Takers of the Lost Arc, Part Iv
...Some would long debate the whole raid, say the arc was now truly lost, others would say a museum piece was never worth such a high cost. I suppose those questions will rage, on the net it gets rather loud, but Alice pays no heed to it, I hear she’s a minister now…...

Takers of the Lost Arc, Part Iii
...He saw his prize slipping away, his future he now found in doubt, had to make sure whoever came would perish, and never walk out. He had a compound in Puntland, where arc and hostages were kept, on guard were always sixty men, on rotation, when others slept. He brought them close, to the big room, where the arc waited for its price, for weeks...

Takers of the Lost Arc, Part Ii
...Then working with the government, who always liked more western cash, they set up an agreement that they hoped could contain this backlash. Two scientists could see the arc, and work to verify its age, one from Harvard, and one Cambridge, and to Axum both made their way. The American, an old man, Professor Hammond was name, the Brit was a young grad student, named Alice,...

Takers of the Lost Arc, Part I
It started off the strangest thing, like some tale out of Hollywood, the famed ‘Arc of the Covenant,’ with stone tablets, cherubs, and wood. Believed long lost to history, destroyed by Babylonians, the box that housed the commandments, back when Israel was begun. No one seriously thought that it was still in existence today, archaeology laughed at that, wouldn’t hear what folks had to say. Dismissed them...

Premium Member Care Givers and Takers
It is 2 pm on a hot and humid Sunday in June. I am cleaning walls and floors, cabinets and doors, and laying newly steamed rugs in a new place of one floor living more suitably down-sized from three floor struggling for my disabled son and aging me. My husband for the past twenty four years calls with Happy Father's Day! This, like an anniversary ritual, surprising reminder between us two Dads not...

Givers and Takers
Givers and Takers For when I am a leaf upon the ground, As I often am. You will find me in a state of change. From the juicy reds and yellows To a blending shade of brown, to tan, to nothing. I will be soggy, soft, limp. Or a reactive crinkle under your feet Depending on...

Premium Member The Takers Change Christmas
There are takers, and they can ruin the season. Teaching their children to get on all the Christmas lists. Yelling at the do-gooders who bring toys but no receipts. Showing the do-gooders children what appreciation does not look like. Their children are embarrassed, realizing their mother’s behavior is unkind. Recognizing a bully when they see one. “Don’t bring us anything else...

Misplaced Loyalty
I've invested too much time Into people I thought were genuine It's baffling How many people you know You think have your back But actually don't When you need me there I show up When I need you It's you know I would but I've come to learn I ain't the only thing desyroying me The other part of...

This expert excursion... sweet sweet soliloquy? Checking every bucket box, chiming like strife to be? Frank Zappa may have had his platter eaten- Joseph Gobbles his Dotton feelie' wheels, but made the park his whole weighted keel? When you wouldn't leave the stuffy car to pray for a deal? How can the forcery stars not end up real?...

Premium Member Unrequited Love
Poppyseed Princess with poppyseed lips, Fragrant yellow piston, and beautiful hips. In the wind, savoring her relationships, Never knowing of my dream for her companionship. I am a simply ugly marigold, gnarly and quite plain. Recognizing beautiful, but my tongue I dare refrain. If she knew of my love, would she turn away in rain? I dare...

Premium Member Takers Taken
The night takers come when the sun goes down When there's no one around to hear the quiet loud They are the shadowed clouds feared by the proud Seeping in through ears with maddening clapping sound Insane clowns with razor sharp teeth poking around The mind pounds until it's fully unwound Once it's lost it can never be found The brain...
