Joey couldn't wait to close up. He called his girlfriend when no one visited the store for the last fifteen minutes. He assured her that he would make it to her apartment in time for some special moments together. As soon as he hung up, Joey stood still and waited at the front counter. The store remained empty. Everything had grown silent. The hectic work ho...
Revised version copyright 2006 by the author. "Glenn, why do you want to do this?" Jon Evans asked. We were in his spacious office in the main administration building. After almost three decades at Steelman College, ten years of it as Provost, Jon's hair had turned silver from its original dark brown. His eyes, though, were still that color, bright and sl...
After that abortive trip to the lake the semester went on. I was glad when things got busy the way they always did toward the end, as it left me little time to think about Drew and whatever relationship we had, which wasn't much. When I saw him around our building he was pleasant, but remote. He stopped coming by to my office to chat, even after class hours...

The forest was losing its leaves as autumn headed inexorably to winter. Over to his left, obscured temporarily, were the mountain ranges. As beautiful as they were, they were not...
Groton had wanted to get off by 9:30 the next morning, avoiding the worst of the earlier morning rush hours around the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., beltways, but it was closer to 10:30 before the two vehicles got packed with luggage and photographic equipment and nosed into the I-95 traffic south toward Washington. In addition to Groton, Spike, and Rick,...
