You see, it's like this, and that's all. Dusk and twilight are cousins who touch fingers over evening. The time between them is voluptuous and welcoming like a cradle, the hammock between two poles of illumination. We can do anything in that time, without analyzing the why of it- for the world feels like a warm pearl in our palm. Evening rolls dulcet betw...
Jamie sat with Dillon in the sheriff’s office, waiting as patiently as he could manage while Brandon chugged down a gallon of coffee. When he realized they were both watching him, Brandon looked up with an apologetic grin. “Sorry about that. I was up all night trying to wrap up this case.” “I know. Nate called me.” Dillon gave Jamie a hesitant glance befor...

I'd gone to the kitchen in Jay's apartment to get myself a sparkling water from the fridge—we couldn't drink what we'd really like to drink during the performance season—when his doorbell rang, and he let his landlord in. I just stayed out of sight in the kitchen, because I knew this was going to be unpleasant and I didn't want the landlord, who I'd heard wa...
Thursday night Robert knocked on my door and asked, "Are you ready for Monday morning?" "What do you think? I'm starting my senior year at a new school. I don't know anyone. Not much to look forward to." I stopped myself, took a deep breath, and then sheepishly looked at Robert. "I'm sorry. I know I'm being a jerk, I don't really mean to be. I plan on going...
There is an old saying, this ain't the middle of nowhere but you can see it from here. If it applies to any place it applies to this town. But a job is a job so I moved here. It's not really a small town, there are over 50,000 people, but it has the feel of a small conservative town. The principal at my new school starts every faculty meeting with a prayer,...
