Fiction, and other made-up stories
Just something I’m working on. It’s done and is much longer than this. Longer short story. Happy Halloween everyone! __________________________________________________________________________ It’s not like he didn’t love her, he loved her many times in the days after they were married. He loved her on the picnic table and at the drive-in. He loved her on the […]
Here’s my list of short story names for recent pieces I’ve written. I’m not the best at names, but here you go: Titan Arum The Hum Revolution Road On Birthdays Lyla Khewa Creation Myth V2.0 There we have it. General descriptions of each are in my last post. I’m doing final polishing today, in and […]
I do have work in progress. I feel like I have a lot. Today, I edited seven short stories down to some reasonable length. They are about: a couple that has lost three babies the corpse flower that blooms every twelve years a poor kid who decides to stream the revolution a brand new creation […]
I would like to start by saying that I am not drunk. I actually went to sleep, and woke up at 2 am. Now it’s 3:30 AM. Nothing is bugging me. Nothing is stressing me. I have a great life. Great family, a job that is demanding but also important. Great friends. I have money, […]

I don’t have to come back. This morning, she smoked her first cigarette. It’s her last, too. As the teacher talks […]
