Although I was heavily involved in the sports side of school life, I had never had much input in other areas other than academic, it was therefore with some trepidation, that I agreed to assist the Head of Drama with the forthcoming Christmas production of 'Tommy, A Rock Opera'. I had taken drama lessons as part of the national curriculum, because I had to,...

The drive back to the restaurant was a slow, cautious one after the night in the snow bank. They both agreed it was amazing that neither of them were hurt or suffered from the cold. As she went over the events in her mind, her face began to blanch, and then became suffused with color. She savored the memory his touch and his taste, and when he glanced over...
As the Corona virus panic started to take hold on America, Wal-Mart decided it would cut back hours on its Super Centers from 24 hours to a 6 AM-11 PM schedule. Thus I found myself in the rain outside my local store at 5:50 one morning, waiting with the other two dozen or so shoppers to get into the store to hopefully stock up on basics, including that most...
"Harry, you can't come and get me." I sighed into the phone, while rubbing a clear patch on the fogging window to look at the near white-out conditions. "You're not listening. I'm on a city bus and it's stuck in the snow. This blizzard is the crown jewel in a winter that's like the start of a new ice age." I waited a minute while my brother ranted. I looked...
It was early morning and the first hint of daylight filtered through the bedroom window. Bursts of wind caused Barbara's log cabin to creak and crack indicating that the winter storm continued. She was snowbound, the two mile road out to the highway blocked by drifting snow. Blizzard conditions would most likely play out through the day before a cold front f...
Note: Please, please, please, please leave a comment after the story, Good? Bad? Ugly? I really do care about your comments, and enjoy reading each one. * "I sure hope the weather holds," I commented, to no one in particular, even though my wife, Erin, was the only other person in the car. "The weatherman said it was supposed to storm around six this even...
My plane was the last in before they shut down the airport. It was one of those hairy, yaw filled landings and even the flight attendant looked uncomfortable. The pilot did a masterful job. Ten feet off the runway he slammed the rudder over and had us dead center on the runway and pointed straight as we touched down. The flight attendant made the sign of the...
My friend had this 1958 Chevy. It was an obscene colossus of a car with a paint job consisting of peeling blue enamel, gray primer, body putty and rust. It used a rusty wire coat hanger as a radio antenna. Whenever one of the two massive doors slammed shut, a fine effluvium of rust would drift from the rocker panel to the ground. Inside the vast interior pl...
The car swerved over the snow covered road. I made a small correction to the steering wheel and the tires regained traction. On the horizon I could see another storm blowing in. I only had a few more minutes till I reached my drive. I'll be snuggled inside the cabin before the storm breaks, I thought to myself. After pulling up my drive and securing the truc...
