The Candle In The Window
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window." "As legend goes, whosoever glimpses it first must venture within, alone, and find the second before darkness falls the following night; find it, light it, and set it in the opposite window."

They Sent Me A Message I Couldn't Ignore
I'm not proud of it, but when you receive one of the calls about your car's extended warranty, it's sometimes me. I'm a writer, a published writer with an agent and a bestseller and everything. Five years ago, I was number three on several bestseller lists. Five years ago, Oprah featured my book on her book list. Five years ago, I sat on Ellen Degeneres and promoted the shit out of my book, a move that netted me the house I now live in. It was a good year for me, and when my agent suggested that I write a sequel, I jumped at the chance.

Do Not Put It Out
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned bright in the window. I noticed it as I trudged through the swamp and began running through all the possible explanations behind the presence of this amber glow. Any that I could theorize were dispelled by my confidence that no one had been down here since Katrina. It’s a treacherous landscape that only a seasoned veteran like myself should attempt to survey. Only a few referential landmarks remained in this labyrinth of driftwood and Spanish moss, and while this old cabin was my North Star, it never burned like one before tonight.

The Abandoned Cabin
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Jameson shouldn't have been out there, that night, but he stumbled out from the thicket, scraping his hands on the rocks as he hit the ground. He had come out to the woods to escape from the stress for a while, but once he had seen that candle flickering in the distance, he forgot what he was stressed about.

I Wonder if my Wife Suspects ME
I should wait until she is well and truly asleep but tonight I just can’t wait. At dinner I slip some crushed up sleeping tablets into her soup, hoping she won’t notice. It seems to work. As we sit on the couch watching some talent show garbage I see her struggle to stay awake.

The Last Performance of Lady Zunie
My Great Grandmother, Sofia Zunie, is easily the most important person in my life. She has seen one hundred and eighteen years and has been through so much in her long life. She was born in Russia, in Moskow actually, in nineteen o' four. She was a member of the Russian Ballet until she left for America in nineteen twenty-four. She danced and taught ballet once she established herself in America, and now she supports the arts in her old age and helps instructers in getting the most from their dancers.
