  • Zero’s … A Big Birthday’s As Some Might Say

    They have this habit of popping up every ten years or so, these zero’s, you could say that they add up but do they really? They are just zero’s right, only with a new number in front of them? I mean sure, that new number in front of them is an incremental thing, I can… Continue reading

  • That Bella Look (a cat story)

    Ok, zoom in … Now Bella gives me this look quite often, that Bella “look”. It’s what she does.

  • Headstone (flash fiction)

    Another prosery challenge at dVerse Poets. Their prosery? A very short piece of poetry or flash fiction that tells a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. It can be any genre you choose, but it does have a limit of 144 words. Somewhere within your story, you must include given lines without… Continue reading

  • Pumping Gas In Antioch

    There are many things that can bring us together, when things are rough in the world, seem out of hand, things we may share, things that can put us on page with a complete stranger A favorite sports team maybe, in a parking lot before a game through the haze of grill smoke and beer… Continue reading
