Guardians and Angels | Chapter Three (Part 10)
We headed into the night together, two boys on the cusp of forever, heading west, chasing a sun settled just over the horizon onto the Pacific Ocean. Backpacks on, baseball hats backward, sweaters pulled over our tee shirts, stepping out in unison, choreographed in our marching.

Guardians and Angels | Chapter Three (Part 9)
If I could rearrange time, I would take the moment his father caught us dancing in the California sunset, and I'd place it so far into our future, the universe would grow too cold for us to find it, all the burning stars would be long gone.

Guardians and Angels | Chapter One (Part 3)
He heard the rumble of his father’s truck approaching before the vibrations reached my ears. He tensed tight, muscles contracting into coiled cables. Flesh turned from tan to armor under my fingertips. I felt him change like the temperature. For a second a part of me thought he was getting ready to hit me, a quick strike and a sting descending in nanoseconds was what flashed across my mind.

His flesh was soft upon my flesh. I don’t think any part of my body was capable of movement at that moment but my heart.
