Born in a time before computers I had to use my imagination to keep me away from chores. Now that I am older, that same imagination comes in very handy with my writing. And I have always had an interest in writing. Even since grade school. However, I never really gave it a lot of thought in my youth...That is until the very early spring of 2006. I had just finished reading a story that frustrated me and I wondered if I could make a book that I would like to read. So I sat down at my computer, and decided to put some thoughts to the screen. A few hours later, and after some pestering from my wife about what I could possibly be doing, I had the beginnings of chapter 1 of one of my first books. But I had a lot to learn. Since that time, I have put that one aside at around 50,000 words. Put aside, but not forgotten. All of a sudden I had so many stories rushing to get out, I had to get them down! I started my second work and completed it, topping out at about 96k words. You can grab it now, entitled -The Event- in paperback ,or in E-Book format. I've started on the sequel entitled -Pockets of Paradise- when the editing of other works gets too rough. I have many short stories up on Amazon for you to check out, complete, in a handy collection available for free. Or grab one of my other stories from the Future Jumper series available now, with the fifth in the series, just released, in e-book format, or grab the entire collection in paperback! If you like some of the free works, be sure to check out my latest story, Mirror Thief, available now in paperback or e-book on Amazon. You will never look at your own reflection in quite the same way again. Thank you for taking the time to check up on me. Should you be interested in more, please stop in at my blog.

Chapter 1

Jane was getting another one of those headaches.

She knew the sensation by heart. The pain built up behind her temples, and spread like a fire though the back of her skull. She could feel the unwanted sensation growing worse as Jane sunk back into her faded, green couch.

Pressing her palms to the sides of her head, she tried to counter the pressure that had built up. The intense burning feeling from inside her mind was not a terribly new feeling for her. Her MS was a constant struggle and continually frustrated her daily. The condition always left Jane guessing what would happen next.

One day her legs wouldn’t work right, another day her hands would just drop things. It was always a gamble if she could even get out of bed in the morning. It became so hard for her to maintain her own existence she didn’t even bother to care how she looked anymore. Just what I need. Some new symptom from MS to make my days even more interesting.

Jane waited for the pressure to pass, and with time, it began to submit in small degrees. Her hands fell back to her sides as Jane opened her eyes. Everything seemed blurry, Ohh I hope it isn’t my vision going again.

Her mood soured as Jane wondered what new punishment her immune system was trying to inflict on her. Great! I wonder what new fun I get to experience this time. Jane spoke aloud to her empty apartment.

Of course, no one ever answered. She lived alone. Her few friends would call her occasionally to see how she was doing, but the worse her condition got, the less she would get calls from them. She lived in a bubble of solitude, and no one in her family saw fit to see what was inside it.

It took a toll on her attitude towards life. She constantly attempted to keep a stiff upper lip as her doctor told her. However, the last time he had told her that she almost gave him a stiff upper lip. He was lucky her arms were so weak she could barely drive.

On top of her physical problems, she had her drivers' license to worry about too.
