“C’mon, Kelsey. I thought we were going.” “I’m almost ready.” she didn’t move though, she sat at her boudoir, staring at her sunken face in the mirror. “Get it together,” she told her forlorn reflection. It was supposed to be a happy time, but she was struggling. She tried. She really did. She looked atContinue reading “Happy…”

The Orb
The orb was glowing when he found it hovering in the forest. It floated effortlessly above a small pool which now reflected twin moons in a starry sky on its shimmering surface. Leon reached for his camera and snapped several pictures of the orb itself before redirecting his lens at the pool. He was aContinue reading “The Orb”
She Flew
She longed for the romance of the road. A sexy bike between her thighs. A sexy man… Well… Also between her thighs. Her pining was an empty spot in her belly, a visceral ache in her loins. She lay awake tossing and turning. This life… This settled, sedentary, nine to five life… She thought sheContinue reading “She Flew”
Driving With the Top Down
The sun is on my back… Here I am in the car… His car. The top is down, even though I know my skin will burn. He would have put sunblock on me… He would have enjoyed a day like today. The sun is on my back as I drive. The road ahead is freeContinue reading “Driving With the Top Down”
Romance is Dead?
She threw herself on the bed, sobbing inconsolably. Her soul was empty. Her heart was ripped out of her chest. She had fallen so hard for him, her hero in red… Romance was dead and had taken her out with it… He had fallen for her too… For as long as he could be inContinue reading “Romance is Dead?”
Laughter
The laughter reverberated in his head… All of it. He couldn’t make it stop. They laughed at him when he went out shopping. They laughed at him when he walked the dog. They laughed at him at the doctor’s office. They laughed and laughed and laughed… At night, he couldn’t sleep. He pulled the coversContinue reading “Laughter”
My Friend,
My friend, how long have we known each other? 10 years? 15? 20? More? I’m not sure, but it feels like a lifetime and beyond. That makes this easy and yet difficult. I need to tell you something. You won’t want to hear it but here goes… You are so much more than you allowContinue reading “My Friend,”
Minor Trouble
Joly stood smoking as the bus emptied into the school. She always smoked just outside the school gate in the most visible spot possible. She carried a general “fuck you” kind of attitude towards everyone but mostly teachers and staff. In any case, Joly was the person to go to if you needed to breakContinue reading “Minor Trouble”
Stealing Joy
She radiated joy and I couldn’t stop looking. I wanted to take it from her, to possess it for myself. So, I watched her, stalked her, actually. I was obsessed and nothing else existed. I learned her schedule, when she went to work and returned home. I knew she stayed up late reading. In theContinue reading “Stealing Joy”
Trajectory
Steve stood panting over the man he had just pummeled into the ground. “Hey, Man. Are you ok?” a hand touched his shoulder… Was he ok? Of course he was ok. Wasn’t it obvious he had won the fight? But the hand remained steady. He heard blood whooshing in his ears and realized the worldContinue reading “Trajectory”
