A Thousand Raindrop Stories
A Thousand Raindrop Stories In a small village nestled between rolling hills and a wide, slow-moving river, the rain was never just weather—it was an event. The villagers had long believed that each raindrop carried a story, a memory, or a piece of wisdom from the world beyond. Whenever the first drops fell, the villagers would pause, tilt their heads to the sky, and listen.

a visit via dream
Walking into my family's trailer, I smiled as I counted all my brothers; laughing, wrestling, drinking soda and beer and just enjoying each other’s company. My nieces were all spread out in the room, watching the window as it snowed large dry flakes. With how it stuck to the ledge, they were grinning as we were getting ready to be snowed in. Despite the cold outside, inside the trailer was warm. Bobbing and weaving through all the cheerful people, I found my spot to rest.

What Was That?
It was late November, and the days were growing shorter, the nights colder. The small town of Wrenwood was already preparing for winter, with residents stocking up on firewood and sealing their windows against the biting wind. There was a sense of quiet anticipation in the air, the kind that precedes a long, dark season. But no one could have anticipated what would happen on the night of the 23rd.

Adventures of Oahron (prologue)
Preface This story is based off of the starting point of a sci-fi fantasy war story I wrote some years ago. I am taking the beginning portion of an early draft of my book and splitting it into short stories (probably 3 short stories) based off of my main character Oahron in his early childhood. This is an ongoing draft and may be a bit jagged and in need of editing. Please show support for this project to help support a bigger work based on these promotional stories I will be sharing freely online.

The Present. Top Story - December 2024.
Jackie Chase is getting dressed up for the Christmas party at his sister’s house which starts in the next hour. “Boy I cannot wait to get my hand, or my fork and spoon into some of that banana pudding Rudy cooked” Jackie thought out loud. He then grabbed his phone, the charger to go with it and his car keys as he prepared to head out the door.

Unexpected Connections. Content Warning.
Micaela and I had been together for what felt like a lifetime. We’d fallen in love one sun-drenched summer when we were twenty, our connection as natural as the turning of the tides. I had always been faithful to her, and I believed she was the same not out of obligation, but out of a deep, mutual respect.
