Tonight
the sea is quiet
full of life
but oh so quiet
and soft rays of dusk
light the water’s edge
Alone
on a timber pier
sits an old man
so alone
just a gentle soul
the old man and the sea
Dreams
he had them once
but they died with her
lost them
no love was stronger
he cries a little harder
Alive
with her laughter
it echoes still now
hurts even after
the moon sets in
like the sun of long ago
Today
the sea is quiet
the winds have died
it’s a peaceful quiet
a new day arises
and the pier is cold

Horror/supernatural are my favorite writing genres

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
