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

your writing is great, easy to read, yet full of depth and detail. You really set the mood and deliver the story in not just an informative, but quite an entertaining way

Billies is about to fall down a rabbit hole it seems

Poor Danielle ,that slamming sound her body flung on the alter, the gates of Hell snapping shut, don't know, except its not good. 

Another thrilling piece so atmospheric, chilling, inevitable miserable.

Great Read loved it Ray

Another Excellent Chapter

Posted on Tue, 03 Sep 2024

Beautifully written, compelling universal premise, as well as existentially demanding , what are we, how are we. 

Greif can drive people to places unknown. Loss and the certainty of it is a horror unto itself.

Wonderful piece...
