The wild southwest was fraught with difficulties. Disease, heat, Indians, drought, why it took a determined, tough man to hold onto his family and his ranch. And did not happen, all too often. In that transition period of 1876, some of the Native Americans took to the reservations, while many did not. Some put up one hell of a fight. When a Comanche raid stole Brody's sister, he vowed to his dying mother, he would find her. But we know that life will happen when we make plans. Let's go see if he can fulfill that promise... #TheStoryteller

In the days of the western frontier, where mining companies put up towns, paid workers a pittance and hired their own security, they often hired a Marshal.

Verona Romero is an established archaeologist with a second doctorate in anthropology and Ethiopia calls to her to prove her worth beyond the constant search for treasure. 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 ...

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 ...

The Druids ruled in government, religion, and other positions of power until the Romans showed up in what was called Briton. With cruel intent, the Romans spread vicious rumors about sacrifice and butchery until the Druids were a diminished clan in hiding. The Romans thought they ended that reign, pulled out in the fifth century, and maybe so, but they opened the door to evolution. There were, at that time, hardly noticed, hundreds of Sorcerers playing low key and pulling strings from the shadows. If the two should meet... Fodder for #The Storyteller, of course. Enjoy.

I can shoot, all right. I 'borrowed' Paw's Walkers and entered the contest. I won it all. I also caught the eye of the US Marshals. Well, it was a hell of a lot better offer than the failing ranch.

The setting, up in the far northwest of North America, British Columbia to be exact, was beautiful, tranquil and a home site seemingly designed for the new settlers. It had the lake, the mountains, the granite peaks, and all. Privacy, isolation, and friends in the local Indian village. They named it Mirror Lake, for it simply stole one's breath away trying to take it all in. But then, it had something else that was not easily seen. Animals and people could not get near the water. Near it, or on it, no one survived. But only crazy people swim in the great frozen lakes of BC. Too cold, always...
