Serial Friday ~ Arcadian Journey
Chapter Four When Eni awakened, Stavo had a lavish breakfast ready and they sat and enjoyed it and each other, ignoring a buzzing tension in the air. When Eni returned to the station house, it was quiet as a grave. Bill Condry manned the day desk and sent her out on patrol. She checked on […]
Over Chai or Beer
If the sky had been really falling Would I have felt it hit on the head If reason’s voice had been calling Would I have heard what it said Do I prattle all the live-long day Trying to make my life have sense Tongue tangled, mind in the way My plea, hope, peace, my defense […]
Story Arc
In time, I will surely find my place In my place, I will surely find the time Human existence no longer a contest or race Let’s discard the fears of youth for a new paradigm
Serial Tuesday ~ Toliver
Chapter Five What was the matter with this sub-human idiot, Joad wondered? Had he been living alone on a remote asteroid? His internal queries gave him no clue. “Are you trying to tell me you don’t know about the sabotage to the weather satellite,” he asked? Toliver turned from the disarrayed pile of lumber […]

Another Way

Serial Friday ~ Arcadian Journey
Chapter Two Eni no longer stood by Stavo and Brother Dom. She marched up to North and pinned him with her stare. Joy Hardiway, looking distraught, came up as well. Eni made North begin again, though it made him swear. He spoke more slowly under her prodding glare and his tone was not so fraught […]
Beneath the Grass
What would it feel like, any fun, to live to be one hundred My imagination tells me it would be less fun more dread With luck, still shuffling around, able to pee upon my shoes Not rolled about like deadwood by someone I don’t choose Perhaps I will be non compos mentis and it will […]
