“Small bugs sound different from daddy-long-legs.”  Kenny was trying to explain to Lester, “little spiders sound kinda squeaky, while big daddys sound like they have a reverb system.” “They are not really like War of the Worlds, but they reverberate , all the same.” Lester wondered, at this point, what made anyone think he ever thought about any of this. “I think about sun and rain and dinner and lots of stuff, but not really…

“Did you blow a fuse,” Kenny asked me. “I don’t think so.”  I leaned over and turned a table lamp on and off with no effect.  “I thought we had until the fifteenth,” I said. “What is today?” Kenny asked in his own way of being slightly obtuse. “This is the seventeenth,”  I answered, as I looked at the calendar.  One of us felt a little embarrassed, and I could tell by Kenny’s smug look…

I have written some non-fiction books and now I am trying my hand at some fiction. As a NF writer, I think the fiction writer has it made.  As a fiction writer, I feel that the NF writer’s job is a piece of cake.  As a new fiction writer I am making my story free for five days.  Then it’s only going to be $0.99 I’m hoping for the best.

But you also will not lose your directions and start to wander, unless you are one of the unfortunate brings from Delta Sector who can’t perceive the color blue.…

The Morning Hatcher Fell

Published by Don on May 21, 2018

“Mark  Hatcher, a very medium, very unremarkable guy, a self-described loser, is dreaming of landing a new job, but still driving a sub-galactic space transporter, when one of his two engines goes out.  As he is trying to call for help, his radio goes out too – he is only a couple of galaxies away from earth, but it might as well be a hundred light years.” –The Morning Hatcher Fell Don Martin Coming Soon!…
