A New Chapter

My daughter, Rachael, got married on May 10th, 2019. She and her husband, Troy, have now begun an exciting new chapter in their lives. The jubilation everyone felt went beyond ... Searching
A figure walks towards a forest wearing a plain white dress, clutching a child wrapped in red cloth close to her chest. There’s a cape draped around her shoulders. The figure adjusts the bundle in her arms to pull the hood up over her frizzy, messy bun she had put her hair into. Around her, ...In The Valley Of Our Yesteryear
An old man bent, stooped amidst the passing crowd as the summer day wore on, and the heat along with it. The park had a pleasant breeze rolling in from the north to stave off the sun’s blazing glare. He stared at a tall oak tree that took residence in the park’s nexus. Here, sidewalks ...Terror In The Tunnels

The rickety porch threatens to collapse, and the sight of it causes Caleb to let out a sharp breath. The fourteen-year-old regrets his choice for completing a dare ...Lucas Meets Ana
“Lucy, what if she wants to kiss me?” Dai asked me, nervously wringing his sun-kissed hands, and dancing around like a toddler doing the potty dance. I looked at my friend as I raised a strawberry blonde eyebrow. His light brown hair looked like a squished porcupine on his head. “Dai I think-Did Dria roll ...- EnvironmentEntertainmentCreativityParenting & FamilySelf-Help & RelationshipsFictionMemoir & Autobiographies
The Ravine
