Rainbow Fish
The bellowing of the creature outside my window wakes me from the pale faces of my dreams. My eyes slide open slowly to a lightening sky, the water around my head swirling silently. The bellow sounds louder now, dragging me to the window across my clothes littered floor. My curtains drift away from my fingertips as I swirl them through the water. There's a blue whale swimming between the apartment buildings, her powerful tail arching up and down smoothly and elegantly. Following her closely is a single calf, his movements sporadic and hyper as he swims around and around his mother's body. I ...
It’s Alright, We’ll Wait
“It’s mine, and you can’t have it!” Isidora’s father said. “Mr. Savas, I’m not asking for myself, I’m asking for your daughter.”Savas pushed himself up in bed and motioned me to come closer.

What business have you got in Devil’s Canyon?” Mackie said in a squeaky voice. Jacob Hawley leaned across the counter and whispered into Mack...
I Am No King
In the dim gray before dawn, I and mine are kept awake and restless by the bustle and hurry of workmen all around us. They shout to each other, grunting and groaning as thewww.onedoor.ccy strain against ropes like horses. The skeleton of the great tent is rising at their hands. Small stars of lantern lights bob.

Light is spreading in the sky. The sun will soon rise. As darkness disperses, the men work faster. They must drape the ske...
