Circus memories

Her eyes closely inspected the frame; it appeared to be a very old picture of her and her old crew. They all were like family to her; they went through the same abuse together. Some were worse than others. Nevertheless, they all sat by each other's side. Sadly, as time went on, she felt like they were all growing apart from each other. Meeting new people, making families, and eventually leaving h...

Trio of Dummies

“Edgar Bergen. Charlie McCarthy. Mortimer Snerd! I haven’t seen you boys in forever. How long has it been?”


“How long has it been since you opened this old trunk, you big dummy?” Charlie quipped.

The Trunk

“Leroy, have you seen my easel, that rickety old standing one I used to have?” My wife’s question floated down over the sounds of the program I am watching on tv. Technically I had heard her, but I didn’t register a word she had said. The television judge was about to hand down her ruling, after all, and I was listening intently to that.


“Leroy, did you hear me?” She insists on asking again when...

The greatest, and the only, The Dancing Mice!” I struggled on the squirming rope, trying to find the end. The one-wheeler bike tossed roughly, losing balance fast. I felt my skin drop, the bike falling with me. The mice running around, the tank of ...

Retired Circus

Once upon a time, there was a circus performer named Jack who was the star of the traveling circus. From city-to-city, he dazzled audiences with his death defying acrobatic skills. Leaping through rings of fire while on rollerblades, performing top-notch fight choreography with razor sharp swords, and dancing like a modern-day MJ. Every night, he performs a dangerous stunt that involves fire.

I Missed The Gold

I shivered as I walked along the small path, the black satin of my shift not enough protection from the cool night air. Holding myself tightly, I stepped onto the dirt, walking around the back of the manor and finding my faded grey sedan tucked by the trees.

Me

Blinding lights streak all across the room

The sun is still in its rising position

The beams blast through the old attic, illuminating the dust covered boxes

It is a city of cardboard surrounding a solitary wooden chest that all but left my mind until my eyes laid upon it

My name whispered in my ears

Echoing all around my brain

I’m drawn to the box and move toward it before realizing that I’m alr...
