Still-life with Coffee

This piece of creative nonfiction is based on a journal entry I wrote in the early 1990s I sit alone in the coffee shop.  It is the kind of self-conscious coffee shop that sells Fair-Trade coffee in large white ceramic mugs and serves food on mismatched china.  The baristas are young, attractive, pierced and tattooed.  … Continue reading Still-life with Coffee

Flashback

It is the flood of emotion that always makes me flee.  The triggers are unpredictable but the reaction is not.  It is like someone is ripping my chest open, using a rib spreader, exposing the fragile membranes around my heart to the glare of light.  I clutch my hand to my chest, as though I … Continue reading Flashback

Heart of the Storm – Chapter Eleven

Days passed quickly for Legolas in Lothlorien. He awakened each morning in Storm’s arms and kissed her gently until she roused and returned his kisses.

Heart of the Storm – Chapter Nine

Legolas appreciated the honor being bestowed on him by the people of Galadrium, but if he was honest with himself, he would rather spend a quiet evening resting and reflecting on the events of the last two days over dressing up in formal clothing and facing a hall of strangers.   He could feel all eyes … Continue reading Heart of the Storm – Chapter Nine

Heart of the Storm – Chapter Eight

True to her word, Storm led Legolas through the main gates of the City of Galadrium before the setting of the sun.  Legolas was dazzled by the city’s beauty.  Massive staircases spiraled around the trunks of trees larger than anything Legolas had ever seen.  He could see platforms of every shape and size above his … Continue reading Heart of the Storm – Chapter Eight
