Wild Goose Chase
It was a brisk morning. The dew was still on the grass and the morning mist just starting to burn off with the rising sun. I stood on the hill looking out over the fairway.
Breathing in, I set up my stance then exhaled and swung. The ball sailed 160 yards out into the fairway.
"Not too bad", Eddie says as he walked to the golf cart.

Kolchak Returns
August 29, 6:18pm
They say it is the moon shining on the mica in the sand that causes the glow however, here at the Superstition Spring golf course, it is something much more ominous.
It started when some men were playing a twilight round. The sand trap appeared to give off a faint yellowish green color. One of the players hit his ball ( Read more... ) -
The glow of purple
it is Thursday and I drive across the bridge with the glow of purple to my left. I take casual glances and see the entire sky over #Lamaramore emanating a purple aura, The stadium lights are always purple but the city has a positive and energizing vibe especially since the city government has changed all their exterior lighting to be purple.

a human, a dwarf and a half-elf meet in the woods ....
Bearson stood in the clearing at the edge of the forest, he was fidgeting with a glass disk that he was traded in exchange for some light security work, if you want to call it that.

Impossible Task
It had rained the entire day before. I am not complaining because it had not rained in 2 months, obviously I was disregarding the occasional sky spitting; we really needed it but it made the ground saturated so I sunk into the leaves. My knees were becoming soaked where I knelt on the earth while I called to the crying kitten in the trees.

She loves me, She loves me not
having woke up in a great mood, I say to myself, "man, I am one good looking dude!" as I look into the mirror after wiping the shaving cream from my face. I finish getting dressed and as I put on my watch, I notice the time, 7:30am and think to myself, I will give her a call on the way into the office.

It's a Sing-A-long
this one dedicated to the A$$hole animal abuser...
She walks warily down the street
With her brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of her feet,

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the car, the cat flies
To the sound of the beat
Another one cast outside
Another ( Read more... )
