Recurring Dream

***** Waking up fast, it was the smell of fire that greeted his nostrils. Moving faster than ever before, all his things were secured, machete in hand, as the inferno closed in. Leaping like a white-tail deer, he cut down obstructions and desperately searched for daylight. The canopy was thick like cooked spinach above him, […]

A majestic father with his gal and 2 cubs. Peering out from eyes embedded in the rigged bark, she focused intently on papa lion’s face until […]

Three men surfed through space inside of a giant, titanium golf tee. Not so much like those longer ones proliferated these days, more like a good-ole-fashioned ‘regular’ tee. The tee also had a few wings and some added minor details, such as rocket propulsion, landing gear, and a rover to explore the surface of extraterrestrial terrestrials. […]

A Date with Mr. French, Film Director

(Soft piano music and gentle clinks of metal on porcelain fill the air. A small Italian restaurant. White tablecloths with napkins the same shade as their house red. There is a single candle on each table, so that the room’s already dim lighting flickers slightly; an almost imperceptible strobe. A bit crowded for a Saturday […]
