Beams of lazy light sink into poolsas amber droplets cascade and puddle,shimmering on the rain-streaked asphalt,chasing away the nightone street-light at a time.The rustling branches of overhanging treeslike secretive whispers in the darknessbow and sway in the evening breeze,their leaves...

Imperial Coaches
"A lustful traveller rides the midnight coach"

The Back Road
"A story of two youthful teens taking advantage of a long drive home"
The truck whined as I downshifted from fourth gear; smoothly working the clutch in time with the shifter. I listened to the engine as that summer mountain breeze came in from the window. That black, single cab Chevy pickup was...

Storming passion
"After years and years of reading stories I finally put the work required into writing my own. Enjoy."
Under the cover of the deep night, thick, heavy raindrops keep smashing against the window. Silent, sleepily groans join the rhythmical splats of the raindrops against the glass surface while the bed sheets fold and unfold over your body. An...
