Martin wondered about the world.
He envisioned market squares bustling with people, with sellers offering anything you could imagine. Wool, cotton, silk for the richer folk, meats, buns, duck, rugs, pelts, leather. There would be smoke in the air from the cooks and the smoke shops. Voices would be heard everywhere, either hawkers trying to convince the crowd that theyContinue reading “Martin wondered about the world.”
Are we there yet?
That was the age old question. She asked it of her parents when she was a kid. Now she’s the adult, and the baton has officially been passed. It was mid-day as they made their way down the highway, a perfect day for a drive. Marie looked in the rear-view mirror at her son Elliott,Continue reading “Are we there yet?”
I want to write
I want to write. I need to write. I need to let the words inside of me be free. So that I can be, and be me, be heard, or read (read?). But I have obligations.

Crap!!!
I forgot I have a blog to keep up with. I’m presently focusing on a photo project, too focused. But tomorrow’s the big day! I’ve got a lot of work to do and I only have the day. For context, it’s a nude shoot. Now you would think how hard can that be? It’s hard.Continue reading “Crap!!!”
So I’ve had this task to do.
Which is to write a passage that leaves you hanging at the end, and then to re-write the ending into a bigger cliffhanger. And here it is. What do you think? Ready? Sheila cried out. “There isn’t time, we need to go now!” Barry was still on the phone talking to the head of theContinue reading “So I’ve had this task to do.”
“Captain, I think we’re done here.”
The Captain looked over the bow and couldn’t help but agree. “Sound the alarm. Abandon ship!” The First Mate sounded the alarm. Through the fire and the smoke it wasn’t clear how many men were left alive. This battle took so much from him.
I didn’t want to go to a graveyard for a picnic,
…but my boyfriend Jake insisted. He said it would be great, and if any spooks showed up he would beat them to within an inch of their lives. I rolled my eyes at that, and asked if he was just trying to get laid. “Naw, baby. It’ll be great. Look Val, there’ll be a fullContinue reading “I didn’t want to go to a graveyard for a picnic,”
We went to the bar…
We went to the bar because why not? We were looking to be inconspicuous, but a few rounds blew that out the window. We tried to hide, but trouble kicked in the door, all 6’6” of him. We made a promise that day: never again try to cheat the wrong person.
The phone rang.
Bradley answered it, hoping it was his mother telling him she was on her way home. “Hello” he said into the phone. “Bradley, it’s me.” Yes, thought Bradley. “I’m going to be late, I just picked up a shift at the diner.” No! Bradley thought. “But mom, me and the guys were going to theContinue reading “The phone rang.”
