Not gonna eat that Oscar came home about 3 o’clock. She thought it was odd but then again, school hadn’t started yet. When she opened the door, she didn’t see him, she saw a thunder cloud. “What’s wrong?” When he came in, he started pacing around the living room. “Let me tell you about theseContinue reading “Winter Season”

Let’s talk
What topics do you like to discuss? Let’s talk about life? Too stressful. ~ Let’s talk about the weather? Same as yesterday. ~ Let’s talk about work? Dear heavens no! ~ Let’s talk about the movies?

Living among mortals, nigh. ~ A prayer. A wish. The longing of a lovers kiss. The flicker ofContinue reading “Metamorphoses”
Winter Season
Grass As he got close to his house, the smell of fresh cut grass made him sneeze. When he got out of his SUV, he froze. He looked all around in utter amazement. As he walked over to her house, he sneezed again. He didn’t knock on the door, or call. He just set onContinue reading “Winter Season”

Winter Season
