  • She Waited

    She waited… Margo kept thinking to herself, “I waited, but I don’t think it was long enough, or maybe I was on the wrong track. That must’ve been it. I was on the wrong track. I know I got the trains  mixed up.” She wept. She sat on her suitcase on the platform and just… Read more

  • Halloween Slumber Party

           “Hello.”  I heard it plain as day. I knew right then it was coming back to the house from the storage facility. I took a pickup truckload of stuff to my building, in the rain and brought back a Ouija Board.  “Hello,” it said again, louder this time. I knew where it was and… Read more

  • Trick or Treat Ghost

    “Stop, I lost my shoe,” Bonnie said. She was crying. It was pitch dark and we were in the middle of a flower bed in somebody’s front yard. There were four of us. Bonnie was the tiniest five year old I knew. She looked about three and was just as annoying. None of us wanted… Read more

    It looked like somebody made wedding bouquets and needed my blue and white bloomers.

  • National Registry

  • Security

    I love the feel of sheer silk against my skin, don’t you?

  • The Fatigue

    Doesn’t my interpretation of the painting count? Isn’t it supposed to be a hanging Rorshact test?

  • Still the Same

    I ran away from home a couple of times. Once after college I went to Texas for no good reason. The last time with a man to England, half an hour from Stonehenge. We had to get married. I was pregnant.  I won’t do that again.  I came back. I am the same person I…
