Not a Bunch of Film Reviews
When I write a short story, I would like the story to have details that linger with the reader. That’s the goal – to write so that traces of the tale stay alive after the reading. Like a good meal leaves a taste in the mouth. Or how a song echoes through memories.

The Legacy of Home
It was only August, but it already felt like Summer’s end. The heat had broken; maybe it was the thunderstorm of tears I had wept which had tempered the humidity and made the air less oppressive, as if the world were giving me some comfort. My eyes sizzled at the thought, threatening to begin bubbling pools again. I blinked fiercely, urging them silently to settle themselves. They obeyed, this time, and I sighed in relief. I did not want my eyes blurry as I traveled the tree arched mountain pass, her road ways curving up like a sanguine river. It was so peaceful, so familiar, and I cherished the sun sparkling through the emerald leaves and the smell of the sunlight toasting the onion grass as I drove onward towards home.

Under The Bed. Content Warning.
When I was a child, I had this odd friend. He wasn't some cuddly creature or a person like other imaginary friends were. No. My imaginary friend was this odd leathery creature with narrow black eyes and a huge, jagged tooth grin. That looked to be too big for his narrow face. Claws that wereabout three inches long and a sickly shade of yellow too. Long, disturbingly thin limbs that were a distinctly unnatural shade of white.
