The loud bang woke Alex from a very sound sleep. What was that? he thought to himself. His eyes were wide and his vision blurry as he attempted to adjust to the darkness that filled his bedroom. Soon the dim moonlight that filtered in through a crack in his curtains was enough to allow Alex … Continue reading Touch
Something I Made Up
Dedicated
I should preface this by saying that I really don't listen to the radio that much. This puts me at quite the disadvantage whenever anyone brings up whatever the latest chart toppers might be or what artists the cool kids are all listening to these days. Maybe it's a byproduct of getting older, but I'm … Continue reading Dedicated
First Verse
Welcome to Friday Fiction! This is the part of the blog where I post something that is, hopefully, just made up enough to be considered fiction. It’s a chance to flex those creative muscles a bit by finding a quick writing prompt and running with it. This week’s prompt: “If your love life were a … Continue reading First Verse

Message in a Bottle
The romantic in her was hoping she had just stumbled upon a Nicholas Sparks novel come to life. Then again, don't most of his books end up with one tragedy or another? Doesn't someone always wind up dead? Does that just make Nicholas Sparks the Stephen King of the love story genre? Diane shook her … Continue reading Message in a Bottle
The Adventures of Lois Lane – Chapter One
What follows is the first part of a planned series of short stories about Lois Lane. It should go without saying, I don't own any of the characters related to Superman. They belong to DC Comics. Basically, this is fan fiction. If you like it, let me know and I'll get cracking on chapter two. … Continue reading The Adventures of Lois Lane – Chapter One
Lois Lane
I think it's safe to say that I've always liked the character of Lois Lane. In fact, she may be the only fictional character that I've consistently had a crush on for most of my lifetime. You can keep your Wonder Women, your Supergirls, your Catwomen... Maybe that can be chalked up to a mostly … Continue reading Lois Lane
My Trip to the Circus & My Trip to the Circus

She tweeted back: "Describe two visits to the circus from the point of view of someone who's bipolar. On one visit, he's manic, and … Continue reading My Trip to the Circus & My Trip to the Circus
Luscious
"This isn't really my kind of place!" yelled Leigh over the noise of the crowd. Christine just shook her head. "That's why we're here! Time for you to get out more!" Leigh sat at the bar and absentmindedly stirred her drink. Exams were over and Christine had talked her into going out to celebrate the … Continue reading Luscious
Moves
We moved a lot when I was a kid. No, I wasn't an army brat. Dad just had this nomadic streak about him. The longest amount of time we ever spent in one place was 18 months. That was because of a recession and we couldn't afford to move. Or so I was told. I … Continue reading Moves
