 EARTHGIRLS

A Lyric & Lead Sheet Songbook

This volume presents some of my original songs that feature women's names, some of which were inspired by various girls and women I've known over the years.

Erotica

EROTICA

Although I rarely talk about my erotic projects, I felt I had to include them because, quite frankly, they are part of my total body of work, and they were something I enjoyed writing at the time.

That was the late 1990s and early 2000s, a time of much spiritual, psychological, physical, and emotional upheaval in my life that began with the death of a close friend and workmate, and then my mother, and then hearing that my father had cancer—all within the space of about two weeks.

It was also a time of depression and despair in other aspects of my personal life.

Consequently, as I'd often done as a teenager (and other times while growing up), and because of my disillusionment with Christianity during those years, I retreated into sexual fantasies to escape the perceived cruelties of real life.

I originally shared many of these stories on the Literotica website under the pseudonyms HotScribe and HotScribe2, as well as on the Usenet newsgroup alt.sex.stories.moderated where some of them received favorable reviews. I also later modified several of them to use in a few of my other fiction and autobiographical works.

As someone once noted, there is a fine line between pornography and erotica, and although I endeavored not to cross it, I occasionally wrote stories in which  I literally leapt over that boundary, much to my current embarrassment.

An Erotic Horror Comic Book Script

PAGE 1

Panel 1

TEXT: "The police called it the work of a serial killer, even named the murderer The Shredder because of the way the body looked—its skin sliced and cut in strips apparently by some sharp instrument. But Maureen Douglas knew better. It looked like the work of an animal because it was the work of an animal. And its instruments were claws and fangs."

Panel 2

ART: Maureen Douglas kneels down and examines the mutilated, naked body of a woman, but now its face and torso have been ripped and torn as if by some savage animal.

Panel 3

TEXT: "With gloved hands, Maureen spread the corpse's legs, checked around and inside its vulva. There were telltale signs of semen. Maureen sighed heavily and rose to her feet. This was the fourth body found in this condition in the last three months."

Panel 4

TEXT: "That this was the work of a werewolf, Maureen didn't doubt. That it was also the work of Weylin Stone, she knew for certain."

ART: Maureen's stern face looks distant, as if remembering something

Panel 5

TEXT: "The condition in which the bodies had been found told her that. They'd all had sex with Stone before he Changed and savagely slaughtered them."

ART: [Artist's discretion]

Panel 6

TEXT: "Pleasure and pain. That was Stone's modus operandi."

ART: [Artist's discretion]

Panel 7

TEXT: "It had been that way even before he became—what he was now."

ART: Maureen remembers Stone as a werewolf

PAGE 2

Panel 8

TEXT: They'd been in love three years ago and they recognized a need for each other. Maureen liked to receive pain, Stone more than gladly gave it.

Not excessive pain, mind you. Just enough to make ordinary sex a little more interesting.

ART: [Artist's discretion]

Panel 9

ART: [Artist's discretion]

Panel 10

ART: Maureen is dressed as a provocative schoolgirl, facing right

Panel 11

ART: Maureen and Stone make love (Maureen riding Stone?)

Panel 12

ART: Maureen is dressed as a dominatrix, facing left

Panel 13

ART: Maureen on a cell phone

TEXT: But the murders—No, that wasn't right.

DIALOGUE: Maureen - "Yes, I'd like to report a murder..."

Panel 14

TEXT: Maureen had always found the bodies first. That hadn't been hard to do. She knew what Stone looked for in a woman, knew the places he liked to pick them up, and the places where he always took them. Yet he always managed to stay one step ahead of her. Until tonight. This new body was a fresh kill, which meant Stone would still be somewhere in the area. She searched the ground for prints and heard, in the distance, the wail of police sirens

 
PAGE 3

Panel 15

TEXT: She glanced up and around at the deserted warehouses that surrounded her. This was where Stone liked to bring the girls, this was where the bodies had been found—but never in a pattern that allowed the police to form some sort of prediction as to when or where he would strike again.

Panel 16

TEXT: Maureen never really understood how the Change had touched Stone. And it was after he Changed that they broke apart. He told her he never wanted to see her again.

ART: From the shadows of a warehouse, we see the wan features of Stone's face, pasty gray in the moonlight, his mouth stained with the blood of his last victim.

DIALOGUE: "Hello, Maureen,"

Panel 17

ART: Maureen and Stone facing each other

DIALOGUE: Maureen - "It's been a long time. I—had to see you again."

DIALOGUE: Stone - "Too long...Take your clothes off."

