This is going up in several parts. It's too long to post all at once. ********** “Are you awake?” Frankie exhaled, draped sideways across a chair and upside-down over one arm, watching the sunlight shine through the tree above his window. The shifting leaves created shadows......Read More

nemesis
Everybody has a nemesis. The mere thought of them causes you to narrow your eyes. You plot eachother's downfall, scheming during time that you ought to spend with loved ones. You haunt eachother's dreams. Some people get all grandiose and say "God" or "The......Read More

“Frankie?” No answer but echoes off the steep embankment up one side of the valley. Rolfe scowled at the changing shadows under the trees. He sat down and ate his sandwich. “Better hurry if you don’t want me to eat yours.” After a while, “I’m not......Read More

5 things
Oookay... someone tagged me apparently. The graffiti says "Christianity + Common Sense" so I guess Pastor Mike was wielding the spraypaint. The writing also seems to say that I have to list 5 things about myself. So here goes. 1) "Flight of the......Read More

When Rolfe arrived at Frankie's place there was a girl standing on the front lawn, looking dubiously up at the mansion. Her face, innocent of makeup, had a freshly-scrubbed look. She wore a button-up sweater and a skirt that reached well below her knees. The wind had risen and it ruffled her......Read More

rejection
This isn't going to be me baring my xombie soul, or a rant, or some whiny emo abortion. Let's get rid of that assumption right now. Got two rejection letters from editors... two in one day. That's nothing unusual. Usually my stuff gets kicked from magazine to......Read More

Last chapter... have fun. Frankie tried again to explain what had happened that evening. He’d seen the shadows under the trees waving as if inviting him to come see. Naturally he accepted the invitation. Why would he do anything else? Through the shade he could see grass such a deep......Read More

you call that a stabbin'?
I'm annoyed by books and movies in which characters stab eachother by raising the knife high into the air and plunging it into another character's chest or even their back.

rock n roll weekend
My birthday was great, but the crowning event was, of course, the Phish concert. The venue was the Gorge, a huge canyon carved out by the Columbia River on the east side of the Olympic mountain range. It took some driving, lemme tell you. Going to a big concert is a process,......Read More
