Special Announcement
Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s the new cover art for my soon to be released audio drama “Buried Alive”. Much like the current ceasefire in Gaza Strip to exchange hostages and allow humanitarian aid; “Buried Alive”, the first in a new original noir mystery series starring Detective Larry Hughes, focuses on the ransom negotiations for Marie who’s been buried alive.

Writing Assessment
(sfx of war, people panicking, explosions, fade in under opening narration.) NARRATOR The world had died years ago. War, disease, and environmental collapse had taken its toll. Yet once the dead began to live again as zombies, walking the Earth to consume those brave enough to survive in the barren landscape, all hope for humanity ended.

Roman Soldier
He had a picture of Mercedes in his hand. She, a national symbol of the Ukrainian woman every young soldier wanted to marry and start a family with in the countryside. Yet she’d been taken away from the electro night clubs filled with house music and used to gain information on a Russian Mail Order bride site. Only the tale of her rescue spread across the frontline with soldiers facing each other, and the risk of coronavirus; the reason their mouths were covered with facemasks.

Winning and Losing
“Lower! Lower! Lower!” the crowd yelled together. The moment almost overwhelming for this essential worker who spent most of his time behind plexiglass, serving as a cashier at a grocery store. Now on a day off, and a three-hour drive to the center of the entertainment world for a chance to win it all on a favorite game show.

Ghost Hospital
Jasper didn’t believe in the Holy Ghost, so how could people expect him to believe in a regular ghost. Yet the conversation with the old woman left him feeling unnerved. Really more like a sideshow gypsy telling a fortune than a homeless woman asking for change. Honestly, who else would say such a thing, “spirits gather for a meeting with you.”

Barn Owl: Night Owl - Part 3
The Twin Owls welcomed Baby Great Grey Owl and the Jedi Master to the Rebel Alliance moon base hidden on the south pole of the dark side of one of Hoot’s moons. This one had a residence that kept it mostly on the sun side of the planet, it’s exaggerated elliptical orbit taking it closets to the planets south pole before being flung out into space.

Barn Owl: Night Owl - Part 2
Just like most solar systems this one had an oort cloud of ice rocks where the spaceship hid to avoid detection in case advanced deep space observation units were in place. Without contact with Hoot for more than 200-years they couldn’t be sure exactly what they’d been able to develop, with the added chance of contact with other nearby solar systems, who could be monitoring this one.

Barn Owl: Night Owl
The Jedi Master navigated through the darkness of space with the star map secure. Earth and the Russian named Hennadyi left behind. Whatever drama his life possessed would now have to play out free of intervention. The Jedi’s debt paid to the family that had watched over the case for more than a thousand-years with gold Roman coins.

It’s a Cold Place Again
Hennadyi walked away from the grungy restaurant still thinking about the pigmy goat. No doubt it had been killed now for a paying customer’s feast. What it had been, with its shiny coat of hair and strong will to live; had now been consumed by someone living from one day to another like himself.
