There are die-hard fans of Western movies and those who watch Westerns for the action and the great nature scenes and of course those darling horses. There are some Western movies that I like with actors like John Wayne but I was never a real fan. Let’s step back in time to look at a famous cowboy actor named Tom Mix. He died a very strange death on October 12‚ 1940. Mix had was involved in a car accident close to his ranch in Florence‚ Arizona. He was driving his single-seat roadster along a straight

Prologue The dense undergrowth gifted comfort to the pads under her auburn tinted paws as light shone from the stars of silverpelt onto a freshly wept tear‚ which caught the light briefly and rejected it moments later. It trickled down a broad white face struck with the dead song of pure and utter sorrow. Thick‚ once exuberant fur ran in the breeze like the tawny-furred rabbits on the moorland. Claws were unsheathed to assist the brawny feline in coming to an instantaneous halt. A bundle of fur

“Fatty? ARIANA!” She was just standing there frozen in a gaze‚ as if she was trapped in a different dimension. I put my put hand on her shoulder and she jumped in shock. “Yes!” That was a strange reaction. Then again… “What do you want this early in the morning?” “I came to see you‚ silly‚” she smiled‚ taking a step closer to the doorway. “May I come in?” Can you come in?

It worked; Luc was entering the cave when he heard a soft whimpering coming from the corner. Luc bent down so not to appear immense and threatening. “Don’t cry puppy I have come back for you.” The puppy only weighted maybe 25lbs‚ but the shock of her jumping on him startled him and he fell back on his butt. She started licking his face and wagging her tail. Luc lifted her up and sat her down next to him‚ “Phase‚ we need to talk.” The pup phased to a girl and sat next to Luc‚ he noticed her clothes

Breathe. You have to breathe‚ Iris. You have to snap out of this‚ it’s not real. None of this is real. “Ms. Montez‚ you have to open your eyes‚ dear. You have to be coherent to continue with your session‚” the man said. I hate him‚ I hate this stupid man. He has no idea what he’s talking about. It’s all lies‚ what he’s telling me. Nothing is true. “Ms. Montez!” he shouts. My eyes shoot open‚ startled at the doctor’s harsh tone. My chest is rising and falling rapidly‚ my body trickling with perspiration

“HELP! HE-” I start yelling but get cut of when a hand goes over my mouth‚ “Be quiet will you!” My captor yelled sounding worried. Without thinking I stick my tongue out. “Gross” He yelled before letting go. I grinned in victory‚ before opening my mouth to start. “Try something like that again and you will regret it” His tone now harsh and scary‚ causing me to be quiet. His hands returned to my sides as he guided me forward. “Don’t touch me” I grumbled. “Is that up to you now?” He asked. I huffed

Doctor Pax bent and stroked the dog. ‘Here‚ put this collar around him. I removed it from the other dog.’ Clemmie fixed the collar in place but froze when she straightened the tag. She rubbed her thumb against the brass. Her dry skin caught on the engraved letters which stood proud of the smooth surface. A choked noise came from her throat as she felt her mind drift to somewhere just out of reach. ‘Can you remember something?’ Doctor Pax’s voice interrupted her thoughts and she shook her head to

“Something is not right‚” Trogon shouts‚ and then stands pacing the floor. “These writing have told us nothing” their eyes all watching him. “Why don’t the rest of you speak up? Lies‚ for instance‚ how would the ancient know the smell and mold of the tunnels‚ or a castle rose from the ground.

The dark rings under Issac’s eyes showed his fatigue as a man in with a checklist checked the damages that were done the previous night. It was strange to say the least‚ a door being knocked down and split in two‚ a window being blown out along with most of the wall‚ and it seemed like someone that ran a lawnmower in the garden. And that wasn’t even going into how the perfect design walls now had cracks. The older man sighed‚ as a group of men continued to examine the damages that were done. Though
