A decision has to be made but is it the end or a new beginning Something that a few of you have asked me to write Hope you like

A chance meeting between Goniff and an old acquaintance lead to serious consequences for Garrison and Chief and trouble for the rest of the team.

What if after the war someone decided to collect soldiers stories and put them together in a book? What would Garrison say? What could he say about the men he had led, without getting them into more trouble?

This was to be part of a larger story but I don't know when I will get to it so here is a snippet.

Just because you've read a man's file does not mean you know the man.

Two missions turn out to be one and the same when Chief is shot and wounded.

Another year has gone by. Sometimes thoughts need putting into words

What might have been

Everyone has gone their separate ways. It's going to be a quiet Christmas at the Mansion. Or is it?

Their mission was complete but that was not the end of it.

Another mission goes awry. What happens when a fevered mind lives its worst nightmares?

It seemed like every cell in his mouth and throat was being torn open, it was like swallowing a handful of razor blades. He ignored the pain and lapped the rest of the water off his hands with a swollen tongue. He kept his head down, licking greedily at the rivulets of water the dripped off his hair and scalp.

Spooky days are here again For Storm

Sometimes the challenges come from other than the enemy.

Sometime ago Arnie wrote a birthday story called Trials of a Hurt Comfort Fan. It started out all serious …. and good. It ended up funny and enjoyable but I could not forget the serious part so with her permission I have added to it. Thanks Arnie, for the starting point and the permission. Sometimes things happen that Garrison and Chief cannot just let go.

A four hour drive, the second half which is boring, resulted in this

Splinters: sometimes painful, sometimes just little bits of a whole.

This is a response to a reviewer who asked about the reference to Chief sleep walking in 'All That's Left'. Slight change in destination but here it is. As for what happened in Scotland, I cannot write about a place I have never been, want to go there but ...

The Challenge was to explain how Chief learned to play chess. Here is my take.

This story follows Another Mission and The Challenge but can be read alone. The team has been decimated or has it?

This is the my take on that missing scene from the episode Frame Up.

Too many injuries. Too much worrying. What now?

Sometimes a challenge comes when you least expect it or from whom

as someone said long ago, sometimes missing a team member can have a big impact.
