The LSA

And that's when I said 'get me out of here!'" Josh said with a big grin on his face, his hands out splayed over the dinner table. The whole room laughed, and yet it felt so quite, as if somebody had taken a pillow and snuffed out the energy of the room. "Oh Josh, you … Continue reading The LSA →

Sad Sack of Flesh

Dana used to love the smell of coffee shops. The way the aroma of the freshly grounded beans just filled the air was like a cozy blanket by the fire to her.

Also, it's a poem, I never write poems. … Continue reading Bitter Black Beans →

The Horns of Lochrane

Friday prompt, courteously of the I Am a Writer FB group. https://imgur.com/a/53gyUY8 "What is that wretched sound?" Albert asked. They were strolling through the Central Gardens of Lochrane on a temperate and calm fall day, known to be quite rare during this time of the year when the region was plummeted with "wind storms so … Continue reading The Horns of Lochrane →

Jack and the Girl

This was originally written as a 7-minute audiodrama for a class I took in script writing earlier this summer. I liked it so much that I decided to adapt to prose. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it. The trees rustled in the brisk breeze that rolled through the park, … Continue reading Jack and the Girl →

The Last Voyage of the Sea King
