Earthquakes (II).
Like the old saying, 'good things come to those who wait', so it is, I believe, with happiness although, in my mind, happiness is something that needs to be worked toward; to build the circumstances in one's own......Read More

“Paul! What the hell are you doing?”
Kevin, the warehouse supervisor, strode up, swaggering like a street-fighter, to where I was akwardly hunched over a painfully slow and frightfully old......Read More

Vegas, baby!
|
The plane cruises, descending, through a brilliantly lit sky above the desert that is painted gold and shades of pink in the late afternoon sun. I hear the engines rev and a slight tremor passes through the vehicle as it banks perceptibly; the Merlot in my glass banks similarly. I take a......Read More

The Last Story (I).
|
The writer sat before his computer and his finger scrolled softly and silently over the archive of stories; the accumulated work of years stored in the anonymous, digital guise of zero's and one's on the disk.

Miss Redd.
|
She is new to our office. To me, she is a dream. Her name is Katherine Redd.

Truth.

Mirror.

'The small funeral procession arrived, on a spring afternoon, led by the long, black and highly polished hearse, its roof adorned with flowers, at the Woodlawn Cemetery where he was...'
The book snaps shut in my shaking hands and I fling it across the room, desiring to be as far from it......Read More

The Weight.

The Weight.
