Gary Hancock

I attended several Colleges and Universities in Mississippi and Louisiana. Many of them were glad when I enrolled and many were glad when I left. Being a child of the '60s movement at these higher learning educational institutions, I reaped many of the social rewards of that era. I survived and move into the work place. The first ten years flew by as I drew aerial maps and the last twenty eight as I built automobiles. But nothing compared to being retired. My primary goals in life were to sit at the local corner breakfast/country store/wifi center and read the local paper as I sipped the brew of the coffee bean. I have set the bar in life at the height I have attained. Nothing like succeeding to make one feel accomplished.If you like what you read, make me one of your favorite authors so I can see what part of the world you are from. Thank you.

Salem 1692

John Moore, you and your wife Mary Elizabeth have lawfully been tried and convicted of the practice of the most foul witchcraft. The sentence for this abomination can only be death. There will be no mercy on you and the sentence will be carried out at noon Tuesday the 19th of August, this year of our Lord 1692. Because a newborn child is innocent, your wife’s sentence will be delayed till the time of the birth.

The Salem Witch Trials ended before Mary Elizabeth’s son was born and she was spared. She named the boy after his father. As she held the small infant in her arms, she whispered, Your father was not a Wizard but I am, as you shall be also.

Washington October 1901

Newly appointed president Theodore Roosevelt had all his advisers gathered in office. The size of the group took up all the space and more. They were actually standing in the doorways listening to Teddy. We are going to have to built a bigger White House if our country keep growing. He joked. But down to more serious business. We can’t have the government of the U.S. States being changed by an assassin’s bullet. I am asking the Army’s Military Intelligence Division to come up with solutions to finding and stopping these heinous assassins. General Creighton I know we don’t see eye to eye on many subjects, but I am sure you will put your maximum effort into this task like you always do.

Jane yelled Creighton as he entered the front door, Where is that book my grandfather left me. I need to look someone up.

President Roosevelt swiveled his wheelchair around to the front of his desk. What I like about this office is the amount of room. You could hold a dance in here. Lots of space so I don’t run into the furniture. It was a meeting of the heads of his intelligent groups. The Navy, Army, FBI, and the new kid on the block, OSS. The President had a stack of papers on the desk that he rested his hand on top. Some of these reports are so detailed that it looks like someone used magic. There was laughter throughout the room. In the next room a tall serious redhead wore a sharp fitted suit that looked like it had come from one of Italy’s finest tailors. We are at war with
