Motivation.
|
Caitlyn sighed and stared out the window at the towering wall of the cityscape before her and watched the cloud shadows sift across the mirrored exteriors in alternating bands of grey and light. She felt the familiar sensation of dissatisfaction working it's way back into her...

Book Shop (I).
|
The little silver bell above the door jingles merrily and my first and, possibly only, customer of the day enters. I look up from scrutinizing the columns of my accounts ledger and let my glasses slide down to the end of my nose. I hope that my surprise doesn't show too much.

End.
|
In the end, it happened so terribly fast that perhaps no one saw it coming.
The one attacked the other; it was brutal, over-bearing and savage. The initial news reports were scant. There were few foreign journalists there to report it, but gradually, trickle out, it did....

Sun.
|
The sun peaks over the top of the clap-board saloon, chasing away the last of the morning's shadows from the street and for a moment I am blinded but I dare not move. Finally, the glare clears from my eyes and there he is, emerging from some hidden place and his long strides bring...

Boardwalk.
|
In the early hours of dawn, as the day is blessed by the first rays of the warm summer sun, I am drawn by the sleeplessness of a restless mind to the near solitude of the city boardwalk.
The sky rapidly brightens as the sun climbs over the unobstructed horizon that is the...

Diamond.
|
The early edition is already out when I pull up to the front steps of the ultra-luxurious President Hotel and, as I step to the pavement, a boy runs up to me with a bundle of papers under his arm. I toss him a quarter and, tipping his cap to me, he gives me one and then rushes off...

Fate (Part I).
|
The uptown booze-can known only as C.U. is jumping for a Friday afternoon and it seems like everyone in a four block radius with nothing better to do is there. The place is big and comfortable, just steps down from street level, with a big steel door painted red and an awning over...

Search.
|
I lie awake in fractured consciousness; my shattered mirror thoughts are stars that call my name, recollecting a different space and identity. The light is pallid on limpid skin; the beams are connected to yesterday but move too fast to see tomorrow. 'These fragments don't fit!' I...

Deception.
|
She is twenty-five minutes late and I order another Manhattan.
The bartender's name is Jackie. She is a well-built girl, big but not fat. Her ample breasts seem uncomfortably compacted beneath her shirt and restaurant uniform and I appreciate the wide curve of her hips over...

Elevator.

The building lobby is dim and silent as the old clock on the wall by the elevator door clicks away the last seconds of the day and then, low and sombre, begins to chime midnight. One, two...
I press the knob again impatiently to call the elevator and my eye trails absently,...

Anger.
|
I feel it on me and within me; a beast that threatens to wrestle control from my mind and body, rampaging and destroying until nothing is left but an emotional whimper and physical exhaustion.
It's desire knows no limit; it is a needful thing. It wants to lash out and grasp...

Evanescence - 2002 - Anything for You
This is an unreleased track from the 'Fallen' sessions. I can't figure out why Amy left it off, it's a great one.

The Traveller's Tale
|
May the Lord God and His Son and Our Saviour Iesu Cristo watch over and protect all who dwell in this house. Amen.
I was born in Buda-Pest but have lived all of my life in a nearby town called Unterkiefer, because it is part of the lower defences of our glorious cities. I...

Ships.
|
“Like two ships that pass in the night…”; a metaphor for loss.
I have seen ships pass in the night.
In summer, the ferry crossing from Porto Torres on the island of Sardegna to the port city of Genoa in northern Italy is crowded and...

Passion.
|
It started out innocently enough; it finished quite differently.
I awake in the early hours of a June morning as the first light of the new day begins to peak through the closed blinds. My legs are entwined in crisp, perfumed sheets. Her back is pressed against my chest and...

Dream.
|
In dreams we are powerless to protect ourselves.
In dreams, there is sometimes only fear.
In my dream, I am standing in my bedroom in front of the door which stands open slightly. The room is illuminated in the pale grey light of a waning moon. The mirrored...
