Adventure
Goodbye to Us:Thirty Years of Lies
Thirty years. That is how long we were together. No, scratch that — thirty years of endurance, of sticking to something that had been disintegrating all along. I went through a portion of my time on earth seeing someone feels like a falsehood now. A brutal, elaborate untruth that I wouldn't see. In any case, reality? It's forever been there, hiding on a deeper level, sitting tight for me to at last awaken.

The Spy Who Did the Heimlich
My name is Bruce, like Bruce Wayne and Batman. On my birthday, I moved to the group home. I turned 30. Dad said I was a man and real men have their own places. I live with two other guys. Dave is in a wheelchair and Bob uses an iPad to talk to people. They watch football with me. Go Penn State!

Going crazy...
***Note: this is an excerpt from my book, Return to Space, and I retain all rights to this material*** David woke up on the cold floor with the smell of smoke burning his nostrils. As he found the source of the fire, he freaked out hard core. Cindy was sitting on the bunk bed, humming a song he had never heard before, while she tossed a burning ball of fire from one hand to her other hand and back again. “Oh good, you are up. Good morning!” Her soft voice still maintained the tune as she spoke and her smile made shivers run up and down David’s back.

Thunderbelly
In the far-flung reaches of the galaxy, where few dared to venture and fewer still could understand, there was a peculiar place known as Teddy Planet. A strange hysteria had seized the inhabitants--living, breathing teddy bears, soft and plush on the outside but inside, burdened by an inexplicable fear. These bears, despite their cuddly exteriors, were consumed by an obsessive dread of something intangible. Some spoke in hushed whispers about the weather, others about a looming threat, but the true source of their paranoia was a mysterious figure that loomed above them, casting a long shadow over their idyllic world--Thunderbelly.

What Does It Take Courage For You To Do Or Not Do?
“Sorry, but I am afraid,” Georgia said pacing around in the park as Sherry sat on one of many concrete benches. Sherry coaxes, “Just go in and pick up the red bag on the floor beside the table at the window. You will be paid.”

Echoes of the Heart: A Love Reborn
A delicate breeze stirred through the trees as Aiden and Lily strolled one next to the other, rucksacks thrown over their shoulders. They had been companions as far back as they could recollect, sharing youth chuckling, school tasks, and presently, the intriguing progress to school life. Both were overflowing with expectation, anxious to meet new individuals and face the difficulties that looked for them.

Man on a Mission
My breath comes in rapid gulps as I peer cautiously through the foliage. No trace of pursuit. Yet. The jungle spreads all around me like a wild green blanket, shielding me from the prying eyes. My enemies are smart and wily though. I know they are hot on my heels and won’t give up easily.