Panels 18 & 19

TEXT: Then the Change came.

ART: Naked, Maureen morphs into a female werewolf lashing out at Stone

Panel 19

TEXT: Too late to stop it now. Talons slashing downwards, razor-sharp nails slicing flesh, shredding it, fangs digging into muscle and bone, chomping, ripping, tearing, screams of shock segueing to screeches of agony.

Panel 20

TEXT: Then, silence. Wolf reverting to human. Claws to long-nailed female fingers.

ART: Stone's mangled body lies on the street

Panel 21

ART: Maureen walks down the street away from us

DIALOGUE: Maureen - "Bastard! This is MY hunting territory..."

The Road to Mandalay

 THE ROAD TO MANDALAY

A World War II Memoir by Frank Woodhead
Edited by Michael Woodhead

    From the villages of Lancashire and East Yorkshire to the jungles of India and Burma, Frank Woodhead relates an assortment of anecdotes, memories, personal thoughts, and observations during his time as a firefighter before World War II, and his six year stint as a medical orderly with the 99th Royal Buckinghamshire Yeomanry Field Regiment.

    Oftentimes poignant, humorous, and candid, Frank reveals much of what went on 'behind the scenes' on the fields of battle, and how serendipity frequently helped him get through some of the worst times of the war.

Treatment for a Horror Screenplay

A closed eye opens. It blinks several times, and then looks to the left.

Mirabelle Fraser is running along a rainbow-hued, interminable pathway. About her float dense clouds of blue mist. Puffing and gasping, she runs along the ramp, not knowing where she is going, or how she got there.

On her face is a look of terror.

The clouds suddenly billow about her waist and she feels a cold hand grab her ankle. Screaming, she is pulled beneath the vaporous murkiness.

She feels her clothes being ripped and torn, and she screams.

The eye peers directly ahead, and then looks upwards.

A keen guillotine blade scintillates in the sun.

Below, a black-masked executioner holds the rope of the release-catch. He peers through the mists about him and sees a young woman being dragged towards him. He smiles in grim satisfaction.

The woman is dragged up the steps of the deadly machine and is placed face upwards upon the block.

Mirabelle Fraser looks up terrifyingly at the poised blade.

The executioner watches her as he jerks the rope.

The blade is released and swishes down. Closer and closer it comes to her and, at the last moment, she turns her head, as if trying to avoid the blade. A scream gurgles to nothing, blood spurts forth from the severed body.

A tearful eye peers forward, and then looks to the right.

Somewhere within dark mists, a coffin opens. A young man climbs out and disappears into the vagueness.

A terror-stricken Mirabelle runs through the mist. Her clothes are ripped, her face bruised.

A hand suddenly reaches out from the mist and grasps her shoulder. She turns to see a handsome man approach her. Feeling relatively secure, she allows him to embrace her.

Behind her back, his mouth opens. Sharp, pointed teeth pierce her neck.

The woman screams once and faints; then, she is picked up by the man and carried into the fog.

The mists flow over them and they are lost.

Mirabelle, clothed in a long flowing robe lies outstretched upon a block of stone. Her arms and legs are bound by ropes.

She looks about and notices three other women hanging nearby. On their clothing, large bloodstains are smeared across their breasts. Their eyes stare unseeing into her.

A noise nearby causes her to look elsewhere. She observes a mallet and stake poised in mid-air. She now understands and begins to scream. However, her screaming does not stop her inevitable destiny. For, her teeth are now pointed and, being a vampire, she must die.

The stake is held over her heart and the mallet thrusts downwards. There is another scream of pain as the peg plunges into Mirabelle's body.

Blood spurts forth in gushes and stains her white gown.

The eye peers ahead as a tear begins to fall.

The eye belongs to Mirabelle Fraser whose head lies in the basket below the guillotine.

The tear rolls down her cheek and drops into the mass of gore at her neck.

Dungeon of Doom

Dungeon of Doom

A 1st Level AD&D® Adventure by MICHAEL WOODHEAD

Copyright © 2012 by Michael Woodhead under the Creative Commons License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/)

(Map created with Dungeon Maker)

DM's INFO:
Ravaged by a debilitating illness, a half-mad 5th level wizard named Arkimedes can only remember how to teleport, and has created what he likes to call the Dungeon of Doom. He challenges various adventurers passing through to complete the obstacle course he's created in return for wealthy prizes. However, what starts out as a simple test of the PCs' skills soon turns into a deadly competition that could very well lead to their deaths.
 
GOAL:
The primary goal of the PCs is to escape from the Dungeon of Doom alive.
 
