She lay in the bed an arms length from him. Even in her incomprehensible stillness, when Eron looked at her, the beats of his heart skipped when he gazed upon her beauty. Though he could barely see the rise and fall of her chest, and though her skin was a deathly shade of pale, the […]
Eron’s Desire
Eron strolled across the sun-warmed cobblestones. The noonday sun warmed the roofs of the nearby houses. It warmed the wooden slats covering the sporadic stalls offering knick-knacks and frivolities that he passed during his casual walk. It gave heat to the signpost that he touched at the intersection of two major streets. It felt good, […]
The Seven Ton Shade
Many years ago, I had a horrible, but unforgettable experience. It was mid-afternoon, and I was visiting my parents at their home. A wave of weariness overcame me and I begged leave of them for a short nap. Being the kind and wonderful folks that they are, they urged me to use the rear guest […]

Broken Mirror
Before we were able to see ourselves via the photograph…… To view oneself, there were two clear parts in the act of looking in the mirror. One, quite simply, is the lookers decision to gaze into the glass, and for that person to place themselves in front of the reflective panel. The second part, is […]
