Jackie & Ken - Part Six

Coffee, Eggs, and Everything Left Unsaid The bell over the cafe door jingled just like it always did, but it might as well have been a trumpet for how loud it felt in Ken’s ears.

Jackie & Ken - Part Five

No More Holding Back The sun wasn’t even fully up yet, but the sky was already streaked with pink and gold when Ken pulled into Jackie’s driveway the next morning. He hadn’t slept much.

Jackie & Ken - Part Four

CHAPTER FOUR–Sparks Under the Surface The following afternoon rolled in with a warm June breeze and just enough humidity to make a cold drink feel like salvation.

Jackie & Ken - Part Three

CHAPTER THREE—The Fuse That Started It All The fuse box groaned when Ken opened it, like it knew what kind of day it was going to be. He crouched down low, flashlight balanced between his neck and shoulder, tracing old wires that looked like they’d been slapped together in the ‘70s and dared to hold... Sign in to see full entry.

Jackie & Ken - Part Two

Ken’s First Quiet Morning Kenneth Stephens wasn’t a morning person by nature, but he’d learned how to fake it over the years. He stood at the kitchen sink in his big, light-blue-trimmed kitchen, holding a chipped ceramic mug that said “Best Dad Ever.” It was a thrift store find he kept for the irony...

V Jackie’s Quiet Restlessness Jackie Bennett stirred the ice in her glass with a silver spoon, watching it clink against the sides as if it might reveal something or someone new to her. It...

Conversations With A Space Alien - Final Chapter

Home Again, Forever Changed The following morning, I awoke before dawn, drawn by an uneasy stillness. The farm lay shrouded in mist, dew glinting like scattered jewels.

Conversations With A Space Alien - Part Eighteen

Echoes Beyond the Farm The summer of discovery became a tapestry woven through the rest of my life. I learned to see things beyond what my eyes showed my brain.
