Stolen Proposal
Trembling, I slowly insert my hand into my left coat pocket to grab the ring. I can feel the soft felt of the lining on my fingers. My hand has traveled this very path dozens of times before, practicing how to smoothly remove it from its pocketed hold. I cautiously bring my hand back into the sunlight and extend the ring, stone-side up, glistening. I hear a gasp to my right as I watch the hooded man disappear with my life's savings in the palm of his hand. I turn to my right- and in tears, my girlfriend says 'Yes!'

The Midnight Rendezvous
Contentment became me as I awaited my secret lover. Brethren whimpered in the darkness nearby. “Will he come?” Quiet befell the monumental garden as twelve bells pealed the half-moonlit sky. Weeping willows whispered, Sssss...am. Dressed in my finest. I waited. Alone.

Peaceful Dreams
“There’s nothing more we can do,” I heard them say. I could feel my eyes closing with an instance of a doctor’s tender touch. The longevity in the beep of a monitor next to me indicated that I was no longer immortal, and yet, I couldn’t have felt more alive. I had waited for this moment since the day He took her from me. The doctors were unaware of the unexplainable phenomenon that was emulating throughout my frail body, like a flash of lightening in the awakening of a storm just before the calm. I could finally see my world clearly in all of its beauty. Her eyes were the swift oceans and her lips, the parting mountains to a heart and soul more elegant than the nimbuses above. Heaven is a place on Earth, for I could not have soared any higher.

A Life for a Life
My wife was in the hospital bed right next to me. I had gone away to war, expected to die, and she was to come home with a new bundle of life. Except, the opposite had happened. Most babies cry when they come out of the womb. But Avery had taken all of the tears away from our son’s short-lived journey into this world of pain and suffering. Maybe life wasn’t all that golden as it was made to be. Maybe He was nothing more than a dictator. I would have done anything to go back to the battlefield.

Midnight
You finally obey the voices and very carefully wake up, trying to breathe slowly and deeply. The bedroom is filled with live golden light, shifting, and stirring as if a dozen candles are nodding to some imperceptible breeze. There is a woman sitting at the foot of the bed, nude, her back very straight, arms extended, and it takes you a long second to realize that this is your wife – her hair seems longer and of slightly wrong color, and she is quietly chanting: “Aum ing quorro, aum ing quorro…” The light seems to grow dense around her as she speaks, only to roll back to the walls leaving her silhouette shimmering with afterglow. “Aum ing quorro!” - she keeps insisting, familiar steel appearing in her voice - “Aum ing quorro!” Still, the waves of light come and go, throwing the shadows up and down the curtains. “What do the neighbors see?” - you wonder fleetingly, and then the woman brings her hands together, palms facing up. “Aum ing quorro!” - the voice is so low now that you feel it resonate inside your chest. The light coalesces again, but this time it forms a glowing sphere in her hands, and then she brings it against her chest and for a moment you can see the rib cage through the gold radiance of her skin, and then the light fades and you hear her soft satisfied laugh in the darkness. You hear the usual crawling under the blanket rustle and then it is quiet, with only a faint sound of a truck engine far away. And then you realize two things: you have never opened your eyes, and you can see the stars through the roof.
