A Monster Lives in that Closet

"A monster lives in that closet," Grandma said. She looked at me, and then the closet. Her wrinkled and fascinating hands so calmly slid a coaster under her tea. "What?" I said. This was an alarming turn in the evening. I inched my way closer to her, painfully aware of every noise around me, but … Continue reading A Monster Lives in that Closet →

That Which Suddenly Summons

June picked the paper off the stoop, shook the wet off, and took it inside. The timbre of the tea-kettle's song was at it's peak, with a patient cup waiting next to it.

Violet’s Morning

Some street lamps illuminate the growing dark. They shine on the young, the lost, and the rumbling night. They do not make the rain, but they reflect on the drizzled puddles below.

Passion, Fears, & Thrills

Passion is inside each and every one of us. For some it is an innate desire from childhood, for others it germinates through the gauntlet of maturity. This ambition is what carries us through the day. It is a craving that caters our creative plate and palate. Whatever the drive it does not matter, as … Continue reading Passion, Fears, & Thrills →
