Back of My Head


          That money. I had to keep it. Somehow. It beat like a very small drum at the back of my head. A small and very distant drum .......

         Truth, like light, binds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.

Deep Ridges

 
          A shudder streaked through Cassidy, and in the deep ridges of his mind he saw the bottle as a loathsome, grotesque creature that had lured Doris and captured her and pleasured itself with her, draining the sweet life from her body as it poured it's rottenness into her. He saw the bottle as something poisonous and altogether hateful, and Doris completely helpless in it's grasp.
