The Country of Ghosts. The FICTION will see the REAL. Thursday, August 16, 2012. The brooms are gathering their water buckets again,. The froth of suds sloshing over the hooper's work. And dripping onto the perilous stairs. I'll try not to be frantic this time,. Running around in my foolishly flapping robes. And adjusting the ill-fitting hat over my ridiculous ears. The water is pouring from the parapets now,. Like the veiled threats and childish aggression. Wielded in an unknown and undeserved place,.

The men have gone out to kill for the day. We figured out that blunt trauma to the head works best,. Bullet or baseball bat, simply a difference in exertion.

The Country of Ghosts. The FICTION will see the REAL. Monday, April 19, 2010. The first breath tightened my chest, as the crisp October air hit my lungs. Johnny’s pale 1972 Catalina idled in the driveway. I called out goodbye to my parents, and heard them respond from the kitchen, as I clutched the stolen bottle of whiskey inside my jacket a bit closer to my body. Sitting still as stone watching- watching. People walking by you wondering why. No one ever stops to talk. Or thinks about it-if they ever did.

The Country of Ghosts. The FICTION will see the REAL. Monday, May 9, 2011.

The house is still mostly empty, and a slew of boxes populate the halls and bedrooms, but we are done for today, and my brother and I sit across from each other, elbows on the Beech-stained table, sipping warm beer; as the refrigerator arrives tomorrow. At some point, we know it is time. The mo...

The second man was younger, but it was clear his years had been hard, and he moved his small eyes around the room, quickly, in search of a very specific goal. 8220;Why’d you bring me in here? 8221; the second man said, concern in his voice. 8220;What’re we gonna do, George?
