dropping into another scene~ Roy’s arms reached for her and he whispered to no one. They existed in two worlds. A pane of glass separated him from his reality and Ella. A Sarah Vaughn song lulled his thoughts: ‘Lover Man.’ Meanwhile life went on. He knew this truth. The kids needed new shoes, Jacqueline nagged about a leaking tap, and the garage waited … Read More A View From A Window
Thoughts rammed Roy’s mind. He leaned to rest his forehead against the kitchen window. The glass cooled the fire that raged through his head. Reality is here and now. Reality was the girls’ laughter heard from beyond a sheer pane of glass. What about the children? Roy stood at the window and watched his daughters skip about the yard.

She turned, eased past the two sailors to speak with the host. “That one, toward the back wall-” and pointed to a section of round tables placed beneath a … Read More Birdie

GETTING CREATIVE- combining my short stories with the music I make (read the story and you’ll find the song), making audio stories (for those of you who prefer to listen), posts about my music, poems (or really, really short stories as I like to call them 😉), throwing in some quotes for inspiration and sometimes I try to draw something too (not very successfully I might add) 😊.
