Roswell Fanatics

Duct tape is a rather amazing invention. It has been used for repairing a lunar rover fender , for merging CO2 absorbers from the LEM and the Command module to help a crippled Apollo XIII get back to Earth, people have made tuxedos out of it...people even occasionally use it to tape heating and air...

Alex was very likely the premier computer geek in Chaves county – possibly in the whole state – and he was sort of in shock and awe of the fact that he was in the presence of an actual artificial intelligence (AI), literally a sentient computer. This was a sentinel event in computer science – as Ale...

"Well gentlemen, it's time for Abernathy and me to be getting on the road. We'll try to not keep you gentlemen too long...," said Williams, unable to restrain himself from tormenting Pemberton one last time. "You'll never get away with it," said Pemberton. "Of course we will...

As Williams and McCarthy returned Jim Valenti, Deputy Pemberton, and Jeff Parker watched them press Max's trigger finger against the trigger - the safety keeping the gun from firing - and his left hand on the forestock of the Sheriff's Department-owned riot gun from the stolen patrol car.

A will to survive and some sort of a survival instinct is probably a necessity of any kind of life - human or otherwise. As consciousness returned it returned in erratic chunks as the brain - at last starting to process information again - fought to bring back the sort of memories that would make th...

He peered out it wat...

Fatigue is a progressive process – but certainly not a linear one. After a certain period of wakefulness most people start to feel fatigued. Over the next ten to twelve hours, the fatigue becomes intense. But then it may relent for five or six hours – replaced instead by what psychologists call inap...

Max Evans wasn't exactly normal today. Normally Max Evans was a very bright young man. Normally he was probably in the top 3 or 4 % - intellectually - of any room he was in, excepting perhaps one drunken night some weeks ago when he and the somewhat intoxicated young lady with him had sort of been o...

McCarthy shook his head in disgust as he walked away from Williams and opened the door to the pantry. He'd found what passed for the ranch wine cellar. Well, not wine really. Even ex-Marines weren't much in to wine. They preferred a cold beer for recreational drinking on a warm afternoon and a nice ...

Fortunately for him, it went pretty much as Williams had planned it. He was extremely fortunate in that regard he realized, because it hadn't been much of a plan at all - just some quick improvisation with the materials he found at hand. 'Sometimes,' thought Williams, '...it's better to be lucky tha...
