Eccles' Stories

                               In the beginning all was peaceful in This Land.  Meanwhile, in the Other Land war had broken out.  This peaceful land was helping out with the war efforts by throwing billions of dollars at it.  In the evil Land of The Emperor, their Emperor was trying to take over the Other Land. The Emperor even went as far as to threaten any country who tried to help out the Other Land.                              The Land of The Emperor went as far as to show their power by sending a spy balloon over This Land, as well as That Land.  This did not work out for it was just shot down.  Nevertheless, This Land was threatened by Flish Flash a computer software program that put videos in every home. This Land tried to ban Flish Flash by saying it was a threat to the security of the people of this ...

                     Gather round as I spin you a tale.  The tale I tell is one of truth, and not of fiction. A few years back I was left to watch my parents' house, while they went to go visit my older  sister for a short spell.  Twas during this time that my dog (Rosa), and my parents Australian Shepard (Ebony) caused a great raucous in the back yard.                     I ran outside to see whatever was the matter.  What I saw with my ever-loving eyes was that the two dogs were throwing a puppy no bigger than a man's hand between the two of  them. I being an animal lover, stepped in taking the puppy away from the two of them.  I first of all cleaned it up, then got it a bowl of milk for the "little stranger" to drink.  For Ebony & Rosa  were both dry and would have surely killed it.              ...

                                 Thunder woke up one morning, and after his ritual morning grooming, put on a tie which had a picture of the United States flag on it.  He then joined the breakfast group with  "The eye of the tiger" look upon his face.  Maxine did not know what he was up to, but she  had seen that look in his eyes before.   She knew the look meant trouble so, she lovingly asked him, what was up?                 So, he ate a bite of his eggs, and took a sip of coffee, and said, "Oh, well, I'm getting  ready to write a bill in congress so that a president, in good health, can run as long as they like. That is of course until they are 99.   Of course, most die before that time anyway.               Maxine just about choked on her Orange Juice at that thought.  Af...

        As I recall back in my childhood, in the Land of Liberty Loop, my Grandparents lived in a brick, sandstone house. I lived in a red brick house with my parents next door to them.  In my grandparents backyard was a red barn, which I used to play in.  Next to that was a damn and a hill I use to go to.       Next to the damn there was a lake which had a path next to it.  On the side of the path was a shell  hill which my grandmother warned me not to play on due to snakes.  So, I took a path up the hill to  three pine trees (shaped like a house) and played house.  The scent on the hill was that of decaying  leaves.  The decaying leaves looked like great fun to jump and play in (to a child), but there again, Grandma warned us not to due to the snakes.  Yet when snakes did come around her house, she would  just scoop them up with her shovel and put them in a barrel where she would burn trash and b...
