Working at a Christmas Party by RathTraveller

Chapter 3 in Let's start at the very beginning...

It never ceased to amaze at what people thought should go into a theme party. Steve Irwin, Gladiator, Jungle Pygmies and Cannibals, or in this case, the Wild West. Well, the American Wild West as opposed to Perth, which was just feral. It also never ceased to amaze him as t...

XiaoMing and TaiShen... kissing by RathTraveller

Chapter 4 in Let's start at the very beginning...

They were lying in the grass on the other side of the bamboo, their hats cast onto the ground near the shrine and their clothes on the ground beneath them. Their skin was sun darkened, but glistened with sweat in the sunlight as the two youths kissed, TaiShen cupping XiaoMing's f...

An overexcited puppy by RathTraveller

Chapter 4 in Let's start at the very beginning...

The little golden dog descended upon him in a series of barks and yaps, tail wagging happily. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, stay away puppy!" Jason said, hurriedly stepping forward to ward off the curious creature. "Don't trample the small Christmas bushes..." As he reached down...

Yes, that behaviour is not normal by RathTraveller

Chapter 5 in Let's start at the very beginning...

Frowning, Jason put down his trowel and picked his way carefully out of the garden beds towards the young man, taking care not to step on any of the plants he'd been tending to. "Sorry, I don't mean to, look I'm just sketching and I nearly had you finished? Are you done? Would...

His cousin Lance by RathTraveller

Chapter 4 in Let's start at the very beginning...

"Hey, aren't you done yet?" The voice made him jump, thankfully missing the barbed wire he'd so recently strung up. "Geez, Lance, don't do that," Jason said. "I nearly snagged myself." "Sorry," Lance said, his grin an apologetic flash of white teeth from under the shade of...

Actually, he's still rather full... by RathTraveller

Chapter 5 in Let's start at the very beginning...

Jason held up his hands, fingers stained a purplish blue from the blueberries he'd been snacking on all day. "I'm still rather full, actually, Uncle Tom," he said somewhat sheepishly. "Ha!" Uncle Tom let out a short bark of laughter. "I hope you have enough space so that your...

A really fresh strawberry. by RathTraveller

Chapter 4 in Let's start at the very beginning...

...a strawberry should taste like. Grinning, Jason tossed the stalk aside and ate two more before licking the juices from his fingers and wiping his chin. Smiling happily, he finished his chores around the garden, returning his tools to the shed and coiling the hose up neatly bef...

Yes they do - just. by RathTraveller

Chapter 6 in Let's start at the very beginning...

The welcome smell of food made Jason's stomach cramp slightly as he and Uncle Tom rode up to the farmhouse and turned aside to put their horses into the stables. Washing their hands quickly in the outdoor sink they headed inside. "Just in time," Aunt Gemima said severely, the g...

His brother's startled face. by RathTraveller

Chapter 6 in Let's start at the very beginning...

"Wow." The slack jawed look of shock was not one Jason had seen often on his handsome brother's face. For a moment he took in how Adam looked, scruffed up in his theatre black t-shirt and dark jeans, his equally dark hair somewhat mussed. He took in the dilated eyes, the curve of...
