This week is a post rewind. I am working on a few other projects and prepping for a long-awaited and well-earned vacation with my family. So this week, enjoy a story I wrote for a project called Flash Fiction Friday that my friend Krisann sponsored a couple of years back. And speaking of Krisann, I … Continue reading Rewind – Salmonella

That Woman: Part 4 of a Story
For Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 The Woman and Mr. Williams The moment was palpable. I was riding the elevator down from the 32nd floor, my mind still on the meeting I had just left. The music was irritating in a vauge way and the person behind me was standing too uncomfortably close. … Continue reading That Woman: Part 4 of a Story
That Woman: Part 3 of a Story
For Part 1 and Part 2. The Sadness and Mr. Williams I had lied. Not about a lot, but a couple of little ones sprinkled through. It made the story better if I left out a couple of parts. Like not telling Barry I had already gone to Vegas for a lost weekend, and forgotton most … Continue reading That Woman: Part 3 of a Story
That Woman: Part 2 of a Story
Here's some advice folks: Don't go near a sick 2-year old. They are Petri dishes and a violation of the Geneva Convention's ban on chemical warfare. They look all cute and cuddley, then you feel like death warmed over for days. So, after a short delay, Part 2. If you missed it, or need to refresh … Continue reading That Woman: Part 2 of a Story

Spirits of Relationships Passed: A Story
The door slammed shut hard. "Dammit!" Amy turned around, fire in her eyes. "You're such an asshole Steven." "What? I don't know what I did!" "That's the third guy this month. You can't just keep scaring away my dates!" "Hey if they can't handle your roommate..." "I don't think it's the roommate situation they can't handle, Steven. … Continue reading Spirits of Relationships Passed: A Story
Today’s post is brought to you by…
This piece was originally written for a writing exercise about two years ago. The prompt was "Fairytell - with a twist." I re-edited it for publication this evening mostly because I spent the day with my tumultuous two-year old and was unable to finish editing the piece I had originally planned. Life is awesome, but unexpected. What’ll I … Continue reading Today’s post is brought to you by…
A Love Story
Our breathing rang in my ears, and I could feel my heart beating in my stomach. "Do you think they've stopped?" I glanced behind us. "I don't know," I panted. "And I don't really want to find out. Come on." I pushed off against the brick wall, forcing myself to go a little further. The … Continue reading A Love Story
Vacation-gram: “What’ll You Have?”
Hello All! I am still on vacation this week. I am now sitting on the beach, enjoying an iced coffee and some sun. Or sitting in my room playing Cities: Skyline, which is much more likely. Anyways, I wanted to make sure you still had something to keep you busy. This was written for a Writer's … Continue reading Vacation-gram: “What’ll You Have?”
Tonight at 11….
It started off innocently enough: just getting a little, let's call it creative, with a small story. Maybe I sprinkled a couple of "facts" in with the story. No one double checks our network. Hell, we are at the bottom of the ratings every night. Well, were at the bottom. See, my boss walked in one … Continue reading Tonight at 11….
