Latest Innovation

This isn't my strongest piece and con­sid­er­ing that I've been bad sick all week I prob­a­bly should have stayed in bed and left well enough alone. Yea, right. This is also an exper­i­ment. ¬†I'm decent at descrip­tion but wanted to try doing some­thing in pure dia­log to see if I could carry a story that way. […]

Chances

He sat watch­ing the tele­vi­sion. It wasn't on but that hardly mat­tered since he wouldn't really be able to pay atten­tion to it any­way. The pills were start­ing to take effect. It wasn't much, just enough to make him feel just a lit­tle drowsy and woozy. The world had taken on a bit of a glowing haze. […]

Children's books and content ratings

Appar­ently there is a dis­cus­sion going around in some cir­cles about whether or not kids books should be labeled for con­tent. ¬†It's a tricky argu­ment for me because on the one hand I think they (and in fact all books) should have them. ¬†I don't want to read a book that is heav­ily laced with […]

Cyber Mummies

(be gen­tle, this was writ­ten in about an hour on the train this AM. ¬†I just learned about #flash­fri­day yes­ter­day (thurs­day) and wanted to join in) David sat on the couch. The tele­vi­sion was on but he was read­ing the fun­nies from the news­pa­per while scratch­ing behind Zena‚Äôs ears while she strug­gled to occupy as much […]

Return of the Master?

I'm start­ing to won­der if the 'death' of the Mas­ter at the end of Series 3 was planned. And by that I mean planned by the Mas­ter him­self. We know his wife is return­ing, and we know he was on Earth 18 months before the events of the series Drums, and we know the Doctor […]

Lost and Found - Poetry and a story.

Ugh. ¬†I can't believe I'm about to do this. So Beck men­tions to me the other week that she found some of the stuff I had writ­ten here many, many years ago (okay, 10). ¬†Most of it was poetry. ¬†Now, I have no prob­lem post­ing up poetry. ¬†I love poetry. ¬†Some of my favorite books are […]

The hunt

Harley sat and waited. He con­tin­ued to sit, and con­tin­ued to wait but now added 'glare' to his action list. He had con­sid­ered sim­ply star­ing but glare had more men­ace and con­sid­er­ing that as a Silky Ter­rier he was taller sit­ting than stand­ing it made more sense to glare and sit. It hadn't moved for several […]

Darkness

Dark­ness falls harshly around me, the edge of my world only a few inches away. I can again see the glow­ing eyes of my fears com­ing closer. The mon­sters gather around the edge of the remain­ing light, prob­ing and pok­ing like half remem­bered dreams the that haunt us in the early morn­ing. I reach toward […]

Untitled

Even in¬† the dark­est of night you bring hope and joy to my heart.¬† You make me smile and laugh.¬† You make me enjoy my life again.¬† But most important..you make me happy to be with you. I could search every library in the world and never find the words to describe the way my […]

The Angel

My world long destroyed, my heart long dead. The dreams and hopes of a thou­sand life­times were hid­den deep in my soul. Peace an idea, Hap­pi­ness only an illu­sion. Then came the angel on wings of gold, and whis­pers of love she came to me. With a smile of peace and joy, she came. She […]
