I like to sing. I sang in church and school choirs all my life and at karaoke nights. But when the Covid lockdown came, my club nights were over, so I was looking for a singing outlet. A friend recommended a singing app to me, and I signed up. You could sing any song youContinue reading “Rock and Roll Lover”

Song Sung Blue
Brandy was enthused at her first visit to the renaissance fair with her longtime boyfriend Dale. She embraced the merriment by meticulously making period wench and farmer costumes for them. But Brandy was especially excited for another reason. After 10 years together she wondered if Dale was ready to take their relationship to the nextContinue reading “Song Sung Blue”
Accidents Happen
It was an accident. A spectacular accident, but an accident nonetheless. I’m an artist. Graduating from a very prestigious art school, for years, I diligently worked on paintings for the important gallery opening I always saw in my future. But to pay the bills I painted commissioned art for commercial billboards to sell various productsContinue reading “Accidents Happen”
Buried
Staring down at the four story staircase, we slowly descended… step by step. I didn’t think I was claustrophobic, but as we lowered further into the abyss, I stared at the walls in complete understanding of how someone could feel them closing in. When we reached the only remaining Edinburgh catacomb, appropriately called a close,Continue reading “Buried”
One Ides of March
Log date March 15 0700 hours. My nerves are raw. My anxiety at peak. I did not enter any REM sleep last night. All I could do is glare at the ceiling for the clock to strike. Waiting for the alien invasion we’ve expected for sometime is unnerving. We’ve prepared. We’ve trained. But I don’tContinue reading “One Ides of March”
A Whole New World
Caroline sat in front of her picture window with a steaming cup of coffee gazing out in the glowing amber ball of the morning sun rising as if it were ascending for the first time. The last eight hours much like the prior two months and even past 30 years had been a nightmare. PrisonedContinue reading “A Whole New World”
Brace For Impact
In southwest Florida bridges are an unfortunate bain of existence. With a myriad of waterways monikered with a variety of names like bays, gulfs, oceans, channels, canals and lakes, the boats which traverse these often conflict with the roads, motorists and straight lines, thus resulting in what I like to call scary bridges. And inContinue reading “Brace For Impact”
Work To Live
Work was frantic in Stephanie’s real estate office. On one line she was talking a buyer with cold feet off the edge while on the other lines she had an attorney and another agent on the phone about problems with other pending deals. And in front of her, an assistant holding bunches of files tryingContinue reading “Work To Live”
White Picket Fence
Sandy was tired of her world. Drudging to the overworked menial office job she hated left her little time for a life. And more and more her friends peeled off after getting married and having kids, leaving her alone on her hellish daily treadmill. The nightmare of dating became an endless game of Duck, Duck, Goose. She’d meet someone at work, in lineContinue reading “White Picket Fence”
Darkness Within
The dark sky loomed, relentlessly following every step, blocking every turn. I never thought I could feel so powerless. How could the world twist so out of control that it would target my child? I’ve always trailed my own unconventional path, but I can’t imagine what it feels like to be trapped in your ownContinue reading “Darkness Within”
