My Brightest Smile

I swam in open water, my customary fear of drowning left somewhere in the hot sand. My thoughts turned still and, at ease with myself, I threw my...

Epit, Part Four: Finale

The door swung open with a bang and the man in the blue mask re-entered the room. The bang was loud and woke Aleks. “Are you almost ready?” Said the...

Phoenix Rising

I tried to create and stick to a very specific structure. If you can see the pattern, I served my purpose.

My Crucifixion

I took great care to craft a series of couplets, all in the same rhyme. Each line contains 8 syllables. I was going to make the poem 8 lines, but I felt the last two lines were necessary.

Abdiel

This is a short story that opens a small window into the life of a boy and his father who come from a long line of clergy. It contains alot of elements that affected my childhood, and I think I might use it later as a springboard for a novel.

The 21st

A story of two young lovers, based on one of my own experiences. I changed some names and details for the purpose of writing, but the basis of the plot, the descriptions of the people involved, and most of the sex scene are written from true events. Darren is a former drug dealer, the term is used generically because he sold whatever he got his hands on, not just a specific substance. He met Melody at a trap house, during a time that most of what he sold was methamphetamine. He was so strung out that he failed to get her info. He saw her again when he was arrested around 10 months later, and again was unable to get her info. He finally got her number when he saw her at court, and proceeded to ask her on a date. The night that followed was the most passionate night of his life, to date. I won't confirm or deny that Darren is based on myself, for obvious reasons.
