Curtis Ray Jones's picture
Curtis Ray Jones

I'm a 73-year-old retired factory husband, father of two, grandfather of one. I am an amateur Sci-Fi Fantasy writer and write little poetry too, none of it published, I don't count Publish America, which 'published' my current project, Banished To Earth, in 2004. My only formal education is a creative writing class I had way back in 1970, so I'm kind of out of my depth on this site, but I'm trying to keep up. Love sharing my stuff. Thanks for the opportunity to do so. Ray

Irony, the very place and victims that was supposed to feed her, add more stolen time to her horrid miserable existence became her Waterloo, her ultimate undoing- just and brutal and deeply satisfying. Is this end or is there an epilogue, guess...

Heart pounding chase

Desperate to get away, all the while being funneling onto a killing floor it seems, good stuff. Death looming over our little hero, surely this is not the end, maybe a slight chance, a little peek, a bit of forbidden knowledge leaking out giving...

grim but well written

My Aunt developed severe mental problems as she aged. She was a brilliant student, but her inner wiring went, well, haywire years before she died,  which was odd since my father never learned to read and apparently experienced some of the same...

Clever

You got me. Great twist. Addison needed for a moment to reach out from her mezzanine existence to help another embrace and appreciate her life. Sweet ghost story not too many of them, wonderful read Ray

Another

Another well-written piece, your attention to detail is remarkable and instructive, I'm thinking Jenny is about to bump into something that might bump back or nudge her toward some truth about her self and her troubled homelife

Great read...
