The Wind and the “Epistle” (revisit a Six Sentence Story for this Halloween Week)
And another revisit of something for the season this last week of Halloween. ////////////////////////////////////////// February 21, 2025 Earlier in the week I came across someone new to me through Sadje, a friend at dVerse Poets.

Exit 21B (another poem revisit for the Halloween season)
Thought I’d spend this final week of the Halloween season revisiting some things of mine that seem to fit the mood. When I first moved here to Schenectady, New York, a year ago August, moved in with my Sis and Nephews and some bonus cats, I was still doing a commute a couple of days… Continue reading

Third Eye Harvest Moon (poem revisit for the season)
Another re-post of something for this creepy season. ////////////////////////////////////////// October 2, 2024 In response to Merril’s “Haunted Harvest” prompt at dVerse poets. “You can take the themes of harvest or haunted literally or use them metaphorically in any way you wish.

Angel of Death: End Of Days, Route 9, Poughkeepsie??? (audio post revisit for the season)
Earlier this week I posted “Headstone” a fantastic video short voiced and built by a good friend and co-worker based on a flash fiction piece of mine, something for this spooky season, one that involves a graveyard’s groundskeeper coming across Death weeping at a long forgotten gravestone. Well, that is not the only story I’ve… Continue reading

Headstone (a gothic flash fiction video short by Stephen Murray & Frankenberry)
Was talking a little while ago with good friend and co-worker, Steve, about this current spooky season, a one still more “on the way” then when we spoke and he mentioned that he wanted to build something for it, a dramatic piece of some sort, a video short, with a haunting story as well as… Continue reading

Mr Spidey Pants (post post)
So a number of nights ago I noticed, as I sat at my desk workin’ stuff in my basement Attic, that I had some company scurrying next to my lamp and possibly sizing up whether he could lift and then beat me to death with it. Now, possible ill intentions aside, I left him to… Continue reading

Gonna Wanna Rule Somebody (song redux)
Been a while on this one and, truthfully, I just like having a tune to turn to in the midst of monumental stupid when I am headphoning for escape. Going back to my original post, May of 2024 and to Bob Dylan’s “Gotta Serve Somebody” … Gonna Wanna Rule Somebody You may be a wished… Continue reading

Cricket the Cat Poet: Stepping In Tongues And Boo Moons / Boo Blood Moon (poems)
So the latest in the way of a Quadrille prompt at dVerse Poets is this one that asks for your 44 worder, this time around to include the word “Boo”, a something for a “pre-Halloween hullabaloo”. Now let me explain what follows. As I was working on the beginnings of this with an eventual thought… Continue reading

Headstone & The Walk (short fictions)
Well, with it being that time of year for these types of stories I thought to revisit a short bit from last year, one I have posted before in a couple of spots and one that started with a dVerse Poets “prosery” prompt from June of 2024 and also to liberally revise the second part… Continue reading

It’s a Frankenberry Monster Cereal Family Time … Again … Again … So Matt … (post post)
Note: revisiting this one from last year, my first Fall here in my role as the Brother Uncle Troll under the stairs, one who doesn’t eat cats by the way (sorry, I know that’s kind of random) as some tails might go, but looks to them, instead, as friends and for emotional support and as… Continue reading
