    A Special BrewNat awoke feeling the chill.  After a warm September, he had yet to begin to heat his apartment, but now there was a coolness in the air and a definite harbinger of the coming winter.  In mid-October, fall had definitely arrived—not only on the calendar, but also in Nat’s aching muscles.  After arising and getting his morning shower he descended to the street and heard the sound of rakes and even, at an early hour, the smell of burning leaves.  He felt invigorated by the seasonal change, the crisp air filling his nostrils with the sense of fall leaving the bother of a torrid summ...ge2one door

    Stuck in the Middle with You

    Stuck in the Middle with YouThunder rumbled among the dark clouds that made the daytime sky look like night, and then a streak of lightning tore through the clouds splitting them apart, jagged, like the shell of a cracked egg.
