Blue

A prose poem in honor of my best friend — Today I am feeling blue. But of a different kind. Blue were the skies when you left us on this earthly plane. As I drove you to your new destiny, your new home. Going up and down winding roads and hills, With tears in my eyes, I couldn’t help but…

I See Them, and It Hurts

A ballad of mindful introspection — I see them living their lives, filled with items on their full-size shelves, inside their three-car garages while their hearts remain empty. And it really hurts.

She Crazy

A short story on madness and truth — “She’s going through that phase again,” said Mom to Dad, shaking her head. Mom didn’t know I could eavesdrop on their conversations late at night. She was clueless about many things in life, but that specific thing was the one thing I needed her to believe. However, she didn’t. Sofia…

The Black Walnut Tree

A short story about distant memories — “One, two, three, four, five,” I can still hear my mom say in the kitchen while counting crackers and packing them into our lunch bags before we left for school. I stare at the poor family in northwest Oklahoma from the top branch of the black walnut tree. …

A Thanksgiving Story — “Maggie,” Justin yelled as he climbed down the front porch steps. “Wait!” Maggie turned around. “What is it?” “You can’t just leave.” Maggie cocked an eyebrow. “Oh, really?

Extra

A 100-word short story “That'll cost you extra,” the hotel manager mumbles as I head to the luxury sauna. “The hot stones,” he adds, pointing to my tray. “It didn’t before,” I snap. He recedes, eyes drooping. Who’s going to stop me after all? They all knew about Josh’s little…
