My stories

Cherry

The Net Caster (Part Twenty-Two)

I began to laugh from fatigue, shock, grief, and an overriding terror of being locked down here in this cellar with a group of disparate and apparently ill-matched Bios.
Cherry

The Net Caster (Part Twenty-One)

Cherry

The Net Caster (Part Twenty)

Face to face with the man I had been searching for, the man I grew up with, the man who betrayed me. The man who was either dead or had never existed.

Hope you're feeling a bit better now, Jean. It sounds like quite a little community in the chemo department! I hope that the companionship and shared experiences help. I recently had to attend a day ward for the better part of a week for...