WANDERING MONSTERS (d8)
(Teleported in by Arkimedes)
1 - 1 giant beetle    

2 - 2d12 centipedes   

3 - 1d4 fungi    

4 - 1d10 giant rats  

5 - 2d10 giant spiders

6 - 1 giant scorpion

7 - 2d20 giant ants

8 1d4 giant worms
 
NOTE: the game is predicated on the fact that the PCs will accept the offer to take the obstacle course. If they refuse, the portcullis at the entrance will slam shut and automatically lock. Arkimedes proclaims, "Then you'll never get out of here alive!", and then teleports away. He sends wandering monsters to each room the PCs subsequently enter in their quest to escape.
 
KEY:
C = concealed door
S = secret door
X = trap

1. ENTRANCE [15x15 feet; open portcullis north; locked secret stone door east; open wooden door west] A sign on the south wall reads, "Are You Really As Good
As You Think You Are? Then, It's Time To TEST YOUR METTLE! Challenge Your Teammates, Challenge Yourself, Human or Gnome, Halfling or Elf, Dwarf or Half-Elven, No Matter Your Race, Meet All the Challenges and Win or Lose Face. Prizes for the winners"
 
2. ROOM [15x15 feet; open wooden door east; closed wooden door west; stone tables north and south] Arkimedes welcomes the PCs and encourages them to participate in the Test Your Mettle challenge, especially with the 1000 GP prize money at stake. If the PCs agree, he motions them to go through the west door.
 
3. ARCHERY CONTEST [15x100 feet; targets at 50,75, and 100 feet; open wooden door southeast] Bows and arrows lie ready to be used. Each PC has three turns, once for each target, using percentile dice: 1st Target AC 9, 2nd Target AC 5, 3rd Target AC 1 PRIZE: +1 Bow
 
4. AXE-THROWING CONTEST [15x25 feet; unlocked wooden door north; targets at 25 feet] Target AC 7 PRIZE: +1 Axe of Hurling
 
5. HOLD YER BREATH CONTEST [15x15 feet; 5 x 10 foot deep pool in center] A Gem of Healing (+2 to Hit Points when held) glitters at the bottom. PCs try to reach it without disturbing an electric eel. PC gets one chance and must make a successful Constitution check or else the eel attacks
 
6. SWIMMING CONTEST [15x45 feet; long pool--5x35 feet, 10 feet deep] See PH 120-121 PRIZE: Helm of Underwater Action
 
7. MIRROR ROOM [15x15 feet; mirror on east wall; concealed stone door east behind mirror] Upon entering, PCs will see themselves reflected in a Mirror of Opposition. The images then become dopplegangers who step out of the mirror. The PCs must virtually fight themselves with whatever weapons are available, or grapple hand-to-hand if none are carried. If any PC is beaten, he is sucked into the mirror and the doppleganger takes his place (played by the PC). However, the doppleganger becomes a mirror image of the original PC--for example, if the PC is right-handed, he now becomes left-handed.
 
8. PIT OF PERIL [30x30 feet; 10 feet down stairs from north door; 3 cages southwest; trapped wooden door south] Stepping on the square at the bottom of the stairs releases 2d4 rats from one of the cages. After one round, 2d4 goblins are released, and after a further round, 2d4 orcs are released from the cages. The creatures attack the PCs.
 
9. TREASURE ROOM [20x30 feet; pile of treasure along south wall; wooden door north; locked wooden door south; 5x10 foot drop pit trap in front of door] PCs peering through the door from the Pit of Peril will see the south wall lined with various treasures (DM's choice of what kind and how much). Within the pile of treasure will be two identical chests--one real, the other, a Mimic. First PC into the room will trigger a pit trap 10 feet deep with spikes on the bottom.
 
10. ROOM [20x30 feet; wooden door north; stone door east; empty] Check for Wandering Monster(s) before PCs enter
 
11. CORRIDORS [5 feet wide] As soon as PCs are through the door, it slams shut behind them. Water begins pouring it from the end of the corridor. In the water are 2d6 leeches which attach themselves to 1d4 randomly-chosen PCs. A trigger just south of the trap opens up a pit. Any PC sliding into the pit will become entangled in strangleweed. Check for Wandering Monsters.
 
12. ROOM [15x15 feet; two sarcophagi, east and west] Stairs lead up to this room. If the PCs open the sarcophagi, they will find two giant centipedes in one of them. They attack the PCs
 
13. CORRIDORS [5 feet wide] Check for Wandering Monsters. Stepping on the trap releases noxious fumes for 1d8 turns
