Disclaimer: I have tried to make sure my historical information is correct and I’d like to think I haven’t offended any Native Americans peoples with the telling of this tale. I am 1/8th Cherokee and am proud of that heritage. I’m not trying to show any Native Americans in a bad light… that is not my intention. Author’s Note: The English-Cheyenne word trans...
(The Dark Night of the Soul) "Upon a darkened night The flame of love was burning in my breast And by a lantern bright I fled my house while all in quiet rest" She had lain awake all night, restlessly tossing on her straw pallet, watching the gilded moon rise slowly in the window. She heard the shallow breath of her sisters deep in sleep beside her. She tho...
Welcome to Chapter 2. Thank you all for the wonderful feedback. In this chapter, I'm setting the story a bit more. Again, I would appreciate your reviews/comments/suggestions. ***** I woke up the next morning with a splitting head ache and really dry mouth. "What did I do last night?"

Thursday morning Jeff woke up not remembering anything about what he had done in the bathroom. The only thing he remembered was dreaming that Sally accused him of trying to have anal sex with her.

Kyle looked over to see Eliza asleep on his shoulder and Joe passed out in front of him. They had survived the night. The sun was just starting to rise and the shadows of the night were retreating back to where the...
Our basketball team had made the State Championship. My best friend Geoffrey and I were heading down to Tech where the tournament was being held. We figured we'd get there and rent a cheap motel room. The night before we were leaving I got a call from Carla, an old girlfriend of mine. Her sister lived in a house just off campus, and was going to be out of to...
© 2014 by Thrillerauthor * That night was like something out of a horror movie - the most horrendous experience of my life, and that includes Gregg's attempt to murder me. It began with the cops whisking me out of Morton's through the kitchen door, so I didn't even have a chance to tell Ron what was happening. I was worried sick about what he must be thin...
Was it really her? I cannot believe who she was. Even after those years, I never expected to see that "mom" when I introduced myself to my soon to be fiance's mother. Wednesday It was a Wednesday night and I was 18 years old. I worked at a local Italian / pizza place that delivered. I had been on the job for 17 months and it was a good place to work. I w...

Just imagine that you have lived your entire life thinking basic, fundamental thoughts and then all of sudden, out of a clear blue, you are blinded, and completely overwhelmed by a mind-paralyzing image. That is the reality that Walter M...
