I Hate My Mother - Part Three - C (878 words)

I never knew it for years after I left home, but there was a reason my mother was like she was for a reason. I was visiting one of my paternal uncles, and I was relating my last encounter with my mother when he pulled me aside and told me what had happened eight years before I was born. It was the...

I Hate My Mother - Part Three - B (806 Words)

I looked at her and pointed to the small print, and said, “If you look right here, it tells you the answers to the questions.” I saw a puzzled look cross her face, and I told her again. “The print is awfully small, but if I get close to it, I can read what it says.” She asked me to pick up my paper...

I Hate My Mother - Part Three - A (With An Update)

Christmas 1956 Before I get too far into this chapter, we need to talk again. I was three years and five months old on Christmas that year.

I Hate My Mother - Part Two C - (930 Words - A Bit Longer)

I scanned her again. The scar on her right forearm was where she had reached across an old-fashioned wringer-washing machine and had accidentally tripped the lock, causing it to spring up so hard, it snapped her arm, and her ulna, the smaller of the two bones in the lower arm had broken through the...

I Hate My Mother - Part Two B (806 words)

I get along with the vast majority of my extended family, but these two women weren’t in that group. Most of my family members were down-to-earth types, but these two always seemed to think they were walking several inches above you. When you were swimming, they were walking on the water. You get...

I Hate My Mother - Part Two A

***I'm splitting some of these longer chapters at logical cut-off spots to keep the word count from getting over 700 words. V *********** A Chance Meeting I can’t rightfully tell you the exact date I met my mother face-to-face for the first time in years, but I think it was in the spring of 2015. It...

I Hate My Mother - In The Beginning

I Hate My Mother By Verwayne Greenhoe Just Between Us It’s taken me a few months to start this story once I decided I wanted to write it. I opened a Word document, put the title on the page, saved it, and then I’ve done nothing but stare at it on my desktop for the last ten months. I’ve opened it... Sign in to see full entry.

House Hunting It took three days before Marcella could pull herself together enough to leave the hotel room to look at the houses Kale had scouted while she slept.

The Creaking House - Opening

The Creaking House Verwayne Greenhoe There are some secrets which do not permit themselves to be told. Men die nightly in their beds, wringing the hands of ghostly confessors, and looking them piteously in the eyes - die with despair of heart and convulsion of throat, on account of the hideousness...

I'm not sure if I have started to post my Vella project story, "The Creaking House" here or not, but I think I am going to start doing so. If I'm posting it here, it gives me a sense of urgency to keep posting to it at least four to five times a week. I had started "Creaking" and was about 3200... Sign in to see full entry.
