The Boxer



Nineteen year old Danny Flynn is imprisoned for his involvement with the IRA in Belfast. He leaves behind his family and his fourteen year old girlfriend, Maggie Hamill. Fourteen years later, Danny is released from prison and returns to his old working class neighborhood to resume his life as a boxer, fighting and opening a boxing club training aspiring young boxers. Maggie has since married Danny's best friend, who is also imprisoned for his IRA activities. Although he has not denounced the I! RA or denigrated his IRA colleagues, Danny has decided to live a life free of political violence. His boxing club is non-sectarian, open to both Catholics and Protestants. This move irks some of his old IRA colleagues since they feel working with the Protestants will not resolve their David versus Goliath struggle. Danny's old IRA colleagues, especially their unofficial leader Harry, resort to traditional tactics of violence to stop Danny. Maggie's father, Joe, also an IRA activist, does not condone the violence against Danny as he is working through peaceful means to free IRA prisoners (including Maggie's husband), but also does not want Maggie to resume her past relationship with Danny, a man who he sees as having no future. Amidst this turmoil, Danny and Maggie dream of a life together, also taking into account Maggie's wedded status and the feelings of her teen-aged son, Liam.

His retirement from the game began a slow but steady decline for the NASL as money issues for the league and the spending practices of the Cosmos became a running controversy.

Pet Sematary II

Pet Sematary II



The "sematary" is up to its old zombie-raising tricks again. This time, the protagonists are Jeff Matthews, whose mother died in a Hollywood stage accident, and Drew Gilbert, a boy coping with an abusive stepfather. Written by Michael "Rabbit" Hutchison <rabhutch@spacestar.net>





After his actress mother Renee Hallow is electrocuted to death before his eyes on the set of a movie she was shooting, Jeff Matthews and his veterinarian father Chase decide to move from Los Angeles to Renee's hometown of Ludlow, Maine - the town that hou! ses the "pet sematary" - to live in the family's summer house so Jeff "can get away from the craziness of Hollywood," according to Chase. Chase also hires a housekeeper, Marjorie Hargrove, who is a huge fan of Renee. There, Jeff has trouble fitting in at school, being tormented by school bully Clyde Parker for his mother's celebrity status, plus he can't stand Marjorie and her obsession with his mother and sometimes feels she's trying to replace her. He manages to befriend fellow outsider Drew Gilbert, the stepson of the town's sheriff Gus Gilbert, who was an ex-boyfriend of Renee. Gus runs the house he shares with Drew and his mother Amanda much like a jail, and Drew gets abused physically and verbally by Gus whenever Gus feels Drew is "breaking the laws" of the house while Amanda stands by and does practically nothing to defend her son from him. One night, Gus catches Drew's dog Zowie messing around his rabbit hutch for the umpteenth time, and then murders Zowie in cold b! lood. The next day, Drew decides to bury his dog not in the pe! t semata ry, but in the cursed Micmac burial ground that lies beyond the pet sematary, his actions fueled by the stories of Louis Creed and Jud Crandall burying pets and people up there that came back to life. Jeff goes along with him to help with the burial. Zowie comes back, but he's definitely not the same dog that he was before he was killed, possessing a very malevolent demeanor that is evident by his eyes, which now glowed an eerie yellow. Gus grounds Drew thinking that he lied when he said the reason he missed school that day was so he could bury his dog. Not long after, on Halloween, Drew sneaks out to meet up with Jeff, Clyde, and a few others at the pet sematary to tell bonfire stories, but Gus learns of where Drew is at from Amanda and crashes the get-together. Angry that Drew "broke the law," Gus starts beating him, but before Gus can really hurt Drew, Zowie emerges and violently kills Gus. Terrified about Gus' death, Jeff and Drew decide to take him up to the burial grou! nd to try and resurrect him so no one would think he was ever dead. It works, but it is then that all hell breaks loose. Pretty soon, Jeff starts to wonder if maybe he should use the sinister power of the burial ground to bring his mother back to life..... Written by Tornado Dragon
