Homecoming
I walked down the dirt road, my eyes carefully checking the narrow alleys and avoiding the starving kids that would try to get some of my money. The bazaar had never been one of the better parts of Nueva Corinto, the ridiculous laws forbidding every...
Red Snow
I watched the sky in wonder. Blue, yellows and reds mixing together on the soft edges of the clouds. The sky littered with the gray forms from one end to the next. The emerging sun ,lazily rising from the horizon, it's warmth rays painting the...
Hard Headed
Another of my writing group's weekly prompts. This week's prompt was was "Write a detailed action scene with at least two characters, starting the action near the beginning, and finishing towards the end." I bitched about this one constantly as I...
Tusker
Sr. Amable had always been a good restaurant to have a nice dinner before bed, even after the death of Mr. Gonzalez, the old troll who had bough the place back in '59, there was still a homey feeling in the fake wooden tables and chairs. It was also...
An intresting offer
I had always had a thing for history, the moments in the far reaches of days long pass and times that were different then our own. The lives of men and women that made history and shaped the world as they saw fit. However, I learned quickly within the...

Home Sweet Home
Here it was. The house he'd traveled across the country to find. Marcus stared out the car window at it, unsure if he should be impressed or disappointed. Sure, he knew it was going to be less impressive than the needlessly opulent home he'd grown...
The One
This week's writing prompt was "And that's the moment when I knew he/she was the one." I had a lot of fun with this one! Let me know what you think. If you aren't aware of my writing group already, it can be found here:...
Elevator Ride
Well, here's last week's prompt for my group! Don't know about the group? It's just a writing group for hanging out, brainstorming, trading tips. Join if you want!...
A troll after my own heart
A dim light. That was all I had in these abandoned hallways. Relics of a time long past, but still holding strong to the present. These were no natural formed passages either, its angles were too sharp, the stone too smooth, and its constant...
