The Day Minato Saw The Light

Minato Harada was playing on the beach on the northern shore of Inoko island. Dawn had been a couple of hours ago, and he was skipping stones across the sea. His father was out on his boat, trying to catch fish to feed his family and to sell so he could buy other goods they needed. And his mother was at home, a few hundred yards away. At first, when she'd allowed him to go down to the beac...

Should I Stay or Should I Go

Should I stay of should I go. That is the dilemma I have been pondering for the past several days. After growing up in a military family, yes I am or was a military brat, I determined that when I left home I would find a place to settle and would stay. I had hated that we had moved so much while I was growing up. It kept me afraid of making friends as I knew that as soon as I became tight w...

They swallowed steak and potatoes, bathed in buttere...

Sanity Stolen

“The Great wall of China?” the investigator asked.“Stolen,” his partner replied, turning a new page on his notepad. “What about the Statue of Liberty? Oh, no wait. It’s been stolen, I remember.”“Yep,” his partner nodded. “Two weeks ago.”“Damn!” The investigator slammed a fist at his palm. “We need to find who’s behind this, Watson!”“Um, sir,” the other raised his head above his notepad. “For the third time, my name isn’t Watson. It’s Stewart.”The investigator waved a dismissive hand. “Close e...

Waiting

I am waiting for an answer to a question. I have just asked my boyfriend of five years to marry me. I don’t know why I did such a thing. Well, I do. I love him very much. He’s always been there for me. He’s always come around when things aren’t looking good. I’m ready to spend forever with him. I’m just not sure whether or not he’ll say yes. I hope he does honestly. I could never live with myself if he d...

Torchlight

The darkness hides secrets, but sometimes, it also holds a small measure of comfort. The power goes out on Friday night, plunging the city into total darkness. It’s large shadow, seemingly cast by the footprints of a giant, overwhelming, and only eclipsed by the pale ring of the moon. (Sickly, ill light standing alone against the void; a single person standing tall, defying judgement before wrathful armies. There’s something fascinating about that that holds your attention, makes you breat...

Worth Fighting For

“Do you ever wonder if we belonged in a book?” I asked Jack. It was simply a question out of the blue that I thought about. “Or a movie…? Hey Jack, are you even listening?” I sat in a fast-food restaurant with my best friend Jack eating dinner after a long day of high school. He looked at me with droopy eyes; he slept late last night studying for today’s math test in school. He made a great gaping yawn, then rubbed his eyes. “I’m sorry, can you say that again? I’m terribly exhausted from last night. You said something about… what ...

May I Have Your Consent?

“May I have your consent, Connor?”The man in question blinked once, twice. He was still not familiar with the total whiteness of the room. The doctor sitting before him mentioned the idea of purity, like a newborn. Connor thought it fit the description of this Reborn programme.“Sorry, could you walk me through the last minute? I—”“Probably the medicine is still kicking. You might find it difficult to maintain concentrat...

Hackney Holiday

It was my first time in London. Despite what I read in history books over the years, and had seen on the screens of popular cinema, I wanted to see the fabled city on my own terms. It was getting to be late afternoon on my second day in town. I had visited Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, and had my fill of lukewarm pints and meat-pies. I was ready to delve out of the thin veneer of tourists attractions, and get more into the “local” experience. I wanted to get my mind off of the banalities of work, too. My friend “Ozzy” had ...

The Adventures of Malachi Norton: The Mystery of the Missing Memory

My dear friend Malachi Norton and I received letters and callers at our London apartments seeking our detective services on a nearly daily basis, but even so, my friend refused to interest himself in any of the cases, claming they lacked novelty. Average, run-of-the-mill crime had always bored him; he craved a challenge worthy of his outstanding mental capabilities. The nearly catatonic appearance of my friend, sitting motionless in his armchair, remained unchanged for the major portion of the day. He was seated thus in perfect silence, ...

Memories Between Pages

*Based on a true friendship*The doorbell rings and I jolt from my thoughts nearly spilling my coffee. The dogs are barking ferociously at the Amazon delivery man as he walks back down the pathway to his truck. I let them calm down before I attempt to open the front door to grab my package. I’d really rather not chase them through the neighborhood. Again. I smile proudly at my guard dogs doing their duty. No one would dare break in once their intimidating barks are heard. I certainly don’t need an alarm system.

Bruce never tells the truth

I live in Texas and there is a saying in Texas. I rather climb a tree and tell you a lie than stand on the ground and tell you the truth.

Every one in town knew Bruce He was the guy who reused everybody stories and by the time you heard it again it was Bruce in t...
