A Short Story.

[Airframes]

I've posted this here, rather than in the 'Stories' threads, as it is more relevant to this thread topic, compared to the more serious offerings elsewhere.
Provided in PDF format for ease of viewing, this rather odd short story was inspired, or perhaps 'influenced' would be a better choice of words, by a recent, rather strange, very fragmented but vivid dream. I seem to have experienced, during one of those strange moments of semi-wakefulness, sometimes experienced in the twilight moments between being fully asleep and fully awake.
Read at your leisure, and would-be 'pirates' be warned - this IS copyrighted, and any infringements WILL be acted upon.

Terry, you are a man of many talents. An excellent story my friend.

Very, very well written Terry. A story that ought to be true, if only...

 

[vikingBerserker]

Dang Terry, that was awesome, well done!

 

[Gnomey]

Excellent Terry!

Thanks very much chaps - glad you liked it.
Not the sort of stuff I'd usually write (done a full novel, and part of the sequel, plus other small items), but the dream was so vivid, even though very fragmented, that I felt I had to develop it somehow.
NOTE:- I've now corrected a few spelling and grammar errors.

Terry, can you make an epub format of the story? Then it's easier to read on the smartphone.

 

[Airframes]

Don't know how to do that Marcel.

 

[Crimea_River]

epub. Can I get a beer there?

 

[mikewint]

Nope epubs are on line only so it would be a virtual beer!

Don't know about epubs, but I know about a pub .........and I'm going there later !

In libre office you can save as epub. Don't know if you can do the same in MS office as I don't use that.

Epub is the open eBook format. Makes it easy to read on tablet, telephone or eReader.

 

[mikewint]

I'm going there later !

Don't seem to have that in MS Office, Marcel.

Really nice story, Terry, well done!

And Marcel, the file loaded fine on my ipad with no formatting issues.

Now, as for that epub, do they serve bacon perchance?

Yeah big screens are fine. It's just for my phone, but I can read this as well. Epub is just easier.
