I feel the desert winds blow across my face as I scan the sea of dunes. The sun overhead has risen to its zenith, and the land burns under its glare. I subtly adjust my hood to give my face more protection in the shadows. I turn away from the railing and look across the deck once more. This ship, the Golden Wind, has been my home for the last six years. I f...
I watched as the sun peaked it's brilliant orange head up over the horizon. I marveled at the colors of the sky, all the reds, purples, and blues indicating the dawning of a new day. I hadn't been able to sleep in days, and the only thing that had kept me going was to watch the sunrise as I sat on my front porch, a cup of coffee in hand, and a notebook on...
You wake up, your eyes only half open as you look to your alarm clock beeping next to your bed. It's time to get up and ready for the big day ahead of you. Today is the first day of high school for you, a nineteen year old male, in this new town. "What am I going to do?" you think. Moving into a new town meant that you had no friends, no connection...

This is the serenade of lunacy. I'd like to welcome all guests, hope you will all be comfortable for the trip. When I was a kid in Tidioute we had a circus come to town. It was one of those old circuses, with the sexy 14 year old trapeze girls and battered elephants too dumb with beatings to mind the crowd much. There was a vacant lot in the center of town,...
I don't tell these stories because I'm proud of them. I only tell you these stories because I find them amusing, and maybe you will too. Moving to my small town could very well have been the worse move I've ever made in my life. Living amongst the Stepford Wives and mini vans isn't really my cup of tea. The only tea I like happens to be Long Island Iced Te...
Abby sat in the crowded bar quite literally crying into her beer. Well her white wine to be more specific. Her third glass for a woman that only drank one socially. After five years, five long years in a relationship with Stuart it was over. Just like that. Over because he wanted to be polyamorous, he said. In plain Texan, he wanted to screw her and the woma...
It's a cold, dark, blustery night in January as we're driving back to our house in the country. The road is snow covered and the headlights bounce off a torrent of snowflakes. Suddenly, I notice the car start to slide on a patch of ice. I turn the car the other way but it's too late; the car slides into the ditch on the side of the road. "Well what are we g...
All of Jack's close family were gathered around him at the reception following his graduation from college. It had taken him five years but he graduated with a double major, taking degrees in Landscape Architecture and Business Management. During his college days he also managed to obtain a Master Gardener's certificate. His father shook his hand then said,...
I. Pierce, Maine is close to the shore but not on it. It's close to the highway too, but not on it. Pierce, Maine is close to the resorts but is not one of them. This is the way the five hundred twenty-one residents like it too. On this July morning Tillie Harding walked down the main street of Pierce just as she had every morning. Tillie graduated from Pie...
