Hands on the Elephant - Part One... With Intro

The idea for this story - (and I have now crossed into novel length when I hit 45,000+ words,) came to me when I heard three people vehemently arguing over a silly subject... and they were ALL wrong!), and the old story about five blind men came to mind. They were given a chance to touch an... Sign in to see full entry.

Different Hands On The Elephant

This story has nothing to do with elephants, but I remembered something my father told me about 'point of view." What you see depends on what you have seen to make a decision. I've gone 'Stephen King" in how the segments were written. Some are very long, and some are almost short enough to stand... Sign in to see full entry.

Memories, Pressed Between the Pages of My Mind...

I read (and re-read) this segment... and it really hit me hard. It brought back a lot of memories that were both good and bad... but that's how life goes.
