For the past three years, I have wandered mostly alone after being driven from the pride of my birth, doomed to lurk at the edge of my elder’s territory, always on the outside, looking in, but all that has changed since I drove off my father and killed his cubs. I am a young lion,… Continue reading I am a young lion and this is my pride, being a fictionalized account from the perspective of the King of the Jungle
Other than the candy, it seemed to Otto, who was a simple man, that Halloween was an entire holiday devoted exclusively to fear, well beyond mischief night or the day itself, and being frightened was something he spent his entire life avoiding. Otto had a big problem with Halloween. He liked the candy well enough,… Continue reading Otto and the ghost that cried, being a fictionalized account of a man who was scared of Halloween
In this official selection of the Independent Horror Movie Awards, a failed actor tormented by his nagging mother lands a dream audition to play the titular prince Hamlet in Shakespeare’s greatest creation, but all is not as it seems when the actor might be as crazy as the Danish prince himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFxX3GrcoX0 Written and Directed… Continue reading Hamlet: Full Dress Rehearsal
Otto hadn’t received a gift for as long as he could remember, if ever. In all these senses and more, the entire holiday season meant absolutely nothing to him. In that case, why did he love the holidays so, when he was alone and did nothing to celebrate in any event? Otto didn’t have much… Continue reading The end of Thanksgiving as we know it, being a fictionalized account of a simple man who loved the holidays
Otto was a simple man, some might say too simple or perhaps even describe him as mentally retarded, to use the term from an earlier, less enlightened era.

Being a fictionalized account of a future where nothing grows for over twenty years and humanity, or at least the less than five percent that survived, subsists on manufactured foods in a secure colony at an undisclosed location. It was mid-May, but nothing grew. The grass outside Otto’s kitchen window was as dreary, desiccated, and… Continue reading A world without spring

“The sergeant, Taz, didn’t have many meaningful thoughts throughout his prolonged captivity, nothing of consequence in his entire mind until he found himself at the very uncomfortable center of attention in an underground city straight out of some half-forgotten myth. Before then, he’d been taken from the site of the attack on the skiffs, forcibly… Continue reading BOOK EXCERPT: Yet another few pages from my forthcoming fantasy novel, “The Law of the Primes: The Boy King,” part one of a planned world-spanning trilogy
“Mirra found an apt visual metaphor for both the hidden smoldering of human emotion and the literal unraveling of the colony in the crystal clear video footage of the hydroplant before and after the flames. It was replayed countless times, from countless angles in the days that followed, enough for her to connect the three… Continue reading BOOK EXCERPT: A few more pages from “Far From Home: The City Under the Sea”
