SILVER FALLS
Prologue Alone. I sit in the chair by the window, peering out into the never-ending darkness. My soul, like the night, is empty. I haven't slept well in years and tonight is no exception. A quick check of the clock only strengthens my bewilderment. Half-past three. I groan, and as I do my eyes drift to the bed where she lies sleeping. Her figure is cast in the silver glow of moonlight. Her face is angelic, frozen in time. But beneath the veil of perfection, beyond the reach of even the greatest physicians, a dark mass grows.

AND THE RIVERS RAN DOWN TO THE SEA
JOHNNY CARL SAT totally immersed in the book while reading and didn’t see Jolyn come in. For a moment, the sixteen-year-old sat watching her big brother. What was he reading? The little black notebook looked odd—no, not odd in the way it was strange, just odd in that its cover had no markings and seemed more of a dairy than something printed. The girl’s curiosity got the best of her.

The blessed ride from hell
One Thursday night, at one o'clock in the morning, she decided to to visit her sister in downtown Flatbush. She called a cab, grabbed her huge p0cket book, and exited out of her mother's apartment in Brooklyn. I was heavily raining outside, and while waiting for her ride, she looked at the disgusting aspect of the brick buildings in the neighborhood and watched the drops falling down on them as if a miracle was going to happen. She wished that one day she could be out of that dull panorama and back to her beloved Cap-Haitian in Haiti.

The Cursed Film Part 2
Cursed? For some, maybe, like Lorne, Steph, Wade and his family: An old alcoholic who treated his body like shit and had a heart attack; not unusual. Young jealous boyfriend kills girlfriend and self; sadly not unusual. Unstable teenager runs car into parents and killing them; not unusual but at the same time not an exotic happening. Depressed man, and Wade was always a depressive, getting a divorce and has a breakdown; that shit happens hundreds of times a day.

Red Fox
Apparently, the price for a human life is $20,000 - at least in America. What a crazy country this was, he thought to himself, as he threw his shovel over his shoulder. He looked down on the freshly filled grave in front of him that contained the corpse of James Frankcourt, happy and alive a few hours prior. Forty-something, white, one of those men that always carry an air of unclaimed superiority about them. Smug in life, foolish in death.

He turned her to face him and told her it would be ok. She didn’t know why she trusted him so much, but she did. Maybe it was his eyes. Every time she looked into his eyes, she gained a little inner peace and calm.

Harley Kincaid
Leaning back in the old rocking chair, I rested my feet on the porch railing. My big boots resting on the porch railing, provided a frame for me to look through as I gazed out over the front yard toward the road in the distance. Dust hung in the still air marking the passage of a car long minutes ago. The open window behind me brought the sound of my wife and boys cleaning up our dinner dishes as they talked and laughed through the operation. I sipped the last of my iced tea and felt the contented fatigue that comes after a long physical day.
