When she awoke, she was alone. She couldn't make sense of it. Only a moment ago she was sitting with her mother and father and two brothers having breakfast, but now it was dark, and she was alone. She tried to move but something was holding her, crushing...
Olivia woke to slippery blood on her thighs, her nightdress clinging. She got up, the cradle of leaden pain between her hips making her slow and clumsy as she stripped the sheets to see that she'd bled through to the mattress. This was not an auspicious s...
Lifting the receiver she dials, waiting as each ring seems to take an eternity, then he answers. "He doesn't suspect a thing. I promise." "But he seems to look at me like he knows. I keep waiting for him to say something." "Don't lose control, he has...
After I finish the chores, the drudgery that is each day, I prepare for my time with Dee. She is simply the longest, most loving relationship I have ever had and tonight needs to be special. I light candles and turn down the stereo, wanting the mood to be...
Ower the haugh and yont a glen there is a bonny dun Where the corbie flies agin the sky, afore the setting sun, Wi talloun and cracklings we sit doon and have a little drink And efter a wee heavy or two, we heat up a Cullen Skink, It'll tek ye frae al...
She came from Saint Louis way. Jungle and farmland for me. From first look knowing she's out of my league.But she stole my heart that hot July day. What can this fool do? But to ride my bicycle by every day. For there was another. For he too was after her...
"We can dance if we want to." So that's what they did. They drove about an hour away to the nearest honky tonk. The music was mostly Texas two-step and foxtrot but the band got a little funky at times trying new things. They danced that night, having fun...
The night was sticky and hot and I was sweating plenty even though it was well past sunset. Gravel crunched beneath my shoes, echoed loud off abandoned buildings. This neighborhood wasn’t safe after dark but I was hurting and needed to be here. A five-inc...

Strength like the mighty oak tree There he stands For all to see Standing tall and strong Firm hands to hold Love in his laughter Compassion in his eye From dawn to dusk And back again Nerver changing He never fails Standing firm for all to see He bends...
I look for you Then I see You're always All around me The soft kiss Of dew on leaves The bright sun That shines with energy The tender sunset As the day relaxes Day to night Night to day Always with me In your loving ways Sounds and smells Remind me how...
Twilight had surrendered to the full dark of night before Olivia remembered to call her mum and let her know that the funeral had proceeded without incident (mostly) and that she was settling in. "Don't forget it's only a couple of weeks before you start...
I am thankful and celebrating today. I’m sitting on a knitting box. My neighbour’s overwhelmingly colourful, cluttered living room feels like a sweat box as I watch her pull her blankets tighter. Believe it or not, I’m smiling, ignoring the sweat gatherin...
I miss you... Let me rephrase I missed you. And there's nothing wrong with that. But I can't sit around anymore reminiscing, I can't wait for you to come back. I know you won't. I know the chance you would even read this is slim. But I am not writing this...
