Darkest Vow
The following is a teaser chapter from my Kindle eBook - Darkest Vow. Chapter 1 Radiating streaks of light broke through the tattered aluminum blinds. At first, they were faint, but as each passing minute crept closer and closer to another bitter unfulfilling day, the intensity rose in a crest not diminished by the scant protection the blinds offered. I rolled over, letting my body free itself from the sweat-stained sheets while my head buried itself in the folds of the pillowcase like an ostrich seeking the succor of darkness within an earthen hole.

Martin Pappas
Martin Pappas was, by most accounts, a perfectly normal man. He had a normal face, a normal house, a normal car, a normal wife, and two exceedingly normal children. Like most normal men his age, he was an accountant. He worked for a normal firm in a normal office building in perfectly normal Downtown Evanston. Also like most normal men, he wasn’t happy. He wasn’t miserable, by any means, but he had a bit bigger of a dream than simply being an accountant. He wanted something more out of life.

Call Me By Your Name
Stuck inside or shall I say, more precisely, buried in lament within; the Neapolitan tune were these sad, smoldering words, “From the mouth where flowers once blossomed only worms emerge”. Who was Elio to Ulliva ? Was it a late night ice cream longing that was far, too long to get to, but worthwhile the ride ? Of course, what else if not it ? Except that kitchen had peaches prepared. Tiny, creamy blobs of our hero freshly sandwiched, glinting in live Italian sun.
