Clairmonte Estate: Morning Coffee

  The chilly January breeze blew at her hot espresso as Sophie spread the vegan cream cheese over her Everything bagel. Her enormous stone balcony overlooked the backyard garden and the towering forest trees beyond it. But the garden was misty and looked to be overgrown even though she knew her father had a few gardeners employed even now. She remembered the garden in its heyday. With colorful…

No Escape

A haiku about the rainy days of winter.

Falling from the sky.Even rain is dragged down, downforced by gravity.

The Doll

A flash fiction supernatural horror story.

     A slow creak slices through the stale air. Something lurks in the hallway. Silently revealed, a silhouette appears. Light flares out beyond the doorframe, outlining a small child-sized figure, darkened by the surrounding brightness of the night-light streaming in from the kitchen. Something’s staring at you, unmoving. Statuesque and cold. Its inertia is unnerving and wakes you more from your…

Places In Time

     The biting winter air of the churchyard cemetery remained silent, undisturbed under the twilight veil of the dying sun. No change from the last time he had visited. Time dragged on lazily as the fog that draped over the area began to steadily rise up. A gothic, gray cathedral materialized from underneath it, revealing the outline of the mountainous structure. His heart palpating, he lingered…

Melancholic prose Words that make me think of you Constant reminders

A.M.

In the sharp light, crisp and clean, the midnight shadows have withdrawn. And you dissipate like the steam escaping my hot coffee.

Rebirth

Long ago, we met.Or was it yesterday, dear?Time's non linear.

The Bitter End

Will you stay with me? When the world is burning bright, Till the bitter end?

Mother's Love

Mother’s Love

There’s no cure for my sick, sad soul. And I’m tired of having dreams of endless voidsdevouring me whole.Whirling, twirling, twisting around me.Eternally hungry,digesting me alive.But am I alive? What does it mean?Or is this some kind of hell? Torment?Torture that my heart draws near?A glimmer of light risesin this black tunnelBut it’s always out of reach.Ever teasing, taunting.I’ve been running…

Anesthesia - II

Anesthesia – II

Stumbling through dry, cracking fields rustling, scratching my skin; grass level with my chest. My chest, hammering, stabbing. A wrecked truck in front of me, putrid smells of hot plastic burning. Golden fields bleeding into a crimson collage consuming sections of the blue skies into black. The side window ruptures from the heat. The cab's interior is enveloped in flames, blazing on a hot July…
