I love her. 30 years, I tried to tell her, but never could. In this time a lot happened – growing up, education, career, marriage and her husband’s death. I tried till I got cancer 2 years ago.
Her funeral. I’ll try now, again. After all, there is no better ghost in […]
He ranted and raved for nearly an hour, called me every despicable, vile name he could conjure and cursing my family for having had the misfortune of bringing a no brained idiot like myself into the world.

The green bowl, brimming with tiny noodles and nibbles of meatball, sat just out of reach. Luke pounded his tray and burbled with anticipation. How much longer would he have to wait!

Sandy wanted to choose the terms, instead of letting the disease take them away from her. But she still wept as her long auburn locks were cut off.

Far below lay the South Col. He could see the tents. He pressed onwards, despite knowing how foolish it was.
