The light from the laptop illuminated the small closet the hacker was crouched in.
Glancing at his watch, he shifted to pick up the cable running from the side of his computer.
Under his breath he spoke, “four. three. two. one.”

For today’s A-Z Challenge I’m going to direct you to the various Haiku I’ve written over the last few months. I got started with these thanks to the Genre Haiku Challenge over at Rob’s Surf Report

Poor sleepy rodent,
to forecast seasons we wake.
Winter is ending?
The clouds parted, the full moon’s light shining down on the yard. Two young hares, rump to rump like duelling pistols, crouched by the gate.

Five fortnights following, fleets from far Fornax fly.
Fragmented forces foray.
Formidable foreigners face flu failure.
I thought I would try something a bit different and challenge myself to write a bit of flash fiction using only F words. It was much harder than I expected. I was partially inspired by both H.G.Wells and recent events here at home.

Feel free to read the piece if you haven’t yet and join in the conversation there or on this one.

Back in mid-March the family and I got the chance to head down to my home town of Kansas City to attend Planet Comicon. We had a blast meeting the stars (more on that in a later post), listening to panels and just seeing everything we could see.
As you would expect there were tons of folks wondering around in costume. Everything was represented from sci-fi to fantasy, kids shows to stuff for those a bit older.
The quality ran from decent, to WOW that is amazing. Here are just a few of the costumes we saw.
Beginnings, life is full of them.
Your first day of school. The start of a new job.
For me a lot of my best memories of beginnings start shortly after the beginning of my first year of college. Continue reading Beginnings
