For Fandango's Friday Flashback, I'm sharing this bit of story that I originally posted on September 14, 2018. Somehow I didn't have any posts from February 14 even though I've been blogging for two years. I realize it's been over a month since I last posted, but I hope to post more frequently beginning today. … Continue reading Short Story for Fandango’s Friday Flashback: A Discovery in the Snow, Part III
Photo by Noah Silliman on Unsplash. I wrote this story almost nine years ago for a class on children's literature. This story was inspired by an exercise we did, involving sets of cards with characters, locations, and objects. I was a freshman in college then and didn't know what kind of thing I wanted to write or how to … Continue reading Story for Throwback Thursday #39

Photo by Kamil Feczko on Unsplash. Today's Throwback Thursday story was written over five years ago and for some reason it came to my mind today.

Colin was only twelve and didn’t care for history. He wanted … Continue reading Flash Fiction for Weekend Writing Prompt #133: Longevity
Photo by John Silliman on Unsplash. For today's Throwback Thursday story, I'm sharing something I wrote in January of 2008. I was only seventeen when I wrote this story, so I can say pretty confidently that I've improved in the past eleven-or-so years. The moon was shining full on the house of Sedgewick, but no one noticed it, … Continue reading Throwback Thursday #36: Sebastian Becomes a Ghost
Photo by Leonardo Yip on Unsplash. Yes, I said "fanfiction." For today's Throwback Thursday story, I'm sharing a fanfiction piece I wrote years ago--I'm not even sure how many--based on characters from the anime/manga Soul Eater. Soul Eater was one of my favorite shows for a while, and I found myself often relating to Death the Kid. *** … Continue reading Fanfiction for Throwback Thursday #35
Photo by Toa Heftiba on Unsplash. Again, I find that I'm late in posting my Throwback Thursday story. Ah well. Life happens. Today I have something I wrote about seven years ago in the summer. At the time I was hosting a regular writing group in my dorm on campus and I first posted this story on the … Continue reading Throwback Thursday #32–Short Story: A Ghost Story
There were five of them, Victor with feathers for hair and a toothy smile, Agnes with skin white as milk, Philippa whose footsteps couldn’t be heard, and then of course Emil and Oliver. Emil could be a beast, and Oliver—well, he was the worst of them, and also the baby. It was Oliver’s day to … Continue reading Flash Fiction: Five Children #RDP
