Rick likes to make omelets, and I like to watch him. He has a ritual: gathering the ingredients from the refrigerator, settling them in the burner of the stovetop that he won’t be using, frying up the meat – bacon or sausage or ham – setting it aside and finally cutting up the vegetables. He […]
I sat in the glow of my computer monitor, my glasses halfway down my nose, typing rapidly. I heard a sound from behind me. I ignored it. “Sandy.” “This isn’t a good time, Kevin. I’m working.” “Sandy.” I turned. He stood leaning against the doorjamb, his right hand tucked under his left arm. He was […]
The office was quiet when she entered. She was nervous, as she had never been to see this doctor before and it was such a personal matter. She rang the bell on the desk then and waited. In a few minutes a tall, well built men entered and smiled at her. She had never been […]
Howard Merriweather was feeling blue. That’s the best way to describe it and it was a perfect feeling. Like a ball might be perfectly round or a line perfectly straight. Howard was perfectly blue.

She was adamant that she wouldn’t allow herself to be photographed if it meant that ANYONE else would see the pictures. I tried to explain that we could have the pics developed through the mail at […]
When I married Kristi I felt like the luckiest man in the world. I’d been a bachelor for the past 2 years ever since I’d caught my first wife cheating on me. We split up right then and there and it wasn’t until I met Kristi that I had any sexual relations with a woman […]
With the top down and the wind blowing through her long black hair they drive into Las Vegas with the setting sun behind them. Cruising down the strip, passing the huge casinos in silence.

Burned out. That’s what I was on the occasion of my boss’s 4th of July party last year. I was 26 years old, just three years out of UC Heritage’s School of Business, a junior accountant at one of the most prestigious firms in the greater Heritage area, and I was just as burned out […]
