I Remember Judy - Part Three

Moving Forward When we left McDonald’s, Judy and I agreed to try to ‘get together’ as soon as we could. It wasn’t as easy as you might think.

I Remember Judy - Two

“We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is... Sign in to see full entry.

The Barber

This is from my "A Knock On The Door" Vella project. This story is a classic example of my conscious mind thinking one thing, and my subconscious mind and fingers doing something else. My original intent was to write a dark and scary story, but without realizing it, it became a love story. Yes, it... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate My Mother - And What Did I Learn? (Finale)

And What Did I Learn? You can’t write the things I’ve written in this story without having memories, nightmares, and a better understanding of the good and bad things you’ve done with your life.

I Hate My Mother - October 19th, 2015

October 19th, 2015 That Monday morning, I was on my way to my cardiac doctor for another exam.
