We’d eaten the dog.
There hadn’t been much meat on it, and it was a small thing anyway &#8211; a terrier. Starving, too. You could see the shapes of bones through its skin as it scurried across our path. Ben and Miller had given chase, if you could call it that. I just stood [...]]]></description>

Fedella was fond of death. It smelled of dust and sweetness.
Even now as she placed her last bouquet in one of the graves in the rock wall, the scent of decaying bodies was all around her. She knelt upon the dirt ground and bent her neck in respect before the resting corpses. Slowly, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by S.P. Miskowski
Along this part of the road, a quarter mile from the nearest neighbor, Douglas fir grew in abundance and the broken asphalt gave way in stages to gravel and dirt. There was alder springing up in the gullies, and Western hemlock scattered at the outskirts of the forest.
This was where the boy and [...]]]></description>

Martin charged up the stairs two at a time, his jaw tensed, teeth gritted together and hands clenched into fists by his side. His anger surged like a tide in full flood and his trainers thumped on the marble steps, and repeated as dull echoes beneath the high ceiling of the faculty building. [...]]]></description>

Jeff had failed at a great number of things in his life: marriage, fatherhood, work, and sobriety.  However, one thing he had more than succeeded at was cappuccino making.  Sadly, he lived in a world filled with latte loving yuppies.  So much milk and sugary syrups, it was like they [...]]]></description>

I’ve got something to tell you, friend.
Come closer. I have to whisper it in your ear.
It’s a secret.

Jordan snapped the red flag down and started the meter. The fare pulled the taxi door shut, rocking the whole cab as he sat down. The meter chattered and whirred like a clockwork insect.

The sickness woke him. Silver sharp bells rang in his ears. Pain rolled over his skin like heated burlap scraping and plucking as it went.  His nurse, Huko, ran in plunging his hypo-syringe into the spider web of IV bags hanging beside the bed. He pressed a button on one of the [...]]]></description>

Even in the depths of summer, Warren never wore short sleeves, but the prospect of the sale made him forget, and he rolled up his sleeves without thought.
Thankfully the client didn’t see a thing, too lost in paperwork and future planning to notice, but Blake, Warren’s boss, wasn’t quite as distracted, and called [...]]]></description>

On August 21, 2017 and again on April 8, 2024 the small
town of Kelso, Missouri will be in the path of totality of a solar
 eclipse.
August 21, 2017:
“Do you miss your mother, Darryl?”
“I guess,” he replied.
“You’re okay with her not being around?”
He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. “I have you, Dad.”

What a waste of time. Raymond Ames yawned and tossed his history book onto the polished mahogany desk. He didn&#8217;t need to memorize all this stuff about the founding of White America. It wasn&#8217;t like it was going to help him at anything. He rose from the well-worn leather chair and strolled to [...]]]></description>
