    “Here worm, here wormy worm,” my son Peter coaxed the glow worm from its crevice in the cave. After only 10 minutes in the cave, his jeans were already caked in mud and his hands were an unidentifiable greenish brown color. His iPad and books lay abandoned in their moisture proof bag. “The mud will wash out,” I told myself. Even if it didn’t, a pair of jeans was a small price to pay for our safety today.  I opened my phone and searched for “mosquito release.”  I found an article updated a few hours earlier, but it merely detailed the releases over the past thirty years.  I didn’t take time to ...lBSone door

    Prufrock's New Love Song

    THE CLOCK continued to tick down the hall. It seemed to be the only sound left in the house… in the streets…throughout the town.            The last sound in the world.She shook her head vigorously as if to dislodge that last thought.            No, no. Don’t think like that. But although she tried to have hope in the fact that someone must still be alive, it dwindled. Often. All electricity had officially been shut off.
