In a Lonelier Place. Runner-up in 3:00 AM Challenge.
The screech and jolt of hard brakes forced Laurel out of sleep. The car careering around a bend, a rock raised in temper. She had both been in the car and watching the car side swerve into the headlights of another driver. A strangled scream. Dizzy. Disorientated.

Delicious Nightmares. Top Story - May 2024.
There is nothing novel in the observation that a good cinema experience is akin to a waking dream. We sit in darkness and become enveloped in a world of images that we piece together to form a narrative. Sometimes the images overpower us and we struggle with the paralysis of a nightmare. And then the lights come back up and we take a breath to remember it was not real, we were not in that car crash, we were not in a fight, we were not a lover being romanced. And we need a moment between the last credit and the real world to gather our thoughts to find meaning in what we have seen.

Spellbound (1945). Top Story - May 2024.
As part of my ongoing ambition to be a 1940s screenwriter, I have re-watched Hitchcock’s Spellbound. Of course, he is the master of suspense. During the 1940s and 1950s Hitchcock used his years of experience in the film industry to direct some of the most thrilling and frightening films of the era. They are full of heightened emotions, conflict and twisted plot-lines.
