Melody for a Miracle -
 - Marijo Phelps (2,734)     
Marijo Phelps  
My dust-covered legs ached. We had walked miles and miles with the throngs of others. Yet there was definitely more dust than people. Dust in our noses and mouths choking us as we traveled on.
She was in pain. Her right hand clutched to keep her upright. With her left hand, gripping her... ( added 65 days 17 hours ago.) |
Duncan Gurley's Smart Medicine -
Mark Parsec (15,071)   
Mark Parsec 
Although I had been diagnosed by an optometrist at a very early age with inverted vision I have often considered this more the result of my overactive imagination as a child than anything else. Yet, I must wonder. For by the time I had entered junior high school I was conversing frequently in... ( added 1 year 112 days ago.) |
Thank You Search Warp! -
- David Tanguay (9,593)  
David Tanguay
I have been a member of search warp for almost three years now. When I first began writing articles here on SearchWarp I was quite naive on my writing skills, my grammar was bad and I had a hard time to get my point across. Therefore, I bought a book on grammar and writing style; I am still off... ( added 1 year 138 days ago.) |

The Promise -
MJNewell (16) 
The early morning sunlight streaked across the worn braided rug and glanced off the man's nearly bald head. His pajama clad body slumped against the restraints crisscrossed around his chest-restraints holding him upright in the cold sterile wheelchair. A soft pillow under each elbow helped...

David Tanguay
This is a story of my ma; she was born on March 3, 1911. She came from a big family of Canadian French descent. Her father died a young man from an accident at the mill where he worked. She was only 3 years old at the time.
Older brothers and sisters and other family... ( added 2 years 72 days ago.) |
Reality T.V.? (A Woman's Dilemma 09/2006) -
Chris Cole (826) 
Now, I know I can win in the so-called game of life. I can defeat all of my demons and live a prosperous existence. I know this because Flavor Flav did it. When the chips were down, he came out on top. The odds were stacked against him; fifteen years in abyss with six kids and fourteen... ( added 3 years 45 days ago.) |
Where IS he? An Angelic View of a Baby's Birth -
- Marijo Phelps (2,734)
Marijo Phelps
Where IS he? I can't find him anywhere. He wasn't there during worship time this morning and he is not sitting beside his father. "Gabriel, Gabriel, where is he? What has happened to him?" I asked with impatience. And Gabriel reminded me of when he was sent to earth to bring a great revelation to... ( added 61 days 12 hours ago.) |
Our Childhood Changed With One Word, POLIO -
- Marijo Phelps (2,734)
Marijo Phelps
"Mommy.. Colette threw up all down Daddy's back and it is all over the rug," I was running as fast as my five year old legs could carry me into my parent's bedroom with the "yucky" news.
"Marion, can you call Dianne and tell her we aren't going to be going out tonight. We can't have her... ( added 62 days 16 hours ago.) |
Ten (Preference) Point Wife (Tribute to the Hunting Guide from the Huntress) -
- Marijo Phelps (2,734)
Marijo Phelps
Around our house, autumn is not spelled "f a l l," but "h u n t I n g." My husband hunts with a bow and arrow in September. My hunt for elk comes a bit later, during the rifle hunting time. I am pushing 60, and have been saving "preference points" for 10 years, waiting for that really BIG hunt!... ( added 69 days 11 hours ago.) |
Going Home - Christmas Break -
- Marijo Phelps (2,734)
Marijo Phelps
"All right, listen up. Right after Christmas break we are going to be studying how to give an injection. Read chapters 13-16 and be ready when you get back. See you at 7:30 AM on 2nd floor at County tomorrow," barked Miss Randall. Why did the 2nd year students like her so much. That little red... ( added 73 days 8 hours ago.) |
Jesus is a Faithful, Gentle Teacher -
- Marijo Phelps (2,734)
Marijo Phelps
For the three and a half years since I'd been saved I had been against speaking in tongues. If anyone even mentioned the subject, my toenails would curl, my claws would come out and the least I would do was abruptly change the subject. Then the Lord took me by the arm on a trip through...

