Star Crossed Love
Night blanketed the region. The sky was completely devoid of stars and blacks and violets - lights from the bustling city and now quiet suburbs bleached them in a orangey-pink. A few cars passed on their way to either point A or point B. The hour passed for pedestrians and landed on delivery hour. Those that were nocturnal scurried about in the trash cans or readying to return to their...

Summer Reprises Part Three: Summer Hath Fade - So...
Friend One continued (ignoring the fact that they are now locked in the amphitheatre), “And since I’m going to go on a whim and say you accept my apology and offer of friendship. You are without a doubt the most awesome, insightful, artistic, and vibrantly beautiful young woman I have come to know - reknow.” She began to blush a little as he was still on one knee, “And before some random,...

Summer Reprises: Part Two, Summer's Symphony
Friend one had just made it to the back of the stage when he stopped. Mostly because the stage, project, and entire competition disappeared from all around him and left him sitting in a chair out looking an empty audience - but also because he refused to abandon a friend. Way down down center stage stood what appeared to be a conductor clad in pristine white garb with a krystal...

Summer Reprises: Part One, Shattered Summer
Summer’s late afternoon settled over the landscape bringing a wave cool, refreshing air into the where a bouts of this conundrum. A tale of two friends sitting by a workstation to further their crafting of a krystal sculpture. Everything was going fine as the two laughed, lived, and lived some more - then in the evenings they would part in sharing salutations with families and return...

Chronicle 1 of the Scout Ministry Log
The silence was sickening. The entire crew had been sitting still without talking for the past hour. Running silent still wasn’t enough; the enemy was still aware of their presence. Sitting there mocking them like a child verbally abuses defeat. There was only one option left; they had to get out to contact fleet command. “Commander, only the one knows we are here. I suggest we...
Facing a Green Curved Wall, I must Turn
silence…pure silence… the heart begins to pound in the chest, silently echoing through the body. The feeling of immortality…no! Pre-death has consumed the body. Sweeping away at the feet. I walk freely towards it for no apparent reason…only God knows my actions reasoning. Vertigo, dizziness, consciousness. A blue canvas has been stretched in front of me. The painter...

Ice Breaker Waltz
The needle was lowered gently onto the rotating disc below - suspended, slowly, gracefully. The guests waited for the defining moment of contact. The moment in which the first strike is made producing that screeching noise only heard by such an archaic device of sound. The moment in which music begins flowing into the air pumping momentum and cadence into by standers and dancers. The will...

The Twilight at Sun Up
A twilight had risen through the town. Every lamp, house, and candle was lit in a feeble attempt to push out the deep blackness of night. The moon had hidden itself behind the horizon of thick evergreen trees hugging the edges of the town. The lodgings were boarded so as to not let even a single ant smuggle through a crawlspace. Rays of light poured out the sides of thick curtains, magnified...

The Play of Shadows
Black arced across the black - moving like a draping curtain deciding it wants the show tho go on. The stage clustered with the shadows of shadows and resonating to echoes and hidden, muffled sounds. And in one fell swoop, the curtain closed and opened again. Time demanded another show be played, but the stage remained thick with shadows spawned from oozing light. The audience desperate to...
