Chapter 1 Part 2 “Who is the leader of the Bejhar?” Frego’s eyes got large and round. He looked at Max, whose face was reflecting his own expression. “Dad, you can’t be serious?” “Why can’t I?” “I find it hard to believe.” “Believe and answer.” “You’ve met a thousand times, at least.” “That’s twice I’veContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”

Once there was Darkness
Introduction Once there was Darkness is a story that I have been working on for a long time. My journey to Christianity has been a roller coaster. I tried to pepper this story with Bible verses and religious vibes to help me along my path. I’m only going to post small sections at a timeContinue reading “Once there was Darkness”
Temporary Freedom
100 words One pleasant fall evening, I decided to build a spice rack. After gathering my supplies, I hooked up my dog then got busy. Unbeknownst to me, a humanless dog went strolling by. With the strength of a Shetland Pony, my 10 pound chihuahua broke his lead. Fat girl; armed with a cellphone flashContinue reading “Temporary Freedom”
The Legend of Dan Gut
The Legend of Dan Gut My dad and I went to the family cemetery one Saturday afternoon to look around and just remember. Dad was always talking about the good ole days. About the way things used to be. He told me stories about walking from Elkcorn to Hyden and back. Hoeing in the gardenContinue reading “The Legend of Dan Gut”
Getting to know
Dating is difficult at any age. It is especially difficult for me because I’m an introvert. The older we get, we know a potential partner comes with baggage: children, debt, ex’s, for starters. We hold our breath with anxious dread waiting for the crazy to drop. I let someone get in my head and convinceContinue reading “Getting to know”
NO PETS
As I’m sitting waiting to go into the dentist, I notice a sign on the door that I’ve not seen before. In big black letters it reads NO PETS. That got me to wondering; with as much drama as is going on in our world, how long before my dentist gets in trouble for hisContinue reading “NO PETS”
Breaking In
One Sunday, I’m hanging out with *fam-ends. As the day wounds down, I run to my house to take fresh dry laundry off the line and care for Chico, my little dog. I finish my tasks and head back out. In typical me fashion, I have my hands full. I stuck the key in theContinue reading “Breaking In”
Heads Up
The first thing I do when I get home is to take my dog to the bathroom. As we head out, walking down the driveway to the yard; a vehicle is driving past. Out of the corner of my eye, I see this black object flying straight toward me. The projectile wizzed by me. YeahContinue reading “Heads Up”
New Earth
2,030 marked the first human mission to Mars. Scientists were on this trip; people who were in charge of setting up the first ever base camp. Ground Y had already launched two BFS’s (Big Florida Spaceships) to Mars, full of cargo for the base camp. Earth held its collective breath as the big crafts landedContinue reading “New Earth”
Prospective
Have you ever wondered what others think about you? Today, I’m wondering this. If you look at me, my right ear is crimson. Frequently, I rub my ear and scalp. My work environment is very subdued. There’s very little noise or wild gesturing. I know my behavior is suspicious. Does she have head/body lice, earContinue reading “Prospective”
