FICTION: If you had one wish
Laura looked at her watch as her heels clacked on the pavement. She nearly twisted her ankle twice trying to pace wider than she was used to, striding with a jogger’s gait more than a businesswoman’s. She looked at her watch again, almost willing it to turn back. Shit shit shit. — read more

FICTION: How do you cure obsession?
Note: I’m exploring dark fiction, so please don’t set me up for an intervention or psychiatric help. *** Two… four… six… I remember how it all started.

THROWBACK FICTION: The circle of love
This is the first time ever I’ve ever posted a first draft. Happy Valentine’s. *** She was walking down the path with her head down. In a place like this, time was insubstantial, physical boundaries were a dream, and all that mattered was the presence of another person sharing your space. He saw her from… — read more
