Flicker
The orange light danced through her mind, taunting her as she tossed and turned in bed. She always had nightmares but these ones were unbearable. Walking out of her room, she opened her parents door. She silently climbed into bed with them and slept soundly, knowing that she was now safe.At the delicate age of five and a half, her brother was killed in those orange flames everyone calls fire. She called it a plague. It spread through one area, taking people's lives as it went past, not caring one bit. Ever since the incident, she was deathly afraid of fire. Anything to do with fire she ha...
A Window Between Worlds
The library had been closed for a while.The window at the back still does not lock properly. Even after all these years, it was never fixed. Can you believe that, Anne?

I fr...
Got to Get Rid of That Guilt
Today –– this morning, I absolutely hate New York City. While last night, I can definitely say I love this city. With my new girl, Meredith, we saw Hadestown and had a pre-dinner at an Italian place named Bucca de Bippo. There is nothing like a good meal and a good Broadway play to make me a happy hillbilly. Whether, it’s paid for or not, doing this with arm candy is an extra perk in my profession. I’ve lived here twenty plus years and there is nothing that surprises me. This morning, I witnessed a Black man pull a straw from his knap sack and vigorously dig a Pepsi can fr...
