The Thrill Of The Dare To Do
I stopped outside the door. I struggled with myself--a mighty struggle. I'm sure it showed on my face and in my demeanor that there was within me an upheaval of emotion so strong that it was tearing me in two. My fears struggled against my logic. My desires fought off my pessimism. My intimate needs...

I Don't Go To The River
his story continued - "Big Muddy" "Dark River" "Mighty Mo" "Wide Missouri".... The river winds its way, twisting and turning, dividing one state from another, cutting the city into North and South.

Waterbug Quarters
His Story - Continued I realize that I'm not painting a very attractive self-portrait. In fact, I don't even like myself. How could anyone else want my company.

Someone Lies Outside - His Story

Now That I've Changed The Name.......
For the few of you who were trying to keep up with the beginning of my writing of a novel, I've probably lost you completely.

Someone Lies Outside
Without Introduction Part 1 He came into my life suddenly and left in the same way. I know from whence he came, and why, because he told me. Where he has gone, I will probably never know, because that’s the way he wants it. I almost made a difference in his life before he retrogressed into oblivion....
