Real Estate
I was meeting my wife at the house. It was the perfect one, at least what we saw of it online. It was older, and it had all of the character that we’d been looking for. The last three houses we’d seen were in cookie cutter, new construction subdivisions, and neither of us felt great about the options. Though, I did like the amount of room the modern houses left for a new television.

Wolves In The Woods
The fire crackled and spit. John had a bad habit of putting wet logs in the flames. I’ve told him several times that the dry wood was on the right, but John is both dull and lazy so now I get to watch for popping embers. One ember shot in between Jesse’s feet. She was also sometimes dull, but was much more palatable than her boyfriend.

The Lawyer And The Wolf
It was hard to keep my eyes closed in the lobby of the lawyer’s office as the man sitting next to me wouldn’t stop fidgeting.

The Girl At The Bar
The bar was loud and packed with people. It was truly the last place I wanted to be. I spent most of my time on the road going from small town to small town. At this point, I’d been to every little farming hamlet in the Midwest.

An Angel Walks Into A Bar
On the edge of town, in a dimly lit bar, the most powerful entity in the universe sat on his stool huddled over a glass of whiskey.

More Than Dinner Less Than Friends
I smiled when she sat down at the table. I had only been waiting ten minutes. She wasn’t as late as she used to be. I'd considered eating at the little 24/7 diner across the street. I figured I'd be hungry by the time she showed up.

Coffee With Frankenstein
I sat in the corner of the little 24/7 diner, with my back to the wall, doing my best to seem like a local. I learned the hard way to make sure nothing could sneak up on on you.
