The Shepherd – Lamb to the Slaughter (Chapters 8 & 9)
Chapter 8 ‘Paul. Sit down. Please.’ ‘What happened Alec? What the hell happened?’ Paul Foster stopped his angry pacing and turned to face the other man standing there in the office. ‘I don’t know. I wish I did, Paul. Here,’ Alec Freeman handed a glass to the young man who perched himself reluctantly on the corner seat, ‘you need this.’ Foster looked up, eyes drawn and bewildered. ‘Not Ed. It…
The Shepherd – Lamb to the Slaughter (Chapters 6 & 7)
Chapter 6 The unfamiliar noise outside was enough to waken him, and for one moment, as he crossed the barrier between sleep and wakefulness he had a tantalizing snatch of memory, too vague, too transitory to do more than make him gasp with unrecalled and unremembered fear.

He knew he had a few moments before chaos flurried back into life once more. But it was these few moments, where all was still, that gave the man the moment of calm he needed. In a couple of moments, Virgil…
Aquaboi’s Paper Models
Hi, I’m Jim and I founded infinite diversity in 1989 when a friend of mine asked if I could throw a couple of lamps in his Klingon d-7 Star Trek model and make it hang from his ceiling. I went down to the hobby store and radio shack and got some red and green mini LEDs, and made a pretty decent looking black fleet warship for him. Just a few…
