In The Vanguard
Mon, 20 Oct 2014, 09:26 PM (-06:00)
You saw him, didn’t you? Governor Poindexter up there on the stage looking serious, speaking to the cameras, taking charge of the epidemic that’s gripped the nation, posing in front of that Texas hospital that was in the vanguard. Except that the hospital didn’t manage things quite like they would have liked. Not quite as […]
Numbers

I played a video for them. They were sitting in their desks and standing in the back of the room and sitting on the floor in the front. It was a time lapse video of the northern lights. I played it to show them the wheeling stars and beauty of a cold winterscape and to […]
It Could Happen

1. Julia didn’t sleep at all that night. Even though Jack and Katherine fell fast asleep. Even though they had been up late, and she should have been tired; she was not. And she didn’t sleep a wink. The images and the sounds of … that place … swirled through her head. She could smell […]
Knowing Acorns For What They Are
Sun, 28 Sep 2014, 07:47 PM (-06:00)
We’re standing there in the parking lot. Standing in a circle waiting for the rest of the group to arrive. Waiting for our workout to begin. There was a loud bang and some oblong green thing the size of the tip of your thumb bounced off the trunk of a car and rolled on the […]
They’re Staring at Me
Sun, 28 Sep 2014, 03:33 PM (-06:00)
They’re staring at me. Both of them. Just sitting and standing there staring silently directly at me. It’s only 4:30. No, you can’t have dinner yet. That’s what I get for feeding them early before I went out last night. And darn it, now I’m hungry, too! Thanks a lot, doggies.

In the Drizzle
Sat, 13 Sep 2014, 10:40 AM (-06:00)
In the drizzle out there somewhere is a beetle trying to stay dry. That beetle that was lumbering along on that log beneath the Live Oak trees. Lumbering along and then climbing up a Morning Glory vine in search of … something. And in the drizzle out there somewhere is a lizard trying to stay […]
The Girl in Blue
Sat, 13 Sep 2014, 09:06 AM (-06:00)
I thought we were starting the conversation back up. So did I. Well, where have you been. What are you waiting for? Um… How about you tell us a story. A story. Well, it just happens I have one to tell. Perfect. I’ll sit here and be quiet. The floor is yours. This is the […]
