Nose
A few years back I found myself standing along the east bank of the Catawba river near Belmont, North Carolina. It was a chilly December morning, and a light mist was in the air that soon turned into a cold drizzle. I took shelter under the railroad trestle and watched the rain come down. I had packed a lunch in a brown paper bag which consisted of a turkey sandwich, some carrot sticks and an apple. I found a nice dry spot and started munching on the carrot sticks when I noticed a skinny brown dog standing in the reeds by the riverbank, eyeing me carefully. He was a mutt with perhaps a terrier ancestry. I whistled softly and his head cocked to the side and his ears popped up like a couple of flags at a carnival shooting gallery. I motioned for him to come closer, which he did carefully, not trusting me, but at the same time sniffing a morsel and hoping to partake of my generosity.

The Maroon Chair
The Maroon Chair By Craig R. Hipkins The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. If anyone had been around, they might glance through the foggy glass pane and see nothing but an empty chair; a maroon-colored chair, tattered and frayed with age. However, if one looked closely enough, they might seem to perceive something disturbing. A slight movement from the backrest…a fluttering motion as if the chair might be breathing.
