Fiction Friday – If Walls Could Talk – Tree House

The smaller kids got a few bigger kids from the neighborhood to help wedge some two by fours against my underside and the tree. I wasn’t very secure but the kids were having a great time putting me together. Continue reading

4. Tell us about the most exciting place you have ever visited?

I know this is going to sound a tad lame but I would say Sea World. Hubby, the kids and I stayed at Sea World Resort which backed onto the park and we could visit as many times as we liked. We paid for a close up encounter where first thing in the morning before the park opened we could feed and pat the sea lions, experience the shark tour which I declined the dive and feed option to the dismay of my husband. And then we got to the best one- the dolphins where we fed and got them to do some tricks and things. It was fantastic! We want to go back. Continue reading

Fiction Friday – If Walls Could Talk – Bird House

He should have picked another kind of bird to study. Maybe crows who lived behind fast food places so they could gather a nonstop supply of fries would have been a good choice. I wonder if someone has studied the rate of heart attacks on city crows? If I could talk, I’d tell the kid to give it a go. Do crows nest in birdhouses? Look at me! A crow can’t fit in here. Never mind. Continue reading

From The Wrong Way Down -

I saw his body lying there. My teacher, my mentor, my friend – face down in a pool of his own blood. His white robes were starched brown with dried blood, his throat cut open by the thieves who’d stolen the spiritual artifact we’d been entrusted to protect. Continue reading

2. Where did the idea for the work you are promoting arise? I was playing around with different ideas of infections, and possessions. Debating trying something zombie-like but not really wanting to go that route. So I decided a possession by something beautiful would be more fun. Continue reading

Meth House Woes

- I sit here in dingy aloneness. The electricity, water, and heat are off. My windows are blank. Everything left behind after the bust and search are still here. The food has gone over and I sit in a state of depression and I hope or wish they’d just plow me over and put me out of my lonely misery. Continue reading
