Dr. Dorian Ashcroft was no stranger to life on a submarine. Dorian had served three tours of duty as a sonar technician on the Los Angeles Class submarine USS Charlotte in the late 1990s. His last tour in the North Atlantic had taken him to depths he’d not seen on prior tours. Dorian entered the Navy after high school as a way to pay for college. After basic training he spent 16 weeks in sonar technician training figuring his skills at math, science and listening to 90s grun...

She looked up briefly from her iPhone to acknowledge me with a quick nod before returning to her besties. Laura smiled at me and said “I wonder h...
Weekly Contest #235
"I ran *huff* as fast *huff* as I could!" I sputtered as I stood on the front porch of the tan double-wide trailer, hands on my knees and gasping for breath. The sweat from my brow burned as it dripped into my eyes. Jimmy came running up behind me in no better shape than I was. "Billy, what the heck are you running up here all hot and bothered about," Mom asked as she opened the cracked screen door to let us inside. "Come on in and cool off, let me get you a.."
