Wildest Dreams- Drive
When I asked where we were going, Mr. Prent replied, “Let’s get out of this town; drive out of the city, just… get away from these crowds of students and teachers…” And witnesses. “I like the sound of that.” So we went on a long drive. No destination in sight. Maybe Mr. Prent got theContinue reading “Wildest Dreams- Drive”

They linger like an unpleasant odor. Soured like rotten milk. And my guts feel like twisted steel. Most Saturdays I spend bitingContinue reading “Wildest Dreams: Midnight”
What It Took To Realize- Chapter One
Chapter One Mist rose above the falls as water slapped down against water, rhythmically and soothingly. Over all else, a child’s cry could be heard. I searched through the fog for the being whose screaming lungs touched something deep within me. When I happened upon a wicker basket in the river, the sobbing died down.Continue reading “What It Took To Realize- Chapter One”
