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

A lot has changed between the first draft and the second so I recommend reading this one if you've already read the first edition. Enjoy!

The pups roamed the backyard, their noses pointed directly towards the ground in search any new and novel smells from creatures that had passed through the yard earlier that morning.

I hadn't recognized the number, some 777 area code that I … Continue reading Wrong Number
