For the first few years, you did not know anything about anything at all. You lay in darkness, pressed in from all ides. Beneath the cold ground, you were entombed. You did not think, you did not feel. It was as if you did not exist at all. All but for one tiny, glimmering star. A pinprick of light that had once been a burning nova. It resisted the darkness,...
Please vote. Please give me the support of your vote. * A devoted husband, 68-year-old Walter, an older man, found love again with 39-year-old Susan, a much younger woman, after his beloved Mary died.

I faced death before. Back in 1991, after the departure of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, I was six years old. Haiti was fighting a brutal civil war. It has left the Haitians broken causing the nation to become one of the most corrupted and poorest nation on earth. During the war I saw men killing women, I saw men killing men, I saw women killing...
0 - 0 - 0 - 0:28 - Hank "Some people are winners and some are losers. That's just the way that it is," Hank thought as he stacked the last of the scaffolding into the back of the truck. "Best to always take action to make sure you are the winner." He added another fabricated fuel log to the trucks burner and tightened the steam valve on the piston compartme...
I thought I'd try entering a story in the 'Halloween story contest.' I hope you enjoy my little horror story. I don't usually ask for votes but I guess I need them to be considered in the contest. * My wife Chris and I, were holding hands and slowly walking through the cemetery. It was Halloween Eve, just before nightfall. We meet with a number of our frie...
Tiaret looked at Aedinius. Then she looked at Jareth. Then she looked at the man holding a sword into her neck. Not knowing what to feel or how to react, she fainted dead away, the large man that was pinning her to the wall catching her before she could hit the floor. The sword tip at her throat nicked her as she fell, a trickle of blood sliding down her t...
"The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and the other begins?" -Edgar Allan Poe, "The Premature Burial" *** Wallace dreaded nothing more than being alone in the dark, here of all places. Clarence had the lantern, and although he was an old man he was faster, so Wallace had to run to kee...
Background First, I should tell you that Jeff and I are not actually married. We are together and committed to each other. We just haven't felt the need to do all the legal pomp and ceremony stuff. Maybe it is because we don't have a 'traditional' relationship that we have talked about trying some edgier things. Mostly our talk had been about Jeff watching...
Normally, I never let my dogs loose in the city. On this late winter afternoon however, as I shifted the bag of groceries I was carrying, they somehow managed to wiggle from my grasp, tearing off, side by side with leashes trailing. They were two little fugitives running free. Feeling foolish, I sped after them calling their names, "SEPTEMBER SNOW! SCRA...
There was something to be said for old tombstones. Sally ran her hand across the face of one dated in 1842 as she admired its carvings. They were always well built. If you compared today's markers to those of that time period you'd find that today's tombstones were dull and useless. These markers depicted nothing about the individual laying six feet under th...
