I sat on the stump and gazed into the flames.I watched as they danced and sang their old crackled tune, sending light into the moonless night. Somehow I felt myself drawn into their mystery. I was sitting close enough that the heat was starting to singe the hairs on my arms, but by moving just a hair back I would lose the feeling and warmth of the fire entirely. The smell of the burning wood made ...
“You good? ” Mabel signed from the other side of the store.
“Fine.” I signed back. I walked briskly to the checkout line in the store where I met her.
“You looked like you needed to escape” she signed.
“I did. A lady came up to talk to me and I couldn’t figure out how to tell her I’m deaf” I replied. “She walked away when I looked at you.”
“She probably thought you were being rude!” she sa...
She looked over her shoulder to check out her pursuers. This look may have cost her more that she could pay.
She paddled as hard as she could, her muscles aching with every movement. But she couldn’t stop. This was her life on the line. She neared the final bend and realized her pursuers were closing in.
But she knew she could do it. She knew what it would cost. She knew this was a price she co...
Liam was wierd. I mean, he spends all his day in a science lab with another professor, and when he comes home, he talks about their latest and greatest project. He was a science Psycho. He was also very paranoid, always talking about someone trying to steal the information they were working on. That’s why I didn’t believe him when he told me he was being followed.
But on day, he didn’t come home...
He comes home
From active duty
To greet the woman
He Promised his life to
But as he approached her
He knew something was very wrong
She didn’t look happy to see him
Instead she looked
Bored
Like she had better things to do
The love the used to glow in her eyes
Was no longer there
She gives him a hesitant hug
But with no passion
Her touch seemed cold and lifeless
She says nothing as they get...
He slowed to a halt and peered out the window as he asked the fateful question: “Need a ride?”
I smiled mischievously. “Well you can’t take my home because my trucks still here, but you can drop me off at it.”His eyes sparkled. I knew there was something there. Something between us. But neither of us could put it into words.
“Well hop in and be sure to get you where you need to go,” he said wi...
You beauty is so alluring. I’m staring in the face of perfection. Somehow, I can’t take my eyes off you. I know I have to make the first move, but I don’t know where to start. I love you but your powers are too strong….they scare me.
I’m afraid of what might happen, what I will have to pay, if I continue to live like this. Yet my eyes well with tears at the thought of losing you to someone else...

Kallie continued staring at at her computer. The odds were stacked up against her. The organization she worked for had found out what she had been doing, and she knew that there was someone out there waiting to take her out. With the secrets she knew about the company, she was a serious threat to them. She already had a small bag packed with all her necessities. All she had to do was complete her ...
Over the hill
Looking back on a life well lived
Reaching a ripe age
With a legacy, worthy of remembrance
No matter which way you look,
You can see the hand of the Lord,
Working in your life
Over the hill
Your children now reach the age
Where they can do for themselves
You feel alone
But your not alone
You can see the hand of the Lord
Working in your life
Over the hill
You began to see all the s...
