• I want to feel Jung again — oops that was a Freudian slip.

  • Retrospect on a Childhood Well Lived

    Klamath, California is where I grew up and it’s constantly being confused with Klamath Falls, Oregon. Dad work for the federal government, Mom for a local tourist attraction and with four kids, money was always tight. We never had a fast-food place like McDonald’s, Burger King or Taco Bell. Fast food was a bologna or…

  • From the Ruins

    “Happened again,” a Corporal to my left whispered. “What?” I asked. Someone answered, “Skipper got us lost again, Doc.” “Oh.” We’re on night patrol, maybe two clicks north and west of our fire base. The scuttlebutt is that we were outside the wire to ‘chase our tail,’ meaning we are out here to impress some…

  • Under the Influence of a Full-moon

    Sure, it was full moon, but not every monster in the underworld was out making mayhem and sowing fear. Werewolf wasn’t interested in blood, guts or gore, knowing it would harsh his mellow.

  • Being single is better than being lied too, cheated on, and disrespected. Thank goodness I’m not married to Congress.

  • Frou-frou Coffee, Pt. 2

    As he stood by the side of his truck, gassing up, he noticed a woman squatting by the ice machine. She looked tired, was dirty and down on her luck. She leaned on a large metal framed backpack. Finish at the pump, he walked over, “Can I get you a soda, coffee, something to eat?”…

  • On Foot

    Your religious? I prefer pedestrian, Walking in belief.

  • Frou-frou Coffee, Pt.1

    As he turned off his computer, he chuckled at the attempt in humor of the story about the boy trying to solve a murder only to find out it is fiction story written by Stephen King. He got up and crossed the hallway, got undress and laid down on his bed. Sleep found him quickly.…
