Fiction Stories

A city boy returns to his hometown to find out what he's missed. Please note that when it comes to the dialogue, you'll see a lot of words that are deliberately misspelled and some speech that isn't grammatically correct. This is my way of representing the regional dialect of the main character's hometown in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Hippie mom expecting a visit from an old acquaintance starts reminiscing about the olden days and brings her son into her past

This is just a bit of fun, meant to entertain you in a tough time. It's been a while since I've posted a story that didn't wander off into reincarnation, the wild west or Word War Two. So I thought I try a formula morality tale. You know the trope, caught the bitch, burned the bitch, humping the divorcee next door. Of course, I'm aware that this particular warhorse has been ridden a million times already. So, I tried to give mine a slight alien twist. I hope you enjoy - DT.

Some stories are written to explain the world. Others are written to remind us what it feels like to live in it. This is not a story about history, or war, or even time—though all of those pass quietly through its pages. It is a story about the small promises we make to ourselves when we are young, and the surprising ways life asks us to keep them. It is about love that grows before it announces itself. About courage that speaks softly.

A Outbound Story
Some lives intersecting can have momentous effect on the world...

Trapped in a Buffalo blizzard, Andi Roberts and her daughters were doomed unless someone came to save them. At the same time, Paul Jarecki sat alone in his cabin, wondering why he continued to cling to his solitary life. A panicked call to 911 set in motion a rescue, which became a romance, which became a love that neither Andi nor Paul could comprehend. Is it a dying dream or is it real? Book Two is now also available at Bookapy.

Only a world war could keep them apart.
