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 strong thighs;......Read More

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 hear......Read More

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 top that......Read More

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 to sell......Read More

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 lake and quickly......Read More

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 him to......Read More

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. The death toll......Read More

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.
The clients......Read More

Book Shop (II)
|
Please read 'Book Shop (I)' here .
He sort of wobbles off down a row of shelves and disappears but he's still talking. This old guy must know everything! He keeps talking and reading out names of authors: Camus, Cervantes, Conrad, Defoe, de Maupassant, Descartes, Donne, Dostoyevski, and I......Read More

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 mind. It......Read More
