Dinner is Served

Welcome home! Mama always greeted me that way. Why can’t you do that as well? See, the sky is dark now and I worked so hard today; a warm greeting would lighten up my day. But I guess you are too busy with your favorite show. You are kicking the table for three straight minutes … Continue reading Dinner is Served

This is the last day that I see the light. The last day I hear the people's cries. The last... the first time I shall scream back. I'm innocent. "Liar, liar," they shouted. "Hang him." "Kill him."

Metallic Memory

Three-thirty in the afternoon, the whole small town of Shale grew quiet. The cool, strong winds came and Alex looked out of the window and saw it all.
