The Misunderstood Kaiju

Synopsis:   King Sonic’s life energy is accidentally drained away by a kaiju, a pangolin named Bronto just as another concert and ball is being planned.    He is sent to bed to recover.   Bronto, however, doesn’t understand his abilities.   He doesn’t mean to take out power grids or drain the life force of living creatures.    Chapter 1—The Massive Thunderstorm  It was a relatively quiet April evening.   The rains were constant, and the climate was a bit chilly.   Flowers were starting to awaken from their winter slumbers and to commemorate the joining of Big Cat and Honey to the every-burgeoning royal brigade, King Sonic had begun planning a concert with his band and a festive ball to celebrate.    ‘The air seems a bit colder than usual today.   Hopefully, snow isn’t in the forecast.  We’re just coming into spring, after all.’, Amy said, astutely.   ‘Cecil and Rotor are our royal weathermen and their prognostications have never been wrong.   So far as I’ve seen, there’s no incli

On Being an Orphan

(originally written in my journal 9/17/17)  At first, I was reluctant to begin writing this, thinking keeping a buttoned lip and cool resolve would somehow eradicate this pain or dissolve it.   Writing helps when it’s a topic like this one.  It’s a mixed bag.    Like mom I have many happy memories spent with my best friend and conspirator.    We often ganged up on my poor defenseless mother and made her laugh until she’d pee herself.    Mom had a weak pelvic floor so this wasn’t really fair to her but we were ruthless when it came to double teaming.     I have many happy memories of dad.  He taught me about physics, plants, all sorts of things.   He didn’t prepare me for finances but I’m learning those hard lessons now.   I wish he could’ve given me some pointers on that.   When I visited Martha and the gang to no one’s shock, I learned papa was quite the player.    He could’ve easily been a model for a clothing company if he had wanted but he loved the babes and they adored his boyish

No Strings Attached

Synopsis:  A Deltarune fanfiction.   Taking place during the ‘string cutting’ route, here we are introduced to a sister that Spamton has all but forgotten until their poignant reunion.    Chapter 1—Mom Tried, but Failed  Spamton was born only minutes before I came into the world.   My mom, Gail, had no idea that she was having twins.   It was as much of a surprise to her as it was my dad, Michael.  Dad often went by ‘Mike’ in the business world.   He felt it made him more approachable, and the nickname was more fun and informal, buttoned up and prim.   It suited him as much as his next actions did once I wailed into the world.    I was named Spamela Gina.   Mom immediately loved me, and I instantly adored my older brother, Spamton.   I called him Spammy once I could speak, but Mike made it apparent he wanted only one child.   Spamton would be his partner.   He wasn’t his son.  He was just another method of making big bucks and Mike could already sense the money rolling in.   Gina

Heir Apparent

Synopsis:  Ambrosia ‘Amber’ Nephus learns that her mother had a tryst with Hermes himself, gifting her the uncanny ability of speed.   This inevitably lends Amber the unfair advantage on the track, and she finds herself running in the Olympics.   Fearing the judges will ban her for use of her demigod power, she tells them the truth and runs as a human.   Even without her demigod super-speed, she is able to win second place and ultimately, the love of her entire country.  ~*~CAST~*~ Ambrosia ‘Amber’ Kore Nephus:  Cordelia Nephus:   Gino Nephus:  Acacia Nephus: (her younger sister) Evander Nephus: (the ‘baby’ of the family) Hermes:  Dionysus:   Aetios Medea: (Amber’s friend and love interest) Anthea Baros: (Amber’s best friend)  Coach Yanni Kallis:   Scene 1—A Strange Ability  Ambrosia:  (leaning forward Mom, could you tell me the story again about how you two met ?   I just love hearing it !   Acasia:  Amber, you have them tell the same story every night.    Evander:   (huffs in frustra
