Khadaj Once Sive entered the bridge, Zlanta got right down to business, showing her the various stations to her new crew-mate. Since most of them looked very much like her scout ship, only much more grand, Sive had no trouble absorbing all the information from Zlanta.  “I think I have the basics down now Zlanta, unless we come across some real bad storms or pirates I shouldn't have to bother anyone o...

Chapter 7 By Kari and Khadaj At 0600 the comm dinged, and Zlanta's voice came out. "Sive, time fer breakfast an' tha tour of tha ship. Capt'n's already in the cahmon room. You awake, chile?" At Sive's answer the comm clicked off. When Sive heard the comm ding, she jumped up. Pressing the comm button she replied. “I'll be right there Zlanta.” Having one last look in the tiny mirror, she saw something she hadn't seen in mon...

Chapter 6 By Kari and Khadaj Jason thought for a few minutes before answering, "Actually, I do. You found that pendant on your desk just before you had to disappear, eh? That in itself is suspicious, not to mention you've said a couple of times how whomever is chasing you has been able to stay on your trail." Jason stroked his chin, staring at the pendant which was framed by her small breasts. "I think Donny should have a...

Chapter 5 By Kari and Khadaj Rubbing her bruised wrists, Sive turned as she looked up at Jason. “How can I ever thank you for risking your lives for me just now?” Her eyes widened as Jason's last words finally sank in giving Sive some hope. “Wait....did you just say what I thought you did? Are you sure you want me aboard your ship, now that you know my history? And what about the other crew members? Their lives will be in...

Oh faithful Dreamcast, Thou may be ancient, but how I love thee so.Thy insanely loud fans and Maddeningly long loading times Serve only to endear me towards you. Thou art mine and I art thine, eternally, my love.

Chapter 4 by Kari and Khadaji Watching Jason as he speaks about her test results makes Sive wanted to shout, (I've never cheated on a test in my entire life you Dumb Ass Spacer!) She could feel her temper rising, but stops herself by biting her lip. He moves like a cat watching his prey until he is sitting in front of her, continuing in a different vein, his words reaching her like no one had been able to in years. Sive l...

Chapter 3. by Kari and Khadaji Sive could only watch dumbfounded as Jason left the portmasters. Fuming she went after him, practically skipping along side him she breathlessly added, “Look my friend, I didn't mean to offend you back there, I really do need this job, you saw those goons, they won't stop coming after me until I either pay up or they get their credits some other way.” She shuddered as she finally realized th...