Meeting Jesus "Face to Face" -
- Marijo Phelps (2,734)
Marijo Phelps
I had been a professing atheist for 9 years. Although we had been raised in the Methodist church no one ever spoke about a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. So, even in conservative Iowa State it was easy to be challenged and decide God didn't exist. I knew in my heart of hearts... ( added 74 days 16 hours ago.) |

The Flat, Buildable Lot.. -

Marijo Phelps
"Honey, why did we buy 20 tree tags to harvest our own trees. Please remind me," I was panting to catch my breath in the close to 9000 feet elevation. It was a blizzard. Pieces of snow were attacking our faces. I thought hail only came in summer but this sure felt like hail. "Here, grab that snow... ( added 79 days 6 hours ago.) |
Letter Late -

Marijo Phelps
" Hey Suzi, who do you know in the military?" asked Toni. "What do you mean?" Suzi hollered from upstairs. "You got a letter with a military return address on it, I'll bring it up to you." Replied Toni as she ran up the stairs with the mail in her hands. "John? Doesn't look familiar to me let me... ( added 80 days 16 hours ago.) |

David Tanguay
In June of 1967, I walked into a Marine Corps recruiting office. I told the recruiter I wanted to enlist in the Marine Corps.

The Amulet- part XII -

I
He looked down at the hideous gathering with utter disgust. The filthy, stinking, wretched group was engulfed in the sport of stuffing their pie holes with the writhing, bleeding animals gathered for their delight.
The great bird looked around, contemplating his direction of travel... ( added 101 days 11 hours ago.) |
The Amulet- part XI -
Ken McCreless (1,701)
Ken McCreless
He flew gracefully through the air, ignoring the rodents and fish that any other eagle would have taken home for dinner. But, those eagles would be in their element here. This one was not where he was supposed to be, not at all. This one was moving fast, and this one held an amulet in it's claw.... ( added 114 days 22 hours ago.) |
The Amulet- part X -

Ken McCreless
Purity and Paul stood holding each other as if standing at a bus stop in a pouring rain as the last bus rolled away into the darkness. What they were watching, though, was the murderer preparing for battle.
His undergarment was made from a silver material that, according to the murderer... ( added 120 days 1 hour ago.) |

Dear Reader,
Thank you for your continued interest in this story. It is certainly most appreciated.
But, I must give you a warning.
Now, you can take it to heart or not, but, I would strongly advise that you do. It is an intense and deeply disturbing tale, spun from actual events, and... ( added 137 days 23 hours ago.) |
The Warning (Conclusion) -
Michael Ramzy (633) 
Michael Ramzy
I can truthfully tell you the young man never went to another to have his music published. Of course, he did not believe his music was not good. If anything went through his head as he left the office that day it was that his music was good and was simply too different. Too passionate. If... ( added 142 days 6 hours ago.) |
The Warning (Part Two) -
Michael Ramzy (633)
Michael Ramzy
I know I should not start a story with a story, but it is important for you, who are reading these words, to know what I am leading up to.
As I sit here I think of all of the millions of people in this world and how they seem to live in a way that is, do I dare it? Common. Not really common... ( added 143 days 8 hours ago.) |

Michael Ramzy
I know I shouldn't be writing this. I know. But I must. I must.
I thought I could control it, but I cannot. I do hope I can finish this before . . . before it's too late. I'll try. Not because of some common foolish pride, but as a warning. I know you're out there, you who will read... ( added 145 days 9 hours ago.) |
The Amulet- part VIII -
Ken McCreless (1,701)
Ken McCreless
Purity was sitting under the majestic oak when she came to. Her arms lay at her side and her legs splayed a bit as if she were a rag doll thrown into a corner. She was clothed only in a cotton gown, as in her bedroom, but she had been moved. She did not recognize where she was. It was a beautiful... ( added 147 days 18 hours ago.) |
The Amulet- part VII -
- Ken McCreless (1,701)
Ken McCreless
" Death came for me once," said the murderer. This surprised Paul and Purity. How could an "eternal being," that could move about in another plane, draw living, breathing souls into a simple, but ornate piece of jewelry, be subject to the ravages of time, and pay a death as any creature does?
