If you follow the link below or click on the Horror Stories link to the side and then click on Matt Cowan, you can read my short story "Midnight in 411".  I wrote this story to submit to an anthology that was interested in horror tales set in a hotel.  All of the stories were going to take place in the same hotel so you really couldn't describe too much outside of the room in order to maintain consistancy.  My story was not accepted but I still always liked it.  So I'm posting it here, with Jim's help of course (thanks Jim!).  Please feel free to leave comments on it below and thanks for reading it.

Saturday mornings meant two things when I was a kid: Cartoons, and a good size bowl of sugar cereal.  Nothing went better together than Peanut Butter Crunch and the Superfriends, except maybe Lucky Charms and Looney Tunes.  No, Peanut Butter Crunch trumps all.  And there were lots of good cartoons back then as well, seeing as how the big three networks each filled the morning with them.  So there I’d sit, surrounded by whatever toys held my interest that day, splitting my attention between that whopping 19” television and whatever fantasy world my toys were leading me in to.  But that was Saturday morning, and VHF.  Things changed with a thunk! around noon.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859.  He trained as a doctor, which he turned into a successful practice.  His teacher, Dr.

I've decided to go a different route as regards the forum software. Every day I've been deleting dozens of spam/inactive/not real "users" signing up to the site, and on occasion posts that don't belong there.  I want to make the switch now before we get any more real users, and I'd like to make the switch to something that allows for more than just a forum.  It will also be something that is hosted elsewhere so I don't have to keep updating software etc... That leaves more time to actually post something useful!

To the handful of real people who have signed up I apologize for changing things on you! I hope you'll make the move, and enjoy what is to come. I'll be posting soon with more details.Thanks,
Jim
