Eccles' Stories

A Love Story To my beloved Katherine wherever you may be.             In the beginning I viewed her from across the room at the Christian Student Senter, with her  dishwater blond hair flowing.  I recognized her but did not think much of it at the moment.  Afterall,  she was no more at that moment than just another girl who blended in with the other Christian girls.   Afterall it was just a mix and mingles event anyway.             The next morning at breakfast I was to see her in a skirt and blouse getting her breakfast at the  Emporia State University cafeteria.  She was with her group of young women, and I said, "excuse me, but you have a familiar looking face would you like to have breakfast together?"                            Her name was Katherine and she quickly asked her group of female friends and then said, "Yes,  I think I shall."             Later I found out Katherine was an Early Childhood/Education major (AT ESU if you had  Education as a major you

  Pretty In Pink The following is my memories of my mother's death. May my mother rest in peace she died due to complications due to chemo. may she always be pretty in pink.  now for the story.             As I recall it was towards the end of March when I received a call letting me know that my  mother was in hospice.  I was told that if I wanted to see her again to pack and come home now.  I had  later found that arrangements had been made between my sister, Regaina, and the church for me to fly  home to Virginia.  I was to see what was left of my mother.  On the flight home I was shook up not  knowing what to expect, or who would be there.  I didn't even know if  my mother would still be alive. My sister met me preparing me for the nightmare about to take place.           She took me to my parents' house where I met my father with a hug.  I was then taken into my  parents' room where I was to see my mother laid out in a hospital gown, lying on a rented hospital bed.

  Adam & Star           Once upon a time in a land far away, in a land called Chirobur, there lived a wizard named, Adam Kerplunchkin.  Adam was a very kind wizard who never meant any harm to anyone. Adam was a rather elderly wizard who came to the Apperson Club to do his laundry and read,   This he did as a  habitual thing weekly.               As he was there upon that certain week a magical dwarf came into the club house, by the name  of Star Brite.  Star was doing her laundry about the same time as the wizard did that week.  Adam  hadn't eaten all day. and so he went and got some snack food out of the club house's kitchen.  As he  did that Star did her laundry, and then sat in a corner by a club house stump and started crying.  The  reason for her tears is that the evil wizard Minici had turned her husband and children into cherry pies and made her eat them.                Adam was changing his laundry from the washer to the dryer when he noticed her crying.  So he came

Dark Days          When the children of today ask for   a story all I can do is give them one of woe and pain.  For  things today are different than they were yesterday when all was good and happy.   For today many are deceived, and go looking for a lie.  The truth that man can do nothing to stop the destruction of the  world, but only God himself can stop it.           Many people laughed at that idea for they did not believe in God.  There are others who in the name of science claim to be God, or sons of God.  This included the heads of state, as well as the one  man who had taken over the world, living in Rome, King Rump.              At least he had brought a type of peace to the world.  Though one still heard of terroristic  activities.  Some of these reports turned out only to be rumors and others were not,  There were  earthquakes all over the world.   In fact what used to be Florida was now a island named Sodom.   California had sunk to the bottom of the ocean and was rumored t

The Time Traveler            Tom Peeker was a little down the morning after he had made a deal with Time Travel Magazine .   He had made a deal most people would be tickled pink with.  Tom was unhappy, since all his life he  had been writing stories, and now the deal of his life had fallen in his lap at the age of forty.  His  mother did not help matters any by telling him writers were just lazy people.  This of course upset Tom  greatly, for it was something he was great at.               Tom realized, however, that there were formulas to writing.  Formulas such as descriptions of  things like towns is a simple rule in writing; but, don't over do it.  When writing about time travel know  the past, the present, and then unroll the future.                 It is also a fact that in time travel not to move or kill things in the past.  As Dr. Thomson in school said, "Anytime one environmental change is moved, you risk damaging the whole environment" Whatever happens when one

  Danial Quint                      U.N.O. Chemicals was a small company which took animals, and used them to test things  on, for people to use.   Soon, however, the Animal Constitutional Lawyers Association (ACLA) had  suited them for a total of $20,000,000 for abuse to animals.  This caused U.N.O. Chemicals to shut  down, and give their animals away to their employees, or other people.                      Danial Quint took a black pug home named Wok.   He was also given a headhunter to find  him a job.   This made him depressed so he turned to his wife Stella and said, "What will I do?"                        Stella Quint did what any wife would do and consoled him.   Then she yelled at him, and  then more consoling.                        One of Danial's major employment problems was that he was fifty-five?  Who would  want to hire a fifty-five year old?  As he was looking for a job he got sent to apply at Pink  Pharmaceuticals.  Their motto was "think pink.&quo

This Mess               In the beginning all things are as they are in the end.  Our story takes place outside  of a small town named Nowata.  The story begins in a huge white house, in a huge two-story  house which is separated by a large patio.  On one side of the patio is the bedrooms, and on the  other side is the kitchen, dining room, and living room.   On the outside of the house was a pasture  with cows in it. Inside of the house, however, lived three souls with warm hearts, they were: Grandpa  Mann, Granny Mann, and Alex Mann.                Alex Mann was the grandson of the Mann's who lived there to take care of his grandparents.   He did his best to keep their house clean even though it was an endless chore.  Through all that  happened the three of them walked with God.  Alex had the attributes of a saint and loved both humans  and animals alike.                 One day shortly after breakfast, a big, fat man by the name of Stan Kooheeney came over to  the house.  He cons

 Write  To Death                      Once upon a time there was a man by the name of Michael Future.  Michael was a writer  of  fictitious stories, who lived high above the earth in the sky.  (Many in fact said his head was in the  clouds.)  The problem with Michael's writing's is that he wrote things that would soon come true.  For  this the government kept an eye on him.                        Michael Future felt that people were just being silly.  Though he did know that he did have the ability to write something and then it would come true, but what was he to do about it?  He wrote  down the death of President Kelcy and it happened just as he said.   So, Michael was arrested, and  charges were brought up against him.                        Police Officer Komandoff, came to the house of Michael Future, and arrested him.  Officer  Komandoff said, "Michael Future, you are under arrest for your writings'.  You have been writing  books that become truth.   You even wro
