Alice had visions of standing on the porch, looking the part of a gracious home owner as Aaron came to celebrate his twenty-first birthday.

Aaron 6
When Aaron was still eighteen a voice came to him. It said “Are you insane?” And Aaron said “It’s no big deal.” “It’s ten million dollars. Are you aware of how much money that is?” “Not as much as four hundred million. Besides, it’s the least we can do after all this time. And weContinue reading “Aaron 6”
Aaron 2
When Aaron was two, near enough to three, a voice spoke to him, and it said, “Remember”.

She, like the town, died due to disastrous hurricane winds that took out the piers, the boats, and many of theContinue reading “Life Goes On”
If not for…
.. the effervescent glow deep in the woods, I would have gotten in the car and gone home. The twinkle of stars in the night sky, the whisper of the trees, the grass giving my steps a softer place, all was normal, including Patrice, my soul mate, my love, my heart and soul. I swearContinue reading “If not for…”
Was I being selfish?
I wanted the same thing he did. We were a couple, going down the same path, building a future. I tolerated his whimsical side, in fact, it’s why I loved him. But we had to get practical. He had to get serious. That’s why I threw out his x-box.
