The light casts shadows across your skin and plays with your hair as I watch from my desk chair. Not for the first time you have fallen asleep on the red velvet couch. I pray it will not be the last. I can’t help but to admire your loyalty and your strength for no other woman would put up with my eccentricities with half as much grace and love. I lay my thoughts in ink as quick as my body will allow. I must be sadistic for I draw pleasure and torment from the same act. Is the situation any…

The complicated nature of the situation unfolding before Gavin Kourt was evident and so he watched from two tables away. He watched the smile fade from the pretty face of a young woman passing by turn into confusion and then upon confirmation distort further into anger.

It was the simple sidelong glance of that woman’s eyes which tipped off the man to the presence of the other woman. Gavin took a sip of his…

She took no notice of the outside world floating around her. All attention was directed at the black markings on cream pages and the images they created in her mind. She was captivated. Her presence was no longer in the bleak coffee shop but in a lush green forest with tree’s towering above her trying to touch the heavens. They could have for all she knew.

The top two buttons were undone on his plum purple shirt and his tie was an inch from falling off. James didn’t notice either of these attributes about his disheveled appearance. The only item capturing his attention was the glass of honey beer mixed with a few shots of hard cinnamon whiskey. It was a nasty concoction.

His facial features didn’t…

Lyle heard the distinct metal click of a guns slide slamming home behind him and the assumption that he was alone in his one bedroom apartment vanished. “My dear friend Lyle, who would have thought I would see you again after all these years?” He remembered the voice like a child remembers the first nightmare which causes them to wet the bed and run to their parents room for refuge. Such a traumatizing situation latches on throughout the mind and when the child becomes an adult they must still check the closet for the monster. A creature of the darkness…

I walk the crowded streets but the feeling of loneliness grips my heart like steel in winter. Where have my loved ones gone? Have I been deserted or have I left them behind on my travels. Here I am, in a brand new place seeing familiar faces but it’s just not the same. These aren’t the people I knew. These aren’t the people I let into my heart once upon a time. Their eyes boast a vague reminder, their voices a reminiscent tone of those individuals of my recent past but it is not them. They are gone. I gaze…

Numerous life altering moments will arise in the span of an individuals life.

It is up to us to sift through a mound of sand with hope of finding a single specific grain. This is what life offers us and in the end I assume there is no…
