The Counting Game
The rules were simple, my grandmother explained on her deathbed. "When you hear the counting start, you must not stop what you're doing. You must not look. You must not answer."
The Support Group
We meet every Thursday at 8 PM in the basement of St. Michael's Church. Seven folding chairs in a circle. It's not Alcoholics Anonymous. The sign says "Support Group for the Survived."
Room 1408 of the Mind
Dr. Evelyn Chen had spent twenty years mapping the human brain, but she had never seen anything like the Patterson case. Theodore Patterson showed no signs of dementia, yet he hadn't spoken in eleven months.
Manhattan Serenade
Nights like these. Automobiles and their consistent roaring, each hour year in and year out with no end in sight. The sun may rise and fall but the streets remain lit through the nights.
Astoria, Oregon
Astoria Oregon, summer 1986 late afternoon. The sun westward bound, peeks out from behind the passing storm clouds. The homes of Astoria, now brightly illuminated, glisten as the excess water settles.
A Moment for Love 2
Just as I thought I'd grown to know this world I so intimately inhabit. It soon became clear to me that one could never truly understand its inhabitants. As I return to the corner of Alhambra Ave, Sister Comet awaits.
