Groans From Timbuctoo: 1. Like A Big Pizza Pie

If I felt uncomfortable before, once we passed the midway point... "Let me put it this way," I said to van Els, "If you look up the word uncomfortable in the dictionary, you'll see my picture next to it."

"I'm sure it would be a lovely picture," one of the doctors told me. It might have been a nice compliment if he hadn't had his hand inside me as he said it.

This is the initial part to set up the story, tell me if you like the style and I'll continue - there's no gender stuff in this part but it will become evident in the next few chapters
Enjoy

I sat there a little frustrated by the lack of movement.

On Yasm, a bywater of the Korkari empire, life is hard for Rin. It's about to get much harder, and this galaxy's story is about to change, as fate takes a hand in the games of the Gods and an ancient artifact is rediscovered.

Hi I have decided to be brave and so I give you the first(ish) draft of my new (1st)novel - Legacy of the Anari (working title). This is the first chapter of many, which i intend to post on a regular basis, (subject to the whims of my muse or major rewrites). So far I have around 160k words.
I hope you enjoy the first few thousand.

Whether you love it or hate it...Please let me know.

Oh yeah: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents either are products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

So without further ado, I give you the start of Rin Turvik's tale.

Best Friend, Boyfriend

Best Friend, Boyfriend

By Paul Calhoun

Dear readers: This one just felt right. I'd been kicking around the idea of a man so determined and so in love with his girlfriend that he'd pretend to be a girl to get close to her and find out what she likes and wants. This is Maurice. He knows its ethically questionable, but he loves Shannon so much that he wants to get everything right so perfectly that Shannon is never disappointed or wishing for anything more.
This takes place in the same continuity as the UA, but as you will see later on, but be at least twenty years later. My guess is the 2060s. This also takes place at the very end of the story. It seemed the best place to start.

Last time: “Stop teasing him Lor; you’re as big a geek as he is, if not more,” she smiled and hugged Lorna, “I’ve seen your statue collection.” Roger looked like the existence of god had been revealed to him. “So cool,” he breathed, “another collector on base! Can I see your collection Ms. Dane? I have some stuff here too and DVDs and…” Lorna joined in the conversation. “Yes and you can show me the shops, cause I’m about 8 weeks behind on my books and…” the two began talking back and forth so quickly, often finishing each other’s sentences. Lucy just perched herself in a chair and watched. ‘I fell in love with a geekette’ she thought, ‘and I guess I wouldn’t change a thing.’
