  • A Day in the Park

    This unexpected day has come. Time froze. I was just thinking about where shall I have my dinner as I stroll on this craquelure of a concrete park’s floor, peppered with the orange crisp leaves of the afternoon autumn when a woman … a woman who felt so familiar grabbed me by the shoulders.

    Vengeance Served Cold

    VENGEANCE SERVED COLD  " Am I not Bar-Tigar, lord of all lands I roam?"   He looked down at the pulsing red jets that spurted from the throat of the boar.   " I honor you by taking your flesh and freeing your spirit, continuing the circle."   He lapped at his still twitching prey, curved hooks pointing towards his throat, called papillae, coated his tongue, ripping off layers of hide and flesh with each pass. The tender pork exposed was a delicacy he could not resist.
