Against the Wind
Arthur grunted while he wiped away the leaf that flew into his face as he kept walking. He sighed as he looked up at the sky, which was getting darker by the second. The sun was still shining in some places but Arthur knew that it wouldn’t be long until all remnants of light disappeared. It was going to storm, and judging by how the wind was steadily picking up, it was going to be a bad one.

The Tempest
Big breath in. Big breath out. It’s coming again. I can sense it. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up. “Surely it’s not another one? So soon after the last?” I think to myself. I feel a sense of rising dread. I try to swallow it back down. Dark, ominous clouds are gathered on the horizon, like an army, ready for battle.

I Know You
It was the flash of bright red fabric that initially caught my eye. I turned my head subconsciously to follow the flutter of movement and focused on a boy in a bright red tunic. He was standing in front of a shop on the other side of the road with his back to me. I cannot say what kept my attention fastened to him, for there was nothing unusual about his appearance nor what he was doing. His clothing was simple and of decent quality with a tasseled sash of vivid red silk tied around his waist. He had a wild mess of dark curls and olive toned skin that was hardly unusual here, but the instant I caught a glimpse of his face the world around me abruptly melted away.

Goodbye Richard
Introduction You can never trust a politician. Some you can trust less than others. This is from a time when big money didn't own politicians as much. This is a work of fiction. It is inspired by a painting by Guy Peellaert from his book "20th Century Dreams" where Nixon is abandoned by the guardian angel he thought he had.

The Ghost of a Flea
by: D.R. Humphreys (the DreamWriter) I've never found any advantages to being a hypochondriac. Some have told me, when you're a severe one like I am, the advantage is the tendency to stay away from people, so you never get your heart broken. I'm not sure if these people really believe that or if they think they're giving me some kind of justification for the way I live, which is also slightly agoraphobic... well, more than slightly. I work solely out of my apartment. I order my food on line and have it delivered. I do everything in that six hundred square foot place. I look out the window longingly wanting, unsuccessfully, to be normal. I catch glimpses of people walking by, at the end of the alley, that I can see if I really push my face against the window hard, and look out of my right eye, as it almost touches the glass. Otherwise, if I look straight ahead, I see the brick wall of the building on the other side of the alley. I get my heart broken at least once a week. Being couped up in an apartment all the time you have a tendency to watch a lot of television, or at least have it on for background noise. At one time or another, you begin watching soap operas. Then you develop relationships with the actors in them. I have developed romantic fantasies with some of the actors, so I become victimized by their transgressions.
