Eek! Eek! Red!

I pass, a willful stranger;
My mistress still the open road
And the bright eyes of danger.

--- Robert Louis Stevenson (Youth and Love)

As told to...

Gina Tells Me How She Drowned,
Doorknobs & Bodypaint,
August 2010

It took years to publish this story. I finally realized why. The title was Drowning and I was using my byline, but the story is told from a female point of view. So I changed the title and here it is.

The Island Horses

Hoof Hearted,
Ascent Aspirations,
August 2010

The idea for this story came to me when I was reading about the Chincoteague Island horses.

You can read about the legend of the Chincoteague Island horses here.

You can see pictures of the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge here.

Get an afterlife.

Ascent Aspirations,

Lily? Are you sure?

They Have White Stellate Blossoms,
Static Movement,
June 2010

But lilies are such big, bold flowers and these were so small and shy. There were so many of them. I'm sure I heard them croaking.
