Without warning specks appear in your vision, shadows that race away before direct line of sight can lock in on them. A throbbing starts in the head. Its uncomfortable at first, nagging and persistent in… Continue reading Headache

Ghost
Manifested among the living. Did the lights flicker? A whisper like a shadow lingering just out of sight. Someone or something almost visible in the dim light. A scattering of soft particles in the air caught by a ray of light, fragile. The mind questions the eye’s ability to discern the difference between imagined and… Continue reading Ghost

Face
Heart shaped lips and a concave nose set under green almond eyes with experience crinkling the corners. Show your face. The front part of the head that stretches from the chin up to the forehead.

Eraser
The rubber is an unblemished white when I pick it up. Its surface is smooth and it is firm yet pliable. The touch of it between the fingers leaves a strange coated feeling, but it isn’t something that can seen.

Apple
Gala, Braeburn, red delicious, Cortland, fuji, empire, cameo and Jonagold – there is nothing like an apple with its rich collection of minerals and vitamins. The bright red skin is slightly waxy. This exterior layer protects the crisp flesh beneath. The whitish meat is sweet, tart and juicy and at its center are seed pockets… Continue reading Apple

I tap my fingers, slow and rhythmic, against the empty page of my notebook. I watched my hand move my pencil backwards and up, line after line. Each letter traced over with the lead tip vanished from the page until I found myself here. My hand is unoccupied. My HB pencil evaporated into a thin… Continue reading Unwritten
