. No one wanted to be the last man… or woman… standing. The human’s domination was over. In the late twenty second century, Cyborgs had come to life, literally. From simple robots, run by programmed computers, filled with Artificial Intelligence features, scientists tried to outdo one another in the race to build a sentient robot. Now, they had succeeded far beyond their own limited imaginations. Cyborgs. The things looked human, they spoke like humans, they acted like humans, dressed like humans, and sure enough, they soon began to control every facet of human living… and began ...

No, the promise, this time, was fame, finding the very beginning of humanity on the dark continent, following in the footsteps of giants like world-renowned ...

The childless couple, with big hearts and open arms, felt a kinship to the Cherokee children in the nearby mission. As time and space on their small ranch allowed, they adopted many. But then, it got crowded. The Longarms moved to an abandoned monster of a ranch, and kept adding. But that ranch held several threats. The Grays, who the Cherokee called gray men, were insistent in taking the land over or killing the family off. Even well after the war. The Bluecoats oddly enough, were doing the same. Bandits were the wildcards. However, Robert Longman raised his 'children' Cherokee white and ...

But then, for some, that is the adventure in itself, is it not? Enjoy, but hang on for a wild ride! #TheStoryteller

Scientists and explorers have known of the Richat Structure, the Eye of the Sahara, for nearly a century. But those early explorers in the late nineteen thirties, had no idea of the shape, for from the ground, it is just too massive too understand. It was in 2005 that an astronaut on a spacewalk, the first to see the thing in such detail, brought real attention to it. It was not just a patch of rocks in the Sahara. It was a series of concentric circles some forty kilometers in diameter, or about twenty-five miles. The question became, "What is it?" or, "Is it dangerous to the locale, or to ...

Hell, I had never loved a Princess, but all was coming to be. And, to tell the truth, in this era, it was really good. ...

There was a Blackfoot so important that it boggles the mind to have him buried in obscurity, lost among the wild tales of success and triumph, regardless of how inaccurate.
