Mystery

Witch Way
Rachel runs through the tavern to the only person who ever believed in her. She kneels next to the blood corpse of her soul mate. “No, please don’t leave me. Not like this. Baby, stay with me. We’re meant to be together till the end of time.” Tears streaming down her soft cheeks, her nose puffy from crying and screaming for the men not to shoot. Salem had always been a place that witches could go to feel safe. At least that’s what Rachel thought.

Walls of Death and Time: part 2
(Read part 1 HERE ) Another sold out show at the former Hyperion, another packed house. Everywhere I turn are shallow people dressed in their shallow finery, blathering on about their shallow little lives. I’ve watched this scene acted out thousands of times before. It plays out the same way every night with different actors each time, but tonight is different. Tonight I watch with something I thought had died a hundred years ago: hope.

The Lady Ceciliana
I leered intently at the man right in front of me, like a curious child encountering eccentricity for the very first time.

I Am Not
The AutoT pulled up smoothly on the driveway. On the outside, it resembled a newly released 2014 Chevy Suburban. One would not have guessed that this was a time machine that had just jumped seventy-three years back to arrive there at that moment.

The Saturation of Souls. Top Story - March 2023.
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. Shades as brilliant and bold as violet and plum mingled with precious pastels of lilac and lavender, spread thin across the heavens like gossamer silk. Veins of eggplant swirled in the shadows, while contrasting splashes of orchid beamed in the luminescent eye of the silvery moon.

Perfectly Natural
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. Everyone in Minneapolis saw it on April 21, 2016. It would only rain purple for him on the day he died. Somehow every time someone hears 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' you know the words. It's six minutes long, has no discernable melody, no chorus, and yet I don't know a single person who doesn't like it. You go certain places and say, "You remind me of the babe," loud enough and people break into a full song and dance. Why Graceland & Neverland bring people to tears, for bad or good reasons, they have them, and those reasons are strong. We are not sure who the flash mob movement benefited, but it was a well-documented spike for someone or some thing. When some of the big ones teamed up with words, camera, voice, and charisma, you the collective effort, you think is just for money, but it's for something greater. But then again, you only think of one name when you hear, "There's no crying in baseball." The woman older than sliced bread who died three weeks before her one-hundredth birthday and we still wanted more of, that golden, first lady of television. Those were the big ones; the ones anyone could recognize, practically gods in their own rights. Those who would play to thousands at a time, entertain and endure for years, even though most of them were dead.
