She… her… me… us
Too much noise from the world outside; The TV inside a cascade of lies. She hides under the blankets, terrified; Of an Earth she thought she knew.

Windblown
Alleyways are disgusting! If an elegant silk scarf from Neiman Marcus could voice its opinion, that would be it. The beautiful blues and rich yellows turn brown as the muddy water from a puddle seeps into its fibers.

The Gateway - Part 3
NOTE: This is part 3 - Please see my profile for the 1st and 2nd parts. Voices jar Hayley out of her stupor. A voice raised in anger, the other meek, placating. The voices… she knows them. They are burned into her memories; they visit her in her nightmares. Hayley’s knees go weak with trepidation. How can this be?

103rd Times a Charm. Top Story - June 2023.
“Clink! Where are we with this?” I hiss quietly, knowing my communicator will pick it up. “Sorry Boss! This hack is taking a minute,”

To Hunt a Killer
It was amazing to Dozmin how beautiful the city still looked to him, even knowing its seedy underbelly. The night sky was clear, the air as fresh as it could be, considering the thousands of vehicles clogging the busy streets. Smoothly easing his motorcycle between two luxury cars, he speeds up to get ahead of them.

Lost and Found
The trees sound like they're whispering. It’s dark, and the forest is dense where I’m standing. I’m lost, but that’s okay, that’s what I wanted. Closing my eyes, I breathe.

Through the Doorway
Three moons. That’s what I see when I open my eyes. That’s not right. Trying to sit up, I feel the heaviness of gravity pulling me back down. That’s not right either.

The Gateway
Part 2 Hayley’s eyes flutter open. Her room is still dark so it must not yet be morning. Reaching her hand out, she fumbles for her nightstand and the lamp perched on its surface.

The Harpy’s Treasure
Chapter One The Harpy’s Treasure Dusk has nearly fallen as Trosen waits patiently for the head of the Harpy clan. The scrag was late as usual, but that didn’t surprise him.

The Mortal's Magic
The dawn is bright, and I squint my eyes as the sun flares up over the horizon. After nearly 200 years asleep in a deep cave under one of the biggest mountains on this side of the Silver Planes, it’s no wonder I’m nearly blinded.

The Gateway. Runner-Up in Campfire Ghost Story Challenge.
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Hayley slows her old pick-up truck, the front end taking a deep dip into one of the many muddy ruts along this, not so often used, dirt road.

To Chase a Dragon
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley, Droeska thinks as she stands on the precipice overlooking the still shadowed depths below.
