The Kitchen Sink

Posted on September 23rd, 2012

“Oh, I understand; I understand completely.  You are an idiot.” “What are you talking—” I started as my hands, that had been scrubbing the supper dishes harder than necessary, stilled in the cooling water of the kitchen sink. “I’m talking about you and your screwed up ideas; and everything else that comes out of your [...]

The Market

Posted on September 11th, 2012

Take a moment to just stand there. Close your eyes and savour the moment. Take a deep breath. Your mouth waters at the smells. Cinnamon and nutmeg; roasting chestnuts and bratwürst; incense and licorice. The crowd swirls around you – laughing, chatting in several different languages, bustling to get their shopping done. The night air [...]

His

Posted on June 20th, 2012

He woke from slumber, angry that he’d drifted off.  He hadn’t meant to fall asleep.  He’d wanted to spend the night watching her sleep in his arms.  He’d wanted to watch her sleep while he thought back on their invigorating night; earlier in the day.  He wanted to remember every moment he’d spent with her, [...]

Musical Spectacle

Posted on May 22nd, 2012

In the beginning, it seemed so perfect: fresh, fun, full of wonder; a new song that gets stuck in your head that you don’t want to leave.  You hope – you know – will always be like this, after all how could something so good end? Then one day you notice that something’s… off – [...]

Not Forgotten

Posted on March 18th, 2012

It all started the day the first apple trees blossomed.  Almost sixty years ago to the day.  I had not even realized it had been so long, or that today was the anniversary.  So many years had gone by since that day; so many apple trees had blossomed since then.  I wonder if I ever [...]

X-Files / Buffy Mashup

Posted on January 23rd, 2012

The petite red head’s eyebrow arched almost all the way to her hairline.  “Excuse me?” Her blond companion huffed and rolled her eyes before repeating herself.  “I’m Buffy.  The Vampire Slayer.”  She waited expectantly but FBI Special Agent Dana Scully still seemed just as clueless as she had when they’d met each other in the [...]

No Escape

Posted on December 4th, 2011

My hands wrap around his throat as he struggles. This isn’t what I’m supposed to be here for. I volunteered for service so I could use my hands to save people. Now I’m using them for a more sinister purpose. They squeeze life out of him. I see in his eyes the moment he realizes [...]

Freedom

Posted on November 17th, 2011

I should be writing my NaNoWriMo story and not working on this blog post.  I’ve written exactly 500 words in the last week.  That is, until now.  I used Velvet’s prompt to get out another 500 words just now… which I’ve of course had to cut to 100 so forgive me if it’s a bit [...]

Quiet

Posted on October 23rd, 2011

Been away a month.  My bad!  Some weeks I was swamped.  Others, I didn’t know what to write.  But here we go! Quiet.  Must keep quiet.  Don’t make a sound.  Don’t breathe. Hidden.  Must stay hidden.  Stick to the shadows.  Don’t move. Home.  Think of home.  Family, friends, food, fun.  Return soon. Listen.  Must listen [...]

Occupied

Posted on September 24th, 2011

You grin as if you’re keeping the most delicious secret.  You kinda are.  From the moment he rescued you from that line, he’s occupied your every thought.  His intense blue eyes make you feel you’re the only thing on the planet; neither of you seemed to be able to look away. You were his, whether [...]
